The method of Zero Extension Lines (ZEL) has been used to evaluate the static and seismic active lateral earth pressure on an inclined wall retaining inclined c-f backfill. The equilibrium equations along the Zero Extension ...

In this article, transverse vibration of an Euler-Bernoulli beam carrying a series of traveling masses is analyzed. A semi-analytical approach based on eigenfunction expansion method is employed to achieve the dynamic ...

In this paper, the approximate analytical solutions of Camassa-Holm, modi ed Camassa-Holm, and Degasperis-Procesi equations with fractional time derivative are obtained with the help of approximate analytical method of ...

In most construction projects, human resources account for 30 to 50 percent of all project costs, thus it is an important cost element in construction projects. However, the complexities and uncertainty of work ow have ...

In this paper, optimal design and assessment of the capability of tuned mass dampers (TMDs) in improving the seismic behavior of confined masonry walls as the main element of historical buildings has been studied. For this ...

This research introduces an approach to predict maximum scour depth, scour hole length, and the length of the deepest point of the scour hole at equilibrium conditions at downstream of stilling basins by using the GEP. ...

During recent years, processed used tires such as tire shreds, tire chips, tire bu ngs, and tire crumbs have been applied in order to improve the mechanical properties of soil mixtures. Finding more bene cial ways of using ...

RC beams strengthened by external bonded FRP reinforcement often fails by one of several possible debonding modes. Although many experimental studies have been performed to assess the flexural behavior and failure modes ...

One of the important factors a ecting the quality of concrete is the placement of fresh concrete inside the formwork. Inadequate compaction is a common problem in concrete technology. In this study, the e ect of inadequate ...

This paper describes a methodology to develop the interface between a finite element software and optimization algorithm for optimization of concrete high arch dams. The objective function is the volume of the dam. The ...

This paper aims to investigate the likely effects of geogrid reinforcement configuration on footings bearing capacity. Using geogrids reinforcement layers with certain total areas in various uniform and non-uniform ...

Imputation of missing data is a critical part of accurate data analysis and modeling. This paper presents 3D imputation as a new data-driven methodology to estimate missing values in time series data. The method is based ...

To support evaluation and selection processes in engineering, formal decision making methods can be used. A great number of works applying diverse multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) techniques for engineering problems ...

Retaining walls are one of the most common geotechnical structures. Horizontal displacement at the top of the retaining wall is an important parameter in design of retaining structures because of serviceability of the wall ...
