<p>This paper presents the development of a shallow foundation system consisting of mat foundations for support of all structures including heavily loaded, settlement sensitive structures at a recently completed Polysilicon Plant in China. The site grading ...

In this study, a geotechnical testing program was conducted to evaluate the engineering properties of old municipal solid waste sampled in Whamyung MSW landfill site, Busan, Korea.

<p>In order to assess the influence of different foam types on compressibility behavior of conditioned sand, a set of tests were performed on three gradation of sandy soil. Some index tests were also undertaken for verifying foam agents characteristics and ...

<p>Secure stability and reliable serviceability of radioactive dump is a difficult engineering problem. Due to difficult geological formations determined mainly by great compressibility, low shear strength of soils, and high ground water level, or great upward ...

<p>An alternative procedure to determine the hydraulic conductivity function (k-function) based on relationships between saturated hydraulic conductivity and void ratio and between air-entry value and void ratio is proposed. The procedure was applied to determine ...

<p>The outcomes of this study can provide insight into the swelling and the compressibility behavior of soil - bentonite mixtures, between non-swelling materials and swelling materials. A simple swell and compression laboratory test has been conducted for ...

The deformation behaviour during construction, on first filling and post first filling has been analysed from a database of some 134 embankments, including earthfill, zoned earthfill, zoned earth and rockfill and puddle core earthfill embankments. Factors ...
