Soil-plugging inside open-ended piles is a well-known phenomenon which increases vertical bearing capacity on the one hand but also leads to increasing driving resistance. There are many different factors affecting the tendency of soil-plug formation like pile diameter, geometry of the pile, installation method, soil density and so on. With the basis of experimental data numerical models to simulate the pile installation process to better understand the mechanisms of soil plugging inside open-ended piles are validated. The validated numerical models are used to examine different aspects regarding the phenomenon of soil plug formation. First, the evolution of internal and external shaft friction is investigated in more detail with focus on pile diameter. Furthermore, the impact of internal reinforcements like internal rings are investigated numerically. The shape of the internal ring is varied throughout this study to evaluate the influence of this key factor on internal stress development.

Soil-plugging inside open-ended piles is a well-known phenomenon which increases vertical bearing capacity on the one hand but also leads to increasing driving resistance. There are many different factors affecting the tendency of soil-plug formation like pile diameter, geometry of the pile, installation method, soil density and so on. In the present contribution, in-situ measurements regarding two tubular piles with a diameter of 71 cm are presented. The piles are first vibratory driven up to 6.5 m penetration and afterwards they are impact driven to their final penetration depth. During the installation internal and external stresses at the pile toe and accelerations and strains at the pile head are measured on both piles. Furthermore, one pile is equipped with a cone penetrometer inside the pile to monitor cone and shaft resistance during the installation. At the end of the installation the height of the internal soil column is measured. The results are discussed with focus on the installation method on soil plugging tendency. Concluding they are compared to classical analytical approaches.

Purpose This paper aims to evaluate the impact of the subsidies established by Measure 123 of the Rural Development Policy on the productivity of a sample of agri-food and forestry companies in the region of Asturias over the period 2006-2009. Design/methodology/approach The authors estimate a stochastic frontier function which allows subsidies to be considered as affecting both the level of technical efficiency and technical progress. Findings The results show that while subsidies have a positive effect on the technical progress of companies in the agri-food industry, for the forestry industry, the effect materializes as an improvement in technical efficiency. Additionally, other factors affecting either, technical progress and technical efficiency were identified. Originality/value This study adopts a model that allows the separate identification of the effect of subsidies on the level of efficiency, on the one hand, and on the technical progress, on the other.

The Impact

It is important to analyze urban floods according to uncertain rainfall patterns. This study was carried out to determine key statistical characteristics of rainfall affecting the occurrences of flooding by using observed rainfall, one- and two-dimensional hydraulic analysis models, and random forests. The target area selected was the Centum City area of Busan, where flooding occurs frequently with heavy rainfall. For analysis, the rainfall data from the Automatic Weather System (AWS) and radar observatory in the entire city of Busan were collected. Using the results from the one- and two-dimensional numerical models, the occurrence of flooding was determined according to the observed rainfall events. The random forest was used to classify the presence or absence of flooding according to the statistical characteristics of rainfall, and the importance evaluation function was applied to determine the impact of each statistical factor. The three main statistical factors of rainfall with the greatest impact on the occurrence of flooding were analyzed as the 1-hr maximum rainfall, the average rainfall, and the skewness. On the other hand, the three main factors affecting the maximum flood depth were the 3-hrs maximum rainfall, the 1-hr maximum rainfall, and the total rainfall. It is judged that the results of this study will be useful in suggesting quantitative urban flood forecasting standards when rainfall is examined in real-time by using various observation equipment.

Concrete is the one of the most important construction materials not only in terms of its global consumption but also environmental impact. However, there are many possibilities to reduce the environmental impact of concrete structures. This paper presents a set of factors determining the environmental impact of subsequent stages in the life cycles of concrete objects. In the research, the method of deduction and mathematical logic was applied to identify the parameters. Using the DEMATEL method, the significance of the identified factors was determined. An influential relation map allowed to specify a set of important parameters (causes) that affect the impact of the structure on the environment. The most important causes include: Concrete class, structural loads, static of the structure, materials used, and their suppliers as well as the volume of structural elements. The results of the analysis both confirmed the previous findings, as well as shows a set of indicators not previously highlighted. The cause-and-effect relationships between the parameters, and its significance was also determined. The results enable to indicate further directions of reducing the environmental impact of the concrete structure.

Sanitation is the one component of environmental health as intentional behavior for cultivate human hygiene to prevent direct contact with dirt and other hazardous waste material, with the hope to maintain and improve human health. This is because, the environment may play a direct cause influential factor in supporting the outbreak of disease and as factors affecting the course of the disease. All feces is a medium as breeding and seed base of infectious diseases. The impact of the disease is most often caused by defecation to the river is the widespread bacterium Escherichia coli, which can cause diarrhea. After that could be dehydrated, and because of the condition of human body’s down then get other diseases. The river is a very important source of water to support human’s life. Dynamism watersheds are influenced by the weather, river flow characteristics and human behaviour of the people who live around the river banks. As a result of effluent from people behaviour causes disturbance to the ecosystem of the river flow. Starting from the non-fulfillment of water quality 3B standarts (colorless, odorless and non-toxic), reduced numbers of fish and water animals, the emergence of a rundown neighborhood until the emergence of health problems and others, therefore, to KKN-PPM in the field of Environmental Sanitation and Supply water in the village Easy in Subdisrtict Prambon, Sidoarjo, the program will be made by "socialization of Great Importance Not Throw water on the River (STOP BABS)".

Clothing comfort is very important feature which is considered as a result of different process of heat exchange between human body, clothing and environment. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the impact of clothing insulation on the heat transfer. The measurements were carried out on commercially 1x1 RIB knitted fabrics used for the production of next-to-skin shirts. The one group of samples are made from 100% cotton yarn and another with 96% cotton and 4%lycra. It is noticed that knitted material composition affected the change in heat resistance. Also, this paper presents and verifies the correlation between the measured values of thermal resistance (Rct) and the knitwear thickness (dpl), the covering factor (K), the porosity of the twists (e) and the surface coefficient (dp). Based on these results, a mathematical model for calculating thermal resistance is proposed. Comparing the results obtained with the proposed equation and the measured results, we can see that the deviations are minimal. The highest deviation for sample C4 is 0.05%,while the largest deviation for sample CL4 is 4.6%.

Savings in banks or any other financial institution will be a key factor in raising the capital of any economy in the world. It will boost the economic growth when there is a higher savings portfolio in an economy. As a developing country, Sri Lanka looks forward to expanding the economy through the financial system to invest in development programs to mitigate financial shortages. The Central Bank of Sri Lanka is the principal financial institution that controls and oversees the entire financial system of the country through a variety of banking and financial institutions. The Sri Lankan financial system can be categorized as the banking sector, the non-bank finance and leasing sector, key traders, the micro-credit sector and the money brokerage industry. The banking industry in the financial system plays a major role in attracting client’s savings into the economy. Savings can be regarded as income for one person as well as an investment for future benefits. In this paper concentrating mainly on the savings intention of young people or clients in the Licensed Specialized Banks and affecting the factors concerning their intention to save. This study will pay attention on the impact of factors on savings intention of young customers in the given population to identify which factors have more or less effects on each factor. Identifying the impact of each is important to generalize the results of research virtually into the actual working environment. This will be useful for policy-makers, decision-makers or banking strategists to implement new plans and even alter their vision statements.
