This paper presents a parametric study for the pile response and ground movements due to deep excavations supported by stable retaining walls. The coupled behaviour of a single pile subjected to excavation induced ground ...

Critical hydraulic gradient is an essential parameter for determining the factor of safety against piping failure of earthen dams, excavations, etc. Theoretically, the critical hydraulic gradient of a soil is taken as ...

Emerging contaminants (ECs) are attracting considerable attention due to their potential risk to human health and ecosystem. The past decade has seen a renewed importance in microalgae for bioremediating ECs from wastewater. ...

Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne viral disease transmitted to humans through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes, mostly Aedes aegypti. In the Jaffna District, about 200 cases of dengue fever per 100,000 ...

Purpose–Motorcycle is one of the popular modes of transport in developing countries. However,the statistics related to accidents show that motorcycles are the most vulnerable vehicles. Research studieshave revealed that ...

In this paper, we present a curvature based modification to the existing beam element formulation to model cables which undergoes large displacements. The proposed approximation is numerically tested against the P-delta ...

Some ancient constructions over the world exhibit acoustic resonance chambers [1, 7]. Acoustic resonance of Pyramids [1], Stupas [2,6,7], Cathedrals [3,4,12] and Mosques [5] have been studied and they closely resembles the ...

The accuracy of any pavement deformation modelling depends greatly on the traffic characteristics, pavement structural properties and climate conditions. A clear understanding of structural changes of each layer with ...
