introduction: bridges are certainly one of the most important structures but costly service elements in a transport system. the bridges are very required to access the damaged areas in emergency situations such as floods and earthquakes. scour around the foundations of bridge piers exposed to the flowing water than can destroy the bridge itself is a subject of major concern. flow pattern is kno...

background: pain control during and after surgeries can reduce subsequent complications, improve the recovery period of the patient after the surgery and immediately after discharge from the hospital, and shorten the length of stay in the hospital. objectives: the present research aimed to study the relationship between the depth of anesthesia and severity of pain after general anesthesia. meth...

To study the effects of spudcan penetration on the adjacent foundations of offshore platforms, experiments and numerical simulations (using business software ABAQUS) are carried out. It is shown that the penetration of spudcan can cause the soil layer affected in an annular zone. The affected zone has a maximum width of one times the diameter of the spudcan. The deflection of the platform’s fou...

Severe foundation scour may occur around monopile foundations of offshore wind turbines due to currents and waves. The so-called p-y curves method is suggested in the existing design recommendations to determine the behavior of monopiles unprotected against scour and the reduction of effective soil stress is accounted for by the extreme scour depth. This conservative design approach does not co...

In recent years, Chinese offshore wind farms have experienced varying degrees of foundation scour since their completion. The maximum depth pile foundations has far exceeded the design depth, which seriously threatens safety turbines. Among current prediction formulas, values calculated by specification 65-1, 65-2 formula are small and results on dangerous side. value American Hec-18 is safe bu...

The seasonal temperature and humidity regime of the road foundation in active layer soil largely determines reliability safety automobile use. aim this article is a quantitative assessment influence variation ice content permafrost area on depth thawing. Analytical solutions one-phase flat Stefan problem at varying along coordinate were obtained. solution dimensionless form as Fourier function ...
