TL;DR: In this article, a simplified analytical solution based on Euler Bernoulli's beam theory was proposed to investigate the influence of seismic landslide on buried continuous pipeline, where the beam is resting on elastic foundation (soil spring) and the complete solution (both complementary function and particular integral) of the governing differential equation was developed considering available boundary conditions and continuity conditions of the idealized problem.

TL;DR: In this paper, the swelling characteristics of black clays from two major areas of occurrence in Borno State, Nigeria, were investigated in the laboratory and the developed predictive models showed that the free swell percentage as well as the swelling pressure can be predicted from measured values of electrical conductivity, specific gravity, clay content and plasticity index.
Abstract: The swelling characteristics of black clays from two major areas of occurrence in Borno State, Nigeria, were investigated in the laboratory. Clay samples derived from lagoonal clay deposits showed high swelling tendencies while those samples derived from Olivine basalts showed medium to high swelling tendencies. Although interparticle swelling was the dominant swelling mechanism, soil samples with higher clay contents exhibited higher swelling tendencies. The developed predictive models show that the free swell percentage as well as the swelling pressure can be predicted from measured values of electrical conductivity, specific gravity, clay content and plasticity index. On the other hand, swell percent can be predicted from measured values of electrical conductivity and specific gravity only.

TL;DR: In this paper, a reasonably accurate model for the soil-foundation-structure interaction system with computational validity, efficiency, and accuracy is needed in improved design of important structures, and the strengths and limitations of the models described in a single paper may be of help to the civil engineers to choose a suitable one for their study and design.
Abstract: The interaction among structures, their foundations and the soil medium below the foundations alter the actual behaviour of the structure considerably than what is obtained from the consideration of the structure alone. Thus, a reasonably accurate model for the soil–foundation–structure interaction system with computational validity, efficiency and accuracy is needed in improved design of important structures. The present study makes an attempt to gather the possible alternative models available in the literature for this purpose. Emphasis has been given on the physical modeling of the soil media, since it appears that the modeling of the structure is rather straightforward. The strengths and limitations of the models described in a single paper may be of help to the civil engineers to choose a suitable one for their study and design. 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted eccentric compression tests on three reinforced concrete column footings considering the complex interaction between the soil and structure, and investigated the load-carrying capacity, displacement distribution, reaction distribution, failure mode, crack development, and strain distribution.
