Düşük dayanıma sahip killerin dayanımlarını artırmak amacıyla yapılan ve stabilizasyon olarak adlandırılan güçlendirme işlemlerinde farklı katkı malzemeleri kullanılmaktadır. Bu malzemelerden en yaygın kullanılanları ise fiberlerdir. Son yıllarda, maliyetlerinin düşük, dayanımlarının yüksek kolay ulaşılabilir olmalarından dolayı zeminlerin güçlendirilmesinde fiberlerin kullanılması, geleneksel ...

Conventionally, many researchers have used both regression and black box techniques to estimate the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of different rocks. The advantage of the regression approach is that it can be used to render a functional relationship between the predictive rock indices and its UCS. The advantage of the black box techniques is in rendering more accurate predictions. Gene ...

The major decision in construction process involves the selection of suitable site with best soil conditions, as structure resides in the soil. Most problematic soils like expansive soils hardly proved to be the best engineering subgrade profile for pavement constructions. Thus, this has undeniably led to the soil improvement options accompanying the reduction in resource depletion and solid wa...

Cement stabilized soil is one of the commonly used as ground reinforcement solutions in geotechnical engineering. In this study, main object was to apply three machine learning (ML) methods namely gradient boosting (GB), artificial neural network (ANN) and support vector (SVM) predict unconfined compressive strength (UCS) cement soil. Soil samples were collected at Hai Duong city, Vietnam. A to...

waste tires, rubbers, plastic and steel materials, normally produced in every society, enter the environment and cause serious problems. these problems may, to some extent, be reduced by finding applications for them in engineering, for example, they can be used for geotechnical applications as backfill material and solving problems with low shear strength soils. such materials may be subjected...

The objective of this study was to investigate the compressive strength parallel to the grain of bamboo scrimber during and after exposure to various temperatures, in a range from 20 to 225 °C. These data were used to provide a basis for the evaluation of the fire performance of bamboo structures. A total of 152 specimens, assembled as group "during-fire" and "post-fire", were tested during and...
