Despite the construction industry in Pakistan being heavily labour intensive -- due to the cheap cost of labour itself -- the workmanship found in the industry is of a low standard, and skilled labour, who have received ...

Laterally loaded piles are piles subjected to lateral and axial loads but axial loads are ignored for analytical simplicity. Several models exist for the analysis of single laterally loaded piles. The objective of this ...

Machine Learning, an effective tool, is being utilized in geotechnical engineering owing to the amount of data generated in the past. This work utilizes a machine learning based framework to identify a suitable density ...

Casagrande plasticity chart (CPC) based on liquid limit (LL) and plasticity index (PI) is used for classifying fine-grained soils. Fine soil is defined as a material having a size less than 0.075 mm (passed sieve #200) in ...

Determination of bearing capacity of soil is paramount for the design of foundations. There are several analytical methods available for the computation of bearing capacity. Only the shear criterion for bearing capacity ...

The pavement subgrade acts as foundation for a pavement structure. The life and performance of a pavement structure is greatly dependent on the strength properties of subgrade layer. It is common for pavement engineers ...

For deep excavations, a retention system is mandatory not only for the safety of surrounding structures, but also for safe and proper execution of construction work within the parameter. This document serves as a comprehensive ...

The construction of pile foundation is a sphere in civil engineering in which there may be at the design, Construction, installation and loading stage, a considerable no of factors on which limited data may be available. ...

Pile foundation is one of the most commonly used types of deep foundations provided when the required bearing capacity of the soil is not achieved through shallow foundations. Comparatively, the pile foundation is more ...

Index properties play an important role in classifying soil regarding their engineering properties. To find these properties tests were initially given by Atterberg, and introduced by Terzaghi in soil mechanics. For every ...
