Performance of cyclic loading on circular footing on geogrid reinforced sandbedeSAT Journals
Abstract Foundation is a part of structure which transmits weight of structure to the ground. In addition to static loads the foundations are subjected to dynamic loads like machine loads, seismic loads and moving wheel loads. This paper presents laboratory test results of cyclic loading on circular footing on geogrid reinforced sandbed for different densities. In this paper, works are carried out on circular footing with different densities i.e. 1.642gm/cc, 1.722gm/cc, 1.763gm/cc and with number of layers as 0, 1, 2, 3. Dynamic soil properties as coefficient of elastic uniform compression Cu, coefficient of elastic uniform shear Cτ, coefficient of elastic non-uniform shear Cψ and the coefficient of elastic non uniform compression Cφ were also determined. It has been concluded that as density of sand bed and as number of layers increases, settlement of footing decreases. Keywords : Cyclic loading, geogrid, coefficient of elastic uniform compression , coefficient of elastic uniform shear, coefficient of elastic non-uniform shear and the coefficient of elastic non uniform compression.
Numerical and Analytical Solutions for Ovaling Deformation in Circular Tunnel...IDES Editor
Ovaling deformations develop when waves propagate
perpendicular to the tunnel axis. Two analytical solutions are
used for estimating the ovaling deformations and forces in
circular tunnels due to soil–structure interaction under
seismic loading. In this paper, these two closed form solutions
will be described briefly, and then a comparison between these
methods will be made by changing the ground parameters.
Differences between the results of these two methods in
calculating the magnitudes of thrust on tunnel lining are
significant. For verifying the results of these two closed form
solutions, numerical analyses were performed using finite
element code (ABAQUS program). These analyses show that
the two closed form solutions provide the same results only
for full-slip condition.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.
Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Bearing Capacity of Rocks For Foundations.
Bearing capacity failures of structures founded on rock masses are
dependent upon joint spacing with respect to foundation width, joint
orientation, joint condition (open or closed), and rock type.
Ultimate bearing capacity
The ultimate bearing capacity is defined as the average load per unit
area required to produce failure by rupture of a supporting soil or rock
mass.
Allowable bearing capacity value
The allowable bearing capacity value is defined as the maximum
pressure that can be permitted on a foundation soil (rock mass), giving
consideration to all pertinent factors, with adequate safety against
rupture of the soil mass (rock mass) or movement of the foundation of
such magnitude that the structure is impaired.

4. 2. Bearing Capacity Estimation Equations
A number of bearing capacity equations are reported in the literature, which
provide explicit solutions for the ultimate bearing capacity
2.1 General shear failure
The ultimate bearing capacity for the general shear mode of failure can be
estimated from the traditional Buisman-Terzaghi (Terzaghi 1943) bearing
capacity expression as follow. These equation is valid for long continuous
foundations with length to width ratios in excess of ten.
qult= cNc + 0.5γBNγ + γDNq……………………………………………………………..(2.1)
Where;
qult= the ultimate bearing capacity
γ = effective unit weight
D = depth
B = width
C = the cohesion intercepts for rock mass
Nc, Nγ and Nq are known as Terzag’ s bearing capacity factors
These are dimensionless numbers and depends upon angle of shearing resistance.
2.2. General shear failure without cohesion
qult= 0.5γBNγ + γDNq ……………………………………………..………………………..(2.22)

5. 2.3. Local shear failure
Local shear failure represents a special case where failure surfaces start to develop but do
not propagate to the surface as illustrated in Fig.9.1a. In this respect, the depth of
embedment contributes little to the total bearing capacity stability. An expression for the
ultimate bearing capacity applicable to localized shear failure can be written as:
qult= cNc + 0.5γBN γ……………………………………..(2.3)

6. 2.5 Correction factors
The above Equations are applicable to long continuous foundations with length to
width ratios (L/B) greater than ten. Table 9.1 provides correction factors for circular
and square foundations, as well as rectangular foundations with L/B ratios less than
ten. The ultimate bearing capacity is estimated from the appropriate equation by
multiplying the correction factor by the value of the corresponding bearing capacity
factor.

