Remote Sensing Classification Based on Improve Ant-Miner Algorithm: A Case Study of Alwar, Rajasthan, India
Abstract: Earth Observation Satellite (EOS) image itself contains image ambiguity. Various conventional methods like minimum distance to mean or maximum likelihood image clustering algorithm do not meet the accuracy that have required by user in the virtue of cost-effective land use/land cover classification. In Ant colony optimization (ACO), association rule mining is a prevalent and well researched method for discovering useful relations between variables in large databases. The proposed work presents …

Strength Studies of Fly Ash Stabilized with Lime and Gypsum
Abstract: An experimental study was conducted to investigate the performance of a composite derived from stabilizing fly ash with lime and gypsum. The initial part of the study examines the effect of lime (4%, 8%, and 12% by mass of dry fly ash) on compaction (in terms of density/moisture relationship) and unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of fly ash. Further the effect of adding small amount of gypsum (1%) on strength was …

Assessing the Variation in Cutback Asphalt Requirement for Various Geotechnical Properties of Asphalt Stabilized Soil
Abstract: The subgrade layer must be strong to resist shear failure, tensile stresses and have adequate stiffness to avoid and resist excessive pavement deformation. Available fill materials do not always meet these requirements and may require improvement of their engineering properties, soil stabilization with liquid asphalt may be an alternative to improve the stability, adhesion and waterproofing properties which are desired for embankment construction purpose. The soil in this investigation represents …

Mitigation of Expansive Soil Problems by Using Helical Piles with Additives
Abstract: In this study, nine essential additives in addition to three mixed additives with different ratios have been chosen and implemented during the installation of helical pile. The choice took into consideration that some of the additives were cheap and available in the local market; others were waste materials such as ceramic, brick fragments and coal fly ash. Some relatively expensive additives such as silica fumes were also added because it …
