Thus, for both the ionic and the dipolar systems, the actual use of the rigorously derived Ewald summation for slab systems loads to a substantial increase in computer time. One way of dealing with this problem would be to employ precalculated tables [252] for potential energies (and forces) on a three-dimensional spatial grid amended by a suitable interpolation scheme. Another strategy is to employ approximate methods such as the one presented in the subsequent Section 6.3.2. 

For both situations, we calculate the (dimensionless) dipolar energy per particle, a Ux)/fj, N, via the slab-adapted three-dimensional Ewald sum [see Eq. (6.44)] and with the rigorous Ewald method for dipolar slab systems... 

Figure 6.2 Dimensionless energy per particle for dipolar crystalline (fee) slabs as a function of the number of lattice layers, assuming perfect order along the ar-axis (a) and along the z-axis (b). Included are results from direct summation (O), the rigorous Ewald sum for slab systems (A) (sec Appendix F.3.1.2], and the slab-adapted three-dimensional Ewald sum (x) [see Eq. (6.44)j. Part (b) additionally includes results from the latter method when the correction term [see Eq. (6.43)) is neglected ( ).

However, the potential (r ) related to p (r ) differs from its bulk counterpart [see Eq. (6.14)] because the basic simulation cell of the current slab system is repeated in only two (of the three) spatial dimensions. Nevertheless, we can still apply our basic strategy detailed in Appendix F.1.1.2 to find the explicit expression for (r ). 

The precise voltage and time required to obtain optimal separations will depend on the nature of the samples and the type of gel used, but several hours at a few hundred volts are generally required. On the completion of the electrophoresis, the gel is removed from the column and processed in the same manner as the gel run on the horizontal slab system.

One-control-point approach In this approach, the rigid body motion assumption is made for the floor slab system as shown in Figure 4(a). The rotational DOF at this control point will generate a linear variation in vertical displacement at all nodes along the ith floor. The constraint equations for both upper wall to lower wall and inter-storey lower wall interfaces are derived using Equation (4). The control point reaction forces are computed from the stress resultants at all of the nodes through equilibrium conditions as evaluated by Equation (5). 

Each shortcrete layer has steel wire mesh and some strengthening rebar near the soil nail anchoring location providing the reinforcements. The whole system depends on the tension capacity of the soil nails and concrete face layers acting as a multiple span two-way slab system. Differential settlement is not a particularly sensitive issue for typical soil nail walls. 

The temporary face slab system needs to be checked with flexure and punching shear strength. Then, the final face slab system needs to be checked in a sirnilar manner but with different strength factors. 

The most popular simplified analysis procedure shall assume the face slab as independent one-way slab system in each direction. Considering the un-uniform soil pressure distribution behind face slab, the adjustment factors Cj and Cj shall be used for the flexure and shear cases, respectively. Most design... 

The typical shotcrete face slab system should include adequate drainage behind the face slab in order to alleviate the hydrostatic pressure. 

In general the Laplacian operator involves all three spatial coordinates, but we will be concerned mainly with systems where the symmetry allows this diffusion term to be written as a function of a single spatial coordinate. We begin with a 1-D (slab) system in Section 4 we will consider 2-D (circle) and...
