o Characterization of Geotechnical Data and Modeling the Behavior of Pile Group of Deep Foundations on Swelling Rocks
Analyzed the failure of a paper machine foundation located in Lawton, OK, working with FLAC/3D
Assisted in preparing a geotechnical report, and published a journal paper
o Physical Modelling of Erosion due to Overtopping of the Levees and Floodwalls
Analyzed the seepage in levees, working with SEEP/W
Investigated the effect of various soil parameters on levee erosion by performing numerous levee tests
Processed other soil laboratory tests such as Erosion Function Apparatus (EFA) test to analyze and interpret the erosion data
o Rock Mass Characterization – First Step to Design Safety Measures and Control Roof Falls
Conducted field reviews, and performed over 300 field and laboratory tests to obtain geotechnical properties of more than 50 roof rock core boxes (equivalent to 500 ft. material) in a four-month period
Analyzed and interpreted the geotechnical data, and provided regular presentations of geotechnical calculations working with Surfer/AutoCAD drawings
Wrote executive technical reports to Illinois Coal Clean Institute (ICCI) regarding general guidelines for underground coal mine roof control design in the Illinois Basin
