SOIL STABILIZATION IN SKARDU REGION USING DOMESTIC WOOD ASH

Muhammad Mazahir Haider (NICE, National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), Islamabad, 2019)

In Gilgit Baltistan region there is an extensive use of wood as a source of energy for cooking and heating purpose which results in a large amount of combustion residues known as wood ash. After combustion these ashes ...
SLOPING GROUND LIQUEFACTION- CASE HISTORY BASED ANALYSIS

Nabeela Maheen (NICE, National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), Islamabad, 2018)

Liquefaction is one of the most interesting, controversial and complex phenomenon in geotechnical engineering. The devastating earthquakes of Prince William Sound, Alaska, USA and Niigata, Japan in 1964 are considered ...
EFFECT OF WET AND DRY CYCLES ON SHEAR STRENGTH OF CLAYS UNDER LOW OVERBURDEN STRESS

Muhammad Hussain Ahsan (NICE, National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), Islamabad, 2019)

The seasonal variations in soil water content are one of the major important environmental factors that causes the reduction of shear strength of expansive clays. Highway embankments which are constructed on expansive soils ...
ECO-FRIENDLY UTILIZATION OF RICE HUSK ASH AND BAGASSE ASH BLEND AS PARTIAL SAND REPLACEMENT IN SELF-COMPACTING CONCRETE

Muhammad Hamza Hasnain (NICE, National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), Islamabad, 2020)

Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is largely used construction material worldwide, uplifting the demand of river sand along all of its constituents due to the recent construction boom. Rice husk ash (RHA) and Bagasse ash (BA) ...
GEOTECHNICAL MAPPING OF SELECTED AREA USING SEISMOGRAPH

SHAH RUKH KHAN (NICE, National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), Islamabad, 2018)

Despite of the difficulties in correct soil exploration, its necessity remained unavoidable at every period of time. Geophysical surveys have proven economical and effective techniques to unleash the subsurface features ...
COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ROCK LOAD THEORIES FOR TUNNEL DESIGN OPTIMIZATION

Daanyal Umar (NICE, National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), Islamabad, 2019)

Because of increasing world population, urbanization and industrialization, the construction of underground tunnel structures is preferred, as they limit interferences with existing surface uses of the land and water bodies. ...
EFFECT OF MULTIWALLED CARBON NANOTUBES ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF GYPSUM-TREATED SOIL

Bilawal Hussain (NICE, National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), Islamabad, 2019)

Being a modern-day technology, nanotechnology has a lot of uses in both engineering and non-engineering fields. While structural engineers have been using carbon-based nanomaterials to improve the compressive and flexural ...
BEHAVIOUR OF LIME CONCRETE PILES BASED ON EXPERIMENTAL & FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS

MUHAMMAD SARFRAZ FAIZ (NICE, National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), Islamabad, 2018)

With the growing population of world and day by day increases in living standards, people face many problems related to soil. Soil may or may not be the strong enough to withstand the loads coming from above structures, ...
SUSTAINABILITY OF GEOTECHNICAL PROJECTS: DEVELOPMENT OF A SUSTAINABILITY ASSESSMENT TOOL (GEO-SAT)

Faisal Raza (NICE, National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), Islamabad, 2020)

Sustainability is the ability of the system to retain and survive its functionality over the course of time. A system is sustainable as long as the capacity (supply) is greater than the load (demand). Along the timeline ...
EVOLUTION OF POLYTHENE SHEET PERFORMANCE ON THE BEARING CAPACITY OF SOFT SOIL

Muhammad Fazeel (NICE, National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), Islamabad, 2020)

There are certain situations in the field compelling the engineers and scientists to enhance the bearing capacity of weak soils due to their lower strength to bear the superstructure loads. It is always preferred to use ...
STABILIZATION OF LOW PLASTIC AND HIGH PLASTIC SOIL USING GYPSUM AND RICE HUSK ASH

Hasib ur Rehman (NICE, National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), Islamabad, 2019)

Construction on clays is mostly found problematic due to their despoiled properties, i.e., low bearing capacity, low Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS), high swell potential, high compressibility, and low permeability. ...
