Balloon-type CLT Shearwalls: Lateral Deformation and Kinematic Behaviours
… systems have been increasingly adopted as lateral load-resisting systems in mid-rise timber buildings. Compared with platform-type configurations, balloon-type shearwalls mitigate bearing failure associated with perpendicular-to-grain compression at floor levels, while also reducing …

Lateral Deformation and Associated Settlement Resulting From Embankment Loading of Soft Clay and Silt Deposits
… it was possible to make successful prediction of lateral deformation and associated settlement for embankments on soft clay and silt deposits.

Investigation of Elastic Parameters and Pavement Modeling With Eps Geofoam
… values in models led to unreasonable long term deformation predictions that contradicted with field observations. Tests on small samples are prone to edge effects. Edge effects in turn result in underestimation of input elastic parameters. Alternative tests and sensing systems were utilized in …

The Effects of Backfilling on Ground Control and Recovery in Thin-Seam Coal Mining
… additional ground support by restricting lateral deformation of surrounding coal pillars and roof. This additional support can result in significant increases in recovery from thin-seam coal deposits. However, the overall feasibility of backfill is dependent on the in situ behavior of the …

Enhanced Anisotropic Bounding Surface Model: Implementation and Simulation of Excavation in Soft Cohesive Soils
… for simulating deep excavation induced ground deformations. The first phase of this research illustrates efforts in integrating the enhanced anisotropic bounding surface model into finite element analysis (FEA) software. The implementations are validated against undrained isotropic and …

Comparison of Finite Element Methods and Satellite InSAR for Monitoring Deformations of a Large Tailings Dam
… This site has a well-documented history of lateral deformations in a critical section (XVIE) of the East dam that have been attributed to a deep-seated translation mechanism of shearing through the underlying Pliocene, glacial clays. Since 2014, operators of the facility have constructed a …

Analyis [sic] and design of drilled shafts in rock
… transfer heavy structural loads (both axial and lateral) through the overburden soil to the underlying rock mass. It is important to consider the effect of discontinuities when designing drilled shafts in rock. This thesis develops (1) a new design method for axially loaded rock-socketed shafts; …

Enhancing the engineering properties of expansive soil using bagasse ash, bagasse fibre and hydrated lime
… drying and wetting cycles, causing significant deformations. Frequent soil movements can generate cracks and damage residential buildings, roads, and other civil structures directly placed on this type of problematic soil. Many efforts have been applied in practice to overcome the adverse …

Collapse simulations of steel buildings under fire
… by twist of the entire structure accompanied by lateral deformation in the case of a corner compartment fire and progressive vertical displacement of the entire system in the case of the whole first floor fire. The simulation results of this study show that structural response of steel buildings …

Some problems in hot rolling of al-alloys solved by the finite element method
… roll torque, computing temperature changes and lateral deformation, simulating the evolution of substructure, modelling static recrystallisation and designing the rolling pass schedule. A practical pass schedule supplied by an aluminium company and containing reliable measured data of roll load …

Torsional Ground Motion Effects on the Seismic Response of Continuous Box-girder Highway Bridges
… particularly vulnerable to seismically-induced deformations and forces due to their complex dynamic characteristics. Therefore, many studies have been conducted to provide insight into their seismic response characteristics under various types of ground motions. Undoubtedly, investigations …

Lateral response of stiff column-supported shallow foundations
The mechanisms that control the lateral response of stiff column-supported shallow foundations, resulting from the application of horizontal load on shallow foundations supported by stiff columns, are uncertain. Stiff columns constructed in soft clayey soil have been used to support retaining walls …
