The unified modeling language (UML) developed under the coordination of the Object Management Group (OMG) is one of the most important standards for the specification and design of object oriented systems. This standard is currently tuned for real time applications in the form of a new proposal, UML for Real-Time (UML-RT), by Rational Software Corporation and ObjecTime Limited. Because of the i...

Foundation design must satisfy limited values of settlement. Settlement is an essential criterion in the design process of shallow foundations. To calculate the settlement under different types of shallow foundations, 79 samples were taken from twenty-three sites distributed in three regions: Mosul, Baghdad and Basrah in the northern, central and southern parts of Iraq. Field and laboratory tes...

The excavation of a deep foundation pit adjacent to an existing tunnel may lead the large deformation and induce damages in structure. However, influence on structure from nearby excavations has not been understood clearly, since it is affected by complex influencing factors only geological topographical conditions but also construction method positional relationship structures. This paper pres...

The “fire together, wire together” Hebbian learning model is a central principle in neuroscience, but, surprisingly, it has found limited applicability in modern machine learning. In this paper, we show that neuro-plausible variants of competitive Hebbian learning provide a promising foundation for bottom-up deep learning. We propose an unsupervised learning algorithm termed Adaptive Hebbian Le...

Vehicle load is a dynamic and embankment static load. These two types can act simultaneously to accelerate the consolidation rate of ground under embankment, which then leads differential settlement. This settlement dangerous as it cause sudden bouncing shock for vehicles on road. There are also other problems such reduction in exploitation capacity construction work due speed going through pos...

The use of wind turbines to generate electricity has increased in recent years. One of the most important parts of a wind turbine is the foundation, which should be designed accurately because it is influenced by difference forces. Soil cannot carry tension stress; thus, when a wind turbine foundation is applied eccentricity forces, a gap appears between the soil and foundation. The gap will ha...
