this paper presents a description of the equipment, testing procedure, and methodology to obtain ground mechanical parameters. the p-y curves for laterally loaded piles are developed. methods for the development of p-y curves from pressure meter and dilatometer (dmt) test are described. p-y curves are used in the analysis to represent lateral soil-pile interaction. the pressure meter offers an ...

The intensity –duration –frequency (IDF) curves play most important role in watershed management, flood control and hydraulic design of structures. Conventional method for calculating the IDF curves needs hourly rainfall data in different durations which is not extensively available in many regions. Instead 24-hour precipitation statistics were measured in most rain-gauge stations. In this stud...

in this paper, we give some characterizations for legendre spherical, legendre normal and legendre rectifying curves in the 3-dimensional sasakian space. furthermore, we show that legendre spherical curves are also legendre normal curves. in particular, we prove that the inverse of curvature of a legendre rectifying curve is a non-constant linear function of the arclength parameter.

the rotation curves of a sample of 46 low- and high-surface brightness galaxies are considered in the context of milgrom's modi_ed dynamics (mond) to test a new interpolating function proposed by zhao et al. (2010) [1] and compare with the results of simple interpolating function. the predicted rotation curves are calculated from the total baryonic matter based on the b-band surface photometry,...

in this paper, the effect of flow rate on relative permeability curves was investigated in iranian carbonate rocks. core samples were prepared from outcrop of asmari formation. the dynamic displacement experiments were performed at 2.55, 3.55, 4.55 and 5.55 cc/hr during waterflooding and oilflooding. relative permeabilities have been calculated with the jones and roszelle method and then the fl...
