Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleSoil Structure Interaction between Two Adjacent Buildings under Earthquake LoadMahmoud Yahyai, Masoud Mirtaheri, Mehrab Mahoutian et al.In some cases, tall buildings are located in geotechnically unsuitable places, due to their high ratio of height to width; there is risk of uplift and other effects such as overturning and reduction structure serviceability during earthquake. This research is aimed to evaluate the effect of Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) on seismic behavior of two adjacent 32 story buildings such as … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 9,345 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEarthquake 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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDesign and Performance of EPS Footing for Lightweight Farm Structure on Peat SoilMohammad Abdullah, Bujang B.K. Huat, Rezuwan Kamaruddin et al.The objective of this research project was to find a potential replacement for the conventional pile foundation principally for peat soil. It is fundamentally meant for lightweight and impermanent agricultural farm structures. Preceding the design and development of the foundation the physical characteristics of the in-situ peat such as; peat depth, soil consolidation, soil compressibility, water table, liquid limit, soil … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 7,239 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBacterial Diversity and Community Structure Characteristics in Rhizosphere Soil of Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) under Intercropping PineappleLilan Lu, Hui Zhu, Yingying Liu et al.To explore the bacterial diversity and community structure characteristics of the rhizosphere soil of fruit type coconuts of different varieties under the intercropping pineapple model, the Illumina high throughput sequencing technology was used to detect the composition and diversity of soil microorganisms. Furthermore, the correlation between the physical and chemical properties of soil and the characteristics of the rhizosphere soil … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 16 Feb 2023 · 5,745 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleReliability-Based Earthquake Design of Jacket-Type Offshore Platforms Considering Pile-Soil-Structure InteractionBehrouz Asgarian, Hossein AgheshluiThere are plenty of uncertainties in environmental condition of ocean and also in platform element capacities. Reliability-based method could consider these uncertainties. A reliability-based earthquake design method was used to determine the earthquake LRFD parameters for two conventional, steel, pile-supported (template-type) offshore platforms located in the Persian Gulf. The pile-soil-structure interaction, the buckling and postbuckling behavior of the braces were … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,509 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleProduction of Levan by Bacillus licheniformis for Use as a Soil Sealant in Earthen Manure Storage StructuresAbdel E. Ghaly, F. Arab, N.S. Mahmoud, J. HigginsManure application is not permitted on frozen land in Canada and therefore, manure management and storage are the primary issues facing the agri-food industry. Low-cost, effective and environmentally safe earthen manure storage (EMS) facilities will lower costs and help make the livestock industry more competitive and efficient. The goal of this study was to develop a biological sealing technology for … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,974 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsImpact of Organic Ameliorants on Grey Soil FertilityAsanbay Tagaev, Amandyk Kostakov, Sabir MakhmadzhanovThe study aimed to assess the effectiveness of organic-biological ameliorants for restoring the fertility of light grey soils in the Turkestan region of Kazakhstan, which are characterised by low humus content (0.8-1.1%) and high alkalinity (pH 7.9-8.3). The field experiment was conducted on an area of 2304 m2 using four treatment options: control (variant 1 only mineral fertilisers) and three … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 15 Sep 2026 · 693 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEvaluating the Effect of Soil Particle Characterization on Internal Friction AngleArezou Rasti, Hamid Ranjkesh Adarmanabadi, Maria Pineda, Jesse ReinikainenOne of the critical design parameters used in evaluating soil structure is the friction angle, derived from Mohr's Circle failure criterion. The soil friction angle is an engineering parameter estimated in the laboratory to quantify the soil shear strength in geotechnical applications. This paper indicates an experimental study investigating the impact of particle size on different sandy soils shear strength … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 21 Feb 2021 · 8,890 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsNonlinear Analysis of RC Box Culverts Resting on a Linear Elastic SoilDaniele Baraldi, Fabio Minghini, Enrico Tezzon, Nerio TulliniIn the analyses presented, the soil-structure interaction is accounted for by means of a FE-BIE approach, in which the structure is modelled with displacement-based beam finite elements, whereas the boundary between structure and substrate is described in terms of surface tractions by means of a boundary integral equation incorporating a suitable Green's function. This mixed formulation ensures full continuity between … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 8 Feb 2018 · 12,632 accessesView PDF Cite
