in this research a numerical analysis using plaxis program has been carried out to investigate the behavior of buried concrete box culverts different parameters including load types, loading locations, culvert dimensions, underlying soil specifications, and the coefficient of earth pressure- at- rest. for modeling purpose, patch loading of rtuck or military tank has been substituted to an equiv...

Abstract The dynamic response of the retaining structures is a complex issue, and major challenge in their design, especially under seismic loading conditions. So reliable efficient solution following computational approach, closer to reality, required obtain satisfactory results. Hence, this study came clarify effectiveness PLAXIS 3D program predicting performance, accuracy, reliability walls....

This study aims to identify the impacts of one-strut failure (OSF) during deep excavation in loose medium-dense sand with respect strut loads and wall deflections. The finite element software PLAXIS was used carry out both 2D 3D analyses. In addition, as two-dimensional (2D) analysis is commonly applied engineering practice due limited budget time, reasonable transferring results obtained using...

At present, there are still some gaps in the theoretical calculation of permanent displacement multi-stage loess slope under action earthquake. Therefore, this paper firstly uses GEO-Studio finite element software to explore influence comprehensive rate on when each grade changes and stage changes. The results show that it is feasible use calculate sliding body On basis conclusion, order simpli...

Abstract At the beginning of 16th century, original inhabitants Čachtice built a large complex tunnels and cellars under village, today called underground. The underground protected people from war conflicts, most recently during World War II, as anti-aircraft shelters. Over time, lost its significance. corridors were walled up, covered with rubble, collapsed due to construction work. Later, pa...

This study aims to suggest a technique for soil properties improvement of AL- Kadhimin shrine Minaret and support the foundation, which has tilt roughly 80 cm from vertical axis. The is made up four minarets with two domes set in large courtyard. have skewed varying degrees due uncontrolled dewatering inside recent years. However, northeast minaret was most inclined its proximity well placed Wh...

This research evaluated four SPT-based design equations used to estimate the carrying capacity of shallow footing. Using different methods, two plate load tests performed on silty clay and soil in Nasiriyah have been obtain ultimate load-carrying capacity. Further, this study aims utilize finite element method based Plaxis 3D foundation software simulate behavior settlement with actual dimensio...
