The purpose of this paper aims for a geotechnical analysis based on experimental physical and mechanical characteristics of Miocene marl situated at Medea region in Algeria. More than 150 soil samples were taken in the investigation part of the North-South Highway which extends over than 53 km from Chiffa in the North to Berrouaghia in the South of Algeria. The analysis of data in terms of Atte...

This research paper presents a compendium of the geotechnical sub-soil data profiling and zoning of the major urban settlements of Peshawar using Geographic Information System. Significant geotechnical properties of the under study area soils i.e., Zone 5 & 6 in Peshawar were assessed through one hundred and three different standard penetration test reports up to the depth of 1 m and 3 m. The q...

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...

This paper deals with use of pond ash and RBI Grade 81 for improvement in CBR values of clayey soil and grade-III materials used for base course of flexible pavement. The pond ash is a thermal power plant waste and RBI Grade 81 is chemical soil stabilizer. The geotechnical properties like Maximum Dry Density (MDD), Optimum Moisture Content (OMC), Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS), CBR value...

The shortage of waste landfill space for waste disposal and the high demand for fill materials for land reclamation projects in Singapore have prompted a study on the feasibility of using spent copper slag as fill material in land reclamation. The physical and geotechnical properties of the spent copper slag were first assessed by laboratory tests, including hydraulic conductivity and shear str...

This paper considers the uncertainties in geotechnical parameters of earth fill structures, s pecifically their spatial variability. The use of random field theory will be introduced, in conjunction with the stochastic finite element method, to describe and m odel the uncertainty in geotechnical properties of compacted soil masses. The paper focuses on the imp ortance of the use of conditional ...

The black cotton soil is a type of problematic expansive soil which causes many problems in the construction of structures founded on them. It is having a swelling and impervious nature with poor geotechnical subgrade characteristics. In this research an approach is made towards the way of improvement in the various geotechnical properties of black cotton soil such as index properties, swelling...
