TL;DR: A feed forward back-propagation neural network model is presented to estimate the vertical deformation of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) small diameter flexible pipes buried in reinforced trenches and settlement of soil surface subjected to repeated loadings to simulate the heavy vehicle loads.

TL;DR: In this paper, an investigation of the seismic response of a massive NPP structure due to full 3D, inclined, un-correlated input motions for different soil and rock profiles is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of comprehensive research and development projects has validated the novel concept of the bucket foundation as an alternative to piled foundations, and bucket foundations are rapidly becoming a viable option for offshore wind farms and marginal fields.
Abstract: A series of comprehensive research and development projects has validated the novel concept of the bucket foundation as an alternative to piled foundations, and bucket foundations are rapidly becoming a viable option for offshore wind farms and marginal fields.Within the last decade, experimental studies have indicated the possibility of defining foundation response using plasticity theory. Results of multiple loading tests addressing the effect of embedment on the strain-hardening behavior of shallow bucket foundations under combined loading are reported. The kinematic mechanisms accompanying pre-failure are presented. It is argued that the drained capacity of offshore bucket foundations and the ratio of plastic increments are largely influenced by embedment depth and the preload ratio V/Vpeak.

TL;DR: The first real non-destructive testing method that used Schmidt hammer rebound number to estimate the load carrying capacity of anchor bolts was successfully proposed by the authors and confirmed that the alignment of the anchor bolt is most dominant factor among all random factors considered in the analysis.
