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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Investigation of agricultural crop products as a reinforcement material in Geotechnical engineering has brought both economic and environmental advantages due to rising cost of the physical and/or chemical methods of ...

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 ...

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 ...

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. ...
