SPREAD FOUNDATION CALCULATION ACCORDING TO PREDETERMINED SETTLEMENT

Benefits of geosynthetic reinforcement in widening of embankments subjected to foundation differential settlement

In the present study, physical model tests were conducted to investigate the effect of the geogrid reinforcement on the reduction of the differential settlement in widening of a highway embankment. A water bag filled with water and placed beneath an embankment was used to simulate the soft foundation of the widened portion of the embankment in the physical model test. Water from the water bag w...

A New Analytical Solution for Determination of Acceptable Overall settlement of Heap Leaching Structures Foundation

There are some artificial and natural materials on foundation of heap leaching structures. Geomembrane liner is the most important artificial isolated layer of these structures. The thickness of this layer is about 1 to 2 mm. Foundation overall settlement of such structures changes the primary length of the geomembrane layer. If the strain of geomembrane is more than allowable one, the layer wi...

Calculation of fire spread rates across random landscapes∗

An approach is presented for approximating the expected spread rate of fires that burn across 2-dimensional landscapes with random fuel patterns. The method calculates a harmonic mean spread rate across a small 2-dimensional grid that allows the fire to move forward and laterally. Within this sample grid, all possible spatial fuel arrangements are enumerated and the spread rate of an elliptical...
