inclined retaining walls with slopes less than perpendicular are appropriate candidates in several engineering problems. yet, to the knowledge of authors, only a few analytical solution for calculation of active earth pressure on such walls, which will be usually smaller than the same pressure on vertical ones, has been presented neither in research papers nor in design codes. considering limit...

In this study, a limit equilibrium method has been developed that satisfies all conditions of equilibrium and assumes circular slip surfaces. All force and moment equilibrium equations are employed without using simplification assumptions. A non-linear optimization technique is used to solve the system of equations with the corresponding constraints. The proposed method is capable to determine ...

In the paper, several different methods are adopted to control Lü system. With direct feedback method, Lü system can be stabilized at one equilibrium point or a limit cycle surrounding its equilibrium. With adaptive time-delayed feedback method, feedback coefficient and delay time can be adjusted adaptively to stabilize Lü system at its original unstable periodic orbit. With minimal energy meth...
