Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleSemi-Probabilistic Calibration of a Partial Material Safety Factor for Structural Silicone Adhesives - Part I: DerivationMichael Drass, Michael A. KrausThis paper deals with the application of the semi-probabilistic design concept (level I) of Eurocode 0 in order to calibrate partial safety factors for structural silicone sealants. In the first part of this article the current legal situation for the application of structural sealants in façades is described, where a new Eurocode-conform design concept is introduced and compared to existing … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 2 Mar 2020 · 11,122 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleSemi-Probabilistic Calibration of a Partial Material Safety Factor for Structural Silicone Adhesives - Part II: Verification ConceptMichael A. Kraus, Michael DrassThis paper deals with the application of the semi-probabilistic design concept (level I) to structural silicone sealants where a generally valid verification concept is proposed. The verification concept deals with the classification of silicone adhesive joints into cavitation-insensitive and cavitation-sensitive adhesive joints and at the same time advises which class of material models is necessary for the categorized adhesive joint … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 10 Jan 2020 · 11,275 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Reliability of Routing Protocols as an Important Factor for Road Safety Applications in VANET-based Autonomous CarsAnanto Tri Sasongko, Grafika Jati, Bob Hardian, Wisnu JatmikoThe autonomous cars are considered as a tremendous disruptive innovation in the coming years. They enable a driving automation system to replace human drivers to control the vehicle with better recognition, decision and driving skills and ultimately enhance the road users’ experience and traffic safety. They can communicate with other cars as they are ready with the Vehicle to Vehicle … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 6 · 15 Jun 2020 · 7,425 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEstimate of Safe Angle for Cut Slopes Under Different Geology and Rainfall Intensity in Central NepalPrabin Shrestha, Khomendra Bhandari, Mahendra Acharya et al.This research has been carried out on a cut slope of Kathmandu-Terai Fast Track Road near Koppugaon located at Dakshinkali Municipality, Kathmandu. The cutting of the slope without considering the possible effects of geological parameters of slope material may cause unexpected slope failures which may cause loss of lives and properties. This research deals with the effects of rainfall and … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 26 Nov 2024 · 9,635 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSLOPE STABILITY ANALYSIS OF KALLAR-COONOOR HILL ROAD STRETCH OF THE NILGIRISP. Nalina, T. Meenambal, R. Sathyanarayan SridharThe stability of slopes is always under severe threats in many parts of Western Ghats, especially in Kallar-Coonoor hill road stretch, causing disruption, loss of human life and economy. To minimize the instability of soil slope in between Kallar-Coonoor, a critical evaluation of roads is required. The stability of slopes depends on the soil shear strength parameters such as Cohesion, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 7 · 4 Feb 2014 · 7,406 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsKey Factors in the Face Stability Analysis of Shallow TunnelsDaniel Dias, Pierpaolo OresteStability of the excavation face in shallow tunnels and in poor ground is at present a relevant problem in tunnelling. A new calculation procedure is illustrated in this study for the analysis of the effect on the face stability in shallow tunnels of the following key factors: pre-support structures, presence of groundwater, free length of the tunnel (length of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 24 Aug 2013 · 7,022 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsStability of Rock Pillars with Singular and Persistent DiscontinuitiesPierpaolo OresteProblem statement: The strength of rock pillars in the presence of single, persistent, natural discontinuities can seriously be compromised and lead the pillar to collapse because of instability along the discontinuity itself. Approach: A specific analysis method for this kind of problem has been set up in this study to evaluate the stability of pillars and to determine the dimension … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 14 Jul 2012 · 6,755 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRiver 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 · 11,007 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEarthquake 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.
