Case ReportOpen accessEvery word in the titleGully Morphological Assessment and Anthropogenic Determinants in Urban and Rural Settlements of Upper Imo River Basin (UIRB) South Eastern NigeriaNnamdi Christian ChiboGully erosion have been proven to vary both in terms of size and number in urban and rural settlements and is caused by factors related to both human and natural phenomenon. This study assessed the gully morphological development in an urban and rural settlement with the view of finding the settlement that is more vulnerable to gully erosion development. It … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 6 · 19 Dec 2022 · 5,953 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleField Data Based Method for Predicting Long-Term SettlementsJianping Jiang, Qingsheng Chen, Sanjay NimbalkarThe estimation of the long-term foundation settlement in soft soil is very complex, which is attributed to a number of uncertainties associated with various factors, such as: (i) The compressibility parameters obtained in the laboratory from samples of relatively small size that are more homogeneous compared to heterogeneous field sediments in which various soil types may be interlayered at random … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 22 Feb 2016 · 8,255 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOptimized Vehicle Insurance Claim and Settlement Procedures Using IOT Sensors on a Blockchain-Based PlatformPreeti Sharma, Meenakshi Malik, Chander Prabha et al.The conventional vehicle insurance claim and settlement landscape is characterised by significant inefficiencies, including cumbersome claim submissions, arbitrary damage assessments, and susceptibility to fraudulent activities. These problems lead to a longer processing time, higher operational cost to the insurers and a reduction in policyholder satisfaction. To address these important challenges, this study proposes a streamlined vehicle insurance claims system that … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 26 Mar 2026 · 1,640 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEstimation of Earthquake-Induced Crest Settlements of EmbankmentsRaghvendra Singh, Debasis RoyProblem statement: Freeboard requirement, a major consideration in the design of embankment dams, is controlled to a great extent by the crest settlements during earthquakes. Approach: The parameters that influence earthquake induced crest settlement had been studied using 152 published case histories on performance of embankment dams during earthquakes. Results: Based on the results a correlation had been proposed for … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,030 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the keywordsSimulation of Stone Column Ground Improvement (Comparison between Axisymmetric and Plane Strain)Maryam Gaber, Anuar Kasa, Norinah Abdul-Rahman, Jamal AlsharefMost of the numerical studies on stone columns are based on the unit cell concept. However, the impact of interactions between adjacent columns and between the columns and the surrounding soil has not been investigated thoroughly. In this study, the finite element software, PLAXIS-2D-V8.2, was used to simulate a stone column as a unit cell and as a plane strain … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 16 Jan 2018 · 8,157 accessesView PDFCite
