the rock masses in a construction site of underground cavern are generally not continuous, due to the presence of discontinuities, such as bedding, joints, faults, and fractures. the performance of an underground cavern is principally ruled by the mechanical behaviors of the discontinuities in the vicinity of the cavern. during underground excavation, many surrounding rock failures have close r...

Glue joints are more useful in Aerospace so in this article we presented new method for glue joint. In this method the maximum stresses that occurs at the edges of the bottom glue joint and cause ultimate failure in this type of connection is Decrease and increase the glue joint strength. In this method glue in the area overlapping the discrete and separate column considered Also, the connectio...

Patellar tendon moment arm length (PTma) changes at different knee flexion angles have not been determined in invivo studies. We aimed to determine PTma in four different knee angles using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) topredict in vivo changes in the moment arm length from different knee angles during running.PTma was measured as the perpendicular distance from muscle–tend...

this study aims at presenting a numerical model for predicting grout flow and penetration length into the jointed rock mass using universal distinct element code (udec). the numerical model is validated using practical data and analytical method for grouting process. input data for the modeling, including geomechanical parameters along with grout properties, were obtained from a case study. the...

current research, that involves laboratory investigations into the phenomena of solubility, uses circulation equipment that has been developed to study the enlargement of joint aperture. this paper describes the preliminary results of laboratory experiments on ten different length and width of samples, which show that the flow rate through the fissures increases with time as the fissures enlarg...

In this work, the interaction between the semi-circular space and the neighboring joint with and without the presence of rock bolts was investigated using the particle flow code (PFC) approach. For this purpose, firstly, the calibration of PFC was performed using both the Brazilian experimental test and the uniaxial compression test. Secondly, a numerical model with the dimension of 100 m...
