Geophysical methods for monitoring soil stabilization processes

Determination of Dynamic Soil Properties Using Geophysical Methods

The analysis of foundation vibrations and geotechnical earthquake engineering problems in civil engineering requires characterization of dynamic soil properties using geophysical methods. Dynamic structural analysis of the superstructures also requires knowledge of the dynamic response of the soilstructure, which, in turn relies on dynamics soil properties. Machine vibrations, blasting and seis...

Monitoring of Water Leakages from Pipes through Geophysical Imaging Methods

Statistical Methods for Monitoring Service Processes

Introduction Statistical process control (SPC) has been widely used as an aid for managing manufacturing processes. Many books have been published which outline the basics of SPC (e.g. Feigenbaum, 1983; Juran, 1975; Oakland and Followell, 1990), and organizations such as the Ford Motor Company (1986) have also published their own guides. The underlying problem which statistical process control ...

Geophysical Phenomena and Processes

The physical description in itself can be based on the kind of coupling being involved (i.e., thermal, gravitational, electromagnetic, or by matter exchange). Gravitational coupling is related to celestial mechanics and tidal deformation. Thermal coupling is ultimately concerned with energy balance. Matter exchange is concerned with the interaction between contiguous systems, and particularly i...

Stabilization of Subgrade Soil for Highway by Recycled Polyester Fiber

Subgrade soil stabilization is one of the primary and major processes in the construction of any highway; also environmental authorities are concerned about the growing amount of polyethylene (PET) bottles produced by household sectors. This research in order to study effect of adding recycled polyester fiber on soil engineering properties, especially shear strength and California Bearing Ratio...
