Heyelanlar doğal afet sayılarının türlerine göre dağılımı dikkate alındığında %45 ile en sık karşılaşılan doğa olaylarıdır. Heyelan çözüm projelerinin yapılabilmesi için heyelan sırasında kayma düzleminde oluşan rezidüel dayanımı parametrelerinin gerçeğe yakın şekilde tahmin edilmesi gerekir. Söz konusu parametreler, tekrarlı direkt kesme ve halka deneyleri yapılarak tayin edilebildiği gibi, ge...

We study the effect of particle cohesion on the steady state shear strength of a granular material. For cohesive powders, the steady state shear loci (termination loci) from DEM simulations are nonlinear with a peculiar pressure dependence due to the non-linear increase of contact adhesion with pressure in the contact model. Physical experiments are carried out on fine limestone powder in the d...

visceral leishmaniasis (vl) is one of the most important parasitic diseases which is endemic in different parts of iran. serological studies were conducted by direct agglutination test (dat) on 12144 human serum samples, collected from four geographical zones of iran. sero prevalence, geographical distribution, clinical signs and symptoms for human visceral leishmaniasis based on dat for the pe...

subgrade soil stabilization is one of the primary and major processes in the construction of any highway; also environmental authorities are concerned about the growing amount of polyethylene (pet) bottles produced by household sectors. this research in order to study effect of adding recycled polyester fiber on soil engineering properties, especially shear strength and california bearing ratio...

The prediction quality of discrete element method (DEM) models for railway ballast can be expected to depend on three points: the geometry representation of the single particles, the used contact models and the parametrisation using principal experiments. This works aims at a balanced approach, where none of the points is addressed with excessive depth. In a first step, a simple geometry repres...
