Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRiver Embankment and Bank Failure: A Study on Geotechnical Characteristics and Stability AnalysisMd. Bellal Hossain, Toshinori Sakai, Md. Zakaria HossainProblem statement: Embankment failure and riverbank erosion are common problem in Bangladesh. Almost every year earthen embankments and riverbanks are facing problems like erosion, breaching or retirements. Among many reasons the major causes are considered due to the use of geotechnically unstable materials, improper method of construction, seepage and sliding. In this study the problem is considered geotechnical point of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 26 May 2011 · 11,002 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRock Slopes Failure Susceptibility Analysis: From Remote Sensing Measurements to Geographic Information System Raster ModulesFilipello Andrea, Giuliani Andrea, Mandrone GiuseppeProblem statement: Two important step can be recognised in the rockfall analysis: the potential failure detection and the run out simulation. Analyzing the stability of rock slopes, most important kinematisms are planar or wedge slidings and topplings. The aim of this study was to coupling a deterministic approach for landslide initiation (potential rockfall source areas) with a runout analysis by … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,619 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEarthquake Resistant Design of Reinforced Soil Structures Using Pseudo Static MethodB. Munwar Basha, G.L. Sivakumar BabuProblem statement: This study presented a method to evaluate the internal stability of reinforced soil structures against tension and pullout modes of failure using pseudo-static method for earthquake conditions. Approach: Using limit equilibrium method and assuming the failure surface to be logarithmic spiral, analysis was conducted to maintain internal stability against both tensile and pullout failure of the reinforcements. For … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,572 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeo-Seismic Environmental Aspects Affecting Tailings Dams FailuresJuan M. Mayoral, Miguel P. RomoSeismic performance evaluations of tailings dams are essential for characterizing the geo-environmental risks posed by these earthen structures, which should include the geotechnical hazards implied by slope instability failure, free board loss and the potential release of contaminants. The observed damage is more important when liquefaction occurs on the dam body and foundation, which often leads to cracking, settlements, tilting … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,086 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStability Analysis and Stability Chart for Unsaturated Residual Soil SlopeBujang B.K. Huat, Faisal Hj. Ali, R. S.K. RajooIn tropical residual soils most hill slope failures are caused by rainfall. It is therefore important to consider dynamic hydrological conditions when attempting to analyze the stability of residual soil slopes. This paper describes a coupled hydrology/stability model that has been developed to overcome the limitations of the standard method of analysis used to investigate stability of tropical soil slopes. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,325 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordBIFURCATION ANALYSIS OF EQUILIBRIUM POINT IN TWO NODE POWER SYSTEMHalima Aloui, Faouzi Bacha, Moncef GasmiThis study presents a study of bifurcation in a dynamic power system model. It becomes one of the major precautions for electricity suppliers and these systems must maintain a steady state in the neighborhood of the operating points. We study in this study the dynamic stability of two node power systems theory and the stability of limit cycles emerging from … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 29 Jan 2014 · 7,055 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordComputation of the Locations of the Libration Points in the Relativistic Restricted Three-Body ProblemS.E. Abd El-Bar, F.A. Abd El-SalamProblem statement: In this study, the effects of Relativistic Restricted three-Body Problem (in brief RRTBP) on the equilibrium points of both triangular and collinear is considered. The approximate locations of the collinear and triangular points are determined. Series expansions are used to develope in µ and 1/c2 as small parameters. To check the validity of our solution, when ignoring 1/c2 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 29 Feb 2012 · 7,039 accessesView PDFCite
