Foundation in Weak Soil
Abstract: In geotechnical engineering, it is crucial to evaluate the interaction between structural loads and soil properties to ensure the stability and safety of foundations. In this scenario, the column is subjected to a load of 120 tons, with an additional 10% safety factor added, resulting in a total load of 132 tons at the foundation base. The foundation base is designed with dimensions of 2.5 meters by 2.5 meters, and …

Algae as Bio-Fertilizer
Abstract: Bio-fertilization represents a sustainable agricultural practice that leverages bio-fertilizers to enhance soil nutrient levels, thereby increasing agricultural productivity eco-friendly and feasible substitute for pollution-free agricultural applications, soil microflora has been used to increase biomass production and improve soil fertility. Numerous cyanobacteria, including species like Oscillatoria angustissima, Nostoc sp., and Anabaena sp., are known to be efficient nitrogen-fixing biofertilizers. Acuteodesmus dimorphus, Spirulina platensis, Chlorella vulgaris, Scenedesmus dimorphus, Anabaena azolla, and Nostoc …

Study of Behavior of Buckling Restrained Bearing Frame Along with Soil Structure Interaction
Abstract: Lateral forces due to earthquake are the major consideration for design of earthquake resisting structures, these forces can be resisted by various systems like braced frames, shear walls, moment frames, etc. Energy dissipation is one of the most convenient option for earthquake resistance, as it can absorb input energy from earthquake protecting the main structure. Past research revealed that the Buckling Restrained Braces (BRB) are the best type of energy …

Stabilization of Reinforced Earth Wall Backfill Using Steel Slag and Recycled PET Fiber: A Composite Material Approach
Abstract: Reinforced Earth (RE) walls are widely used in infrastructure due to their structural efficiency and ease of construction. However, they typically require high-quality granular backfill, which may not be readily available or cost-effective in many regions. This study investigates the potential of utilizing locally available sandy clay soil stabilized with industrial and plastic waste materials specifically 20% steel slag and 0.75% shredded polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers, as an alternative backfill …

Physico-Chemical Analysis of Soil Quality Parameters in Tamilnadu Region An Analytical Approach Towards Life on Land -SDG 15
Abstract: This study examines the physico-chemical properties of soil in Tamilnadu region, supporting SDG 15’s framework for sustainable land management. Soil, as a vital non-living component, plays a crucial role in ecosystem functioning by facilitating nutrient cycling, retaining water, and supporting habitats for a wide range of organisms. The research analysis key physical parameters (colour, texture, structure, porosity, density, consistency, temperature) and chemical properties, focusing on both macro and micronutrients. Various …

Behavior of SFRC composite pile resting on sloping ground of cohesive and non-cohesive strata
Abstract: Reinforced concrete piles are increasingly being utilized in situations where there is a need to transfer loads in deep strata, particularly for infrastructure projects built on sloping grounds. The present study comprises a finite element analysis (FEA) to investigate the lateral load-bearing capacity of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) pile, embedded in sloping grounds with sandy and clayey soils. The lateral load capacity of the steel fiber reinforced concrete pile …

Hydrological Modeling and Classification of Various Models: A Review
Abstract: Hydrology is the science which deals with the existence, movement and distribution of water of the earth, below the earth and earth’s atmosphere. As one of the branches of earth science, hydrology deals with the water in waterways and lakes, precipitation and snow, snow on the terrestrial and water underneath the earth and rocks. Hydrology has its links with meteorology, geography, measurements, science, material science and liquid mechanics. Engineers and …
