107252-1.pdf Often the natural ground or soil is not mechanically strong enough to withstand the repeated applications of wheel loads without significant deformation. Therefore it is necessary to provide a structure between ...

It is very important to study applications of unsaturated soil properties in slope stability analysis due to the additional shear strength an unsaturated soil possesses. Shear strength of an unsaturated soil is strongly ...

Finite Element calculations are frequently used in the design of deep excavations because prediction of ground movements and wall deformation is not possible with classical limit equilibrium fixed earth support and free ...

Slope instability is a major environmental hazard, which is widely researched by Geotechnical engineers in the world. In general, there is a vast range of different mechanisms of slope failures. Shallow translational mode ...

Development of cost effective methods for improvement of engineering properties of peat is a need of the hour in Sri Lanka in view of the number of major infrastructure development projects that are proposed over the lands ...

The objectives of this research are, (I). establish a methodology that quantifies the severity levels of causative factor attributes that are rated subjectively, and (2). optimize weights and severity levels of the causative ...
