Effects of Glass Fibres on the Shear Strength of Sandy Soil
Abstract: This paper presents the effects of glass fibres on the shear strength parameters of sand. To study the effect, sand was mixed with three different glass fibre contents (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5%) of length of 10 mm. Series of direct shear test was carried out to study the behaviour of unreinforced and reinforced sand. After studying the results, it clearly showed that the shear strength and angle of internal friction …

Stress Distribution below Strip Footing Using Finite Element Analysis
Abstract: The estimation of stress distribution below ground is important in all types of geotechnical analysis. That is why the correctly measured value of stress distribution below ground level under various conditions will be helpful for resilient design in geotechnical point of view. This paper presents an analysis of vertical stress distribution below a strip footing due to varying applied loads using finite element method (FEM) modeling in ABAQUS and the …

Estimation of Pile Deviation at Slope Using Finite Element Method
Abstract: This paper presents results and discussion of the pile deviation, which occurred during slope construction at the Depot LRT Kampung Kuala Sungai Baru (KKSB) Ampang Line Extension Project. The piles at RW5 slope area deviated for almost 1 m from its original location which caused tremendous cost impact to mitigate and was time consuming. An investigation was carried out by referring to the Geotechnical Assessment Report and the simulation work …
