Keynote keynote /key·note/ (ke´not) in homeopathy, the characteristic property of a drug that indicates its use in treating a similar symptom of disease. papers cover three-dimensional slope stability analysis, and geosynthetic reinforced earth structures. Other topics include types of progressive failures by external force condition and their failure mechanisms, a distinct element method for analyzing structures under blast loading, and the global stability analysis of multi-tiered mechanically stabilized earth Mechanically stabilized earth or MSE is soil constructed with artificial reinforcing. It can be used for retaining walls, bridge abutments, dams, seawalls, and dikes. walls. ([c]20062005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR) |
