Shear strength of geosynthetic composite systems for design of landfill liner and cover slopes
(
Elsevier
, 2011 , Article)
Torsional ring shear tests were performed on composite specimens that simulate the field alignment of municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill liner and cover system components. Simultaneous shearing was provided to each test ...
Settlement of axially loaded piles entirely embedded in rock - analytical and experimental study
(
Taylor and Francis
, 2012 , Article)
Finite element analysis was performed to study the settlement behaviour of axially loaded piles entirely embedded in nonhomogenous rock. The elastic modulus of the rock mass was taken to increase linearly along the pile ...
Two- and three-dimensional analyses of translational slides in soils with nonlinear failure envelopes
(
Canadian Science Publishing
, 2010 , Article)
This paper aims to assess the effect of nonlinearity of the soil shear strength envelope on the sliding mass con-figurations and the minimum two- and three-dimensional factors of safety for slopes susceptible to translational ...
Residual shear strength of fine-grained soils and soil-solid interfaces at low effective normal stresses
(
Canadian Science Publishing
, 2015 , Article)
A laboratory research program was undertaken to study the large-strain shear strength characteristics of fine-grained soils under low effective normal stresses ([1]3-7 kPa). Soils that cover a wide range of plasticity and ...
Fully softened shear strength for soil slope stability analyses
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2017 , Article)
The fully softened shear strengths of soils, mudstones, and shales of different plasticities and gradations were measured at low (10 and 25 kPa), intermediate (50 and 100 kPa), and high (200, 300, and 400 kPa) effective ...
Estimating the elastic settlement of piled foundations on rock
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2015 , Article)
This research introduces a simple method for preliminary evaluation of the elastic settlement of piled foundations resting on rock. Despite a significant number of publications in this area, the present effort is distinguished ...
Bearing Capacity and Settlement of Skirted Shallow Foundations on Sand
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2013 , Article)
The behavior of axially loaded skirted shallow foundations resting on sand was studied using an extensive numerical analysis. Surface, pier, and skirted square foundations resting on sand with different shear strength ...
Space vector vs. sinusoidal carrier-based pulse width modulation for a seven-phase voltage source inverter
(
China Power Supply Society
, 2019 , Article)
The paper presents an extensive comparison between two pulse width modulation (PWM) control schemes, namely carrier-based and space vector based PWM for a seven-phase voltage source inverter. Sinusoidal carrier-based PWM ...
Space vector pulse width modulation control techniques for a five-phase quasi-impedance source inverter
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc
, 2018 , Article)
This study proposes space vector modulation (SVM) techniques for a five-phase quasi-impedance source inverter. Five different SVM methods are elaborated utilising four active neighbouring (from two different lengths group) ...
Implementation and comparison of particle swarm optimization and genetic algorithm techniques in combined economic emission dispatch of an independent power plant
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
This paper presents the optimization of fuel cost, emission of NOX, COX, and SOX gases caused by the generators in a thermal power plant using penalty factor approach. Practical constraints such as generator limits and ...
