Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleCompressibility Behavior of Tropical Peat Reinforced with Cement ColumnsYouventharan Duraisamy, Bujang B.K. Huat, Azlan A. AzizThis paper presents the compressibility of tropical peat reinforced with cylindrical cement columns. When a cement column is installed vertically in peat, its compressibility is reduced because of the hardened skeleton matrix formed by cement particles bonding with adjacent soil particles in the presence of pore water. The effects of the cement column diameter on the compressibility have been investigated … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 7,434 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBehavior of Stabilized Peat Soils in Unconfined Compression TestsWong Leong Sing, Roslan Hashim, Faisal Haji AliProblem statement: Deep stabilized peat columns were known to be economical at forming foundations to support highway embankments constructed on deep peat land. However, failure in the formation of the columns with adequate strength was often attributed to unsuitable type and insufficient dosage of binder added to the soil. Organic matter in peat was known to impede the cementing process … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,452 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Investigation on Three Dimensional RC Infilled Frame - RC Plane Frame Interactions With Slab for Seismic ResistanceSuyamburaja Arulselvan, K. SubramanianExperimental investigation was planned and conducted to study the influence of brick masonry infill and slab in a three-dimensional reinforced cement concrete frame. In this study, one-fifth scale 3D R.C frame representing single story, three bays with central bay brick infill at the sides and a long single bay without infill in the middle of the frame along loading direction … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,313 accessesView PDF Cite
