For this project I learnt and gained proficiency in several civil engineering topics like retaining walls, Standard compaction test, Direct shear test and Geotechnical engineering methods, etc. I have done thorough research before design work and got expertise in retaining walls & its operation. I have taken several examples as references available in academic books, like how to design and which parameters to be considered, explained below in detail: CE 3.6 In this project, I designed and executed
ability to develop 3D models of the ground surface as well as slip surfaces and piezometric surfaces. Wang et al. described a KBS used for the investigation of potential landslides (Wang et al, 1994). The system contains knowledge relating to the geotechnical properties, the spatial distribution of an unstable zone, methods of treatment and
his letter dated December 7, 2015. Mr. Jonathan Lovekin, the Senior Engineering Geologist for the Colorado Geological Survey stated that the geologic hazards at this site are challenging and have not been fully evaluated or addressed at that time. However, he did conclude by saying “we agree that they can be mitigated to allow the proposed residential use and density.” In February, Rickie Davies, Senior Planner in the Engineering Department commented in an email to you that Eagle County Land Use Regulation

compressible it can cause subsidence to adjacent surface structures. Physical conditions of existing structures should be obtained and laboratory tests taken to provide information, which is clear about the behaviour of the surrounding structures. (Geotechnical site investigations 1986) • Effects that coal mining have on the soil; could cause soil contamination and erosion and it will affect the chemical as well as physical properties of the soil. Soil will become loose and also lose
INTRODUCTION : Construction of roads in black cotton soil areas has been problematic due to their low bearing capacity and the detrimental effects of volume instability arising from swelling and shrinkage characteristics of such soils during wet and dry seasons. Such problems assume greater acuteness where the water table is high and clayey subsoil stratum is thick. A Perfect example of a case history study can be considered from “Gudivada-Bantumilli” State Highway, which passes through a plain
ORIGIN OF LOSS: This loss is a result from overflow into risk. We meet with insured and her daughter in law. They showed me where the mitigation had done removal and demo, bathroom, master bathroom and bedroom. They stated same as listed on loss notice that they woke up to water from an unknown source. The insured called plumber who snaked line because there was blockage in the line that caused the overflow. Plumber referred Mitigation Company that he has a relationship with. All Claims Repairs
Bangladesh is prone to various disasters having immense harmful consequences associated with different natural and man-made hazards. Among most of the natural hazards, Landslide is being prioritized as a matter of great concern as a result of its devastating nature. South-eastern part of Bangladesh is very much prone to this hazard with long history of instability since the people have been living there though there is not enough record of incidents. Landslides are frequently resulting in losses
SILT. Submitted In Partial Fulfillment For The Award Of The Degree Of MASTERS OF TECHNOLOGY IN CIVIL ENGINERING With Specialization In GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING By Arvind Kumar (Roll No. 2K13/GTE/04) Under The Guidance Of Prof. A.

Sahu Department of Civil Engineering Delhi Technological University, Delhi Department Of Civil Engineering Delhi Technological University, Delhi-110042, 2015 DELHI TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY, DELHI CERTIFICATE This is to certify that the major project-2
STEEL IN THE AIR Let’s get started, the project chosen will be the construction of a monopole telecommunication cell tower reaching 150 feet tall. A geotechnical engineer will determine the exact location of the tower after soil samples are taken to determine the location of the caisson and slab foundation of the tower. Following the location determination and the staking of the tower, a shaft will need to be drilled in the ground for the caisson that will later have a steel plate
