Cone penetration tests (CPTs) can provide highly accurate and detailed information characteristics relevant to the stiffness, strength, consolidation of tested geomaterials, but they do not directly recover real soil samples. Thus, when CPT results are applied classification, experience-based classification charts or tables generally used. However, such have inherent drawback being derived from...

The cone penetration test-based simplified liquefaction triggering evaluations are largely based on linking manifestations in the field to resistance. These relationships interpreted such a way that for given resistance, resistance increases as non-plastic fines content (FC) increases. However, several studies have indicated discrepancies this relationship. Hence, there is lag rational scientif...

BACKGROUND Attention deficits are common post stroke and result in poorer functional outcomes. This study examined the frequency of attention deficits after incident stroke and their correlates. METHOD Attention of 94 stroke survivors was assessed using the Bells test, Trails Making Test A/B, 2.4- and 2.0-second trials of the Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT), and Integrated Auditor...

In this paper, the discrete element method (DEM) is coupled with Lattice Boltzmann (LBM) to model cone penetration test (CPT) of a saturated granular media. The numerical was calibrated using one-dimensional (1D) consolidation theory. results obtained from 1D simulation showed good agreement analytical equation that proposed by Terzaghi. A series LBM–DEM simulations were carried out understand ...

In ad 1362, a major storm surge drowned wide areas of cultivated medieval marshland along the north-western coast Germany and turned them into tidal flats. This study presents new methodological approach for reconstruction changing coastal landscapes developed from site in Wadden Sea North Frisia. Initially, we deciphered long-term as well event-related short-term geomorphological changes, usin...

The move to the cloud brings a number of new security challenges, but the application remains your last line of defense. Engineers are extremely well poised to perform tasks critical for securing the application—provided that certain key obstacles are overcome. Cloud Shifts the Burden of Security to Development

Penetration testing entails attacking a system to identify and report insecurity, but doing so without harming the system nor encroaching on the dignity of those affected by it. To improve the interaction between penetration testers and their processes and technology, we need to understand the factors that affect decisions they make with ethical import. This paper presents four ethical hazards ...

The bearing capacity of screw cast in situ displacement piles is mostly unexplored. There also insufficient research on silty soils. Therefore, five cone penetration tests (CPT) and one piezocone test (CPTu) using direct methods were utilised to determine the load-bearing four Estonia. In addition CPT sounding data, static-dynamic (SDT) results used analyse load-beating piles. Both deterministi...
