Two centrifuge tests on a quay wall and cantilevered retaining with saturated granular backfills were simulated using Finn-Byrne model. Capabilities of model in liquefaction analysis the evaluated. The subjected to horizontal acceleration time history vertical history. constitutive is linear elastic – perfectly plastic Hooke’s elasticity Mohr-coulomb criterion for yield surface assumed backfill...

The use of mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) retaining wall has gained popularity as an alternative of conventional cast in place concrete walls. The construction of mechanically stabilized earth wall is cost effective, requires less site preparation and technically more feasible compared to conventional concrete retaining wall. However, use of backfill with high fine content and their poor d...

This study, tries to suggest a design method based on displacement using finite difference numerical modeling in reinforcing soil retaining wall with steel strip. In this case, dynamic loading characteristics such as duration, frequency, peak ground acceleration, geometrical characteristics of reinforced soil structure and type of the site are considered to correct the pseudo static method and ...

The evaluation of seismic earth pressures is of vital importance for the earthquake resistant design of various retaining walls and infrastructures. It is one of the key research subjects in soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. In engineering practices, the magnitude and distribution of seismic earth pressures are greatly affected by the mode and amount of wall displacement. However, cl...

After a brief review of varistor fundamentals, including a discussion of the infamous " speed of response " issue, the report describes several unconventional packaging implementations of varistor material (usually a flat disc between metallized electrodes), such as molded axial package, bulkhead connectors, coaxial mounting, reconstituted material, and varistor substrates with surface conducti...

Understanding thermally driven coupled hydrological, mechanical, and chemical processes in unsaturated fractured tuff is essential for evaluating the performance of the potential radioactive waste repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. The Drift Scale Test (DST), intended for acquiring such an understanding of these processes, has generated a huge volume of temperature and moisture redistributio...

The investigation on the landscape wall of Wuhan Garden Expo shows that is widely used. There are four types wall, cultural retaining and logo wall. 42 walls in 34 Urban gardens. Their forms themes expression different Expo. Most made marble materials, which show characteristics multi-color collocation color. size often determined by content expression. composition usually designed with plants.
