this paper describes the results of a study which was primarily directed to the determination of geotechnical properties of fine and coarse grain soils stabilized by lime obtained from taleghan, northwest of tehran to assess its suitability as construction material. soils were treated with lime mixtures in various portions between 3 to 9 percents by weight. the samples were cured for different ...

Results of laboratory tests on specimens produced from subsoil studies were evaluated tocharacterize geotechnical properties of Tabriz Marl. It was concluded that, Tabriz Marl may be considered as a high liquid limit silt or clay (MH & CH). Range of changes of index, physical and mechanical properties of the Tabriz Marl are comparatively vast. Correlation between these properties has been intro...

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) and electromagnetic terrain conductivity (EM) surveys were performed to detect frozen ground and peat layers at a proposed landfill site in Fairbanks, Alaska. Geotechnical test pits showed frozen ground and peat layers in places, prompting a concern that differential settlement would disrupt the planned leachate collection system—a network of pipes installed benea...

Three-dimensional (3D) geological models are important representations of the results of regional geological surveys. However, the process of constructing 3D geological models from two-dimensional (2D) geological elements remains difficult and is not necessarily robust. This paper proposes a method of migrating from 2D elements to 3D models. First, the geological interfaces were constructed usi...

In recent years, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been applied to many geotechnical engineering problems and have demonstrated some degree of success. In the majority of these applications, data division is carried out on an arbitrary basis. However, the way the data are divided can have a significant effect on model performance. In this report, the relationship between the statistical pr...

In India, near Chennai, Pammal Panchayat of Tambaram Taluk, there are more than 145 tannery industries functioning since 1945, covering six square kilometre area. To assess the level of chemical contamination of the study area, 3D model Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN) has been generated using GIS software such as Arc Sene, Arc Map. Using the cross validation technique from the software ana...
