1. Footings are structural members that transmit loads from columns and walls to the soil. The depth and location of foundations depends on factors like soil properties, groundwater, and adjacent structures.
2. Shallow foundations are suitable when surface soils can support loads but not in weak soils. Deep foundations transfer loads to deeper, stronger soils using piles, piers or caissons when near-surface soils are unsuitable.
3. Factors affecting foundation choice include subsurface soil properties, groundwater, structural requirements, construction constraints, codes and regulations, and impact on surrounding structures. Foundation type and depth aim to safely transmit loads without exceeding soil capacity or allowing excessive settlement.
This document discusses foundations for buildings. Foundations spread the load of the building to the ground to limit soil settlement. Foundations must be located safely and distribute dead, live, and wind loads appropriately. There are shallow and deep foundations. Good foundation design ensures loads are distributed economically, safely, and without movement during/after construction. Methods for foundation design include site investigation, load analysis, foundation material selection, and working drawings. Load bearing capacity depends on soil analysis and testing. Techniques to increase capacity include deeper foundations and soil compaction. Settlement and differential settlement can occur and techniques aim to reduce them, like raft foundations. Foundation type selection considers soil conditions, building type/loads, costs, and surroundings.

Sachpazis_Retaining Structures-Ground Anchors and Anchored Systems_C_Sachpazi...Dr.Costas Sachpazis
A retaining wall is a structure that is designed to hold back soil or other materials when there is a change in ground elevation. Retaining walls are commonly used in civil engineering to support soil and prevent erosion. They are typically constructed of various materials, including concrete, masonry, and timber.
Retaining walls are used in a variety of settings, including residential and commercial construction, roadways and highways, and landscaping projects. They are often used to create level areas for building or landscaping by holding back soil or other materials on sloping terrain.
The design of a retaining wall depends on several factors, including the type of soil, the height of the wall, and the slope of the ground. There are several types of retaining walls, including gravity walls, cantilever walls, sheet pile walls, and anchored walls. The type of wall used depends on the specific requirements of the project.
Overall, retaining walls are an important component of civil engineering projects and are used to support soil and prevent erosion. They require careful design and construction to ensure their stability and effectiveness.
Pile configuration optimization on the design of combined piled raft foundationsDr.Costas Sachpazis
By: Birhanu Asefa, Eleyas Assefa, Lysandros Pantelidis,Costas Sachpazis
This paper examines the impact of different pile configurations and geometric parameters on the bearing capacity and the settlement response of a combined pile–raft foundation system utilizing FLAC3D software. The configurations considered were: (1) uniform piles (denoted as CONF1), (2) shorter and longer piles uniformly distributed on the plan view of the raft (CONF2), (3) shorter piles at the center and longer piles at the edge of the raft (CONF3), and (4) longer piles at the center and shorter piles at the edge of the raft (CONF4). In the same framework, different pile diameters and raft stiffnesses were examined. The piles are considered to float in a cohesive–frictional soil mass, simulating the thick cohesive soil deposit found in Addis Abeba (Ethiopia). During simulation, a zero-thickness interface element was employed to incorporate the complex interaction between the soil elements and the structural elements. The analyses indicate that the configuration of piles has a considerable effect on both the bearing capacity and the settlement response of the foundation system. CONF1 and CONF3 improve the bearing capacity and exhibits a smaller average settlement than other configurations. However, CONF3 registers the highest differential settlement. On the other hand, the lowest differential settlement was achieved by the CONF4 configuration; the same configuration also gives ultimate load resistance comparable to those provided by either CONF1 or CONF3. The study also showed that applying zero-thickness interface elements to simulate the interaction between components of the foundation system is suitable for examining piled raft foundations problem.

Πλεονεκτήματα και Προκλήσεις της Αιολικής Ενέργειας
Από Κώστα Σαχπάζη, Πολιτικό Μηχανικό, καθηγητή Πολυτεχνικής Σχολής στην Γεωτεχνική Μηχανική
Η αιολική ενέργεια προσφέρει πολλά πλεονεκτήματα, κάτι που εξηγεί γιατί είναι μια από τις ταχύτερα αναπτυσσόμενες πηγές ενέργειας στον κόσμο. Οι ερευνητικές προσπάθειες αποσκοπούν στην αντιμετώπιση των προκλήσεων για μεγαλύτερη χρήση της αιολικής ενέργειας.
Καθώς είναι πιο καθαρή και φιλική προς το κλίμα, η Αιολική Ενέργεια χρησιμοποιείται ολοένα και περισσότερο για να καλύψει τις συνεχώς αυξανόμενες παγκόσμιες ενεργειακές απαιτήσεις. Στην Ελλάδα, υπάρχει ένα μεγάλο κενό μεταξύ των Αιολικών Πόρων και της πραγματικής παραγωγής ενέργειας, και είναι επιτακτική ανάγκη να επεκταθεί η ανάπτυξη της αιολικής ενέργειας, ιδιαίτερα στις ημέρες μας μετά από την Νέα Εποχή της Απολιγνιτοποίησης που έχουμε εισέλθει με βάση τις προσταγές και τους νόμους της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης.
Ας δούμε όμως παρακάτω περισσότερα για τα οφέλη της αιολικής ενέργειας και μερικές από τις προκλήσεις που προσπαθεί να ξεπεράσει:

