Abstract: Risk problems are treated in different ways in different disciplines and by different experts. Field experts’ knowledge has often been used in solving complex problems of risk from large-scale disasters. A storehouse of ...

Abstract: Lower‐bound limit analysis solutions for collapse loads have been developed for concrete slabs with the loads transmitted through circular contacts at the interior, near the edge, at the edge, or at the corner, assuming ...

Abstract: Based on a radial moment field and the square yield criterion, a lower-bound collapse load is developed for a square footing subjected to a generalized contact pressure distribution. The current lower-bound collapse load ...

Abstract: If volume changes followed a definite pattern of development, the ability to predict the behavior of structures, schedule construction, select techniques and make decisions would be greatly improved. This note shows that ...

Abstract: Seismic passive earth pressure coefficients were computed by the method of limit equilibrium using a pseudostatic approach for seismic forces. Composite curved rupture surfaces were considered in the analysis. While earlier ...

Abstract: The seismic bearing capacity factors for shallow strip footings embedded in sloping ground with general

Abstract: The method of characteristics coupled with a log‐spiral failure surface was used to develop a theory for vertical uplift capacity of shallow horizontal strip anchors in a general

Abstract: Abstract. This research explores the high-temperature tribological characteristics of laser powder bed fused (LPBF) maraging steel 300, with emphasis on how temperature and post-processing via direct aging impact its wear ...
