Assessment of the Reinforced Slope Stability Under Earthquake Loading
Abstract: Failure of the soil slopes by dynamic excitation is one of the most vital geotechnical earthquake hazards which may lead to serious destruction to the bridge abutments, dams, embankment, and structures resting on the slope. Moreover, due to deficient space available for the construction of slopes in urban areas, high and steep slope is constructed by geotextile reinforcement slopes. In this study, numerical modelling is made to study the behaviour …

Arduino Controlled Hydroponics
Abstract: AbstractLivelihood in India is based mainly on agriculture. Climate changes substantially affects the agriculture by either increasing food prices or decreasing food production. Conventional farming requires exceptional soil condition along with natural mineral potency. It additionally requires labour cost and also utilizes tremendous amount of land and water resources. Seasonal crops can’t be grown throughout the year. To resolve this factors an agricultural approach that significantly cuts down the revenues …

Effect of Compressibility on Undrained Bearing Pressure of Circular Footing Resting on Two-Layered Clay
Abstract: The present study aims to investigate the behavior of a circular foundation on layered clay of varying properties. There are several solutions for the bearing capacity of footings on two-layered clays, but none of them considered the compressibility of the strata. An underestimation of the soil bearing capacity is the main cause of failures. The typical difficulty in estimating the capacity of soil is its complicated behavior attributed to the …
