Simulation of Safe Height Embankment on Soft Ground Using Plaxis

Ground Penetrating Radar Model Simulation for Detection of Coastal Embankment

In recent years, the ground penetrating radar (GPR) is increasingly used in the detection of riprap embankments. In order to analyze the costal embankment with explosive compaction, model experiments are conducted to investigate the influence of seawater on the signal and image of GPR, especially to figure out the image variation of riprap bottom boundary. The influence of immersion of seawater...

Numerical Simulation of Snow Drifting Disaster on Embankment Project

Snow drifting is a typical natural disaster, and an increasing importance has been attached to its theory research and field observation for the sake of cold region engineering. Numerical simulation, as an efficient method of studying snow drifting, promises to be widely applied in this field. In this paper, the finite element method is used to simulate the wind velocity field. Selected upwind,...

the impact of using inspirational quotes on abstract vocabulary recall

the present study is an attempt to investigate the potential impact of inspirational quotes on improving english abstract vocabulary recall. to achieve this goal, a multiple choice language proficiency test of 60 items including vocabulary and grammar component was administered to a sample of 63 second-semester male and female students whose age ranged between 17 to 22 and they were studying en...

Reliability of embankments on soft ground using constrained optimization

The paper deals with the stability of reinforced embankments on soft clay foundations, and presents alternative practical and versatile procedures for easy implementation of the traditionally tedious and iterative limit equilibrium methods of slices, including Bishop’s simplified method and Spencer’s method of slices. The proposed implementation procedures combine the use of constrained optimiz...
