Geotechnical performance using alkaline activated fly ash for soil mixtures with and without polypropylene fibers
Soil stabilization is one of the well-known methods to treat problematic soils. Its advantages over soil replacement are that of low cost and fast implementation. Alkaline activation (geopolymerezation) of soft soils is a new technique that has been addressed recently to stabilize soft soils. …

Performance of short piled raft foundation system on peat soil under static load
Peat is known as problematic soil, because has low shear strength and high compressibility characteristics. Particular attention should be paid, when building a construction on it. In recent years, there is no special established foundation structure for peat yet, without any treatment of soil. …

Application of electrokinetic remediation on contaminated alluvial soils in Sri Gading, Batu Pahat,
… contained in the most radiation-contaminated soil by using the most optimised electrokinetic remediation technique. This novel study that saved time and costs based on electrokinetic optimisation was the ultimate vision to be discovered on this thesis. In addition, reduction in terrestrial …

Study on the performance of different slope inclination of vegetated roof
The vegetated roof is well known for its aesthetic value and is able to save the ecological system. It has the potential to reduce rainwater and air run before it gets to the surface. Rainwater is collected in this system before it is released into the drainage system (drains). The purpose of this …

Nondestructive investigation of soil moisture level using optical system
Soils are one of the essential resources consisting of unconsolidated mineral or organic material on the surface of the Earth; it plays an important role in the growth of land plants. Soil testing is an effort to assess the soil constituents and moisture level; this information is useful to …

Characterization of soft soil using multi-channel analysis of surface waves (MASW) and electrical resistivity method (ERM)
This thesis demonstrates the research on the soft soil characteristics using geophysical methods. The need on non-intrusive, time efficient, economic and larger volume of investigation had increased the demand of using geophysical methods for geotechnical investigation. The research concentrates on …

Effect of reconstituted method on shear strength properties of peat
Peat is an organic soil contains more than 75% organic content. Shear strength of the soil is one of the most important parameters in engineering design, especially during the pre-construction and post-construction periods, since used to evaluate the foundation and slope stability of soil. Peat …

Soil compaction of peat under the influence of electrokinetic stabilization (EKS) treatment
… Peat is considered as one of the problematic soil in construction projects all over the world, which covers about 4% land of the whole world while 8% of the total area of Malaysia and about (5.86%) of peat soil existing in Johor state. Low shear strength of peat may lead to massive loss of …

Influence of penetration force in clay soils due to speed rate effect
… rate on the penetration resistance in clayey soils for five different speeds of penetrations. In order to install the pile through hydraulic system, it is crucial to understand the required penetration force needed to do the job. Generally, the penetration force and speed will be different for …

Development of instrumented oedometer incorporated with bender element and electrical conductivity
Soft soils are normally associated with high moisture content and fine-grained particles possessing poor geotechnical properties such as low shear strength and high compressibility. Solidification, using hydraulic binders could be adopted to improve these poor properties. The compressibility of …

Combining seismic and geotechnical methods to improve the prediction of physical soil properties
… geotechnical data allowing it to be adopted in engineering designs. However, the procedures and analysis of bender element (BE) data can be subjected to crucial errors due to several limitations in the BE tools such as the magnitude of seismic source and frequency range. In addition, little …
