Pile foundations support structures by transferring loads to deep sub-surface strata, designed to
bear the maximum design load without failure. Recent studies are focused on developing
innovative models to estimate the ...
Due to rapid increase in construction activities over the past few decades, the importance
of ground improvement techniques has increased manifold. Ground improvement
techniques are numerous but the basic aim is to ...
Clays have a tendency to undergo volumetric changes on their interaction with water.
These soils are a very common reason for most of the foundation failures due to their degraded
properties like low shear strength, ...
ABSTRACT
Live capacity of Tarbela reservoir has threatened due to high sediment inflow. More than one-third of the volume of Tarbela reservoir has filled with sediment delta composed of low-plastic silt and silty sand ...
Research studies show that fungal-based microbial-induced calcite precipitation (MICP)
extensively enhances the strength behaviour of concrete materials. However, fungal-based
MICP's effectiveness in silty clay has not ...
Microbial-induced calcium carbonate (MICP) mineral precipitation is a fairly new and innovative technique in soil stabilization. MICP was originally applied to coarse grained soil with success. The use of MICP in the ...
A million tons of concrete are thrown away in the environment after the demolition of civil structures, each year. Similarly, polyethylene terephthalate is extensively used in plastic bottles, which is also discarded in ...
The utilization of industrial post-consumer waste products has been increasing over the previous century. The representation fraction of cardboard is huge in the generated municipal solid waste. Replacing uses for recycling ...
A bio-inspired technology called enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation (EICP) aims to improve the geo-mechanical characteristics of soils by causing calcium carbonate to precipitate. The creation of calcium carbonate, a ...
One of the emerging problems of the modern day is the safe disposal of expanded polystyrene
(EPS) waste and the successful recycling of it. The engineering properties of mixing coarsegrained non-plastic soils with various ...
Expansive soil is a problematic soil. It has properties of expansion, shrinkage,
plasticity and low bearing capacity, which makes them inadequate for use in
construction. Two industrial wastes, Calcium carbide residue ...
Industrial waste significantly harmed the environment and natural ecosystems at the same
time that industrialization revolutionized production and living standards. Thus, in order
to attain the Sustainable Development ...
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 ...
Owing to major worldwide issues like global warming, carbon footprint, natural
resource depletion, etc., Sustainable Development (SD) has become an imperative topic of
the current era, specifically in the construction ...
Excessive and uncontrolled seepage through an earth-fill dam is detrimental to its stability.
In this study, an empirical correlation was formulated for calculating the rate of seepage
discharge through a non-homogenous ...
Ground motion prediction equations is cornerstone of Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment. A big pool of GMPEs is available nowadays for active crustal and subduction zone categories which are derived on dataset of ...
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 ...
Expansive Soils are the type of soils which changes their volumes when
encounter water. This change in volume makes them a problematic soil for
engineers. Soil Stabilization is the technique used to tackle such problematic ...
Clayey soil with a high degree of flexibility and a poor bearing capacity is always
problematic for structures. Montmorillonite is the main component of Nandipur,
Gujranwala clay. The activity of the soil is increased ...
Deep excavations are becoming common in urban environments, be it for the construction of
multi-story buildings or tunnels or underground subway networks etc. These excavations result
in lateral movements of retaining ...
