Advancing the Strength of Expansive Soil using BioEnzyme and Pond-Ash
Abstract: Expansive soils are problematic and prone to ground movements, which can seriously harm underlying structures and reduce their carrying ability. The expansive nature of soils is activated by moisture fluctuations, causing it to expand and contract. There are many stabilizing chemicals that have been used to treat Black Cotton soil, including lime, cement, and fly ash. Recently, it has become clear that using bio-enzymes to stabilize soil has a lot …

A Comparative Study on Contaminated and Uncontaminated Soils Surrounding the Municipal Wastes Disposal Site
Abstract: Increase in population and industrialization has been creating space problems in and around the cities for habitation. In addition, the cities have been facing disposal problems of solid and liquid wastes generated from industrial and residential areas. Disposal of municipal solid wastes without planned way in any city has been causing air, water and soil pollution in the vicinity of dump site. The wastes disposal can alter the engineering properties …

Predicting the Influence of Permeability’s on Settlement of Shallow Foundation
Abstract: Foundation settlement rose as soil permeability increased, excess pore pressure increased with depth, and decreased as shear modulus increased. The expanding soil cycle (shrinkage and expansion) that is principally responsible for foundation settlement is strongly related to water content. The application of modeling and simulation was used to monitor the effect of various soil properties on foundation settlement. But the focus of this study is on Permeability including other soil …
