Reinforced soil is composite material which is formed by the associating of frictional soil and tension resistant elements in the form of sheets, strips, nets or mats of metal, synthetic fabrics or fibre reinforced plastics and arranged in the soil mass in such a way as to reduce or supress the tensile strain which night develop under gravity and boundary forces. It is well known that most granwar soils are strong in compression and shear and weak in tension. The performance of such soils can be improved by introducing reinforcing elements in t ....etc

Liquefaction
Liquefaction is a physical process that takes place during some earthquakes that may lead to ground failure. As a consequence of liquefaction, soft, young, water-saturated, well sorted, fine grain sands and silts behave as viscous fluids rather than solids.
Liquefaction takes place when seismic shear waves pass through a saturated granular soil layer, distort its granular structure, and cause some of its pore spaces to collapse.
The collapse of the granular struct ....etc

Liquefaction and related phenomena have been responsible for tremendous amounts of damage in historical earthquake around the world. Especially, its devastating effects sprang to the attention of geotechnical engineers in a three-month period in 1964 when the Niigata earthquake in Japan followed the Good Friday earthquake in Alaska. Evaluation of liquefaction resistance of soils is an important step in many geotechnical investigations in earthquake-liable region. The most common procedure around the world for evaluating liquefaction resistance ....etc

Use of plastic products such as polythene bags, bottles, containers and packing strips etc. is increasing day by day. As a result amount of waste plastic also increased. This will leads to various environmental problems. Many of the wastes produced today will remain in the environment for many years leading to various environmental concerns. Therefore it is necessary to utilize the wastes effectively with technical development in each field. Many by-products are being produced using the plastic wastes. This paper presents the details of studies ....etc

SEMINAR REPORT ON EVALUATION OF FLOW LIQUEFACTION AND LIQUEFIED SHEAR STRENGTH USING CONE PENETRATION TEST


ABSTRACT

Flow liquefaction is a major design issue for large soil structures such as mine tailings impoundments and earth dams. If a soil is strain softening in undrained shear and, hence, susceptible to flow liquefaction, an estimate of the resulting liquefied shear strength is required for stability analyses. Many procedures have been published for estimating the residual or liquefie ....etc
