This study evaluates the applicability of using a robust, novel, data-driven method in proposing surrogate models to predict maximum dry unit weight, optimum moisture content, and California be...

Abstract Most construction projects face the problem of a high percentage gypsum in soil. To get rid unwanted effects gypsum, which lead to dissolution presence water and settlement foundations buildings subsoil roads, researchers used several materials that can be added soil improve its properties resisting loads. This research presents study effect adding cement kiln dust (CKD) ground-granula...

Abstract Due to disposal issues, waste created by various agencies poses significant danger the environment. The purpose of this research is use industrial wastes stabilize geotechnical characteristics clayey soil, allowing composite be used as a sub-grade material. To make finest subgrade material, marble dust and polyester fiber (PF) are combined with clay soil in varied amounts. results expe...

In this study, fuzzy logic was implemented to formulate the fuzziness of layer boundaries for a two-layered clay soil. A field of two-layered clay with fuzzy boundaries between layers was generated, and then the bearing capacity of strip footing on this field was calculated by the assumption of plane-strain conditions. The Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion was used and bearing capacity calculation...

Rover-mounted geotechnical systems are of paramount importance to lunar trafficability assessment, construction, and excavation/mining toward establishing permanent human presence on the Moon. These tools can also be used to determine density, when the regolith is used as radiation shield, for example. Two popular insitu devices for establishing geotechnical properties of soil are the Static Co...

Pavement maintenance and rehabilitation have been neglected in Nigeria for a very long time and has resulted to maintenance backlog. Design agencies in Nigeria still use California Bearing Ratio (CBR), even though the method is outdated. An introduction of Dynamic Cone Penetration Test (DCPT) was pertinent, even though the method is relatively old in some developed countries, it has not gain mu...

The loose sand is subject to large settlement when it exposed high stresses. This due the nature of drainage sand, which displays foundations and constructions a danger. densification sandy soils required provide sufficient bearing capacity for structures. Thus soil stabilization used avoid failure in facilities. Traditional methods stabilized such as fly ash, bituminous, cement often require a...

In this study, dynamic bearing capacity of adjacent shallow strip foundations located on sandy soil was examined using a numerical finite difference modeling, FLAC. The behavioral interference of shallow strip foundations under different conditions was investigated. The effect of soil strength parameters, geometric characteristics of shallow foundations and cyclic loads at different distance ra...

Abstract Coal is responsible for the generation of around 38 percent power that used throughout entire planet. In last two decades, there has been a rise in number chances recycling and usage fly ash from coal combustion due to its hydrophobic cementitious properties. However, still limited commercialization (CFA) road construction. The focus this research determine bearing capacity CFA-treated...
