Read Morehello everyone
I am new here.
would you introduce some proffessors who are expert in micropiles in usa or canada?
appreciate
I want to present certain Geo technical Engineering Articles in 'GEO WORLD' and would therefore like to know the ways and procedural details to do the same.It would be of much interest if you kindly let me know about it at an early date - to enable me to share some of my experience as an expert /consultant in Geo-technical engineering formore than four decades.
Hi Somdev! For brief message just update your status. Otherwise use the blog and create post blogs. Those will reach your Geoworld network and if the topic is of broad interest they may be featured in the Geo-Trends Review magazine that is distributed to all Geoworld members. I hope that helps.
Can anyone please tell me the simplest method to find the swelling potential of soil in the field, in order to know whether the landslide that occurred is due to the swelling or not?
Hi all,
I need some CD-Type Triaxial curves (p-e1, p-q, ev-eq) on drained sand for a defined location. can any one help me with that?
Thanks!
The landfill has to be constructed on top of the following profile:
0) silty sand (10 m) underlain by
1) Fractured clay till (20 m) underlain by
2) Unfeatured lacustrine clay (40 m) underlain by
3) Coarse sand and gravel (30 m) underlain by
4) Bedrock
The groundwater is in the middle of the fine silty sand and in the middle of coarse sand (confined aquifer)
What is the most economical way to control lateral groundwater migration through the upper silty sand?
a) Eliminate the shallow groundwater in the vicinity of the site by using gravity dewatering
b) Increase the isolation to the groundwater by building up the grade on the site to the high elevation before beginning construction of the landfill
c) Use slurry walls around the perimeter of the site to isolate the landfill from the shallow groundwater
d) Install a leak-proof liner to isolate the waste material from the environment
Cut-off walls are a classic choice for somethign like this, but option (b) is likely to be more economic. It depends on the project requirements, and the risk level you are willing to take. However, the (d) is a necessity in either case.
Why matric suction has a more direct influence on shear behavior of soil than the osmotic suction?
