Book excerpt: LE COUPLAGE DES SOLLICITATIONS MECANIQUES ET HYDRIQUES A FAIT DANS CETTE DERNIERE DECENNIE L'OBJET DE PLUSIEURS TRAVAUX. LA MODELISATION DE CE PROBLEME COMPLEXE RESTE LIMITEE PAR PLUSIEURS HYPOTHESES RESTRICTIVES. EN SE BASANT SUR LES RESULTATS EXPERIMENTAUX DE LA LITTERATURE CONCERNANT LE COMPORTEMENT DES SOLS PARTIELLEMENT SATURES, NOUS PROPOSONS UNE MODELISATION EN PLASTICITE, QUE NOUS METTONS EN UVRE EN APPLIQUANT LA METHODE CINEMATIQUE DE L'ANALYSE LIMITE. LA MODELISATION PROPOSEE RETIENT LE PRINCIPE DES CONTRAINTES EFFECTIVES DANS UN DOMAINE DE SUCCIONS ETENDU DEFINI COMME L'UNION DU DOMAINE TOTALEMENT SATURE ET D'UN DOMAINE QUASI SATURE CARACTERISE PAR SA BORNE SUPERIEURE QUI EST UNE SUCCION CRITIQUE. DANS LE DOMAINE OU LA SUCCION S EST SUPERIEURE A LA SUCCION CRITIQUE, NOUS NOUS BASONS SUR LE PRINCIPE DES VARIABLES INDEPENDANTES (INDEPENDANCE DE LA CONTRAINTE TOTALE, DE LA PRESSION DE LA PHASE GAZEUSE ET DE LA PHASE LIQUIDE) POUR PROPOSER UNE GENERALISATION DU CRITERE DE COULOMB (L'ANGLE DE FROTTEMENT ET LA COHESION DEVIENNENT FONCTION DE LA SUCCION) D'UNE PART, ET LA DEFINITION D'UN CRITERE DE PLASTICITE ISSU DE LA GENERALISATION DU CONCEPT DE L'ETAT CRITIQUE (CRITERE DE TYPE DRUCKER-PRAGUER) D'AUTRE PART. LE COUPLAGE HYDRO-MECANIQUE S'EFFECTUE DONC PAR LE BIAIS DU CRITERE DE PLASTICITE. LA MISE EN UVRE NUMERIQUE DE CETTE MODELISATION COMPORTE DEUX PARTIES: LA PREMIERE CONCERNE LA DETERMINATION DU CHAMP DE SUCCION (RESOLUTION DE L'EQUATION DE RICHARDS PAR UNE METHODE D'ELEMENTS FINIS OU D'ELEMENTS FRONTIERE DANS DES CAS PARTICULIERS); LA SECONDE, LA DETERMINATION DES CHARGES LIMITES (RESOLUTION D'UN PROBLEME D'OPTIMISATION NON LINEAIRE). CETTE MISE EN UVRE EST SUIVIE D'UNE ETUDE SUR LA PRECISION, LA CONVERGENCE DES DIFFERENTS ALGORITHMES UTILISES, QUI MET EN EVIDENCE L'INFLUENCE DE LA SINGULARITE DES CONTRAINTES MATHEMATIQUES ET CELLE DE LA DILATANCE EXCESSIVE INDUITE PAR L'HYPOTHESE DE LA REGLE D'ECOULEMENT NORMALE. LES RESULTATS NUMERIQUES OBTENUS AVEC LE CRITERE DE COULOMB GENERALISE, POUR UN ESSAI DE COMPRESSION SIMPLE, SONT EN BON ACCORD AVEC DES RESULTATS EXPERIMENTAUX (ESSAIS TRIAXIAUX REALISES PAR Y. CUI ET DELAGE AVEC UN SOL FIN). EN REVANCHE, UNE COMPARAISON ANALOGUE INFIRME LA VALIDITE DU CRITERE DE TYPE DRUCKER-PRAGUER POUR LE MATERIAU CONSIDERE. UN CALCUL TRANSITOIRE EFFECTUE AVEC DEUX FONCTIONS PERMEABILITE RELATIVE DIFFERENTES, MONTRE L'INFLUENCE DU CHOIX DU TENSEUR DE PERMEABILITE. LES POTENTIALITES DU CODE DE CALCUL DEVELOPPE SONT ILLUSTREES PAR DES APPLICATIONS A DES PROBLEMES DE MECANIQUE DES SOLS DIVERS (ENFONCEMENT D'UN OBJET DANS UN SOL SOUS-MARIN, STABILITE DE TALUS RENFORCES, FORCE PORTANTE D'UN SOL SOUMIS A DES SOLLICITATIONS SISMIQUES). LES RESULTATS OBTENUS SONT EN GENERAL SATISFAISANTS

Book excerpt: Earthen architecture constitutes one of the most diverse forms of cultural heritage and one of the most challenging to preserve. It dates from all periods and is found on all continents but is particularly prevalent in Africa, where it has been a building tradition for centuries. Sites range from ancestral cities in Mali to the palaces of Abomey in Benin, from monuments and mosques in Iran and Buddhist temples on the Silk Road to Spanish missions in California. This volume's sixty-four papers address such themes as earthen architecture in Mali, the conservation of living sites, local knowledge systems and intangible aspects, seismic and other natural forces, the conservation and management of archaeological sites, research advances, and training.

