Below-grade waterproofing systems can be critical features of building enclosure design, particularly when the structure has a deep foundation. As the foundation goes deeper, there is a greater ...

His current work is conducted in avenues of basic research relevant to granular material behavior as well as applicable research related to pile design and construction. The basic research ...

Yusuff Saidat, a mathematician and researcher, has made a groundbreaking discovery in foundation analysis, developing a novel method for pile foundation design that takes into account the complex ...

An optimal coal pile design takes into account the site-specific (and often conflicting) needs of a new power plant early in its design — rather than using whatever land is available after the plant ...
