Characteristic values of geotechnical parameters in Eurocode 7

Determination of characteristic values for marine clay

ABSTRACT: Recently, limit state design (LSD) in geotechnical engineering has been developed through LRFD in North America and Eurocode 7 in Europe. LRFD is an approach that estimates resistance by design model and that multiplies resistance factor by calculated resistance to reflect the uncertainty of materials and design models. Whereas, Eurocode 7 employs the partial resistance factor applied...

Geometric Gamma Values and Zeta Values in Positive Characteristic

In analogy with values of the classical Euler Γ-function at rational numbers and the Riemann ζ-function at positive integers, we consider Thakur’s geometric Γ-function evaluated at rational arguments and Carlitz ζ-values at positive integers. We prove that, when considered together, all of the algebraic relations among these special values arise from the standard functional equations of the Γ-f...

Determination of the critical values of flow parameters characteristic of the alignment of cylindrical nano-objects in suspensions

A method for determining the critical values of the flow speed and the flow constriction degree characteristic of the alignment of cylindrical nano-objects in a flowing suspension is proposed. Previously, the alignment process of cylindrical nano-objects in suspensions was investigated by using birefringence of the polarized light and the small-angle X-ray scattering. While both methods are sui...
