The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) is often used to estimate the soil parameters for geotechnical design projects, using the NSPT index. However, these estimates are performed based on empirical correlations without any scientific basis. Moreover, the test has a large inherent results dispersion due to the us...
View ArticleFoundation engineering has continually sought to understand the behavior of piles subjected to loads and their influence on the overall structural behavior. Recently, more load tests are being performed in construction due to the recommendations of the NBR6122/2010 Brazilian code. The available literature offers few reports on pile behavior in a faulty ...
View ArticlePresent investigation intends to examine the mechanical behaviour of compacted coal fly ash – carbide lime mixes to assess their potential use as a sub-base/base material for low volume roads. This study plans to compute the impact of carbide lime content and dry density on the properties (durability and strength) of compacted coal fl...
