This paper delivers a probabilistic attempt to prove that the selection of random three-dimensional finite element (FE) model subsoil affects computed settlements. Parametric analysis soil block is conducted, assuming variable Young’s modulus in particular elements. The represented by field or different-sized sets variables; both cases, same truncated Gaussian assumed. Mean values and standard ...

this research examines the behavior of soil-reinforced piles and applied loads based on the analytical method and by using the numerical results of flac3d software for comparison with the analytical results. the analysis was based on a method called virtual retaining wall, the following into consideration: an imaginary retaining wall that passes the footing edge the bearing capacity of footing ...

Use of auxiliary elements in refining and betterment of engineering properties of soil have gained attention since a long time ago. Nowadays the effectiveness and capability of the soil reinforcing technique for giving proper practical solutions in various projects have resulted in this technique quickly gaining a place in geotechnical engineering. In this paper, the results of laboratory studi...

Two groups have studied the loss of limbs in snake evolution by focusing on a long-distance cis-acting enhancer of Sonic Hedgehog. They find a progressive degeneration of binding sites for key transcription factors, mirroring the progressive limblessness occurring in these reptiles.

in this study, a bearing capacity device is designed and fabricated to determine the load-settlement behavior of three circular footing models resting above the ground water table. capillary rise in the studied well graded sand is measured and the level of the water table is controlled at the desired heights during each bearing capacity test. moreover, shear strength parameters and soil water r...
