Abstract In this paper, a three-dimensional laser scanner was used to monitor the displacement of retaining structures for excavation, including ring beam and reinforced soil mixing wall (SMW) at an open excavation site. Eight scans were taken before after excavation. Three-dimensional point clouds produced with these are registered analyzed determine displacements structures. Cloud Mesh (C2M) ...

In this paper we suggest a method to calculate the first integrals of a special system of the first order of differential equations. Then we use the method for finding the solutions of some differential equations such as, the differential equation of RLC circuit

To strengthen the resilience of our built environment, a good understanding seismic risk is required. Probabilistic performance-based assessment able to rigorously compute and advent numerical computer-based analyses has helped with this. However, it still challenging process as such, this study presents simplified probabilistic displacement-based approach for reinforced concrete wall buildings...

The stability of geogrid-reinforced soil structure is closely related to the interface characteristics between geogrid and soil. However, creep behavior soil–geogrid still unrevealed. In this study, using a modified stress-controlled pullout device, influence normal pressure, dry density, water content on compacted loess high-density polyethylene (HDPE) investigated. A three-parameter empirical...

Accurate predictions of the amount and the rate of long- term deformation of reinforced soils under an applied load are important key issue in geotechnical engineering, in which the deformation of soil develops with time at a state of constant effective stress. Since geosynthetic is generally considered creep sensitive therefore, evaluation of creep behavior of geosynthetic reinforced soil (GRS...

Masonry infill has been widely used as building material due to its cost effectiveness and availability.  The failure of these masonry infill walls during the past earthquakes have underscored the importance of ensuring the safety of the infill walls when it is subjected to lateral loads. In-plane and out of plane failures have been observed in many reinforced concrete framed building with maso...
