Multi Geophysical Parameters For Earthquake Forecasting, Ramesh P. Singh
Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research
This article focuses on the importance of keeping the public aware of earthquake forecasting. This article also encourages proper seismic codes to design buildings in the seismic-prone regions because such practice can save lives and property associated with an earthquake.

Anchored Sheet Pile Wall Design In Expansive Soils, Ömer Bilgin, Eman Mansour
Civil and Environmental Engineering and Engineering Mechanics Faculty Publications
Expansive soils cause damage to civil engineering structures in various parts of the world, because they swell when absorb water and shrink when dry out. Due to swelling pressures, retaining walls can be subjected to additional lateral pressures causing increased wall deformations and bending moments. Anchor forces can also increase, if the walls are anchored. When expansive soils are present behind retaining walls, swell pressures should also be considered during design in addition to the traditional lateral earth pressures. This study proposes a method to predict potential swell pressures acting on retaining walls for use in design of these walls. …
