Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleAdsorption 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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEvaluation, Selection and Assessment of Guidelines for Chemical Stabilization of Tropical Residual SoilsBujang B.K. Huat, Asmidar Alias, Azlan Abdul AzizSoil stabilization has been widely used as an alternative to substitute the lacking of suitable materials on site. Guidelines and standards have been developed to assist practitioners in designing structures such as road by mean of stabilization. This paper presents the results of an investigation aimed at evaluating and assessing the suitable guidelines for the stabilization of tropical residual soils. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,652 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleCollapsibility and Volume Change Behavior of Unsaturated Residual SoilAzlan A. Aziz, Faisal H. Ali, chioong F. heng et al.Residual soils occur in most countries of the world but the greater areas and depths are normally found in tropical humid areas. In these places, the soil forming processes are still very active and the weathering development is much faster than the erosive factor. Most residual soil exhibit high suctions for most of the year. The absence of positive pore … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,121 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleStability Analysis and Stability Chart for Unsaturated Residual Soil SlopeBujang B.K. Huat, Faisal Hj. Ali, R. S.K. RajooIn tropical residual soils most hill slope failures are caused by rainfall. It is therefore important to consider dynamic hydrological conditions when attempting to analyze the stability of residual soil slopes. This paper describes a coupled hydrology/stability model that has been developed to overcome the limitations of the standard method of analysis used to investigate stability of tropical soil slopes. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,325 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleCharacterization 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
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleModified Shear Box Test Apparatus for Measuring Shear Strength of Unsaturated Residual SoilBujang B.K. Huat, Faisal Hj Ali, S. HashimResidual soils occur in most countries of the world but the greater areas and depths are normally found in tropical humid areas. Most of these soils exhibit high suctions for most of the year. The shear strength parameters, c’ and Φ’, of soil can be obtained using conventional shear strength tests. However the conventional shear strength test equipments would not … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,046 accessesView PDFCite
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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleA Study on Suction-rainfall Response of a Cut Slope in Unsaturated Residual Soil Using a Field Rain SimulatorBujang B.K. Huat, Faisal Hj. Ali, S. MariappanThis research describes the design and construction of an artificial rain simulator system and the results obtained with regards to suction-rainfall response of a cut slope in unsaturated residual soil of weathered sandstone of various weathering grades. From the field measurements, the shallow tensiometers are found to record an immediate initial increase in matric suction within the first 20 min … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,271 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleInfluence of Oil Contamination on Geotechnical Properties of Basaltic Residual SoilZulfahmi Ali Rahman, Umar Hamzah, Mohd. Raihan Taha et al.Problem statement: Oil contamination due to accidental spillage or leakage brings hefty damage to the environments. It percolates steadily into subsurface environments and contaminates the soil and water system. Hydrocarbon contamination has not just affected the quality of the soil but will also alter the physical properties of oil-contaminated soil. Approach: This study presented the geotechnical properties of oil-contaminated soils … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 10,265 accessesView PDFCite
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 PDFCite
