The determination of rock strength holds paramount importance in the field engineering geology. In this study, we conduct a comprehensive geostatistical evaluation unconfined compressive (UCS) within 100 km2 area situated northeast Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. UCS values were indirectly estimated using an empirical equation based on Schmidt hammer rebound method, resulting range strengths from 9.2 to ...

Soil reinforcement can be considered as the combination of two parts. One part is soil for compressive stress capacity and another part is some material such as geosynthetics such as steel belts and fibers for tensile stress capacity. Soil improvement is one of the useful methods to increase the strength parameters of the soil. The main goal of this study is to evaluate the effects of GFRP on t...

Here we study the effects of nano clay and polypropylene fiber on unconfined compression splitting properties lime soil. Through a series compressive strength (UCS) tests (STS) tests, mechanical soil (LS), modified (NLS), (FLS), composite (NFLS) are analyzed, volume calculation formula each phase in NFLS is deduced. Nano content αn, porosity η LVi as independent variables, prediction models UCS...

Soil improvement is commonly carried out in construction work with the aim of increasing bearing capacity / strength soil so that it can carry load will stand on it. The method often used stabilization addition materials. In this study, was Portland Cement. This research begins sampling and laboratory testing to determine physical mechanical properties soil, followed by making samples for Uncon...

The behavior of concrete-filled fiber tubes (CFFT) polymers under axial compressive loading was investigated. Unlike the traditional fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) such as carbon, glass, aramid, etc., the FRP tubes in this study were designed using large rupture strains FRP which are made of recycled materials such as plastic bottles; hence, large rupture strain (LRS) FRP composites are enviro...
