Abstract

geosynthetic, reinforced, piled embankment is an effective and economic method to solve the problems of possible bearing failure, unacceptable settlement and slope instability for an embankment built over soft soil this has led to its widespread use, especially for high-speed railway [...]

Abstract

Buried pipelines are the main means of long distance transportation of natural gas. These pipelines are in high risk crossing liquefaction areas due to large deformations and stresses that may exist in pipe induced by the buoyancy load. In this study, a systematic analytical and numerical [...]

Abstract

During the last 20 years computational progress has significantly increased the capacity to determine the behavior of structures under complex loading conditions through finite element models analysis. This [...]

Abstract

The stability of composite material plates is being developed following basically two procedures: finite element analysis (FEA) and mathematical approaches using the energy method. [...]

Abstract

This work presents a semi-analytical approach to calculate rapidly but accurately the buckling onset of metallic and composite circular cylindrical shells with various boundary conditions under in-plane and/or [...]
