Three different problems are also described in the current paper i.e. the effect of faulting on buried pipes, segmental tunnels as well as shallow foundations. Effect of embedment depth as well as pipe type are investigated in the first study. In the second set of tests the performance of shallow foundations with different embedment depths and different contact pressures were studied. In the third study the behavior of segmental tunnels against faulting were the main subject. Interesting behavior of these tunnels are described and all failure mechanisms are introduced.
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.
