Multivision is played by two players who move alternately on a finite number of piles of finitely many tokens. A move consists of selecting a nonempty pile and changing the number of tokens in it. If the change is just any reduction in the number of tokens, we have the well-known game of Nim [1], [2]. In the present case, however, it is also permissible, normally, to increase the size of a pile...

Article history: Received 11 November 2015 Received in revised form 2 December 2015 Accepted 3 December 2015 Available online xxxx Development of more accurate descriptions of dislocation motion requires understanding the actual effective stress driving it. Back stresses from dislocation pile-ups can work against the applied stress resulting in lower stresses acting on moving dislocations. This...

With the development of urban metro systems, shield tunnels that pass through existing bridge pile foundations have become an inevitable engineering problem. Therefore, ensuring stability strata and piles during tunnel construction is a common goal in practice. Currently, research on mechanical responses under different conditions upper-soft lower-hard composite tunneling has not been conducted...

Vibratory installation of piles and casings can be extremely economical and therefore the contractors’ preferred method of pile driving. Compared to impact pile driving it also has the advantage of reduced noise pollution. Unfortunately, this installation method is still fraught with uncertainties. The foremost question is driveability and equally important is the question of bearing capacity o...

Six buildings were overturned in the town of Onagawa during the 2011 Great East Japan tsunami. This study investigates the possible failure mechanisms of building overturning during tsunami flow. The tsunami inundation depth and flow velocity at each overturned building were recalculated by using a tsunami numerical simulation and verified using a recorded video. The overturning moment is a res...

The results of an ongoing FEM parametric study are presented regarding the dependence of the resulting piled raft behavior under lateral load and combination of loads on pile diameter, pile length, arrangement of piles and raft thickness. Taguchi method with Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was employed to calculate the contribution ratio of these factors on the lateral displacement of piled raft. ...

this research examines the behavior of soil-reinforced piles and applied loads based on the analytical method and by using the numerical results of flac3d software for comparison with the analytical results. the analysis was based on a method called virtual retaining wall, the following into consideration: an imaginary retaining wall that passes the footing edge the bearing capacity of footing ...

Many offshore structures are subjected to overturning moments due to wind load, wave pressure, and ship impacts. Also most of retaining walls are subjected to horizontal forces and bending moments, these forces are due to earth pressure. For foundations in such structures, usually a combination of vertical and batter piles is used. Little information is available in the literature about estimat...

The post-grouting technology can effectively improve the bearing capacity and reliability of foundation piles, it is great academic economic significance to evaluate effect post-grouting. However, in general, evaluation slurry on piles still relatively single, most researchers only test improvement characteristics but there are few research results distribution state consolidation range reinfor...

In order to improve the intelligent level of man-machine interaction and auxiliary decision, this paper takes a bridge as engineering background, selects box girder, pier, cap, pile foundation so on carry out parametric modeling. The secondary development process Revit was explored. Based IFC framework, API functions were used expand data dimension Revit. To make health inspection system redund...
