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 ...
An upper bound to self-dealing would also signal against vertical reintegration through power purchase agreements, while allowing an agent to invest both in distribution and in generation. Nevertheless, inconsistent signals were emitted by the government on self-dealing within the economic groups taking...
Figure 5. Test components layout. 2.4. Loading Scheme In order to analyze the dynamic response of the slope reinforced by anti-slide piles with different levels of initial damage, the 5 Hz sine wave is used as the applied dynamic load, and its peak acceleration increases gradually from 0.1...
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...
