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...

Abstract In the present study, a small piled raft foundation has been simulated numerically through PLAXIS 3-D software. The objective of this study was to investigate effect governing parameters such as pile length, spacing, diameter, and number piles on settlement load-bearing behavior raft, so achieve optimum design for configurations. An optimized is defined with allowable center differenti...

Abstract The composite system of stone columns reinforced soil overlaid by granular mattress (GM) has been given more attention as a hybrid improvement technique. This work presents 3D finite element analyses using PLAXIS software for floating group constructed in deep soft clay deposit Port-Said Egypt. limited area loading was investigated conjunction with the key parameters, i.e., length, dia...

Seismic isolation is a method of protecting building from earthquake-induced deformations by using isolators and devices under the superstructure. The purpose seismic to reduce earthquake forces transferred ground structure placing energy-absorbing elements between foundation Especially in developing countries, "Geotechnical Isolation (GSI)" system has been proposed as new damages on buildings....

Abstract The aim of this research is to predict foundation settlement resting on peat soil layer using a numerical analysis software Plaxis 2D ver. 2020. study area located at Kafr Saad Domiat province extreme north east Nile Delta, Egypt. Peat known be the worst materials because its compressibility and low bearing capacity. studied building was five stories founded rigid raft. depth 1.5 m net...
