Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEngineering Properties and Compressibility Behavior of Tropical Peat SoilYouventharan Duraisamy, Bujang B.K. Huat, Azlan A. AzizThis paper presents the engineering properties and compressibility behavior of various types of tropical peat soil collected from several locations in Malaysia. These soils represented fibric, hemic and sapric type of tropical peat with organic content ranging from 70% to 90%. The correlations of the various basic engineering properties of the tropical peat soils have been found to be close … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 8,570 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEDGE PRESERVED IMAGE COMPRESSION USING EXTENDED SHEARLET TRANSFORMS. Thayammal, D. SelvathiThe motivation of the proposed compression method is to reduce the bit rate for image transmission or memory requirement for image storage while maintaining image quality. The edges are one of the prominent features in an image and they are essential for maintaining image quality. JPEG compression standards like JPEG98 and JPEG2000 produce visual artifacts in reconstructed image at low … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 15 Sep 2014 · 7,041 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReliability Assessment of Buckling Strength for Compressed Cylindrical Shells with Interacting Localized Geometric ImperfectionsJalal El Bahaoui, Abdellatif Khamlichi, Larbi El Bakkali, Ali LimamProblem statement: Elastic cylindrical shells are common structures in the fields of civil engineering and engineering mechanics. These thin-walled constructions may undergo buckling when subjected to axial compression. Buckling limits to large extent their strength performance. This phenomenon depends hugely on the initial distributed or localized geometric imperfections that are present on the shell structure. Localized geometric imperfections result in … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 4 Nov 2010 · 8,320 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Investigation on Geomechanical Properties of Tropical Organic Soils and PeatBujang B.K. Huat, Afshin Asadi, Sina KazemianProblem statement: Organic soils and peat were believed to be geotechnically problematic due to their very high compressibility, very low shear strength and difficult accessibility. Although conventional soil mechanics theory could be applied to the soils, it was found that important anomalies existed which required special considerations. Correlations between geomechanical parameters for the soils were known to be important for … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 10,172 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
