Abstract Pressuremeter modulus (E_ M EM) and limit pressure (P_ L PL) are used for the
calculation of the settlement and bearing capacity of foundation respectively. As the …

The paper presents the possibility of using data mining tools—artificial neural networks—in
prediction of hydrometer reading after 24 h in order to limit the duration of the test to 4 h. The …

The anisotropy effect is one of the most prominent phenomena in soil mechanics. Although
many experimental programs have investigated anisotropy in sand, a computational …

This paper proposes a numerical methodology for capturing the complete curve of a
pressuremeter test including initial or disturbed parts and loops through a stiffness-based …

Pressuremeter test (PMT) is conducted to obtain effective soil parameters such as limit
pressure (PL) and pressuremeter modulus (E p) that are frequently used in calculating …

In this study, pressuremeter modulus (E p) and limit pressure (PL) were predicted using
artificial intelligence methods through the available results of in situ and laboratory tests (the …

The construction industry in the metropolis of Tehran, Iran increasingly encounters new
crises. Research on soil mechanics and foundation engineering in the construction process …

According to the American Building Loading Code, progressive failure is defined as the
spread of failure in a structure from one element to another, which ultimately leads to the …

A pressuremeter test is a useful tool to explore geomechanical properties by comparing the
in situ measured stress–strain relationship with proposed soil behaviour. In this paper, a …

Buckling Restrained Brace (BRB) has the ability to wear and absorb energy well. The aim of
this study was to obtain the results of dynamic behavior of metal structures and seismic …
