    EVALUATION OF MINE WASTE ROCKS FOR USE AS MATERIALS FOR ROAD CONSTRUCTION

    By Edmund Nana Asare, Nancy Darko Yeboah, Albert Kafui Klu

    Abstract: Mine rock wastes are materials that are removed in order to access and mine the ore. They pose significant environmental challenges due to their existence in large volumes. The chemical and geomechanical properties of mine rock wastes were determined to aid in assessing their suitability for use as aggregates for road construction. The chemical and geotechnical test performed on the samples were Sulphate, pH, Aggregate Crushing Value, Sodium Sulphate Soundness, …

    Shallow Seismic Refraction Investigation for Site Classification and Geotechnical Engineering Applications

    By Edmund Nana Asare, Jamel Seidu, Kwame Asamoah Nyarko

    Abstract: The survey was carried to determine the Site Class of the study area and also estimate some geotechnical parameters of potential construction sites within the study area. The survey was conducted on the University of Mines and Technology (UMaT) campus, using Geometrics ES 3000, A 12-Channel seismograph developed by Geometric Inc. The results from the study show that the subsurface of the study area is made up of four layers. …

    Determination of Bearing Strength Characteristics of Fine and Coarse Cohesive Soils from its Index Properties

    By Edmund Nana Asare, Gideon Boateng, Albert Kafui Klu, Isaac Ofori Ampong

    Abstract: The variation in geology, cost and complexity in the preparation and testing for strength characteristics of soils from location to location has challenged geotechnical engineers to make optimum use of empirical formulas to predict bearing strength characteristics of soils. One major One major One major One major One major One major problem associated with bearing capacity of soil includes the different engineering properties associated with different geologic formations which have …
