Instability in rock slopes is a very common phenomenon due to complex formations of different geological structures within the rock masses. These instabilities pose a significant threat to civil engineering projects ...

This work investigates the experimental and numerical analysis of shallow and semi-deep (skirted) foundation models on loose sand. The study employs both singly and doubly skirted models, utilizing varying skirt lengths ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The soil in Islamabad, and particularly Bahria Town, is predominantly earth-filled and is subject to clayey characteristics. It has shown tendencies of low strength under load which poses a unique problem and jeopardizes ...

Soil is a complex material and one of the complexities associated with the soil mass is exertion of lateral earth pressure. Due to this pressure, lateral displacements along the slopes can occur which will further destabilize ...

Clays have a tendency to undergo volumetric changes on their interaction with water. Due to alternating cycles of wetting and drying all year long, these soils undergo fatigue and are a common cause for differential ...

This research comprises of comprehending the current design of Nahakki Tunnel, Swat Twin Tube Tunnel and Shimla Tunnel on the basis of Q, Q and BQ classification systems respectively and analyzing deformations using ...
