Numerical Investigation into the effects of cavities on stability of slopes and seepage through earth dams under rapid drawdown condition (2020)
Thesis
Alateya, H. Numerical Investigation into the effects of cavities on stability of slopes and seepage through earth dams under rapid drawdown condition. (Thesis). University of Salford

The stability of dams and natural slopes is a significant and interesting issue and one of the key challenges in the civil engineering field. Cavities forming under earth structures are problematic in the field of geotechnical engineering and may lea...

Behaviour of single batter piles and pile groups under lateral soil movement in sand
Thesis
Al-Salih, O. (in press). Behaviour of single batter piles and pile groups under lateral soil movement in sand. (Thesis). University of Salford

Piles are commonly subjected to induced loads from nearby construction activities such as approach embankments, excavation, tunnelling and moving slopes. To better understand the mechanism of this complicated soil-pile interaction problem, a comprehe...

Velocity distribution prediction in rectangular and compound channels under smooth and rough flow conditions
Thesis
Alawadi, W. (in press). Velocity distribution prediction in rectangular and compound channels under smooth and rough flow conditions. (Thesis). University of Salford

Many practical problems in river engineering require predictions of velocity distributions in single and compound open channels. In this study, velocity distributions in rectangular and compound open channels under different flow regimes, in terms of...
