Abstract: A stability analysis of slopes is presented using the discretization-based kinematic analysis. By generating a discretized failure mechanism satisfying the kinematic admissibility condition with the use of a discretization ...

Abstract: When a retaining wall is adjacent to a natural slope, the overturning of the wall is usually caused by a yielding foundation. At the point of overturning, the narrow backfill behind the wall has reached the active limit ...

Abstract: In order to study the influence of the Taihang Mountain Expressway on the tourism industry pattern of the Taihang Mountain area in Hebei Province, the vector data of the Taihang Mountain Expressway, the data of 43 exit ...

Abstract: Inverted T-type retaining walls are widely used in civil engineering. Classic earth pressure theories cannot accurately predict the failure mechanism of soils behind inverted T-type retaining walls. Under wall translation ...

Abstract: It is well known that there are multiple sliding surfaces behind inverted T-type retaining walls and that reflective sliding surfaces may develop in narrow backfill. Combined with numerical analysis, this paper establishes ...

Abstract: In engineering constructions, the backfill behind retaining walls is usually narrow, and its boundary conditions are asymmetric due to the space limitation. When the retaining wall rotates about the bottom, the direction ...

Abstract: Sintered silver is a popular material for printing conductive traces in printed hybrid electronics (PHE). However, due to the novel materials and printing techniques in PHEs, reliability still needs to be adequately ...

Abstract: The application of phase change materials (PCMs) in prefabricated buildings plays an important role in green building energy savings. In this paper, the wall with a phase change interlayer is composed of common building ...
