lateral resistance of railway track is one of the most important parameters in lateral stability. this parameterdepends!on the conditions of different components of ballasted railway track (such as density of ballast layer,sleeper spacing, type of sleeper, etc.). from this perspective, type of sleeper has an important effect on lateralresistance. however in some conditions, in technical and eco...

Approximately 75% of installed offshore wind turbines (OWTs) are supported by monopiles, a foundation whose design is dominated by lateral loading. Monopiles are typically designed using the p-y method which models soil-pile resistance using decoupled, nonlinear elastic Winkler springs. Because cyclic soil behavior is difficult to predict, the cyclic py method accounts for cyclic soil-pile inte...

The spatial variation of soil properties with specific reference to their coefficient (COV), and effect on deep foundation designs, is discussed. difficulties in developing strength factors (Φ) for lateral load response governed by multiple resistance variables are examined. Classical current analytical experimental state the art described. Influence amended topsoils shear cohesion also Finally...

Lateral surface/subsurface flow and their connectivity play a significant role in redistributing soil water, which has a direct effect on biological, chemical, and geomorphological processes in the root zone (~1m). However, most of the land surface models neglect the horizontal exchanges of water at the grid or subgrid scales, focusing only on the vertical exchanges of water as one-dimensional ...

Studies of the piles bearing capacity after strengthening soil by cement mortar pressure injection were carried out to determine pile foundations increasing patterns in a result soils cementation. Depending from volume and technological parameters, stress state around changes, additional pile-soil compression occurs friction along lateral surface increase, as well resistance under bottom end. C...

The resistances to liquid water transport in the soil and plant were determined directly and simultaneously from measurements of soil, root, and leaf water potentials and the flux of water through the soil-plant system to the sites of evaporation in the leaf. For soybean (Merr.) transporting water at a steady rate, water potential differences between soil and root were smaller than between root...

A p-y curve method of pile near cohesionless soil slope under reversed lateral load is proposed. This takes into account the failure mode around and interaction between soil, derives ultimate resistance pile. Considering change original stress state due to deflection foundation, influence relative density, initial mean effective foundation on internal friction angle sand evaluated further accur...

The issue of reducing tillage resistance and lowering energy consumption has become increasingly relevant. Strip a positive impact on soil protection reduction. This study analysed the components rotary blades their relationship with operating parameters developed mathematical between (power fuel consumption). We summarised into three parts: air resistance, lateral rotational friction (divided ...
