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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The geotechnical design of pile foundation is based on determination of geometric design followed by calculation of ultimate pile capacity either by theoretical or empirical methods which are further required to be validated ...

Piled raft foundation in the combination of both shallow and deep foundation systems. The capacity of raft is included in pile foundation design to make it economical. The individual aspect of the influence parameters ...

The maximum dry density (MDD) and optimum moisture content (OMC) are the two important compaction parameters that are obtained using proctor tests in the laboratory, but they require energy and time. Therefore, extensive ...

This study presents an optimization model for the economical design of isolated foundations in cohesive soils. The optimization algorithm not only incorporates safety requirements in the form of ultimate limit state (ULS) ...

Problematic soils, specifically soft clay, is widespread in Southern Punjab, Pakistan. These soils generally undergo excessive deformation on wetting and under the application of load due to their lower bearing capacity. ...
