In underground mining, the design of rock pillars is crucial importance as these are structures that allow safe mining by maintaining stability surrounding excavations. Pillar often a complex task, it involves estimating loads at depths and strength mass fabric, which depend on intact shape pillar in terms aspect ratio (width/height). The also depends number, persistence, orientation, discontin...

Stone column replacement of soft soil foundation construction method is more and used in water conservancy projects. On the one hand, stone has high permeability, which enhances dissipation capacity excess pore pressure; on other it a stiffness, reduces additional stress soil, therefore pressure. These two mechanisms work together to improve bearing soil. In previous plane strain transformation...

The dynamic response of individual components in an assembled structure shows high accuracy compared to experimental measurements the system response. However, when it comes assemblies, conventional linear approaches fail deliver good accuracy, due uncertain and nonlinear mechanisms contact interface joints. Therefore, inherent dynamics interfaces needs be considered modeling structures. In thi...
