The Prediction of the Interaction Between an Excavator for the Diaphragm Wall Method and the Surrounding Ground

چکیده
The aim of this paper is to propose a reliable mechanical model which can explain the interaction between an excavator for the diaphragm wall method and the surrounding ground. The non-linear interaction between the control plate of the excavator and the ground was formulated by an exponential type function. The subgrade reaction corresponding to the action of the control plate was expressed by an equation proportional to the lateral displacement at the depth and the coefficient of the subgrade reaction. The estimated behaviors of the excavator showed good accordance with the experimental ones. An intelligent control method considering ground properties was finally proposed based on the mechanical model.

The Stability Assessment of Dasht-e-Abbas Pressure Intake Tunnel Subjected to Ground Strength Reduction-Iran
The hydraulic pressure is one of the most important factors in the design of pressure intake tunnels. Since the surrounding media cannot usually resist the high internal pressure of these tunnels, they are usually finished with an adequate lining mostly of reinforced concrete, which is an interaction problem between water, soil or rock and concrete lining. Although reinforcing the concrete lini...

Front row burden is one of the key parameter to improve the bench blasting results. Improper design of the front row burden can create nuisances in the form of ground vibration, flyrock, back break or it may responsible for breakage of improper fragment size from the rockmass. Therefore, front row burden need to be optimised on the basis of proper scientific assessment. It has been proved that ...

Reinforced concrete frame buildings with Open Ground Story (OGS) are one of the most common building configurations in urban habitat. These configurations are known to be vulnerable to seismic excitations, primarily due to the sudden loss in strength in the ground story and differential stiffness distribution throughout the structure. The differential stiffness distribution is attributed primar...

Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis is a technique for estimating the annual rate of exceedance of a specified ground motion at a site due to the known and suspected earthquake sources. A Monte-Carlo approach is utilized to estimate the seismic hazard at a site. This method uses numerous resampling of an earthquake catalog to construct synthetic catalogs to evaluate the ground motion hazard a...
متن کاملSoil-Interaction of Intake Pressure Tunnels under Ground Strength Reduction Conditions due to Cracking of the Lining (Case study: Dasht-e-Abbas intake pressure tunnel)
The induced cracks on the concrete lining of the intake pressure tunnels may cause the water seep into the surrounding media leading to develop a hydro pressure on the external surface of the lining. In the common design practice, the lining can be designed to tolerate with this pressure using the Schleiss method. However, when the tunnel is constructed above the underground water, the seepage ...
