naturally occurred soil deposits inherit heterogeneity and anisotropy in their strength properties. the main purpose of this paper is to model the soil stratum with anisotropy consideration and spatially varying undrained shear strength by using random field theory coupled with finite difference numerical analysis to evaluate their effect on the bearing capacity of the shallow foundations. in t...

in an electrically anisotropic media, current density  is not aligned with the electric field  and varies with the e-field direction. this can be considered as the spatial aliasing effects aroused by the subsurface structures whose individual dimensions are smaller than the inductive length scale of diffusively propagating em fields. the role of these structures is particularly significant in t...

Cohesive-frictional soils are widely used in the construction of embankment structures and due to the method of construction, i.e. applying compactive efforts in the vertical direction in these cases, the occurrence of anisotropy in the soil strength and permeability seems to be inevitable. In this study, attempts have been made to evaluate the shear strength of c-f soils through modifying a l...

thermomechanical control process steel produced by rolling has a significant anisotropy. the elongated grains and inclusions formed during hot rolling of ferrite and low carbon hsla steels directly influence the anisotropy of the steel’s mechanical properties as a result of microstructural anisotropy. the present research deals with this anisotropy, and particular attention has been paid to the...

introduction: there is many ways to assessing the electrical conductivity anisotropy of a tumor. applying the values of tissue electrical conductivity anisotropy is crucial in numerical modeling of the electric and thermal field distribution in electroporation treatments. this study aims to calculate the tissues electrical conductivity anisotropy in patients with sarcoma tumors using diffusion ...

the seismic anisotropy is a subject of interest for seismologists and geologists. the information of seismic anisotropy has significant role in geology interpretations (savage, 1999). in this study, we have investigated the upper crust anisotropy in bam area by means of shear wave splitting sg phase. we have selected more than three hundred aftershocks from iiees local temporary seismic network...
