The main board is a grid with vertical and horizontal (and one diagonal) street, between which blocks of buildings will be constructed. At the start of each turn, players will have 2 tokens representing low, medium, and/or high class citizens. They will place them on a single empty ...
The pile is loaded laterally with a bending moment owing to the load eccentricity. To identify the contribution of all the resistance components to the lateral bearing capacity, the lateral bearing capacities of piles should be investigated with different slenderness ratios and combinations of partial ...
Nevertheless, it can be assumed that the load does not change during the carrying process. Based on the inverse dynamic analysis of the robot arm and boom cylinders, the initial value of the equivalent mass can be obtained through system identification39. Subsequently, relatively accurate initial ...

The popular hyperbolic p-y curve method is adopted to reflect the nonlinear response of laterally loaded piles as the following: 𝑝=𝑦/(𝑦/𝑝u+1/𝐾i)p=y/y/pu+1/Ki (1) where 𝑝upu is the ultimate lateral load per unit length, and 𝐾iKi is the initial stiffness. (3) ...
Moreover, the passive wedge develops along the depth as the load increases to form a larger wedge failure body, as shown in Figure 10, where φ is the angle between the sliding surface and the vertical plane. Under undrained conditions, the angle (φ) is suggested to be 45◦ by Reese...