2.4 Compressive failure
The failure mode in this case is similar to unconfined compression failure. The
ultimate bearing capacity may be estimated from following equation.
qult=2Ctan(45+φ/2)………………………………..(2.8)
7. 2.6. Splitting failure
For widely spaced and vertically oriented discontinuities, failure generally initiates
by splitting beneath the foundation. In such cases Bishnoi (1968) suggested the
following solutions for the ultimate bearing capacity:
• For circular foundation
qult = JcNcr…………………………………………………………………………..(2.9)
• For square foundation
qult= 0.85JcNcr ………………………………………………(2.10)
• For continuous strip foundations for L/B ≤ 32
qult= JcNcr/(2.2 +0.18L/B) (2.11)…………………………….2.11
Where
• J= correction factor dependent upon thickness of the foundation rock and width
of foundation.
• L= Length of the foundation.
• Ncr = bearing capacity factor which is given by
Ncr =[2Nφ
2 / (1 + Nφ)](cot φ)(1-1/ Nφ)- Nφ(cot φ) +2 Nφ

9. A coefficient of foundation bearing capacity Nσ is used to evaluate the value of ultimate
bearing capacity. For the strip foundation shown the width is B, the axial compressive
strength and volume weight of rock foundation material is σci and , the Geological
intensity index of rock is measured by GSI, then the ultimate bearing capacity could be
demonstrated as
Where;
Qu = ultimate bearing capacity
Nσ = Bearing capacity coefficient
σci =axial compressive strength

2.7 Bearing Capacity computions using Hoek–Brown and Mohr-Coulomb
empirical failure criteria
3/3/2021 9
10. Goodman (1989) suggested, no universal formula for bearing capacity of rock can be
given. The bearing capacity can be computed from different equations that utilize the
Hoek–Brown and Mohr-Coulomb empirical failure criteria.
Kulhawy and Carter (1992) equation for calculating the ultimate bearing capacity of a
rock mass:
qult = σci (sa + (mb + s )a
where
• σci = uniaxial compressive strength of the intact rock (MPa)
• s, a = Hoek-Brown constant of the rock mass, and
• mb = Hoek-Brown constant of the rock mass rock.
3/3/2021 10
11. Goodman (1989) equation for calculating the ultimate bearing
capacity of a rock mass:
The bearing capacity for a homogeneous, discontinuous rock mass cannot be less than
the unconfined compressive strength of the rock mass around the footing. This can be
taken as a lower bound. If the rock mass has a constant angle of internal friction, φ and
unconfined compressive strength, the bearing capacity can be estimated as follows:
Qult = σci (N φ + 1)

12. 3. Allowable Bearing Capacity Value
The allowable bearing capacity value is defined as the maximum pressure that can be
permitted on a foundation rock mass, giving consideration to all pertinent factors, with
adequate safety against rupture of the rock mass or movement of the foundation of such
magnitude that the structure is impaired.
Approaches for determining allowable bearing capacity values.
The allowable bearing capacity value, qa, based on the strength of the rock mass is defined
as the ultimate bearing capacity, qult, divided by a factor of safety (FS):
qa = qult / FS ……………………………………….(3.1)
The average stress acting on the foundation material must be equal to or less than the
allowable bearing capacity according to the following equation;
Q / BL < qa ……….……….………...........................(3.2)
Where; ‘Q’is the vertical force component of the resultant of all forces acting on the
structure, ‘B’ is the width of the footing, ‘L’ is the length of the footing and ‘qa’ is the
allowable bearing capacity value.
Building codes
Allowable bearing capacity values that consider both strength and deformation/ settlement
are prescribed in local and national building codes.
3/3/2021 12
13. Empirical correlations
RQD is also used for estimation of allowable bearing capacity of rock
mass. The correlation is intended for a rock mass with discontinuities that “are
tight or are not open wider than a fraction of an inch.”

15. 3+S /B
Nj =
10 [1+300(δ/S)]
In case of rock mass with favorable discontinuities, the
net allowable bearing pressure may be estimated from:
qa = qc * Nj
Where
qc = average uniaxial compressive strength of rock cores
Nj = empirical coefficient depending on the spacing of the discontinuities
δ = thickness of discontinuity
S = spacing of discontinuities
B = width of footing
The above relationship is valid for a rock mass with spacing of continuities >
0.3 m, δ < 10 mm (15 mm if filled with soil) and B >0.3 m.
