Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleRelationship Between Shear Strength and Soil Water Characteristic Curve of an Unsaturated Granitic Residual SoilThamer Ahmed Mohamed, Faisal Hj. Ali, S. Hashim, Bujang B.K. HuatShear strength parameters are crucial for stability analyses of slopes against slope failures and landslides. The three shear strength parameters that are required to define a failure envelope of an unsaturated soil are c’ (apparent cohesion), Φ’ (effective angle of friction) and Φb (shear strength change with change in matric suction). A soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) that relates the water … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,350 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleInfiltration Characteristics of Granitic Residual Soil of Various Weathering GradesFaisal H. Ali, Bujang B.K. Huat, T. H. LowThis study presents the result of a field study on the infiltration characteristics of cut a slope in granitic residual soil of various weathering grades. Granitic residual soil of weathering grade IV is found to have the highest infiltration rate. Water infiltration is found to increase from grade VI to IV and decrease from grade IV to grade III. Water … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,761 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMeasuring Hydraulic Conductivity Using Geotechnical CentrifugeNur Aishah Zarime, Wan Zuhairi Wan YaacobThis study investigated the validity of hydraulic conductivity value using Mini Column Infiltration Test. Granitic residual soils from Broga Selangor, Malaysia were tested to obtain the hydraulic conductivity value in relatively shorter time. Soil samples were physically characterized before being tested using Centrifuge Mini Column Infiltration Technique. A normal 1-g Falling Head Permeability Test (Kf) was also being performed as … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 6 Nov 2017 · 7,775 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdsorption of Nickel and Zinc by Residual SoilsNur ’Aishah Zarime, W. Y. Wan Zuhairi, Sivarama KrishnaSoil has long been utilized as low cost liner material to prevent contamination from leachate to groundwater media. To find a suitable soil material for this purpose is a great challenge. This study describes the potential use of residual soil to functions as engineered clay liner for waste disposal landfill in Malaysia. Three types of residual soils were investigated namely … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 5 Dec 2014 · 7,116 accessesView PDF Cite

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 PDF Cite
