Analysis of the Impact of Seabed Earthquakes on Coastal Structures and Foundation Design
Abstract: Earthquakes in the seabed occur with varying magnitudes. Seabed earthquakes cause a rapid rise in water levels, which can lead to flooding and structural damage. Therefore, when designing buildings near the seashore, it is essential to account for the additional load on columns due to water thrust. Earthquakes occurring at the seabed generate intense ground acceleration of varying magnitudes, significantly affecting water levels and inducing destructive flooding along coastal regions. …

Foundation of Building
Abstract: Recent trends in civil engineering underscore the importance of designing foundations that can withstand varying load conditions and environmental challenges. Selecting the appropriate foundation depth is critical for stability, particularly under intense loads. In regions with high rainfall, understanding maximum precipitation levels and water infiltration is vital. Water penetration into the soil can significantly reduce its load-bearing capacity, with saturation potentially lowering it by up to 50%. Foundations must also …

Determining the Optimal Thickness of Canal Lining for Enhanced Durability and Efficiency
Abstract: The thickness of canal lining plays a crucial role in preventing soil erosion caused by the thrust of water exerted in the canal due to standing water and the velocity of water flow. An optimally designed lining must be robust enough to withstand these forces while ensuring minimal seepage and maintaining the structural integrity of the canal. Various materials are used for canal lining, each with its own advantages and …

Analyzing Cavitation in Marine Propeller: A Computational Approach with Consideration for Polymer Applications
Abstract: A major source of noise and blade damage in marine propellers is because of the phenomenon of hydrodynamic cavitation. The Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis approach is employed for the prediction of the cavitating propeller’s performance characteristics under various conditions of operation with the advance coefficient (J) ranging from 0.55 to 0.91 and cavitation number (σ) in the range of 0.80 to 4.50. The numerical simulation is performed on INSEAN …
