Accurate prediction of the bearing resistance of piles which is a combination of shaft and end resistance is important in the pile design process since if not, it will cause for an uneconomical and unsafe design. As an ...

Accurate finite element modeling (FEM) of deep excavations is a difficult task due to the lack of availability of details about the soil strata below ground level. This study proposes a method to select the appropriate ...

This paper presents selected results of a detail study of the transmission refeletion performance of gabion structures usued in harbour and costal engineering applications. The performance of the structures is discussed ...

This paper is an endeavour to highlight importance of realizing potential of research in "value addition' or "making" process of concrete. Authors, based upon their cement manufacturing and construction industry, presented ...

Negative skin friction (NSF) is a common problem for a pile foundation in soft soil arises when soil settles more than the pile. Negative skin friction induces an additional compressive axial force (Drag load) and an ...

Majority of watersheds associated with civil engineering infrastructure projects are ungauged and most commonly used method to determine streamflow in ungauged basins is mathematical modelling with the use of Synthetic ...

This study was carried out to compare vertical and horizontal bench blast(s) at a granitic gneiss rock quarry located in Colombo, Sri Lanka and predict the resulting peak particle velocities of ground vibration levels. ...

Soft soil replacement is a widely used technique in ground improvement to enhance the subsurface conditions beneath shallow foundations which involves replacing weak and unstable soil types like peat, organic soils, and ...
