Effect of Tunnel Progress on the Settlement of Existing Piled Foundation
Studia Geotechnica et Mechanica, 2019 Tunnel construction below or adjacent to piles will affect the performance and eventually the stability of piles due to ground deformation resulting in the movement of piles and changes in the axial force distribution along the piles. A three dimensional

The use of cement leftovers from the hollow of spun piles as an additive in self-compacting concrete [PDF]
, 2018 Spun piles have been used widely by developing countries, including Malaysia, to construct the foundation of most construction projects. A spun pile is a reinforced precast and prestressed concrete that is compacted in a mould through spinning compaction.

Sacrificial Piles as Scour Countermeasures in River Bridges A Numerical Study using FLOW-3D
, 2020 Scour is defined as the erosive action of flowing water, as well as the excavating and carrying away materials from beds and banks of streams, and from the vicinity of bridge foundations, which is one of the main causes of river bridge failures.

Sickle Cell Disease Is an Inherent Risk for Asthma in a Sibling Comparison Study
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Sickle cell disease (SCD) and asthma share a complex relationship. Although estimates vary, asthma prevalence in children with SCD is believed to be comparable to or higher than the general population. Determining whether SCD confers an increased risk for asthma remains challenging due to overlapping symptoms and the ...

Direct N-body Simulations of Rubble Pile Collisions
, 1999 There is increasing evidence that many km-sized bodies in the Solar System are piles of rubble bound together by gravity. We present results from a project to map the parameter space of collisions between km-sized spherical rubble piles. The results will

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background While Wilms tumor (WT) typically has a favorable prognosis, relapsed cases—especially those with high‐risk histology—remain therapeutically challenging after intensive frontline therapy. The combination of vincristine and irinotecan has demonstrated activity in pediatric solid tumors, and pazopanib, a multi‐targeted tyrosine kinase ...

Influence of relative stiffness on the behavior of piled raft foundations
Acta Scientiarum: Technology, 2018 The behavior of piled foundations is influenced by several factors, especially those related to the geometry of the foundations, the number of piles, the height of the element that tops the piles and the type of soil in which the foundations are inserted.
