Geotechnical Behaviour Of Soil Containing Mixed Layered Illite-Smectite Contaminated With Caustic Alkali
(2008-01-29)
The aim of the thesis has been to evaluate and understand the effect of caustic alkali solution of varying composition on the behaviour of expansive soil containing mixed layered minerals. Mixed layered minerals are formed ...
Prediction Of Engineering Properties Of Fine-Grained Soils From Their Index Properties
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-04-27)
Prediction as a tool in engineering has been used in taking right judgement in many of the professional activities. This being the fact, the role and significance of prediction in geotechnical practice needs no emphasis. ...
Collapse Behaviour Of Red Soils Of Bangalore District
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-17)
Collapse phenomenon is exhibited by two types of residual soils. The first category of collapsing residual soils is believed to be transported soils that have undergone post-depositional pedogenesis. The second category ...
Two Dimensional Numerical Modelling Of Variably Saturated Flows
(Indian Institute of Science, 2007-02-21)
The prediction of moisture and contaminant transport through unsaturated soil to ground water is becoming increasingly important in the fields of hydrology, agriculture and environmental engineering. Computer aided simulation ...
Influence Of Osmotic Suction On The Swell And Compression Behaviour Of Compacted Expansive Clays
(2008-11-03)
Total suction of unsaturated soils is contributed by matric and osmotic suctions.
Matric suction arises from capillary actions in the soil structure and varies with changes in moisture content of the soil. Pore fluid ...
