Calculation of Horizontal Bearing Capacity of Anti-Slide Piles Based on Soil Arching Effect and Improved Strain Wedge Model in Loess Sites

Shanghai Jiaotong Daxue xuebao
Landslide prevention and control is one of the prominent topics in the field of geological hazards. The passive soil arching effect, adjacent to the piles, is a key factor influencing the horizontal load-bearing capacity of anti-slide piles.

Ceiling-Floor Partition Separation: What Is It and Why Is It Occurring? [PDF]

, 1989
This publication is intended to increase the understanding of cracking or separation of finish materials occasionally found in light-frame wood construction. In many cases, the problem is caused by shrinking or swelling of the wood framing members due to

Model test and particle flow numerical simulation of soil arching effect for unsaturated sandy soil tunnel

Rock and Soil Mechanics, 2021
The apparent cohesion caused by matric suction makes the mechanical properties of unsaturated sand significantly different from those of dry sand. In order to study the soil arching effect of the unsaturated sand tunnel, trapdoor tests with different ...

Invited review: Effect of temperature on a granular pile

, 2010
As a fragile construction, a granular pile is very sensitive to minute external perturbations. In particular, it is now well established that a granular assembly is sensitive to variations of temperature.
