The Shillong Plateau (northeastern India) constitutes the only significant topography in the Himalayan foreland. Knowledge of its surface uplift history is key to understanding topographic development and unraveling tectonic–climate–topographic coupling in the eastern Himalaya. We use the sedimentary record of the Himalayan foreland basin north of the Shillong Plateau to show that the paleoBrah...

Terrain generation finds many applications such as in CGI movies, animations and video games. This paper describes a new and simple-to-implement terrain generator called the Uplift Model. It is based on the theory of crustal deformations by uplifts in Geology. When a number of uplifts are made on the Earth’s surface, the final net effect is an average of the influence of each uplift at each poi...

Joints, which are usually located in the abutments of dams, play a vital role seismic stability evaluation arch dams. This paper presents comprehensive numerical investigation influence uplift pressure joints on response an dam, with focus interaction between dam and rock wedges. For this study, Bakhtiari having one wedge at each abutment, was chosen as case three distinct finite element models...

Rolling-based seismic isolation systems, in which rollers of circular or non-circular section are used, are less expensive and easier to manufacture. However, this type of isolation suffers from either lack of restoring or re-centering capability, or weakness against uplift forces. To resolve the first shortcoming the use of elliptical as well as pillow-shape rolling parts has been suggested, a...

Abstract This paper adopts the key technology “tunnel and underground space support components”, assembles it into a “honeycomb” structure type, expands its application to deep foundation pit engineering, which fully reflects combination of “industry-university-research” theoretical research engineering practical application. can optimize setting lateral components in process, improve current c...

Plate anchors are one of the most common types ground used in foundation systems, as they transfer loads from to soil prevent overturning and overcome forces that could threaten integrity structure. The present work concerns study combined effects among behavior anchor plate sandy with without water presence a static state at different head level (h=15, 30, 40 cm) above base for two states impr...

Uplift models provide a solution to the problem of isolating marketing effect campaign. For customer churn reduction, uplift are used identify customers who likely respond positively retention activity, only if targeted, and avoid wasting resources on that very switch another company. In practice, performance is measured by Qini coefficient. We introduce Qini-based regression model analyze larg...
