Developed by Reliance Industries Ltd., the center will provide a...
In order to obtain stresses and deformations in a geotechnical analysis, finite element analyses require stiffness parameters in addition to the traditional cohesion and friction angle strength parameters used in limit equilibrium safety analyses. The stiffness parameters depend on the...
Some diaphragms, such as concrete slabs, are very stiff compared to the stiffness of the frames; the in-plane deformation of the diaphragm is negligible compared to the horizontal deflections of the frames....
While conventional methods have played an important role in geotechnical analysis, they are often based on assumptions and provide conservative results. Finite element analysis is required for certain analyses....
In this fun experiment, we tried to check if the physical quantity estimation for all the tasks follows Benford's law or not. Surprisingly(not so surprising) we found that the result has some resemblance with Benford's law. Through this exercise, we...
The construction of an embankment on clay can generate excess pore pressure in the clay, causing slope stability problems in the short term. For this reason, it’s important to evaluate the Factor of Safety while considering the clay behavior both...
To enhance international passenger experience and advance the Puget Sound region as a leading tourism and business gateway, the Port of Seattle is building a new, expanded, 450,000-suqare-foot International Arrivals Facility (IAF). The project includes constructing a 345,000-square-foot, three-story grand...
