The Jackson Lake Dam was constructed in 1917 in the Grand Teton National Park near Jackson, Wyoming. The dam was a hydraulic fill placed on a natural alluvium and outwash foundation. The Bureau of Reclamation (Burec) determined that the dam and its foundation would be susceptible to liquefaction and failure during a potential earthquake; a series of contracts was let to remove and replace the d...

After the issuance of Foundation Law, every that existed before Law was required to adjust its Articles Association with provisions Law. If not, there will be legal implications for Foundation, or in other words, is legally weak which also have an impact on assets/wealth Foundation. Moving from results observations, service team found problems asset status/wealth caused by less than optimal man...

Mathematics is a system for representing and reasoning about quantities, with arithmetic as its foundation. Its deep interest for our understanding of the psychological foundations of scientific thought comes from what Eugene Wigner called the unreasonable efficacy of mathematics in the natural sciences. From a formalist perspective, arithmetic is a symbolic game, like tic-tac-toe. Its rules ar...

Early deterioration of reinforced concrete foundations has been often reported in recent years. This process is usually characterized by an extensive mapping cracking on surfaces that results from several types Internal Swelling Reaction (ISR). In this paper, a real case study tall building with severe installed its deep discussed. Laboratory tests were performed drilled cores extracted pile ca...

In this work, the distinct lattice spring model (DLSM) is further developed for handling practical geotechnical problems. The Zienkiewicz-Pande (ZP) constitutive implemented into DLSM a better prediction of soil plasticity. beam finite element introduced to simulate supporting structures. birth–death particle method multistage construction. accuracy and stability enriched are verified against b...

The focus of this invited paper is on the comparison of different foundation concepts for three case histories of European significance. The stadium in the Austrian city of Klagenfurt was designed and built for EURO 2008 (Austria and Switzerland) in slightly consolidated soft lacustrine clays. The shallow foundation rests on floating stone columns installed using the vibro replacement technique...
