Geotechnical considerations on the design of piled rafts on rock
(
Research Publishing Services
, 2011 , Conference Paper)
This research shows the effect of misestimating the pile spring constant (Kpl) and the modulus of subgrade reaction (Ksg) on design of piled rafts on rock. The high mass stiffness of rock contacting the base of such rafts ...
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 ...
Monitoring of simple linear quality profiles using dEWMA statistic under uncertainty of process deviations
(
IEOM Society
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
The quality of process or product is often characterized by the univariate or multivariate distribution of quality characteristics. The linear profiles are widely used to model the relationship between dependent and ...
Phase-I monitoring of high-dimensional covariance matrix using an adaptive thresholding LASSO rule
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
High-dimensional variability monitoring and diagnosing is of great prominence for the quality improvement and cost reduction. Most of the existing control charts are mainly based on the assumption that the in-control ...
Experimental analysis of water evaporation losses in cooling towers using filters
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Water evaporation losses in cooling towers account for considerable amount of fresh water consumption, which calls for proven and economically viable technologies to address this problem. The use of filters mounted on to ...
Turbulence modeling using Z-F, RSM, LES and WMLES for flow analysis in Z-Shape ducts
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Turbulent flow in Z-shape duct configuration is investigated and analyzed using Reynolds Stress Model (RSM), Large Eddy Simulation (LES), ζ-f Model, and Wall-Modeled Large Eddy Simulation (WMLES). The results are validated ...
Predictors for the adoption of e-democracy: an empirical evaluation based on a citizen-centric approach
(
Emerald Insight
, 2020 , Article)
Purpose: This study aims to explore the factors influencing the intention to use e-democracy. The literature depicted conflicting results regarding such domain and especially in the Middle East, where the authors aim at ...
