In such a support system, the internal and external elements are compatible in deformation, but the load bearing capacity of the meshes is very low. The concept of a compatible rock support system is schematically illustrated in Fig. 2. In compatible rock support system, both internal and ...
In other words, the design of the raft foundation was in fact not dictated by the topsoil layer, therefore, the bearing capacity of the topsoil layer has no impact on the design of the raft foundation. Another example would be if a contractor encountered an existing concrete slab 12 inches...
In terms of building design type, we found previously that bungalow style, single-detached properties contained the highest radon, while semi-detached row style and/or multifamily dwellings contained the lowest29,31. Across Canadian community types, we observed noticeable differences in the distribution...
The influence of anthropogenic soils on the design of geotechnical constructions was shown in [29], among other studies. Studies on deformations in retaining structures and retrospective analyses have shown that anthropogenic soils that had initially been classified as low bearing have presented average ...
This study contributes to the increasing field of research on thermal comfort and offers knowledge that is beneficial for the design and optimization of indoor environments. Keywords: radiant heating; mean radiant temperature; wall and ceiling panels; indoor environment; ground source heat pump; ...
