Seismic performance of foundations is a critical issue in earthquake-prone regions, where the seismic forces generated during earthquakes can pose significant challenges to the stability and safety of structures. This study involves a strip footing resting on a layer of soil above a rigid basement. The effect of various parameters such as the frict...
Construction of subsea tunnels has grown significantly in recent decades around the world. Hence, ensuring the stability of these tunnels is very important. However, investigating the stability of subsea tunnels has not received enough attention. The goal of the present study is to use the finite element limit analysis (FELA) for determining the in...

This study applies three methods, Gene Expression Programming (GEP), M5 tree (M5T) model and optimized Artificial Neural Network by Genetic Algorithm (ANN-GA) for estimation of reference evapotranspiration in Ahvaz and Dezful in the southwest of Iran. Comparison between results of the FAO Penman - Monteith (FPM) method and the mentioned three metho...
Purpose
In this manuscript, the authors aimed to demonstrate the influences of influential parameters in mixed-mode crack propagation phenomenon. The authors attempted to cover almost all surrounding issues of this subject as the authors know simulating of propagating cracks as internal strong discontinuity is a complicated issue.
Design/methodolo...
The lithology of Ahvaz city is very complex due to a combination of tectonic activities, flood plain sedimentation, and faulting. These features form subsoil of layers with different types and abrupt changes in stiffness. This lithology combined with a reverse fault may have significant effect on site amplification. This can be very destructive and...
One of the important factors which control the possible cracking zone in earth dams is the geometry of valley cross section. This research uses genetic express programming (GEP) for finding the best equations for the relationship between the width and depth of possible cracking zone and geometric parameters of valley cross section, such as the inve...
The seismic bearing capacity of shallow strip footings located on homogeneous soils is studied extensively. But the effect
of building height and layering is not included in those studies. In this paper two-layered cohesive soils are studied along
with building height effect. The formulation of the problem is derived by extending the limit equilibr...
The gypsiferous soils are significantly sensitive to moisture and the water has a severe destructive effect on them. Therefore, the effect of lime and silica fume addition on their mechanical properties, when subjected to water, is investigated. Gypsiferous soil specimens were mixed with 1, 2 and 3% lime and 1, 3, 5 and 7% silica fume, in terms of...
Electro-remediation process (ERP) is used for dewatering and decontaminating of the soil and improving its mechanical properties. In this study, the effect of voltage, electrode materials, and their arrangement on ERP were studied. The saturated clayey soil was remolded in four boxes at a dry density of 16.2 kN/m³. The process was performed in thre...

With regards to the pivotal and decisive role of programs and projects in prosperity of
enterprises, optimal selection in terms of alignment of projects with strategies becomes a serious
challenge. Given the importance of this subject, multifunction committees in organizations
generally make decisions by taking various criteria into account. Consid...

Among the policies accepted in housing development is forming a large number of cooperative construction companies named Taavoni Maskane Mehr (TMM). Due to lowland type of the grounds some few meters, up to 4m, of compacted backfills are proposed in order to raise the elevation of such areas of such areas. In this research a set of data of compacti...
This paper deals with the dynamic analysis of foundations in saturated soils. In the first part, a mathematical formulation is briefly outlined in which soil is considered as a two-phase medium comprising the soil skeleton and voids filled with a viscous fluid. Such formulation is suitable for describing a solid-fluid transition associated with the...
This thesis deals with numerical modelling of the behaviour of soils infiltrated with fluids. The main objectives are to study the effect of viscosity of the fluid on the response of particulate media under static and dynamic loadings, and to examine the influence of partial saturation on the behaviour under undrained conditions. The latter study i...