Truss Analysis and Design example to EC3, by Dr. Costas Sachpazis
Differential settlement occurs when different parts of a building's foundation settle by different amounts, causing the building to sink unevenly. This can be caused by variations in soil strength or compaction issues. Uniform settlement across a building is expected over time but differential settlement can damage a building's structure. Signs may include cracks, sticking doors and windows, and leaning walls. Proper site inspection and using deep foundations like helical piers in expansive soils can help prevent differential settlement issues.
Retaining walls are relatively rigid walls used for supporting soil laterally so that it can be retained at different levels on the two sides. Retaining walls are structures designed to restrain soil to a slope that it would not naturally keep to (typically a steep, near-vertical or vertical slope). They are used to bound soils between two different elevations often in areas of terrain possessing undesirable slopes or in areas where the landscape needs to be shaped severely and engineered for more specific purposes like hillside farming or roadway overpasses. A retaining wall that retains soil on the backside and water on the frontside is called a seawall or a bulkhead.
Sachpazis: Hydraulic Structures / About Dams.
A dam is a barrier that stops or restricts the flow of water or underground streams. Reservoirs created by dams not only suppress floods but also provide water for activities such as irrigation, human consumption, industrial use, aquaculture, and navigability. Hydropower is often used in conjunction with dams to generate electricity. A dam can also be used to collect water or for storage of water which can be evenly distributed between locations. Dams generally serve the primary purpose of retaining water, while other structures such as floodgates or levees (also known as dikes) are used to manage or prevent water flow into specific land regions. The earliest known dam is the Jawa Dam in Jordan, dating to 3,000 BC.

Slope stability analysis: The term slope means a portion of the natural slope whose original profile has been modified by artificial interventions relevant with respect to stability. The term landslide refers to a situation of instability affecting natural slopes and involving large volumes of soil.
Slope Stability Evaluation for the New Railway Embankment using Stochastic & ...Dr.Costas Sachpazis
Evaluation of Slope stability is one of the day-to-day practices of geotechnical engineers. Nowadays, different methods are available to evaluate the stability of a particular slope. Despite the advances that have been made in site exploration, evaluating the stability of slopes remains a challenge. Recently, Ethiopia has been trying to construct a newly planned railway routes to connect the country’s development centers and link with ports of neighboring countries. However, this newly planned railway routes will pass in the heart of highly fragile mountainous terrains and earthquake prone regions. Therefore, the prime objective of this paper is to investigate the stability of the railway embankment by using three different stochastic approaches (First Order Reliability Method, Point Estimate Method and Monte Carlo Simulation) with commercially available finite element programs. Moreover, the seismic response of the railway embankment was studied by using a nonlinear analysis (FLAC2D v 7.0) program. The first order reliability method (FORM), Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) and Point-estimate method (PEM) gave 3.2%, 4.14% and 1.5% of probability of failure respectively. In the mean time, there was no any indication of liquefaction observed due to stiff foundation clay soils and deep groundwater table.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELijaia
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.
Accident detection system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The Rapid growth of technology and infrastructure has made our lives easier. The
advent of technology has also increased the traffic hazards and the road accidents take place
frequently which causes huge loss of life and property because of the poor emergency facilities.
Many lives could have been saved if emergency service could get accident information and
reach in time. Our project will provide an optimum solution to this draw back. A piezo electric
sensor can be used as a crash or rollover detector of the vehicle during and after a crash. With
signals from a piezo electric sensor, a severe accident can be recognized. According to this
project when a vehicle meets with an accident immediately piezo electric sensor will detect the
signal or if a car rolls over. Then with the help of GSM module and GPS module, the location
will be sent to the emergency contact. Then after conforming the location necessary action will
be taken. If the person meets with a small accident or if there is no serious threat to anyone’s
life, then the alert message can be terminated by the driver by a switch provided in order to
avoid wasting the valuable time of the medical rescue team.

Applications of artificial Intelligence in Mechanical Engineering.pdfAtif Razi
Historically, mechanical engineering has relied heavily on human expertise and empirical methods to solve complex problems. With the introduction of computer-aided design (CAD) and finite element analysis (FEA), the field took its first steps towards digitization. These tools allowed engineers to simulate and analyze mechanical systems with greater accuracy and efficiency. However, the sheer volume of data generated by modern engineering systems and the increasing complexity of these systems have necessitated more advanced analytical tools, paving the way for AI.
AI offers the capability to process vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and make predictions with a level of speed and accuracy unattainable by traditional methods. This has profound implications for mechanical engineering, enabling more efficient design processes, predictive maintenance strategies, and optimized manufacturing operations. AI-driven tools can learn from historical data, adapt to new information, and continuously improve their performance, making them invaluable in tackling the multifaceted challenges of modern mechanical engineering.
