Abstract: By incorporating the variation of soil friction angle

Abstract: The bearing capacity factor

Abstract: The present study aims at determining the uplift capacity of axially loaded piles in clays whose undrained cohesion increases linearly with depth. With the application of the axisymmetric static limit analysis approach, ...

Abstract: The lower- and upper-bound finite-element limit analysis in conjunction with second-order conic programming (SOCP) was used to estimate the ultimate bearing capacity of strip and circular footings with an inclusion of a ...

Abstract: This paper details a thermo-fluid model of the cylinder-piston-valve assembly of a pneumatic rodding boiler port cleaner. The relationship among the governing parameters is established. Model-predicted ...
