Slope-stability analysis is one of the parameters in the design of road embankments that the designer must consider in order to ensure stable and safe construction. The technical standards recommend slopes to heights of 12 m, depending on the soil types and the topography. In the present work, the limit equilibrium methods (Fellenius, Bishop, Janbu, Morgensten-Price) and the finite element method are used to determine the safety factor of road embankments for different slopes flanking the road. Five embankment heights were simulated: 6 m, 12 m, 18 m, 24 m, and 30 m. The dataset compiled can be used for modeling embankments.
El presente artículo presenta un estudio de la influencia de las dimensiones del subdominio en el estado tenso-deformacional de terraplenes viales. Su objetivo principal es determinar la distancia más aconsejable desde el pie de talud hasta la condición de frontera empleando como herramienta fundamental la modelación numérica y realizando un diseño de experimento 33 para cumplir con el mismo. Este trabajo ofrece recomendaciones para el empleo de diferentes condiciones de contorno al variar las pendientes de los taludes en problemas relacionados con la modelación de terraplenes de obras viales.
Cuando se construye un terraplén carretero, una de las variables analizadas en el diseño es la obtención del factor de seguridad para determinar la estabilidad y seguridad de los taludes. Este diseño se realiza haciendo uso de un análisis estático y, en casos más específicos y aislados haciendo un análisis sísmico. En el presente trabajo se realiza un estudio del comportamiento del factor de seguridad en taludes de terraplenes carreteros altos frente a la solicitación sísmica. Para llevar a cabo el presente estudio se realizó un diseño de experimento 32. En el diseño de experimento se varió la altura del terraplén en tres niveles y el nivel de sismicidad, construyendo acelerogramas a partir de los espectros de diseño considerando los parámetros de la sección 3.1 del Manual de diseño de obras civiles de la comisión federal de electricidad de México. En la obtención de los resultados se empleó el método de los elementos finitos (MEF) y el método de Newmark. Como herramienta computacional se empleó el software especializado Geo-Studio con el sub-módulo para el análisis dinámico QUAKE/W, y el sub-módulo para el análisis de estabilidad SLOPE/W. Los resultados obtenidos muestran la necesidad de revisar estas obras frente al sismo sobre todo en zonas de sismicidad alta cuando su altura supere los 12 m.
Spiral ties with rectangular cross sections have been developed as a new technology in construction, reducing the workforce in the reinforcement production series, because the worker does not have to place the tie reinforcement for the columns on the construction site. In this paper, a new type of tie was evaluated in short tie-columns subjected to axial compression to be applied in confined masonry. A comparison was made in this paper among spiral ties, with circular and rectangular cross sections, and traditional closed ties. The main aim of this research is to prove that these rectangular cross-section spiral ties can be used in tie columns for confined masonry structures. Twenty-one specimens were tested to investigate their structural behavior. As a part of the results, maximum loads, strains, load-displacement curves, and stress-strain relationships, were obtained based on testing standards, for both specimens and component materials. In addition, the fracture energy in compression and the ductility index were assessed. These results demonstrate that spiral ties with rectangular cross sections have an efficient structural response compared to traditional and circular spiral ties.
This paper presents a new analytical method for obtaining new deformations compatibility equations or, new Saint-Venant’s identities, into the relative coordinate system with projected deformations by applying the hypothesis of the lineal shell theory in general flexion state. The method proposed generalizes the compatibility conditions established by A.L. Goldenveizer for the shell theory. On the other hand, the new equations include the deformations compatibility equations by other authors: Flügge, Saint-Venant, Love-Kirchhoff, Timoshenko, Goldenveizer, and Reissner-Mindlin. The results showed an increase of knowledge in general shell theory, and provide inverse and semi-inverse solutions, whose systems solution correspond to the hyper-statics degrees of the physical model, and not to their degrees of freedom.
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.
