With the construction of supertall buildings such as high earth dams, linear envelope Mohr-Coulomb (M-C) failure criterion fitted to lower confined pressure would significantly underestimate loading capacity foundations, causing a huge increase in amount earthwork. Given that M-C has dominated stability analysis geotechnical structures, it is proposed this study remain invariant form but cohesi...

conclusions parametric models may provide complementary data for clinicians and researchers about how risks vary over time. the weibull model seemed to show the best fit among the parametric models of the survival of hemodialysis patients. results the results of a multivariate analysis of the variables in the parametric models showed that the mean serum albumin and the clinic attended were the ...

superplastic materials show a very high ductility. this is due to both peculiar process conditions and material intrinsic characteristics. however, a number of superplastic materials are subjected to cavitation during superplastic deformation. evidently, extensive cavitation imposes significant limitations on their commercial application. the deformation and failure of superplastic sheet metals...
