Lateral Resistance

Owing to shear stresses induced in the foundation soils by the vertical eccentric foxm-dation load, the magnitude of horizontal load that the foundation soils can sustain may decrease witii an increase in vertical load. This fact must be recognized when computing and evaluating sliding resistance by the simplified procedures described below. 

When the foundation is subjected to a horizontal load, there are at least three potential modes of sliding failure. The failure mode that develops depends primarily on the skirt height, the spacing and orientation of skirt elements, the net vertical foundation load, and 

If the skirts are fully penetrated, the failure mode will be a passive wedge failure with some additional resistance due to the friction or adhesion acting on the end of the area of the skirts. 

2 Deep Passive Failure Once the net vertical load exceeds some critical value, which varies with the skirt and soil conditions, the upward movement of the failure wedge beneath the mat is not possible. When this condition occurs the failure may extend below each skirt. When the passive failure develops without an upward mat movement, the passive resistance of the skirts may be computed using the concept of lateral resistance of piles (Matlock, 1970 API RP2A, 2000).

The drill collar acts as a series of elongated electrodes in a way similar to the laterolog 3 wireline sonde. The lower electrode, which is the drill bit, is used to get the forward resistivity curve. A lateral resistivity measurement is made between the two toroid receivers. An example of toroid logs is shown in Figure 4-279. 

The combined results demonstrate the complexity of the system. Cross-linking must include kinetic contributions to the lateral resistance that are similar to those observed in the networks, but a combination of structural and dynamic factors is likely responsible for the signihcant but opposite effects from kinetically dissimilar cross-links. Stimulus-responsive polymer brush layers hold great potential (Minko et al. 2000 Motornov et al. 2003 Granville et al. 2004 Kaholek et al. 2004a,... 

The (presumed lateral) resistance of the films was ca. 10 O, which decreased 4-5 orders of magnitude after annealing at 350°C.

EN/IEC 61646 certification. The lateral resistance tends to increase, giving rise to fill factor losses. It is therefore mandatory to optimize ZnO preparation not only with respect to the as-grown properties but also by taking into account the degradation in damp heat (see Sect. 9.4). 

The Wenner array should not be used unless the expected ground conditions are fairly simple. The Schlumberger array is less sensitive to lateral resistivity variations. 

The method closely related to voltammetry is voltohmmetry, which is based on the fact that the lateral resistance of a thin metal film depends on the presence or absence of interacting species at its surface. Resistance measurements show a specific selectivity in the electrode potentials, and magnitude of resistance change depends linearly on analyte concentrations in solution from p.p.b. to p.p.m. range.58 This method is alternative for voltammetry, not only for heavy metals determinations, but also for nonelectroactive species that can be deposited or dissolved under defined potential of resistance. 

Fruit rot (Botrytis cinera) showed resistance against benomyl in 1971 or earlier, and a few years later resistance was observed in brown rot (Monilinia laxa and Monilinia fructicola). The benomyl-resistant biotypes had cross-resistance to thiophanate-methyl, fuberidazole, and thiabendazole (e.g., Dekker, 1972 Georgopoulos and Zaracovitis, 1967). 

Early attempts to control smallpox included inoculation with material from smallpox lesions. This practice, known as variolization, caused severe cases of smallpox in about 1 in 200 inoculations.84 In 1796, Jenner noted that milkmaids were free of the facial scars that marked most of the population during the smallpox epidemics of that time. The observation that they cannot take smallpox was attributed to the localized pox lesions that they developed on their hands. Jenner reasoned that infectious material (which he dubbed a virus ) from cowpox lesions provided protection from smallpox, and used it to vaccinate an 8-year-old boy. The boy later resisted variolation, demonstrating that an animal poxvirus that is not virulent for humans could be used as a potent vaccine against smallpox.85...

Found case where lateral resistance of pile was inadequate because of liquefaction of surficial material Numerous dam failures occiured. Typical Moriya and slopes were 2.5-3.5 l for greater than 30-ft Kawaguchi dams and 1.5-2.5 1 for less than 30-ft (1970)... 

These structures are highly anisotropic with respect to their electrical conductivity. There is a difFerence of about 12 orders of magnitude in the conductivities of metallic Cu and CU2O. This difFerence is manifested in both the lateral (parallel to the layers) and perpendicular conductivities of the alternating layers. The lateral resistivity varied from 10 " f2-cm for very Cu rich samples to >10 f2-cm for Cu-poor ones. In particular, at a Cu concentration >9.8 vol%, the resistivity decreased suddenly, typical of a percolation process. The resistivity in the perpendicular direction was much larger than that in the lateral one for reasonably Cu-rich samples (ratios of >10 ). No less important is the fact that...

Analyses on the foundations for Abutments A and B were also carried out. The lateral earth pressure on piles was calculated using stress distribution behind piles proposed by Tschebotarioff (1973) as shown in Figure 12.14. Since the spacing of piles was about three times the width of the pile, the group of piles and soil can be assumed to act as a unit. The ultimate lateral resistance, Ru was calculated using assumption of Poulos Davis (1980) that assumed 4 5 at the surface, increasing to a constant value of 9Su at three times the width of the pile. The critical height of...

In situ FTIR " also had to overcome serious difficulties in its application to electrochemical problems. Unlike ellipsometry, where the wavelengths used are in a region of low solvent absorbance, IR is strongly absorbed by most familiar organic solvents and most particularly by water. This leads inevitably either to thin-layer cells or the development of internal reflection techniques. The former has the advantage of simplicity in interpreting spectral data, but it severely limits the type of electrochemistry that can be carried out. The latter requires not only a suitable high-refractive index substrate, such as Ge or Si, but also an adherent very thin layer of metal as the electrode. Technically this is difficult to fabricate so that the metal layer is continuous, and a substantial lateral resistance is inevitable. 

Figure 7.6 shows the relation between the wall lateral displacement and lateral resistance for all different levels of axial load. From the curves shown in Fig. 7.6, it can be seen that the walls exhibit high ductility when the axial pre-compression is small. This ductility decreases as the pre-compression stress increases and the walls... 

The behavior of the concrete masonry wall is noted to be very similar to that observed in the brick masonry waU (Fig. 7.6).
