Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleA Reliable Method of Analysis for Geotechnical DataAbdolrasoul Ranjbaran, Mohammad Ranjbaran, Fatema RanjbaranGeotechnical engineering is the art of making decisions in the presence of uncertainty, where real world problems are treated and this is associated with uncertainties arising from various sources. The sources of uncertainty may be divided into uncertainties of nature and uncertainties of mind. The uncertainties of nature are due to variation of encountered phenomena, e.g., the shear strength in … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 26 Dec 2020 · 7,573 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluating the Effect of Soil Particle Characterization on Internal Friction AngleArezou Rasti, Hamid Ranjkesh Adarmanabadi, Maria Pineda, Jesse ReinikainenOne of the critical design parameters used in evaluating soil structure is the friction angle, derived from Mohr's Circle failure criterion. The soil friction angle is an engineering parameter estimated in the laboratory to quantify the soil shear strength in geotechnical applications. This paper indicates an experimental study investigating the impact of particle size on different sandy soils shear strength … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 21 Feb 2021 · 8,890 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractComputational Analysis of Environmental Risk ConditionersBarbara Carla Coelho Batista, João Victor Dutra Balboa, Caio Vincenzo Reis Dima et al.The intense urbanization process since the 1970s, coupled with the lack of adequate housing and social policies, has led large urban centers to disordered occupations and situations of geotechnical risk. These occupations were not implemented in a technically correct manner from the point of view of civil engineering, considering landscaping, drainage and paving, as well as edification. Areas at risk … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 5 · 16 Oct 2020 · 6,794 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLandslide Susceptibility Analysis Using Numerical and Neural Network, Near Kedarnath, Uttarakhand, IndiaVinay Kumar Singh, Tariq Anwar Ansari, Vikram Vishal, T.N. SinghThe major concern in hilly regions is the stability of those slopes, which have been proclaimed due to unplanned excavation and uneven blasting during road widening and development activity. These slopes again become more vulnerable under dynamic loading and/or various types of human involvement, heavy rainfall and seismic activity. Failure of these slopes leads to loss of property and human … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 9 Mar 2020 · 7,772 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMost Used Rock Mass Classifications for Underground OpeningAl-Jbori A’ssim, Zhang Y. XingProblem statement: Rock mass characterization is an integral part of rock engineering practice. The empirical design methods based on rock mass classifications systems provide quick assessments of the support requirements for underground excavations at any stage of a project, even if the available geotechnical data are limited. The underground excavation industry tends to lean on empirical approaches such as rock … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,274 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSimulation of Vegetative Induced Deformation in an Unsaturated SoilNazri Bn Ali, Mu’azu Mohammed AbdullahiProblem statement: Tree root water-uptake increases soil strength by increasing the soil matric suction due to pore pressure dissipation in a soil mass, inducing increases in vertical total stress or water extraction, the effective stress to which the soil strata is subjected to may also increase. This causes volume change which might be detrimental to geotechnical structures and shallow foundation. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,135 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of the Tunnel Boring Machine Advancement on the Bologna-Florence Railway LinkM. Cardu, P. Oreste, T. CicalaProblem statement: The high-velocity railway link between Bologna and Firenze (Italy) is today under construction and several tunnels have to be excavated for this purpose, some of these using TBMs. A small diameter tunnel, named Cunicolo ginori, was realized by TBM parallel to a large railway tunnel (Vaglia), at the distance of only 35 m. Approach: The Vaglia tunnel had … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,963 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Liquefaction Return Period for Bangalore Based on Standard Penetration Test Data: Performance Based ApproachK. S. Vipin, T. G. SitharamProblem statement: The conventional liquefaction evaluation is based on a deterministic approach. However in this method the uncertainty in the earthquake loading is not properly taken into account. However recent research in this field indicates that this uncertainty in the earthquake loading has to be considered in the liquefaction potential evaluation. Moreover the evaluation of liquefaction return period is not … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,741 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of 2D Multi Electrodes Resistivity Imagining for Sinkholes Hazard Assessment along the Eastern Part of the Dead Sea, JordanAbdallah S. Al-Zoubi, Abd El-Rahman A. Abueladas, Rami I. Al-Rzouq et al.Sinkholes and subsidence are natural phenomena can be occurred in shallow geology sediments at different regions in the world. Sinkholes assessment is one of the most difficult near subsurface investigations. Geophysical prospecting is appropriate method to determine environmental and geotechnical problems. 2D multi electrodes resistivity imagining with Wenner-Schulmberge array was conducted within active sinkholes area. The objective of the survey … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,049 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization and Geotechnical Properties of Penang Residual Soils with Emphasis on LandslidesFauziah Ahmad, Ahmad Shukri Yahaya, Mohd Ahmadullah FarooqiThe predominantly hilly terrain of Penang Island combined with average maximum daily temperatures ranging between 27-35°C and peak rainfall as high as 647 cm makes the overall area potentially susceptible to landslips. Over the recent past construction industry has shown a rapid growth mainly due to increase in the inflow of international tourists and other economic reasons. Eventually, the magnitude … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 8,230 accessesView PDFCite
