This research is focused on finding the correlation of unconfined compressive strength (UCS) with Point load Index (PLI) of gneissic rocks, and to propose proper correlating value, based on a study carried out for Sri ...

Subsurface exploration is one of the major activities conducted to extract information for Geotechnical applications. Borehole construction is the most common direct exploration technique which provides exact information ...

Soil nailing is a soil reinforcement technique which is used to stabilize slopes by insertion of slender elements, called nails. When steep slopes are to be stabilized by soil nailing, practical problems are encountered ...
