in this research, failure mechanism, soil deformation and effect of reinforcement below a strip foundation were studied using physical modeling and piv method. for this purpose, a comprehensive set of tests were undertaken on dense and loose sands and different geosynthetic materials such as geotextile and geogrid for soil reinforcing. in each step of loading, digital image of deformed soil was...

A frequent problem in geotechnics is soils with inadequate physical–mechanical properties to withstand construction work, incurring cost overruns caused by their engineering improvement. The need improve the of not recent. most common current alternatives are binders such as cement and lime. climate change observed recent decades uncontrolled emission greenhouse gases have motivated geotechnica...

Disposal of an industrial waste like flyash produced from burning of coals in thermal power stations requires a large land area. The decreasing availability of good construction site has led to the increased use of low lying areas filled up with industrial wastes whose bearing capacity is low. In-situ treatment of such industrial waste fills; in order to improve their bearing capacity with rein...
