Abstract: This paper pertains to the finite-element lower bound limit analysis (FELA-LB) of vertical strip anchors embedded in cohesionless and cohesive soils and subjected to static and earthquake forces (using pseudostatic analysis) ...

Abstract: This paper pertains to the finite-element lower-bound bearing capacity analysis of inverted triangular-based strip footings (ITBFs). The solutions are obtained by the construction of a linear stress field that satisfies ...

Abstract: Parameters of rock failure criteria are estimated using an optimization procedure based on appropriate objective function. In the development of objective function, it is assumed that the independent variables are free ...

Abstract: This paper aims to present a comparative study of dynamic response of a machine foundation supporting gas-lift reciprocating compressor using a conventional lumped parameter method and an FEM-based approach. Evaluation of ...

Abstract: This paper presents a study using the FEM on the effect of interference on the settlement of two closely spaced rough rigid strip footings resting on the surface of linearly elastic finite and infinite nonhomogeneous soil ...

Abstract: The present article gives a ray of light on the effects of magnetic field on an unsteady mixed convection flow of nanofluids containing nanoparticles which are spherical and cylindrical in nature. The unsteadiness in the ...

Abstract: AbstractA significant volume of ready-mix concrete is returned to the plant for various reasons such as cancelation of orders, concrete not meeting the specification at the site, and orders of more quantity than required. ...

Abstract: In this investigation, we explore the profound impact of adiabatic partitions on heat transport within a square Rayleigh-Bénard (RB) convection enclosure characterized by surface roughness on the lower hot and upper cold ...
