We used this approach on the morphological properties of a Quaternary soil chronosequence from the fluvial terraces of the River Guadalquivir (Southern Spain) between the towns of And煤jar and Villanueva de la Reina. The study comprised five pedons and 35 horizons (including the parent material ...
Calculation results are compared with those obtained from the laboratory soil tests in order to examine the validity of the previous model. Then, we perform some improvements of the previous model based on hydro-mechanical properties, and propose a new parameter, named "parallel translation index (...
Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) play a crucial role in the regional climate models, as they influence various physical processes interconnected with energy,
Under these statements, an option to improve the strength and mechanical properties of soil is to introduce a geogrid as a reinforcement surface element. However, there are few investigations about the improvement of the geogrids in karst terrains or investigations of preventing road settlement problem...
The current research directions focus on promoting sustainable development, which is understood as reducing the broadly understood carbon emissions while ensuring the required effect of soil reinforcement and reliability of the implemented design solution. One of the core aims of this research is to ...
Analysis of soil structural and transfer properties using pore scale images and numerical modellingP Ortega
Overall, 9 typologies of walls with regular geometry were modeled by the FE method. The walls represent the typical façades of existing masonry buildings in old towns, hence a brick masonry with poor mechanical properties was considered. The walls differ in the span-to-height ratio b/h of ...
The effects of blast ground motion spatial variations and soil鈥搒tructure interaction on structural responses are also studied. A suitable discrete model that gives accurate response prediction is determined. A damage index defined based on the accumulated plastic hinge rotation is used to predict ...
Because the mechanical properties of minerals in rock are different, the respective microscopic parameters should be assigned to the different minerals. Based on the aforementioned particle color codes, the different minerals could be identified and assigned the appropriate parameters. Symmetry 2019, 11,...
