In the case of problematic soils and tall buildings where the design requirements cannot be satisfied merely by a raft foundation, it is of common practice to improve the raft performance by adding a number of piles so that the ultimate load capacity and settlement behavior can be enhanced. In this study, the effect of spatial variability of soil parameters on the bearing capacity of piled raft...

Based on long term investigations of the microstructure various geomaterials as different sensitive low plastic clays from Eastern Canada, unsaturated compacted silt Paris area, highly compressible deep marine clay gulf Guinea, MX80 bentonite and Callovo–Oxfordian claystone, considered possible barriers in geological radioactive waste disposal, two fundamentals distinct nano micro mechanisms go...

The paper deals with the influence of soil genesis on the physical-mechanical properties. The presented case study was conducted in the region of the Ostrava Basin where there is a varied genetic composition of the Quaternary geological structure on the underlying Neogeneous sediments which are sediments of analogous granulometry but different genesis. In this study, 7827 soil samples of an eol...

The paper presents a description of the dynamic properties of cohesive material, namely silty clays, obtained by using one of the applied seismology methods, the bender elements technique. The authors’ aim was to present the dynamics of a porous medium, in particular an extremely important passage of seismic waves that travel through the bulk of a medium. Nowadays, the application of the bender...

With the development of industrialization, soils around world have been polluted by heavy metals and oil to different degrees in recent years, soil remediation has become a global problem. Phytoremediation wide application prospect because its environmental friendliness easy availability materials. Objective To explore effects types root exudates on removal cadmium petroleum hydrocarbon soils. ...
