it is proposed to use a single base platform in the persian gulf considering its low depth and more appropriate environmental conditions in comparison to north sea and mexico gulf where this kind of platform is very popular. the pile of platform is responsible for transmission of environmental loads resulted from waves, currents, wind and dead loads to foundation of platform. using sacs 5.3 sof...

Because of the current situation where stability research filled-slope reinforced by a frame with prestressed anchor-plates lags behind actual engineering application, based on ultimate balance theory, calculation formulas factor under four arc slip surface filled-slopes are derived using improved Bishop method; corresponding search method most dangerous is given and pullout force improved. Bas...

EPS geofoam has been used for about 40 years in many geotechnical applications in many countries around the world. EPS geofoam possesses properties which are often advantageous in geotechnical construction. These include: an extremely low density, a high strength-to-weight ratio and very small or virtually zero lateral expansion under compressive loading. It has been used for backfilling retain...

In existing buildings, it may be necessary to repair, adapt, renew, relocate or demolish buildings and building parts that have come the end of their usage period due spatial, functional, technical economic obsolescence. After applications extend service life is great importance analyze dynamic behavior under soil-structure interaction earthquake loads obtain accurate results. this study, seism...

Traditional slope stability analysis is limited to the use of single valued parameters to analyze a slope‟s characteristics. Consequently, traditional analysis methods yield single valued estimates for factor of safety of a slope‟s stability. However, the inherent variability of the soil characteristics which affect slope stability indicates that the stability of a slope is a probabilistic rath...
