Abstract: In the present analysis, a methodology is developed to calculate the pseudodynamic passive resistance on the back of a battered-faced retaining wall supporting cohesive-frictional backfill using the horizontal slice method ...

Abstract: In geotechnical engineering, determination of the bearing capacity of a shallow foundation in nonhomogeneous soil is an intriguing task. In the present study, an effort was made to evaluate the ultimate bearing capacity ...

Abstract: The high rate of energy consumption in the building sector has led designers toward construction methods that consume less energy during construction through serviceability. One of these methods is rammed-earth (RE) ...

Abstract: In this paper, interruption risk in construction activities of bridge projects is assessed in order to identify the main causes of its occurrence and also to determine the potential outcomes resulted from the risk occurrence. ...

Abstract: Knowledge of seismic active earth pressure behind a rigid retaining wall and its point of application are very important to the design of retaining walls in earthquake-prone regions. This paper presents a detailed study ...

Abstract: Estimation of spatial distribution of rainfall at different time scales is one of the basic steps in water resource studies. Problems in selection of proper methods for mapping rainfall can cause uncertainty in water budget ...

Abstract: The extended Jacobian is a technique for solving the redundancy of redundant robots. It is based on the definition of secondary tasks, through constraint functions that are added to the mapping between joint rates and ...

Abstract: Simulations of the flow field and temperature distribution in a low grade vertical continuous cooling sugar crystallizer were carried out by numerically solving the Navier-Stokes equations in a ...
