A pile foundation is commonly adopted for transferring superstructure loads into the ground in weaker soil. They diminish settlement of infrastructure and augment soil-bearing capacity. This paper emphases pile-driving effect on an existing adjacent cylindrical semi-tapered pile. Driving a three-dimensional fruitfully accomplished by combining arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (ALE) adaptive mesh e...

OBJECTIVES Favourable results for collarless polished tapered stems have been reported, and cement creep due to taper slip may be a contributing factor. However, the ideal cement thickness around polished stems remains unknown. We investigated the influence of cement thickness on stem subsidence and cement creep. METHODS We cemented six collarless polished tapered (CPT) stems (two stems each ...

A novel compact dielectric loaded Exponentially Tapered Slot (ETS) antenna using Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) technology is presented in this paper for Millimeter (Mm) wave wireless communication applications. The dielectric loaded ETS antenna and compact SIW feed are fabricated on a single substrate. The compact SIW feeding structure results in a considerable reduction in size and elim...
