based on pseudo-static approach. Results indicate that the stability of the embankment is underestimated in the conventional approach that uses axial pull. 1. INTRODUCTION Stability is a concern for embankments on soft ground because of the low strength of the foundation soil. A layer of geosynthetics material extending for the full width of the embankment is provided in basal reinforced embankments at the interface of the embankment and ground. The basal reinforcement resists some or all of

Graham 2.7.2012 Aerobics Dance The Importance of Aerobics Aerobics has always been a beneficial activity for the body. It is a form of physical exercise that combines rhythmic aerobic exercise and strength training routines with the goal of improving all elements of fitness. It aids muscular strength‚ flexibility and the cardiovascular system through vigorously raising your heart rate and delivering more oxygen to your large muscles. It has been known to prevent illness and promotes physical fitness

Increased Muscle Tone and Strength Did you guys ever see a flabby dolphin or a weak-looking competitive swimmer? We didn’t think so. That’s because swimming is a great way to increase muscular strength and muscle tone -- especially compared to several other aerobic exercises. Take running‚ for example. When a jogger takes few laps around the track‚ that jogger

Isotonic uses your muscles to compress against an object with movement‚ like strength training. Stronger muscles‚ stronger bones and preventing injuries are just some of the benefits of isotonic exercises. Contracting your muscles against

■» Marked by Teachers This document was downloaded from www.markedbyteachers.com Abstract The tensile test is widely used to provide basic design information on the strength of materials and as an acceptance test for the specification of materials. The teaching and learning of tensile testing was based on laboratory experiments used in the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory (CM180) at the City University. The experiment looked at how the microstructure of a material can affect its properties
