Abstract: An analytical model dealing with the problem of an expanded cylindrical cavity in an elastoplastic medium is presented. The constitutive material is assumed to be weightless, homogeneous, and isotropic; its resistance is ...

Abstract: This paper studies the effect of certain parameters closely related to the design of column foundations such as the improvement area ratio, especially at low values, e.g., 1 and 4%, and the grain size of the column material ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new parallel robot with an integrated gripper. The grasping capability of the robot is obtained by a foldable platform that can be fully controlled by actuators located on the base of the seven ...

Abstract: To assess the geotechnical properties of soil, the pressuremeter test has been widely employed since its introduction in 1955. This test is instrumental in determining key parameters such as the limit pressure (Pl), creep ...
