Vertical Ground

In order to calculate the ground movement induced by displacement piles driven into horizontal layered strata, an axisymmetric model was built and then the vertical and horizontal ground movement functions were deduced using stochastic medium theory. Results show that the vertical ground movement obeys normal distribution function, while the horizontal ground movement is an exponential function. Utilizing field measured data, parameters of these functions can be obtained by back analysis, and an example was employed to verify this model. Result shows that stochastic medium theory is suitable for calculating the ground movement in pile driving, and there is no need to consider the constitutive model of soil or contact between pile and soil. This method is applicable in practice.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> The Indonesian Centre of Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation classified the Ciloto district as one of the most landslide prone areas in Indonesia. Some evidence of ground movement and the landslide failures occurred in recent years. Thus, continuous monitoring is necessary for supporting the precautions of an upcoming landslide. This study applies Small Baselines - Slowly Decorrelated Phase Filter (SDPF) for InSAR processing both for the ascending and the descending data. The primary objective is to generate horizontal and vertical components of InSAR results from two different tracks and slope aspect information in order to retrieve a projection to the northward direction. We used the available Sentinel-1 SAR data from 2014 until 2018. Combination of two orbits is approached by the surface and the nearest-neighbor gridding method. The 3D components were examined at the Puncak Pass, Ciloto, an active landslide area. For the case study area, it appeared that soil materials transferred slowly from the top of main body landslide to the accumulated zone near to the buildings owned by a local resort. The cumulative 3D displacements for three years were computed for the depleted zone: it moved &amp;minus;47, 23, &amp;minus;10 mm for dU, dE and dN, respectively. Meanwhile, the accumulated zone was considered having the up-lift motion to maximum 43, &amp;minus;13, 7 mm, respectively.</p>

&lt;p&gt;The mechanical behavior of a natural stone ventilated facade is inevitably based on the correct execution of both anchoring elements, stone cladding and enclosure support, either with brick masonry walls or reinforced concrete walls. In the case studied in the present work, the origin of the damages on the facade of&amp;#160;a building located in Lisbon has been analyzed,&amp;#160;where stone detachments were starting to occur. This enclosure is a ventilated facade cladded with Portuguese limestone Lioz slabs. Non-destructive borescope analysis of the metallic anchoring system employed was performed, as well as X-Ray fluorescence laboratory analysis (FRX) for chemical characterization of the anchoring material. Results obtained demonstrated the problem cause on the stone facade due to incorrect metallic anchoring selection and poor execution combined with stress corrosion effect, especially for slabs with larger dimensions.&lt;/p&gt;

The Impact

In the past, shakedown evaluation was usually based on the elastic method that the sum of the primary and secondary stress should be limited to 3Sm or the simplified elastic-plastic analysis method. The elastic method is just an approximate analysis, and the rigorous evaluation of shakedown normally requires an elastic-plastic analysis. In this paper, using an elastic perfectly plastic material model, the shakedown analysis was performed by a series of elastic-plastic analyses. Taking a shell with a nozzle subjected to parameterized temperature loads as an example, the impact of temperature change on the shakedown load was discussed and the shakedown loads of this structure at different temperature change rates were also obtained. This study can provide helpful references for engineering design.

Vertical Displacements

Theextraction of ore and minerals by underground mining may induce groundsubsidence phenomena. These phenomena produce several types of ground movement likehorizontal and vertical displacements, ground curvature and horizontal groundstrain at the surface, and associated building damage in urban regions. Theinfluence function is a well-known and efficient method for the prediction ofthese movements, but its application is restricted to mining configurationswith the same influence angle around the mine. However, this angle may displaydifferent values when the mine is not horizontal or when other subsidenceevents already occurred near the considered mine.In this paper a methodology and analgorithm are developed, based on the traditional influence function method inorder to take into account different influence angles. This methodology isimplemented in the Mathematicasoftware and a case study is presented with data from the Lorraine iron minefield in France. Ground movements calculated with the developed methodologyshow a fair concordance with observed data.

Load Factors

In this paper, a methodology is presented to develop load factors for use in elastic-plastic assessments of pipelines and their components. The load factors are based on the pipe material properties and the ASME pipeline code’s design margin for the service and location of the pipeline installation [1, 2]. These codes are recognized by 49 CFR 192 and 195 [3, 4]. Minimum required load factors for internal pressure loads can be derived analytically based on design equations from the ASME B31 piping codes and minimum material requirements for API 5L line pipe [6]. Once the load factor is established for a particular case, the elastic-plastic methodology may be used in the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of pipelines and related components. This methodology is particularly useful in the assessment of existing systems when linear elastic numerical analysis shows that local stresses may exceed the elastic design limits. Two case studies are presented showing analyses performed with Abaqus [5], a commercial, general purpose FEA software package. The first case study provides an assessment of a large diameter elbow where the stress on the outer fibers of the intrados exceeded the longitudinal stress limits from B31.8. The second case study examines an assessment of a tee connection where the stresses on the ID exceeded the yield strength of the component. In addition to the case studies, the paper also presents the results of a full-scale test that demonstrated what margin was present when the numerical calculations were based on specified minimum properties. This paper is not intended to revise or replace any provision of B31.4 and/or B31.8 [1, 2]. Instead, it provides the means for calculating load factors that can be used with an elastic-plastic analysis approach in a manner that provides the same design margins as the ASME B31 codes. The approach described in this paper is intended for use in the detailed FEA of pipelines and their associated components.

In this article, the authors presented two examples of the reconstruction of medieval masonry ramparts in Nowogrodziec and Gryfów Śląski (Lower-Silesia, Poland). The authors elaborated a schedule for the reinforcement and the reconstruction of permanent medieval monastery ruins in Nowogrodziec and a way to reinforce the medieval city walls in Gryfów. [1, 2]. The authors have also proposed the reinforcement by using "Reticolatus" system. The "Reticolatus" system, developed in Italy for strengthening 3-layer walls against seismic influence, could be used separately or in addition to other techniques of reinforcement, especially in irregular masonry structures. The proposed technique allows for increasing compressive and shear strength. This method also allows for using the original material of the building with preservation and protection of historical, monumental and architectural character of the reinforcement construction.
