The traditional bucket foundation use vertical wall, which like a cup is buried upside down in seabed. A new bucket foundation with partial inclined wall has been proposed in this article. Based on limit equilibrium analysis of threedimensional stress state of foundation, the calculation method of the horizontal bearing capacity of the new bucket foundation has been deduced, which has been veri...

Abstract Gypseous soils are considered one of the most problematic soils. The skirted foundation is an alternative technology that works to improve bearing capacity and reduce settlement. This paper investigates use square foundations resting on gypseous soil subjected concentric eccentric vertical load with eccentricity values 4, 8, 17 mm in 16 experimental model tests. To obtain results by us...

This research examines the pattern of Web information seeking in four groups of nurses with different combinations of domain expertise and Web expertise. Protocols were gathered as the nurses carried out information-seeking tasks in the domain of osteoporosis. Domain and Web novices searched breadth-first and did little or no evaluation of the results. Domain expert/Web novices also searched br...

BACKGROUND This research-based paper examined the Indonesian foundation and endowment laws in relation to educational and religious institutions which are managed under foundation legal structure. The institutions examined were: 1) The Pondok Pesantren al-Ansor Foundation in Padangsidimpuan City; 2) The Pesantren Dar al-Ma'arif Education Foundation in South Labuhanbatu Regency; and 3) ​The Masj...

As Online Social Networks (OSNs) become an intensive subject of research for example in computer science, networking, social sciences etc., a growing need for valid and useful datasets is present. The time taken to crawl the network is however introducing a bias which should be minimized. Usual ways of addressing this problem are sampling based on the nodes (users) ids in the network or crawlin...

In common engineering practice, foundation–soil–foundation interaction of shallow foundations is frequently ignored. This presumably for cost/benefit reasons, since computationally demanding finite-element and/or boundary element models are required that purpose, and its effects usually assumed to be negligible. this sense, the present paper provides a simple inexpensive way incorporating throu...

Mohammad Muzzammil Department of Civil Engineering, AMU, Aligarh, UP 202002, India E-mail: [email protected] An accurate estimation of the maximum possible scour depth at bridge abutments is of paramount importance in decision-making for the safe abutment foundation depth and also for the degree of scour counter-measure to be implemented against excessive scouring. Despite analysis of...
