Deformation Characteristics of Deep Excavation Supported by Contiguous pile wall On Soils Commonly Found in Addis Ababa

Anteneh, Geremew (Addis Ababa University, 2017-11)

A two dimensional Finite Element (2D FE) study is carried out in this thesis, considering soil-structure interaction. This thesis presents a study of the effects of deep excavations supported by tie-back anchored contiguous ...
Deformation Prediction of Ground Near Deep Excavation Using FEM & Hand Calculation

Gebrehiwot, Matiyas (Addis Ababa University, 2015-11)

Detail Investigation on Index Properties of Lateritic Soils: The Case of Nedjo-Mendi-Assosa

Dibisa, Jiregna (Addis Ababa University, 2008-03)

The classification properties and composition of lateritic soils, developed on Tertiary basalt, granite and metamorphic rocks like gneiss and Shists in Nedjo, Mendi and Assosa areas have been investigated. X-ray diffraction ...
Detemination of Parameters for The Tangent Modulus Approach

Nerea, Tesfay (Addis Ababa University, 2004-11)

The estimation of settlement often receive less attention than they deserve (or even not at all), with the result that excessive settlements cause far more problem than do bearing capacity failures. Settlement analysis is ...
Developing a Finite Element Computer Code for the Analysis of Rectangular Raft Foundations for a New Two Parameter Subgrade Model

Gebreegziabher, Gebretnsea (Addis Ababa University, 2019-07)

In order to design safe and economical foundation structure, it has to be analyzed appropriately. An analysis method is said to be appropriate if the real behavior of the materials is implemented in the computational ...
Developing Correlation Between Dynamic Cone Penetration Index (DCPI) and Unconfined Compression Strength (UCS) of the Soils in Alem Gena Town

Dirriba, Alemayehu (Addis Ababa University, 2017-06)

To find the Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) of the soil, a time consuming testing procedure of on undisturbed sample is required which demands significant effort. Therefore Correlations Dynamic Cone Penetration Index ...
Developing Correlation Between Dynamic Cone Penetration Index And Undrained Shear Strength of Soils that are Found In Debre Markos Town

Andualem, Gedeyon (Addis Ababa University, 2015-11)

Determination of the in-situ engineering properties of foundation materials has always been a challenge for practicing engineers in developing countries. Especially in a country like Ethiopia, where construction of small ...
Developing Correlation Between Index Properties and Swelling Potential of Expansive Soils Found in Sendafa Town, Ethiopia

Teshome, Mindaye (Addis Ababa University, 2015-11)

In this study, the relationship between index properties and swelling potential of expansive soil of Sendafa Town is examined. Soil swelling is a term generally applied to the ability of a soil to undergo large changes ...
Developing Correlation Between the Index Properties and Swelling Potential of the Expansive Soils Found in Ambo Town

Debelo, Nahom (Addis Ababa University, 2015-06)

A large surface area of Ambo town is covered by expansive soils which has a tendency to undergo volume change due to change in water content with seasonal moisture variation. Civil engineering structure constructed on ...
Developing Correlation Between the Index Properties and Swelling Potential of the Expansive Soils Found in Wolisotown

Gulilat, Asamnew (Addis Ababa University, 2016-02)

A considerable surface area of Woliso town is covered by expansive soils which have a tendency to undergo volume change due to change in water content with seasonal moisture variation. Civil engineering structure built ...
Development of a Finite Element Software for Computing Stresses and Deformations in Layered Soils

Dagnew, Hiruy (Addis Ababa University, 2014-07)

Stress and deformation are the two most basic parameters that a geotechnical engineer deals with while analyzing or recommending foundations for any type of structure. The two correlated parameters express the reaction a ...
Development of Design Aid for Tunnel Lining Design Using Analytical Method(Continuum)

Gebrewold, Tesfamichael (2015-11)

Tunnel support design is an itterative process including assumptions on support type installed and evaluating the support pressure it provides. The design of tunnels differs significantly from the design of plant and other ...
Effect Of Sample Height on Stress- Strain Behaviour of Undrained Shear Strength of Addis Ababa Red Clay Soil Using Ucs Test

Merga, Soressa (Addis Ababa University, 2016-10)

In this work, the effect of sample height (H/D) on the stress-strain behavior of undrained shear strength of red clay soil in Addis Ababa from a depth of 1.5m and 3m below the ground surface using unconfined compression ...
The Effect of Soil-Structure Interaction on Seismic Response of R A Study on Einforced Concrete Buildings Supported on Pile Foundations

Mequanenet, Birhan (Addis Ababa University, 2015-01)

In this study, the effects of soil-foundation-structure interaction effects are investigated for five reinforced concrete building structural models supported on pile foundations. The building models are assumed to be ...
Effect of Strain Rate on The Stress- Strain Relationship And Shear Strength of Addis Ababa Red Clay Soil

Admassu, Tirualem (Addis Ababa University, 2011-07)

This research work tries to see the effect of strain rate on stress-strain relationship and shear strength of red clay of Addis Ababa. It is tried to identify the effect of strain rate by conducting a series of triaxial ...
Effect of Strain Rate on Undrained Shear Strength and Sensitivity of Red Clay Soil Found in Addis Ababa

Rabia, Hussen (AAU, 2018-03)

Soil presents itself to be one of the most complicated materials owing to widespread variation of its properties which changes in both geometrical composition and time based contexts. For design and analysis of any ...
Effects of Different Fillers on the Mechanical Properties of Hot Mix Asphalt

Nigatu, Wudineh (AAU, 2015-11)

Asphalt concrete road construction is a crucial part of the Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP) of Ethiopia for building a high performance transportation networks for its economic development. Currently many asphalt ...
Evaluating Bearing Capacity of Layered Soils Using Finite Element Analysis Software

Hlina, Belachew (Addis Ababa University, 2017-12)

The bearing capacity of the foundation is a primary concern in the field of foundation engineering. Predicting ultimate bearing capacity of a footing on layered soil is very important as it is a requirement for any design. ...
Evaluating Behavior of Waffle Mat Foundation on Expansive Soil

Tewodros, Kefyalew (Addis Ababa University, 2019-10)
