Influence of Compaction Technique on Shear Strength of Modified Subgrade Soil
Abstract: The subgrade soil is considered as the foundation for the roadway structure, it is responsible to provide the required stability for the overlaying pavement layers and to limit the deformation due to traffic load repetitions by furnishing homogeneous stress distribution. For poor soil condition, grid reinforcement or Asphalt stabilization techniques are usually implemented to control the deformation and improve shear strength of poor granular subgrade soil. In this work, the …

Towards a Geotechnical Input-Based Conceptual Cost Estimating Methodology for Highway Projects
Abstract: The trend in the literature reveals a wide range of innovative approaches which have been proposed to improve the accuracy of conceptual estimates. These techniques are usually based on differing analytical approaches. Although these techniques obtain estimates that closely approximate actual costs, the requisite time and resources to gather sufficient data or obtain relevant information during initial project stages may not be possible. The study proposes that for a road …

Flow Characteristics of Triangular Plan Form Weir
Abstract: Weirs are used for discharge measurement and flow diversion in the open channels. However, modified weirs such as plan form weirs, Labyrinth weir, oblique weir and piano key weir, etc. having larger crest length compared to normal weir having same lateral space assist in enhancing discharging capacity for a given upstream head, without creating much afflux. An experimental study was carried out to understand the effect of the geometry of …

Earthquake Resistant Design of an Intze Type RCC Overhead Tank
Abstract: It is well recognised that liquid storage tanks possess low ductility and energy absorbing capacity compared to conventional building. Accordingly, various design codes and guidelines provide higher level of design seismic forces for tanks. In this design principle for Intze type water tank, provisions from working stress method for static analysis and IITKGSDMA guidelines for dynamic analysis have been incorporated. Intze type water tank is used for high capacity storage …

Artificial Neural Network Model to Predict Reservoir Storage
Abstract: The rapid growth in population increases water demand thus resulting in scarcity of water which is due to improper management rather than lack of resources. Reservoir is the most important source for surface water. So, reservoir storage plays a crucial role in efficient reservoir management. Artificial neural network (ANN) is capable of simulating reservoir storage capacity. So, in present work cascade forward back propagation and feed forward back propagation network …
