Overturning of No-Tension Towers
… behavior of leaning masonry towers on a rigid foundation. Unreinforced masonry is assumed to be incapable of withstanding tension, thus anticipating a progressive fracturing to occur outside the compressive zone of masonry towers as they incline under the force of self-weight alone. A …

Experiments and Analysis of Water-filled Tubes Used as Temporary Flood Barriers
… considers single and stacked tubes resting on a rigid and deformable foundation resisting rising hydrostatic headwater. Experiments were carried out to determine the behavior of a three-tube stacked configuration resting on a sand foundation. This study was a continuation of previous work on …

Two-Dimensional Vibrations of Inflated Geosynthetic Tubes Resting on a Rigid or Deformable Foundation
… the two internal materials investigated. Three foundation variations are considered: rigid, Winkler, and Pasternak. Mathematica 4.2 was employed to solve the nonlinear equilibrium and dynamic equations, incorporating boundary conditions by use of a shooting method. General assumptions are made …

Evaluating soil pressures on a deep foundation element due to liquefaction-induced lateral spreading
The behavior of bridge foundations during earthquakes includes the inertial response of the foundation and superstructure system, and the kinematic forces induced by the lateral spreading ground. Both must be analyzed in practice to design a bridge foundation, or other foundation type, subject to …

A model analysis of stresses in the wall and floor of a cylindrical steel tank
… wall stresses is justified only in the case of a rigid support, when the fixed-end moment is small. By evaluating the constants of the deflection equation for the wall at any given point, the variation of stress along the wall and the rotation of the base can be determined. It should be noted that …

Vibration Analysis of Single - Anchor Inflatable Dams
… flexible, cylindrical structures anchored to a foundation. They are used for a variety of purposes, e.g. diverting water for irrigation or groundwater recharging, impounding water for recreational purposes, and raising the height of existing dams or spillways. The vibration behavior of such dams …

Two-Dimensional Analysis of Stacked Geosynthetic Tubes
… single and stacked geosynthetic tubes resting on rigid and deformable foundations. A two-dimensional analysis is performed on the cross-section of a very long tube. The program Mathematica is utilized for the analysis. A few assumptions are made regarding the general behavior of the tube. The tube …
