BEARING CAPACITY OF SINGLE PILE-FRICTION WHEEL COMPOSITE FOUNDATION ON SAND-OVER-CLAY DEPOSIT UNDER V-H-M COMBINED LOADINGS

Bearing Capacity of Single Pile-Friction Wheel Composite Foundation on Sand-over-Clay Deposit under V-H-M Combined Loadings

Sweatshirt This paper presents numerical modelling to investigate the bearing capacities and failure mechanisms of single pile-friction wheel composite foundation in sand-overlying-clay soil conditions under combined V-H-M (vertical-horizontal-moment) loadings.A series of detailed numerical models, with validations of centrifuge testing results, ar

YOLOv8-MPEB small target detection algorithm based on UAV images

Target detection in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) aerial images has gained significance within UAV application scenarios.However, UAV aerial images present challenges, including large-scale changes, small target sizes, complex scenes, and variable external factors, resulting in missed or false detections.This study proposes an algorithm for small t

Body Size Mediated Coexistence in Swans

Differences in body sizes may create a trade-off between foraging efficiency (foraging gains/costs) and access to resources.Such a trade-off provides a potential mechanism for ecologically similar species to coexist on one resource.We explored this hypothesis for tundra (Cygnus columbianus) and trumpeter swans Optics (Cygnus buccinator), a federall
