A numerical model incorporated in finite element PLAXIS program is presented in this paper to simulate the behavior of an "L-shaped" very stiff reinforced concrete prototype wall. The proposed numerical model has been calibrated and validated experimental results conducted previously at Manchester University. Taking into account the centrifuge model dimensions and geometry with respect to the centrifuge scaling law, the loading conditions and sequences during the test, and by considering for the modeling of the soil the hardening soil model, the numerical results obtained in terms of pattern and magnitude of the wall displacements were very close to the experimentally …

The discharge measurement is significant in wide engineering applications such as water conveyance, sewer system, irrigation, and drainage system. Many devices are designed to measure discharge in partially filled circular and semicircular channels. In this study new semicircular mobile flume depends on the concept of developing a contracted zone to have a control section was examined. The contraction was made by installing a vertical pipe with axial holes at the semicircular open channel to create critical flow. To evaluate the efficiency of this type of devices mathematical and experimental studies were presented. Specific energy, discharge, and Froude number equations were …
