Organic soil deposits under road embankments may cause consolidation settlement problems during the serviceability stage. It is not feasible to design road traces on such soil deposits using the traditionally used most ...

The research primarily was based on application of principles of GIS (Geographical Information System) technology in the field of Geotechnical Engineering. With the objectives being laid towards a model to be applied in ...

Use of grounds with soft compressible layers at shallow depths for development projects requires the use of pile foundations to support the structural loads. Piles installed through soft compressible soil layers are subjected ...

The composition of natural deposits of peaty soil may vary considerably among different sites, as do their engineering properties. Peat, generally formed in marshy and water logged areas, is usually dark brown to black in ...

Testing of bored piles is carried out to investigate the load-settlement behavior of the tested pile. The pile is loaded upto about l.5 times the working load to establish the loadsettlement behavior. The termination of ...

Capacity estimation of piles using dynamic methods is considered in this paper. Commonly used dynamic methods in Sri Lanka, high strain dynamic load testing and pile driving equations are considered in detail. The accuracy ...

Testing of piles using high strain dynamic load testing using Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA) has become very popular among Sri Lankan geotechnical engineers. In the high strain dynamic pile load testing, a pile instrumented ...

Excessive settlement of engineering structures and subsequent correction procedure have become a major concern for both the public and the engineering community. The severity of the above problem has increased due to the ...

Piles can be classified into three categories depending on the amount of soil displaced during installation: (i) Large volume displacement piles: (ii) Small volume displacement piles and: (iii) Replacement piles. Installation ...

Road embankments on organic soil deposits cause stability issues during the construction stage and consolidation settlement problems during the post construction stage. As the conservative approach, which designs road ...
