Abstract Expanded polystyrene (EPS) geofoam is one of the lightweight materials used in civil engineering applications. Present study deals with application retaining wall as a backfill. In this study, two-dimensional finite element software to simulate geofoam. A 6m height considered. Lateral pressures and surface settlements are examined for various orientations Orientations include upper tri...

An effort is made to evaluate the formulation of seismic active earth pressure behind a nonvertical retaining wall supporting c-Ф backfill. The formulation is prepared to get a single critical wedge surface for simultaneous action of weight, surcharge, cohesion and adhesion. The success of any retaining structure involves the awareness of seismic active earth pressure. The effect of various par...

In this paper, the pulsatile flow of blood through an inclined catheterized stenosed artery is analyzed. Perturbation method is used to solve the implicit system of partial differential equations with suitable boundary conditions. Various analytical expressions axial velocity, flow rate, wall shear stress and effective viscosity have been derived with the help of MATLAB for understanding the fl...
