the management of sedimentation problems in rivers and reservoirs depend greatly on the sediment yield from the catchment land surface. in this research the effects of biological measures and ranges enclose on suspended load in two sub-catchments of kakhk experimentalwatershed in gonabad has been studied. this catchment contains both control and experimental sub-catchments. these sub-catchments...

This study investigates propagation of mode I crack in B70 pre-stressed concrete sleepers by fracture mechanics approach. A new experimental analysis is done for notched B70 pre-stressed concrete sleepers with Replica test and image analysis. A scanning electron microscope test (SEM) and an image analysis are applied for the Replica test in order to determine crack length and crack mouth openin...

This paper presents a new model of equivalent modulus derived from the Repeated Load CBR (RL-CBR) test without strain gauge. This model is an updated version of Araya et al. model (2011), the update consists of using the vertical strain as weighting factor instead of vertical displacement in the mean vertical and horizontal stresses calculation. The accuracy of equivalent modulus was improved b...
