<p>This work focuses mainly on the Geotechnical properties of mapped areas in Gombe town which forms part of the Upper Benue trough. Representative soil samples were collected from these areas and were investigated for their Geotechnical properties with a ...

The purpose of the study is to investigate the influence of porosity and void size on equivalent geotechnical engineering properties. The paper uses random field theory to generate models of geomaterials containing spatially random voids with controlled porosity ...

<p>This paper is a contribution for the application of Eurocode 7 design methodology, based on the limit state design (LSD) approach. The design methodology of Eurocode 7 is applied to a concrete gravity retaining structure resting on a relatively homogeneous ...

Flow-like landslides triggered by rainfall are very prominent in Nepal and Shikoku, Japan. In July 2002, many landslides occurred in the southern hills of the Nepalese capital, Kathmandu, because of torrential rainfall. A single flow-like landslide occurred ...

Identifying the properties of overlying rocks in underground mining operations is important to ensure the appropriate roof support design is used to maintain stability of the mine entries. Recently J. H. Fletcher & Co. developed a monitoring and control system ...

<p>Coal mining processes result in two general types of by-products: coarse coal refuse (CCR), a mixture of soil and rock commonly used to construct an impoundment coal refuse dam or embankment, and fine coal refuse (FCR) slurry, a mixture of soil, rock dust, ...
