For an uncrushable material, dEs/dW is a measure of the shear stiffness, which keeps decreasing until the peak stress ratio is reached, where dEs/dW is equal to zero.
When the material is crushable, the strain energy build-up is disrupted by one more energy dissipation mechanism — particle breakage, which is independent from the friction dissipation.

After the analysis, the key factors include the masonry material strength, reinforcement of crest slab and concrete strength, which affect the vertical bearing capacity.
Based on the acquired the material strength, the number of steel bars, effective section area, member size and so on, the resistance values of the bearing members are also calculated.

International Roughness Index Prediction for Rigid Pavements: An Artificial Neural Network Application Ragaa Abd El-Hakim 1,a, Sherif El-Badawy 2, b 1Assistant professor, Faculty of Engineering, Delta University for Science and Technology, Gamasa, Egypt. 2Assistant professor, Public Works Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, Mansoura University, Mansoura 35116, Egypt.
MEPDG IRI Predictive Model for JPCP The MEPDG model for predicting IRI of JPCP pavements is shown in Eq. 3 [6]: IRI = IRII + 0.013*TC + 0.007*SPALL+ 0.005*PATCH + 0.0015*TFAUL + 0.45*SF (3) Where, IRII = initial smoothness measured as IRI, m/km; TC = percentage of slabs with transverse cracking (all severities); SPALL = percentage of joints with spalling (all severities); PATCH = pavement surface area with flexible and rigid patching (all severities), percent; TFAULT = total joint faulting cumulated per km, mm; and SF = site factor (Eq. 4) SF= Age*(1+FI)*(1+P200)/1000000 (4) Where, Age = pavement age in years; FI = freezing index, oC days; and P200 = percent subgrade material passing the 0.075-mm sieve.

With the development of technology and the application of relevant new materials, the voltage of transmission line and the height of the transmission tower is becoming increasingly higher, which means the tower is easier to be affected by the lightning overvoltage and the spread of the wave in the tower is more complicated.
