QUICK ESTIMATION OF SEEPAGE DISCHARGE AND WATER LEVEL HEIGHT OUT OF THE CENTRAL CORE IN THE ZONED EARTH-FILL DAM

Quick Estimation of Seepage Discharge and Water Level Height Out Of the Central Core in the Zoned Earth-fill Dam

This paper relates to the investigation of the amount of seepage discharge and the water level height out of the central core in the zoned earth-fill dam using the finite element procedure by Geo Studio-SEEP/W software.The investigation models were carried out in two shapes of the central core, the rectangular and the wedge shapes, by 200 miscellan

Central autonomic network alterations in male endurance athletes

Abstract Physical exercise causes marked adjustments in brain function and the cardiovascular system.Brain regions of the so-called central autonomic network (CAN) are likely to show exercise-related alterations due to their involvement in cardiac control, yet exercise-induced CAN changes remain unclear.Here we investigate the effects of intensive

Investigation on the Properties of 3D Warp Interlock Fabrics Based on Moroccan Sisal Yarns as Reinforcement for Composite Materials

Despite the variability of Moroccan natural resources, few Moroccan natural fibers are exploited as natural textile composites.This study aims to investigate the characteristics of 3D warp interlock fabrics based on Moroccan sisal yarns.Before weaving, the characteristics of sisal yarns have been analyzed following Toys standards.Based on these nat
