Wedge failure analysis of anchored rock slopes subjected to surcharge and seismic loads
… slope against the wedge failure subjected to surcharge and seismic load has not yet been studied in detail in earlier studies. In this thesis, the rock slope subjected to the generalized loads such as surcharge and seismic/dynamic loads is analyzed against the wedge failure by the limit …

The Welfare Implication of Lifting the No Surcharge Rule in Credit Card Markets
… the welfare implications of banning the no surcharge rule (NSR) in credit card markets. Nowadays, Visa and MasterCard have been facing antitrust and regulatory investigations all over the world. They are charged for certain business practices that may adversely affect competition. Among all …

Stability analysis of anchored rock slopes against plane failure subjected to surcharge and seismic loads
… planes. There are several parameters including surcharge and seismic loads that govern the stability of the rock slope against plane failure in field projects. The limit equilibrium approach for the estimation of the factor of safety of the rock slope against plane failure has been well accepted …

How to utilize hedging and a fuel surcharge program to stabilize the cost of fuel
… transportation. It examines the impact of a fuel surcharge and how it distributes risk throughout the supply chain. To complement the research, analysis was conducted in the form of a survey to benchmark the industry with respect to current practices of hedging and fuel surcharges, a sensitivity …

Dynamic Wave Simulation of Unsteady Open Channel and Surcharge Flows in Sewer Networks (saint-Venant Equations, Four-Point Implicit Finite Difference, Storm Sewer Drainage, Urban Hydrology)
… network may change from open-channel flow to surcharge flow. For surcharge flow in a sewer there exist two techniques of mathematical simulation. One is the standard technique which separates surcharge flow from open-channel flow and represents them mathematically by using two different sets …

Impact of risk sharing on competitive bidding in truckload transportation
… was to evaluate whether a shipper's fuel surcharge (FSC) program affected its per-load transportation costs in the United States full-truckload (TL) transportation industry. In this study, we restricted transportation costs to line-haul charges and fuel surcharge premiums. Using ordinary …

Hydrologic and hydraulic modeling of the Lawrence Avenue Underflow Sewer System
… modeled storms. Simulations showed significant surcharge throughout the interceptor system for all the storms. Moreover, surcharge conditions existed in the deep tunnel system during the peak time of two of the simulated storms. Furthermore, the real time regulation of the gate showed to be …

Scale effects in tests on footings
… soil model either under 1-g (gravity) with surcharge or under elevated g in a centrifuge. The 1-g and centrifuge test series were used to study the scale effects on the surcharge term Ng and the self-weight term Nγ of the Terzaghi bearing capacity equation, respectively. Parameters varied …
