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 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 Custom Shape Necklace employing the random adaptive finite element limit analysis and Monte Carlo simulations

Non-O ABO blood group genotypes differ in their associations with Plasmodium falciparum rosetting and severe malaria.

Blood group O is associated with protection against severe malaria and reduced size and stability of P.falciparum-host red blood cell (RBC) rosettes compared to non-O blood groups.Whether the non-O blood Custom Shape Necklace groups encoded by the specific ABO genotypes AO, BO, AA, BB and AB differ in their associations with severe malaria and rose

A New Ken-Ken Puzzle Pattern Based Reconfiguration Technique for Maximum Power Extraction in Partial Shaded Solar PV Array

Solar Photovoltaic array may often be subjected to partial shading, which may lead to uneven row current and creates local maximum power point on the power-voltage characteristics.One of the effective approaches to dilute the concentration of partial shading is the array reconfiguration technique.This study proposes a ken-ken puzzle-based reconfigu
