This paper investigates the effect of different geometries approach embankments and guides banks on flow pattern bed shear stress values in skewed bridges compound channel using three-dimensional numerical modelling. First, model was evaluated based results existing laboratory studies. After ensuring its proper performance, elliptical guide bank three types abutments: vertical-wall, spill-throu...

The goal of this study was to assess the effect of the different habitats on rodent diversity, and to estimate the effect of changes in land use on the rodent abundance through different possible scenarios. We sampled poultry farms, human houses, riparian habitats, railway embankments, woodlots, pasture, crop fields and their borders. The habitats with highest frequency of captures were poultry...

Fly ash and granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) are major by-products of thermal and steel plants, respectively. These materials often cause disposal problems and environmental pollution. Detailed laboratory investigations were carried out on cement stabilized fly ash-(GBFS) mixes in order to find out its suitability for road embankments, and for base and sub-base courses of highway pavements....

Searching for economical and practical solutions to increase any transport substructure’s protection stability is critical ensuring the long-term viability adequate load-bearing capacity. Piles are increasingly being used as an environmentally sustainable solution enhance strength of soft subgrade soils on which embankments raised. As per available literature, there two main strategies explain ...

Settlement calculations in serviceability limit state (SLS) design of embankments require the estimation characteristic values soil properties to account for different sources uncertainty. The upcoming revised version EN 1997-1:2004 (Eurocode 7) presents a statistically based equation determine with aim providing more consistent safety margin. this study is quantify margin settlement using and ...
