Evaluation of seismic mitigation of embankment model
Journal Title: Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale - Year 2009, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
Conducting experiment on embankment model by shaking table could be an accurate method to evaluate the behavior of embankment or any structures under seismic loading. In this research work, in order to assess the function of seismic force and accurate placement of dense zone in the embankment model, the results of three experiments have been considered. To evaluate the reaction of the embankment model, it was measured the stress in the system and photographs were taken. The results of three experiments indicated that suitable arrangement of dense zone is the main factor at the play in embankment stability, and in predicting the possibility of embankment behavior

Cf/C composites: correlation between CVI process parameters and Pyrolytic Carbon microstructure
Chemical Vapour Infiltration (CVI) technique has been long used to produce carbon/carbon composites. The Pyrolytic Carbon (Py-C) matrix infiltrated by CVI could have different microstructures, i.e. Rough Laminar...
Experimental estimation of the heat energy dissipated in a volume surrounding the tip of a fatigue crack
Fatigue crack initiation and propagation involve plastic strains that require some work to be done on the material. Most of this irreversible energy is dissipated as heat and consequently the material temperature&...
