This paper examines biocementation via the microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) process as an appropriate and promising new technology for stabilisation of loose sand and silty sand deposits as a method to mitigate wind... more
Aquifer ground water levels, gwl (bgl) levels were mapped for the Merti Aquifer boreholes traversing the Isiolo, Garissa and Wajir Counties, in order to aid the Predictions of the Groundwater levels in the study area. The algorithm was... more
The aim of the article is to compare two classifications systems of engineering-geological environment sustainability in terms of its permeability evaluated on the basis of permeability coefficient. The first evaluated classification... more
Rainfall is one of the vital form of precipitation which affects not only agricultural activity but also entire ecology in any region. Hence rainfall distribution and its trends in district is important to understand water availability... more
For Madagascar, road construction is a primary field. The road has various functions, not only it played a major role in linking region, but it also influenced the economic and social development of an area. This study is... more
In this paper site, investigation was carried out to reveal the site subsurface condition, determine bearing strength, predict settlement and recommend foundation for a 20,000us gallons elevated Braithwaite water tank. Method involved the... more
This paper represents a new advance in the study of engineering properties and material applications of phyllite clays. Considering their potential use as construction materials for structures subjected to low stress levels, this... more
Summary : The City of Dhaka occupies a unique geological location in terms of the geological set up and ground condition. Geologically the city landmass is a part of an old terrace that is raised considerably up than the surrounding... more
This briefing highlights the difficulties of standard triaxial compression testing of fibrous peat and representing its behaviour in a Mohr–Coulomb framework. Experimental values of effective angle of shearing resistance, phi', and... more

This paper presents an empirical model for estimating rock mass hydraulic conductivity of fractured Hawkesbury Sandstone in the Sydney basin. The hydraulic conductivity of a fractured crystalline rock mass can be a critical factor in... more
Hemophobia fear of blood, is a type of specific phobia. The present study was aimed to know the Hemophobia among 8th to 10th studying students in rural and urban Government schools. The response was taken from 3399 students (8th:1175,... more
Peatlands are dynamic eco-hydrological wetland systems, increasingly under threat worldwide due to natural and anthropogenic effects, including large-scale drainage and oxidation, causing their subsidence and ecological deterioration. In... more
The choice and dimensioning of the foundations are made according to the physical properties of the soil and the type of structure to be built. This research concerns the assessment of the KAMATANDA platform soil capacity, which has to... more
Ground vibrations due to blasting processes are one of the fundamental problems in the mining and civil excavation industry which may cause severe damage to the structures. It is mostly recommended that a detail comprehensive vibration... more
Engineering failures are hard to define. They may form catastrophic disasters that are serious threats to public safety; yet, at other instances, they may be a shortcoming in the behavior or function of structures. A functional... more
The three major characteristics of rainfall are mainly its amount, frequency and intensity. The value of rainfall varies greatly from day to day, place to place, month and year to year. Generally Akole tehsil receives the highest rainfall... more
Using high-quality hydraulic conductivity test results for compacted soil samples with widely different gradation characteristics, 14 commonly employed empirical correlations for estimating the permeability coefficient (k) were evaluated.... more
Firstly, I want to thank you because you have decided to buy this book, namely Concise Edition: Pile Foundation Basics. This book is not as great, nor is it comparable to other Pile Foundation related books. What I can say, this book... more
The consolidation test is one of the most common laboratory tests in geotechnical investigations. It is mainly utilized to assess the clay operative constrained modulus, which is an essential parameter in the settlement calculations of... more
This paper presents a review of literature related to the vacuum consolidation ground improvement technique, focusing on issues affecting efficiency of performance and the application of the technique in peaty ground. Although it is now... more
Composite materials have been used for over 20 years as temporary reinforcement in concrete structures, since the first GFRP soft-eye in Bangkok metro (1996). However, FRP rebars are only exposed to loads limited to 20% of their ultimate... more
