Based on the results of standard penetration tests (SPTs) conducted in Al-Basrah
governorate, this research aims to present thematic maps and equations for estimating the …

The Geographic Information System (GIS) is one of the modern database software which is
used to collect, analyze, display, processing and produce geographic information maps for a …

This paper evaluated the influence of Standard Penetration Test (SPT) correction factors,
namely the hammer energy efficiency, borehole diameter, drill rod length, and sampling …

Due to cost limitations, it is not practicable to experimentally investigate the soil
characteristics over the entire city. Given this, the study has focused on using a geographic …

Design of geotechnical structures requires an investigation of the soil properties which
considers a challenge because of the spatial variability of soil properties and also because …

The general assumption of linear variation of earth pressures with depth on retaining
structures is still controversial; investigations are yet required to determine those …

Shell foundations are often used to raise the carrying capacity of a structure on weak soils. In
cases where large superstructure loads must be transferred to poorer soils, shell …

The standard penetration tests are considered one of the most important tests to determine
the bearing capacity of the soil. In this research, a set of objective maps and equations were …

Abstract The Geographic Information System (GIS) is considered one of the most prominent
programs used to collect, analyze, display, process, and produce geographic information …

Screw piles are widely used in supporting structures subjected to pullout forces, such as
power towers and offshore structures, and this research investigates their performance in …
