Modelling the effect of sediment coarseness on local scour at wide bridge piers [PDF]

, 2017
Experimental data from a physical model of scouring around a cylindrical wide pier embedded in two types of uniform sediment beds are presented. The effects of sediment sizes and various pier widths on scour development and equilibrium scour depth of ...

Bridge-Pier Caisson foundations subjected to normal and thrust faulting:physical experiments versus numerical analysis [PDF]

, 2015
Surface fault ruptures can inflict serious damage to engineering structures built on or near them. In the earthquakes of Kocaeli, Chi-chi, and Wenchuan a number of bridges were crossed by the emerging normal or thrust faults suffering various degrees of ...

The Non‐Professional Virtues of the Hospice Volunteer

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Volunteers have long played a significant role in hospice care. Much of the care volunteers provide consists of weekly hour‐long in‐home visits. Home‐visiting hospice volunteers are not professionals, nor are they strangers or intimates. Hospice volunteers will not typically face moral dilemmas, nor be called upon to make dramatic decisions ...

Blue‐Prints for Ocean Governance: Analyzing Resource Sustainability in International Blue Economic Frameworks

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Championed as a pathway for sustainable growth, the “blue economy” (BE) has garnered increasing interest in recent decades. International organizations like the World Bank and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) increasingly point to marine resources and activities as a “new frontier” for economic growth ...

Local scour at group of bridge piers founded in gravel bed in staggered arrangement

Results in Engineering
Local scour around bridge piers is the common cause of undermining of bridge foundation. Many researchers have studied local scour around bridge pier in finer sediment bed.

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Feasibility Study of Using Engineered Cementitious Composite and High-Strength Bars in Rigid Bridge Piers Based on Seismic Vulnerability Analysis

Shock and Vibration, 2020
The main function of pier is to transmit the load from superstructure to foundation reliably. Under earthquake action, the main failure reason of bridge is the damage of bridge pier.

Dynamic analysis of debris flow impact on double-column bridge piers based on SPH-FEM coupling

Shenzhen Daxue xuebao. Ligong ban
Based on the smoothed particle hydrodynamics-finite element method (SPH-FEM), a dynamic interaction model of debris flow, comprising both slurry and boulders as well as impacting a double-column bridge pier, is constructed to study the dynamic response ...
