Performance of Circular Model Footing Resting on Sand Bed Reinforced with Vertical Reinforcement in Dry Condition
Abstract: Soil stabilization is the process of improving the engineering properties of the soil. The good old method of stabilization is by using the chemicals stabilization, whereas the recent method of improving the strength of the soil is by using the vertical reinforced earth. In the present work sand is filled in the 250x250x375 mm MS tank by using sand raining technique at a relative density of 67%. MS circular plate …

Bearing Capacity of Double Box Shaped Skirted Footings on Sand
Abstract: The double-box-shaped footing with and without skirt and sand-resting pressure settlement behavior was discussed in this paper. Different parameters are normalised skirt depth (0.25 to 1.5), relative sand density (30 to 60 percent) and sand footing interface state (partially rough and rough). Results of this study showed that a general and local shear failure was observed at a relative density of 50 percent and 60 percent, and 30 percent and …

NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF THE DYNAMIC BEHAVIOR OF THE EARTH DAM – CASE STUDY OF THE OURKISS DAM, ALGERIA.
Abstract: The analysis of failure due to the effect of propagation of normal and reverse faults with different angles of inclination and by slip through the Ourkiss dam is studied numerically.The study is done mainly at the end of the construction and at the highest water level. The non-linear finite difference method is used considering four angles of inclination of the fault, active at the centre of the dam base.The results …

A Review on Stabilization of Black Cotton Soil by using Different Admixtures
Abstract: The black cotton soil issues led to structural and geotechnical engineering challenges all over the world. It shows the deviation in volume change behavior due to climatic conditions that causes distress in the structural devious of foundations and damage of building structures, road pavements because of its low strength and high expansion. Considerable research is taking place to find the effect of expansive soil. The following article shows the different …

Effect of Particle Size of Sand on the Interface Shear Behavior of Sand and Non-Woven Geotextile
Abstract: Soil-geosynthetic interface is the weakest zone for shear failure. It is influenced by size, shape, density and water content of sand. It is also influenced by the properties of geosynthetic such as texture and structure. This paper explores the influence of the size of sand on the behavior of sand-geotextile interface. Three types of sands namely coarse, medium and fine sand and non-woven geotextile were used in this study. Several …
