UNDRAINED STABILITY OF BRACED EXCAVATIONS IN CLAY CONSIDERING THE NONSTATIONARY RANDOM FIELD OF UNDRAINED SHEAR STRENGTH

Undrained stability of braced excavations in clay considering the nonstationary random field of undrained shear strength

Abstract The basal heave stability of Beauty Service/Accessories supported excavations is an essential problem in geotechnical engineering.This paper considers the probabilistic analysis of basal heave stability of supported excavations with spatially random soils by employing the random adaptive finite element limit analysis and Monte Carlo simula

Enhancement of Lodging Resistance and Lignin Content by Application of Organic Carbon and Silicon Fertilization in Brassica napus L.

This study was aimed to investigate the effects of organic carbon and silicon fertilizers on the lodging resistance, yield, and economic performance of rapeseed.Two cultivars, namely Jayou (lodging-resistant) and Chuannongyou (lodging-susceptible), were selected to evaluate the effects of various fertilizer treatments on rapeseed culm morphology, l

Evolutionary process toward avian-like cephalic thermoregulation system in Theropoda elucidated based on nasal structures

It has long been discussed whether non-avian dinosaurs were physiologically closer to ectotherms or endotherms, with the internal nasal structure called the respiratory turbinate present in extant endotherms having been regarded as an important clue for this conundrum.However, the physiological function and relevance of Spa Masks this structure for
