Effect of Cracking on the Response of Pile Test under Horizontal Loading
(2009)Capacity-based design of structures limits the soil-structure interaction mechanism to the determination of the bearing capacity of a pile group. However, in many cases the criterion for the design of piles to resist lateral ... -
The effect of land parameters on vegetation performance and degree of erosion under Mediterranean conditions
(2000)Important land parameters such as soil texture, soil depth, topography, parent material, and climatic conditions were studied in a semi-detailed soil survey conducted in the island of Lesvos, and were related to the ... -
Effects from diaphragm wall installation to surrounding soil and adjacent buildings
(2013)A new approach for simulating the excavation and construction of subsequent panels is proposed to investigate the effects from the installation of diaphragm walls on the surrounding and adjacent buildings. The method has ... -
Evaluation of a statistical downscaling procedure for the estimation of climate change impacts on droughts
(2009)Despite uncertainties in future climates, there is considerable evidence that there will be substantial impacts on the environment and human interests. Climate change will affect the hydrology of a region through changes ... -
Evaluation of ASCE-41, ATC-40 and N2 static pushover methods based on optimally designed buildings
(2011)Alternative static pushover methods for the seismic design of new structures are assessed with the aid of advanced computational tools. The current state-of-practice static pushover methods as suggested in the provisions ... -
Evaluation of negative skin friction effects in pile foundations using 3D nonlinear analysis
(2005)The aim of this paper is to evaluate the influence of negative skin friction in pile foundations. Three dimensional nonlinear analyses for a single pile and pile groups were carried out for a specific case and some case ... -
Examining urban sprawl in Europe using spatial metrics
(2015)Urbanisation is a global phenomenon with an important impact on the quality of human life. Europe has been widely affected by urbanisation. One of the main characteristics of urban growth is sprawl, a negative form of urban ... -
Explicit extension of the p-y method to pile groups in cohesive soils
(2013)Although simplified numerical methods are reliable for evaluating the response of a single pile under horizontal load, their application is questionable for assessing the response of pile groups. The notion of "p-y" curves ... -
Factors affecting the distribution of potentially toxic elements in surface soils around an industrialized area of northwestern Greece
(2012)In order to investigate the factors influencing the distribution of 32 potentially toxic elements in the Ptolemais-Kozani basin, northwestern Greece, 38 soil samples were collected and analyzed. Concentrations of Al, Ca, ... -
FEATURES OF FROST-AFFECTED AREAS FROM DIGITAL METEOSAT IR IMAGES
(1995)Frost is a natural hazard, which may cause significant damage to agriculture depending also on the phenological stage of the affected crops. In this paper, several features of the frost-affected areas are examined by using ... -
Finite element analysis of buried steel pipelines under strike-slip fault displacements
(2010)The present paper investigates the mechanical behavior of buried steel pipelines, crossing an active strike-slip tectonic fault The fault is normal to the pipeline direction and moves in the horizontal direction, causing ... -
Flood frequency estimation by a derived distribution procedure
(2002)An event rainfall-runoff simulation procedure based on the method of derived distributions is proposed for the estimation of flood frequency for ungauged watersheds. The procedure uses a stochastic rainfall generation model ... -
Flood producing mechanisms identification in southern British Columbia, Canada
(2000)The causes of peak flows in two climatically different mountainous-forested basins of British Columbia have been identified. The U.B.C. watershed model was used to identify the causes of peak flows, since this model ... -
From Byzantine to post-Byzantine art: the painting technique of St Stephen's wall paintings at Meteora, Greece
(2008)The old katholikon of St Stephen's monastery at the Meteora (site of the most important complex of monasteries in Greece after Mount Athos) is decorated with wall paintings that date from the beginning of 17th century. In ... -
A geographical information system managing geotechnical data for Athens (Greece) and its use for automated seismic microzonation
(2008)This article presents a geographical information system (GIS) which manages geotechnical data obtained from detailed geotechnical surveys as well as from in situ observations in Athens, Greece. Thoroughly examined data ... -
GIS-based weather radar siting procedure in mountainous terrain
(2010)This paper describes a weather radar siting procedure for a mountainous region in Greece using GIS. The established radar siting objectives consist of the detection and tracking of storms (rainstorms, hailstorms, and ... -
IMAS-Fish: Integrated Management System to support the sustainability of Greek Fishery resources. A multidisciplinary web-based database management system: implementation, capabilities, utilization and future prospects for fisheries stakeholders
(2013)This article describes in detail the "IMAS-Fish" web-based tool implementation technicalities and provides examples on how it can be used for scientific and management purposes, setting new standards in fishery science. ...
