In this study, shaking table tests are performed to investigate the behavior of excess pore water pressure in different soft soil-foundations of soil-structure interaction (SSI) system. The variation of the behaviors under cycled minor shock is observed. Moreover, The generation and variation mechanism of excess pore water pressure under earthquake excitation in different soft soilfoundations a...

In the present work, the effect of Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) in low frequency structures resting on loose soil, through numerical modelling and shaking table tests have been studied. In theoretical studies two types of models namely fixed base and flexible base structure were subjected to three selected earthquake records. Nonlinear dynamic analysis was employed for all of the numerical ...

Production of California table olives has declined significantly in recent years due to hand harvesting costs, often over 60% gross return. Mechanical could sharply decrease harvest increasing economic viability. harvester efficiency is a combination the percentage total fruit on tree removed by harvester, and time required do so. A comparison between an experimental canopy contact shaker comme...
