Steepening Pit Walls- Geotechnical and Economic Implications
Abstract: Current approach to pit-wall analysis tends to separate designs into distinct categories. The first consideration involves analysis of slope in which discontinuities actively participate in the failure mobilization. The second involves design analysis of non-structural controls which could results in a wide range of failure mechanisms. The third and the least sought for approach is the economic assessment of the slope design which could render optimized pit slope and the …

Dynamic Behaviour of Steel-Concrete Composite Bridge under Moving Loads
Abstract: Composite structure is a structure which is constructed using multiple dissimilar materials. The construction is called composite when two different types of materials are strongly bond together to act as a single unit. For a composite bridge deck a reinforced concrete slab is placed on the steel plate girder to form a complete structure. Use of composite structure has widely grown in the 21st century. This paper gives the brief …
