The Effect of Treated Waste-Water on Compaction and Compression of Fine Soil
Attom, Mousa; Abed, Farid; El-Emam, Magdi; Nazal, Munir; ElMessalami, Nouran (World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology, 2016)The main objective of this paper is to study the effect of treated waste-water (TWW) on the compaction and compressibility properties of fine soil. Two types of fine soils (clayey soils) were selected for this study and ... -
Influence of Foundation Rigidity on the Structural Response of Mat Foundation
Tabsh, Sami; El-Emam, Magdi (Hindawi Limited, 2021)A mat is a type of shallow foundation that is appropriate for structures supported on soil having relatively low bearing capacity or excessive settlement. Structural analysis of a mat foundation can be accomplished by ... -
