The results have been compared with the published results for a similar structure. The present study is related to the monitoring of the piled raft supporting a 12 storied apartment building and the results have been subjected to validation through numerical analyses. While detailed investigations through field monitoring of the piled raft supporting several tall and heavily loaded structures have been reported (Hooper, 1974 Cooke et al., 1981 Poulos, 2008 Yamashita, 2012), it appears, not so many case histories exist on the applicability of piled raft in the case of moderately loaded structures. more The increasing recognition of the combined piled raft foundation system is mainly due to the economics and the savings that can be achieved in the foundation design without compromising the safety and serviceability requirements. The increasing recognition of the combined piled raft foundation system is mainly due to the econ. The ladle furnace slag is therefore one of the promising alternative low-cost materials for the soil-stabilizing application. Microstructures confirmed a highly compacted surface of mixed lateritic soil with ladle furnace slag. The values of the plasticity index were also comparable to the ordinary lateritic soil.

Meanwhile, the California bearing ratio of lateritic soil was highly improved with the addition of ladle furnace slag, owing to the hydration reaction between water and excess lime in ladle furnace slag with free silica in lateritic soil. The deterioration of California bearing ratio, liquid limit, and plastic index values were obtained when the electric arc furnace slag was mixed in lateritic soil. A scanning electron microscope was used to confirm the effect of those two slags on microstructures related to chemical components of raw materials and the strength of lateritic soil. Liquid limit, plasticity index, and the California bearing ratio of lateritic soil mixed with the slags were determined in comparison to those of ordinary lateritic soil. more The addition of electric arc furnace slag and ladle furnace slag on strength improvement of lateritic soil was studied in this work. The addition of electric arc furnace slag and ladle furnace slag on strength improvement of later. Also, overall improvements in the soil characteristics, such as enhanced shear strength, can be achieved by the addition of TDA in sand. It has been observed that TDA has significant influence on the shear and volume change behaviours of sand. In this study, the effect of the addition of TDA on the shear behaviour of sand was investigated using large scale direct shear and triaxial apparatus. Understanding the shear and volume change behaviours of TDA and sand mixture is critical before recommending the mixture as a suitable lightweight-reinforcing structural fill. Utilising TDA in infrastructure projects has multiple benefits including environmentally sustainable recycling and reuse of the scrap tyre thereby easing the consumption of natural fills, reduced material costs and enhanced geotechnical properties of the soil. One of the sustainable options is to utilise scrap tyre as tyre shreds/tyre chips (generally called as Tyre Derived Aggregate, TDA) and sand mixture as a lightweight fill material in the construction of infrastructure. more A significant amount of research has been carried out in recent years to investigate possible options on the reuse of scrap tyres in civil engineering applications. 2011 - 2021Ī significant amount of research has been carried out in recent years to investigate possible opt. 1 Contents SEAGS & AGSSEA Journal Vol.1 Table of contents SEAGS-AGSSEA Journal 2010-2020.2 Publications with selected Colleagues and Alumni.5 Selected Paper (Denmark, Norway, Sweden etc.).8 AGSSEA-SEAGS Selected Paper 2011-2017 (Vietnam).9 AGSSEA-SEAGS Selected Paper 2011-2017 (Japan).8 AGSSEA-SEAGS Selected Paper 2011-2017 (Australia).8 AGSSEA-SEAGS Selected Paper 2011-2017 (Hong Kong).7 AGSSEA-SEAGS Selected Paper 2011-2017 (Africa).6 Selected Paper (Bangladesh, Nepal, Saudi Arabia.).5 AGSSEA-SEAGS Selected Paper 2011-2017 (India).2 AGSSEA-SEAGS Selected Paper 2011-2017 (Korea).8 AGSSEA-SEAGS Selected Paper 2011-2017 (Taiwan).6 AGSSEA-SEAGS Selected Paper 2011-2017 (Singapore).4 AGSSEA-SEAGS Selected Paper 2011-2017 (Malaysia).5 AGSSEA-SEAGS Selected Paper 2011-2017 (Thailand).
