Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAnalysis of the Effect of Pile Skin Resistance Verses Pile Diameter Based on Experimental ResearchS. M. Marandi, M.A. KarimzadehIn spite of the many recent advances in pile design and execution methods, the quantitative effects of grouted pile skin resistance and form on subsequent pile behavior remains an area for research. There are many parameters involved in the analysis of the bearing capacity of piles and descriptive method theory of the loading effect for each parameter is very complex. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,273 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesBase Course Modification through Stabilization using Cement and BitumenS. M. Marandi, P. SafapourThe main objectives of this research was to analyze the use of combined cement and bitumen emulsion in base course stabilization in details and examine its replacement with conventional pavement in regions with low quality materials and limited construction period. To conduct the objectives, the research divided into three phases. Phase I involved the optimization of cement and bitumen emulsion. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,802 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesNumerical Investigation Into The Behavior of Circular Pad Shallow Foundations Supported By Geogrid Reinforced SandS. M. Marandi, M. H. Bagheripour, R. Rahgozar, A. R. GhirianThis study seeks to widen the pool of knowledge on the use and characteristics of geosynthetics, specifically in the area of circular foundations supported by geosynthetic reinforced sand. The main objective of the work was to increase the awareness of circular foundation systems and thus increase the accuracy of current laboratory methods. Also, compare the results with that of previous … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,153 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesStrength and Ductility of Randomly Distributed Palm Fibers Reinforced Silty-Sand SoilsS.M. Marandi, M.H. Bagheripour, R. Rahgozar, H. ZareThis paper investigates the resultant strength and ductility behavior when randomly distributed palm fibers are used to reinforce silty-sand soils. The composite soils were tested under laboratory conditions and examined for unconfined compression strength (UCS), California Bearing Ratio (CBR) and compaction test. The results indicated that; the maximum and residual strengths, orientation of surface failures, ductility and the stress-strain relationship … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,857 accessesView PDF Cite
