Ground vibration is one of the most critical undesirable factors of blasting. In this study, the effects of the blast damage factor and blast design parameters in a rock slope through applying the dynamic blast loading on ground vibration are investigated. Modelings were conducted considering three major geological discontinuities with a spacing of...

Semi-submersibles, best-suitable for oil and gas exploration in ultra-deep waters, possess attractive stability characteristics. While well-defined installation practices also bound them, failure of mooring lines shall pose challenges to their functional safety. Postulated failure analyses of a semi-submersible in 1500 m water depth in the Gulf of ...

The nanoparticles are basically the smallest particles known in the soil environment. Soil being a particulate material and its essential particles have a different size range. On the other hand, nanoparticles range between 1 and 100 nm and most properties of nanoparticles are size-dependent. In this paper, an experimental study was conducted to st...

The effect of skewness on the sacrificial seat-type abutment and abutment interaction with the skew deck is quite well known. Unlike the simplified approach, this study focuses on the effect of skewness on the seating width of seat-type abutment by providing a rigorous deck model in the analysis while the sacrificial seat-type abutment interacts wi...
