in this work, based on experimental observations and exact theoretical predictions, the kinetic scheme of raft polymerization is extended to a wider range of reactions such as irreversible intermediate radical terminations and reversible transfer reactions. the reactions which have been labeled as kinetic scheme are the more probable existing reactions as the theoretical point of view. the deta...

Abstract The micropiled raft offers a foundation system that combines the advantages of conventional piled and efficient installation micropiles. In this paper, comprehensive numerical analysis was conducted on behavior rafts under combined vertical lateral loading using finite element modeling. A model calibrated against full-scale axial field tests is used to conduct analysis. soil profile so...

Abstract Laboratory tests were carried out on non-piled rafts, single piles, surface contacting and non surface-contacting piled rafts which made of aluminum instrumented with strain gauges deflection gauges. The foundations installed in dry sand contained a large metal tank to minimize boundary effects. Maintained loads applied each foundation until failure was closely approached. In parallel,...
