Volume 31, Issue 19 , November 2013, Page 44-58
Abstract
Transient response and vibrations of an elastic plate resting on sandy soil are presented. Plates are commonly used structural elements and are subjected to wide variety of static and ... Read More ...Effect of Loading Duration on the Parameters Obtained from Consolidation Test
Volume 31, Issue 19 , November 2013, Page 59-69
Abstract
Consolidation properties of clay soils are evaluated in the laboratory using the one-dimensional consolidation test. The one-dimensional consolidation testing procedure was first suggested ... Read More ...Characteristics of 2-D Electrical Resistivity Imaging Survey for Soil
Volume 31, Issue 19 , November 2013, Page 70-89
Abstract
The present work is aimed to show the efficiency of 2-D Electrical Resistivity Imaging (ERI) in probing the subsurface soil for site investigation, in addition to highlight some capabilities ... Read More ...A Study of the Behavior of Shell Footings using Finite Element Analysis
Volume 31, Issue 19 , November 2013, Page 90-102
Abstract
In this research, the conical shell foundation is investigated. The two components of the interacting system; the soil and the shell foundation, are modelled using the finite element ...
