Adopting Geophysical Testing Techniques in Geotechnical Investigation and Shallow Foundation Design
Amer, Mohammad (2018-05) -
Analysis of Non-Yielding Basement Wall Adjacent to Strip Footing
Touqan, Majid Omar (2016-05)Foundation depth below the ground surface is one of the major factors that contributes to the bearing capacity and settlement of shallow foundation. Hence, it is common to find adjacent buildings on shallow foundations ... -
Dynamic Properties of Soil in UAE from Field and Laboratory Tests
Khalil, Ahmed Mohsen (2020-12)Dynamic properties of soil are important for the design of structures under seismic loadings. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is experiencing significant construction development; however, there is no systematic study to ... -
Finite Element-Based Parametric Analysis of Mat Foundations
Partazian, Pouya (2016-04)Raft or mat foundation is a thick reinforced concrete slab covering the entire contact area of the structure and supporting heavy loads from superstructure to a large area of soil. This type of foundation is employed in ... -
Lateral Earth Pressure on Non-Yielding Walls Supporting Over-Consolidated Sand
Bigdeli, Amin (2013-07)The most important problem associated with retaining wall structures is the additional compaction-induced lateral earth pressure. Currently, none of the available design methods used to calculate the lateral earth force ... -
Seismic Site Response, Analysis and Characterization of Major Cities in UAE
Irfan, Muhammad (2011-06)United Arab Emirates (UAE) has experienced significant economic growth in recent years. The accelerated schedule driven projects are compelling designers to use values of seismic hazard (ground motion) that are either ... -
Sliding Resistance of Serrated-Base Quay Walls
Jaroor, Maryam Omran (2021-11)Waterfront retaining structures, such as quay walls, play important roles in the safety and operation of ports and harbours. Designing waterfront structures under critical loads and conditions is one of the important topics ... -
Soil Characterization Utilizing GPR Technique
Al Kej, Fateh Tamam (2017-11)Engineering properties of soil, such as shear strength parameters, water content, degree of saturation, and permeability are essential for safe and economic design of any structure involving soil structure ...
