Scaled Physical Modeling Of The Dynamics Of Granular Flow In Hopper Silos, Hagos Eman
Scaled Physical Modeling Of The Dynamics Of Granular Flow In Hopper Silos, Hagos Eman
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
To understand the challenges on grain flow during handling in hoppers and silos require better understanding of the granular physical flow characteristics through experiments done at large scale. However, due to the complexity of the large, controlled tests, scaled models are often used to study the behaviour. Very few of these model scale studies had been done appropriately taking the effects of gravity on silo discharge into account. This subject has also been widely investigated in different areas of geotechnical engineering related to soil erosion, land slides, and dynamic liquefaction. Granular flow rate and the dynamics of the flow are …

Investigation Of Hybrid Monopile-Footing Foundation Systems Subjected To Combined Loading, Mohamed El-Marassi
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Laterally loaded structures such as wind turbines, offshore platforms, earth retaining structures, bridge abutments and many other structures impose complex loading regimes on the supporting foundations. These foundations are typically subjected to combinations of vertical, horizontal and moment loadings resulting from the vertical self-weight of the foundation system, superstructure, soil fill and surface surcharge, in addition to significant lateral loads and moments due to soil pressures, wind loads, waves and currents. In the case of shallow foundations, the weight and dimensions must be sufficient to resist tilting and sliding, whilst at the same time preventing failure of the subsoil and …
