Case ReportOpen accessIn the keywordsSimulation of Stone Column Ground Improvement (Comparison between Axisymmetric and Plane Strain)Maryam Gaber, Anuar Kasa, Norinah Abdul-Rahman, Jamal AlsharefMost of the numerical studies on stone columns are based on the unit cell concept. However, the impact of interactions between adjacent columns and between the columns and the surrounding soil has not been investigated thoroughly. In this study, the finite element software, PLAXIS-2D-V8.2, was used to simulate a stone column as a unit cell and as a plane strain … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 16 Jan 2018 · 8,152 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPore Water Pressure Contribution to Debris Flow MobilityChiara DeangeliProblem statement: Debris flows are very to extremely rapid flows of saturated granular soils. Two main types of debris flow are generally recognized: Open slope debris flows and channelized debris flows. The former is the results of some form of slope failures, the latter can develop along preexisting stream courses by the mobilization of previously deposited debris blanket. The problem … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 6,588 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLiquefaction Susceptibility in the Northern Provinces of ThailandSupot Teachavorasinskun, Pichai Pattararattanakul, Pulpong PongvithayapranuProblem statement: There are quite a few active faults recently found in the western and northern parts of Thailand, which could possibly induce earthquakes of magnitude (ML) of 5.5-6.5. Although seismic design code has been enforced in the area since 1980, the fundamental knowledge on dynamic soil behavior has not been extensively attained. Approach: Collection of existing borehole information in … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,331 accessesView PDF Cite
