The paper presents the effect of using cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL), a low-priced agro by-product and renewable resource, to treat coir geotextiles. Large-scale direct shear tests were performed on sands reinforced with untreated treated geotextiles at different normal stresses (50 kPa, 100 150 kPa). Sands three particle sizes (coarse, medium, fine) used for study. strength parameters soil sa...

Abstract Model study was carried out in the laboratory to know effect of uplift loads on vertical piles, batter piles and pile groups. Mild steel having 22 mm outer diameter 1 thickness were considered for study. Different slenderness ratios 18, 28, 38 various angles such as 0°, 15°, 25°, 35°, 45° Sand poured at a fixed relative density mild tank. The experimental shows that group attain maximu...

Abstract Laboratory tests were carried out on non-piled rafts, single piles, surface contacting and non surface-contacting piled rafts which made of aluminum instrumented with strain gauges deflection gauges. The foundations installed in dry sand contained a large metal tank to minimize boundary effects. Maintained loads applied each foundation until failure was closely approached. In parallel,...

Kentleşmenin günümüzde hızla artması ve buna paralel olarak dar alanlarda yüksek ağır yapıların inşa edilmesinde zemin koşullarının dikkate alınma ihtiyacı daha da önem kazanmaktadır. Zayıf koşullarında kazık temel seçimi taşıma gücü değerlerine olumlu katkı sağlayabilmektedir. Kazık belirlenmesinde yapılan hatalar güvensiz sonuçlara veya ekonomiklikten uzaklaşmaya sebep olabilmektedir. Bu nede...

This study aims to suggest a technique for soil properties improvement of AL- Kadhimin shrine Minaret and support the foundation, which has tilt roughly 80 cm from vertical axis. The is made up four minarets with two domes set in large courtyard. have skewed varying degrees due uncontrolled dewatering inside recent years. However, northeast minaret was most inclined its proximity well placed Wh...

This research evaluated four SPT-based design equations used to estimate the carrying capacity of shallow footing. Using different methods, two plate load tests performed on silty clay and soil in Nasiriyah have been obtain ultimate load-carrying capacity. Further, this study aims utilize finite element method based Plaxis 3D foundation software simulate behavior settlement with actual dimensio...

At present, there are still some gaps in the theoretical calculation of permanent displacement multi-stage loess slope under action earthquake. Therefore, this paper firstly uses GEO-Studio finite element software to explore influence comprehensive rate on when each grade changes and stage changes. The results show that it is feasible use calculate sliding body On basis conclusion, order simpli...

Abstract At the beginning of 16th century, original inhabitants Čachtice built a large complex tunnels and cellars under village, today called underground. The underground protected people from war conflicts, most recently during World War II, as anti-aircraft shelters. Over time, lost its significance. corridors were walled up, covered with rubble, collapsed due to construction work. Later, pa...

The slope soil analysis remains a corporate concern in construction activities. Because of its significance, the evaluation stability has called widespread attention to several researchers all over world. Many methods have been technologically advanced evaluate slopes soils founded on distinct expectations and circumstances. Every method specific benefits limits. This work makes comparison amon...

applied for preventative treatment of an existing road or to overlay low-trafficked roads. The thickness the superstructure a chip seal pavement is directly related bearing capacity sub-grade soil. soil represented by Resilient Modulus (MR) design layers. This study has focused on effect and cost superstructures seals. In addition, linear regression analysis was performed investigate relationsh...
