The current study deals with the use of material waste such as fly ash as a fill material or replaced layer placed over an earthen slope and strip footing is placed over the slope in order to explore the benefits of using geogrid sheets to strengthen the fly ash layer and to investigate its effects on the load carrying capacity. Using Program PLAXIS-2D v8.2, the fly-ash sheet is positioned over an earthen slope with slope inclination of 3H:2V, and multiple type of models were investigated, to study the integration impact of geogrid-reinforcement layers on load carrying ability. For optimal improvement in load carrying ability, models have been tested to evaluate the best location, length and configuration of geogrid layers and top fly-ash layer depth. In order to evaluate the effect of one parameter in each sequence the other factors were kept constant. The sequence of findings was illustrated using PLAXIS-2D on the strip base in both strengthened and un-reinforced cases. Test findings demonstrate that inclusion of geogrid significantly enhances efficiency of slope and footing.
One of the top significant variables in management research and indicator of a successful organization is organizational performance. Organizational performance is the most important issue of profit and non-profit organizations (Singh & Kassa, 2016). The performance literally means the quality of work, so organizational performance is a comprehensive structure that refers to the organizational operation (Sadeghi, Ahmadi & Yazdi, 2016). The objective of any organization is not only to survive but also to sustain its existence by improving performance, to meet the needs of the highly competitive markets, thus organizations must continually increase improving performance (Arslan & Staub 2013).Organizational performance has been used widely as the most important criterion in evaluating organizations. However, researchers often pay little attention to what performance is and how it is measured (Caseiro & Coelho, 2019; Soltani, Zareie, Milani & Navimipour, 2018).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