Book excerpt: The amazing scientist, mathematician, philosopher Émilie du Châtelet (1706-49) has widely been hailed as a rare female intellectual in the Enlightenment. At the same time, her own ideas and contributions remain largely unknown and her writings are rarely read. This is unfortunate, since she has interesting contributions to and explanations of physics, metaphysics, religion, translation, the equality of the sexes, and ethics.This book is a selection of du Châtelet's philosophical writings, in new English translations: -Foreword to "Foundations of Physics"-On the Principles of Our Knowledge (From "Foundations of Physics")-On the Existence of God (From "Foundations of Physics")-On Liberty-Translator's Preface to Mandeville's "Fable of the Bees"-On the Resurrection of the Dead (from "Examinations of the Bible")-On Happiness

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covers all the soil mechanics and foundation engineering topics that are commonly included in civil engineering degree courses, and provides a number of springboards into related advanced topics. Although it is intended principally to satisfy the needs of student civil engineers, this guide should also prove useful to those practicing engineers who are unaware of the powerful and elegant reconstruction of the subject which has been made possible by the recent concepts of plasticity, dilatancy and critical states.
Download or read book Precisions on the Present State of Architecture and City Planning written by Le Corbusier and published by Park Publishing (WI). This book was released on 2015-03 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coinciding with the 50th anniversary of his death (August 27, 2015), one of Le Corbusier's most significant books becomes available again in English. We are doing a reprint of MIT Press's first edition of 1991, which again is based on the original French version of 1930, with an introduction added by the author in 1960. While the MIT Press version had black-and-white illustrations throughout, Park Books' new edition features some of Le Corbusier's drawings in color as they were in the earlier French editions. A new essay by British scholar Tim Benton, written for this new edition, contextualizes the book within Le Corbusier's oeuvre and comments on its lasting significance. An also new appendix explains specialist terms and provides background information on persons and historic events no longer necessarily known to a younger generation of architects. The Precisions, as the book is known commonly, emerged from a spontaneous and exuberant series of 10 lectures Le Corbusier gave in Buenos Aires during the fall of 1929. As he spoke, Le Corbusier improvised drawings on large sheets of paper with crayons. While similar drawings appear in other works, here all the lectures and images appear in their original context as Le Corbusier assembled them more than 80 years ago. The texts reflect a new maturity in Le Corbusier's thinking and an extreme confidence in the development of his ideas. The drawings and lectures are unique in their eloquent and concise summary of his philosophy of architecture and urban design, stating the principles that informed his work from the 1920s on. They contain some of his most compelling aphorisms, both verbal and visual, covering technique as the basis of architecture, the human scale in design, furniture, the private house, apartments and office buildings, the city, the League of Nations competition, teaching architecture, and a splendid analysis of the transformation of his own work in houses from La Roche-Jeanneret to the Villa Savoye. [Based on MIT Press's copy for their 1991 edition]

Download or read book Enhanced Abutment Scour Studies for Compound Channels written by Terry W. Sturm and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experimental results and analyses are given in this report on bridge abutment scour in compound channels. Experiments were conducted in a laboratory flume with a cross section consisting of a wide floodplain adjacent to a main channel. The embankment length, discharge, sediment size, and abutment shape were varied, and the resulting equilibrium scour depths were measured. Water-surface profiles, velocities, and scour-hole contours were also measured. In the report, a methodology is developed for estimating abutment scour that takes into account the redistribution of discharge in the bridge contraction, abutment shape, sediment size, and tailwater depth. The independant variables in the proposed scour formula are evaluated at the approach-channel cross section and can be obtained froma one-dimensional water-surface profile computer program such as the Water-Surface Profile Program (WSPRO). The proposed scour evaluation procedure is outlined and illustrated, including consideration of the time required to reach equilibrium scour. The proposed methodology is applied to two cases of measured scour in the field.

Book excerpt: Taking an interdisciplinary approach, this volume brings together contributions by distinguished experts from different disciplinary fields for a multidimensional view on immersion in the visual arts and media. In the current media debate, immersion has frequently been linked to the advent of digital technology and its capacity to provide vivid sensations of being placed in or surrounded by an artificial space. The idea of ‘liquidity’ contained in this promise to plunge into another world informs wide areas of contemporary cultural imagination, referring to a myriad of phenomena that relate to experiences of uncertainty and instability, of complexity and change. Considering the fact, however, that the idea of ‘liquid’ spaces appeared long before the digital creation of augmented or virtual environments, the contributors to this volume trace its reemerging throughout the history of the visual arts and media. By focusing on selected works of painting and architecture, photography and cinema, video installation and media art, they explore the variability of immersive experiences according to the different media environments and interfaces that constitute the actual sites of historically shifting relations between media and users. Contributors are: Matthias Bauer, Jörg von Brincken, Robin Curtis, Burcu Dogramaci, Thomas Elsaesser, Ole W. Fischer, Gundolf S. Freyermuth, Ursula Frohne, Henry Keazor, Matthias Krüger, Katja Kwastek, Fabienne Liptay, Karl Prümm, Martin Warnke.
