Determining the ultimate bearing capacity (UBC) is vital for design of shallow foundations. Recently, soft computing methods (i.e. artificial neural networks and support vector machines) have been used for this purpose. In this paper, Random Forest (RF) is utilized as a tree-based ensemble classifier for predicting the UBC of shallow foundations on cohesionless soils. The inputs of model are wi...

The mechanism of blast damage to steel-clad concrete-filled steel tube (SCCFST) arched protective doors is studied using the dynamic response characteristics such loads under action shock wave loads, and ultimate load-bearing capacity formula derived based on “plastic hinge” mode limit analysis, which explores effect wave. design parameters each component door subjected waves discussed. Results...

The ultimate capacity of support structures is checked with extreme loads. This is straightforward when the limit state equations depend on a single load component, and it has become common to report maxima for each load component. However, if more than one load component is influential, e.g., both axial force and bending moments, it is not straightforward how to define an extreme load. The com...

Cement, sand, coarse aggregate, water and reinforcing bar are the materials to make a reinforced concrete beam. The waste paper has been dumped as causes environmental pollution behind mill or landfill. industry wastage for every year is increasing gradually. More spaces being needed landfills, uses energy loss of natural resources increase expenditure various types pollutions. Utilizing an add...
