49, respectively. Their equivalent velocities are 40 ± 6 ms−1and 36 ± 6 ms−1using a minimum shear flow density of 2.7 kgm−3. Further downslope, PYFLOW_2.0
Only the part near the contact area of the ski base and the snow grain was used for the contact calculation (Fig. 3). The base of the block was fixed to the ground; the sidewalls were allowed to move vertically. In Comsol, the contact was defined as a ’contact pair’. Two ...
aReinforced concrete (RC) structures designed according to present building codes as moment resisting space frames, shear-walls, coupled shear-walls or any combination thereof to withstand strong earthquake motions are expected to deform well into the inelastic range and dissipate the energy input by ...

steady states. Our results are validated by the numerical solution of the Boltzmann kinetic equation for the granu- lar gas obtained by the direct simulation Monte Carlo method. We discuss the physical origin of the new steady states and derive conditions for the validity of Navier-Stokes ...
Terzaghi's equation for base stability can be used to evaluate the three-dimensional base stability of rectangular excavations after modification.doi:10.1016/j.compgeo.2004.02.005Hamdy FaheemDepartment of Civil EngineeringFei CaiKeizo UgaiComputers and Geotechnics...
Empirical equation for natural periods is derived from the seismic code recommendation on that of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings but removing the bias contributed from the height shorter than one storey while using the experimental results. Distribution of the base shear along the height follows ...
Numerical results indicate that the base stability of excavations was significantly influenced by the following factors: (1) the depth to width ratio, (2) the thickness of the soft soil layer between the excavation base and the hard stratum, (3) the depth of walls inserted below the ...
