The bearing strength of foundation soil is a major design criteria for civil engineering
structures. This study aims to estimate the bearing strength, namely California Bearing Ratio …

This paper assesses the effectiveness of steel fibers used along with the shear
reinforcement in the formation of the high grade fiber reinforced concrete. Shear strength of …

Extensive dune sand deposits cover specific areas of Iraq. Dune sands are often an
environment hazard during strong winds and sand storms particularly in the summer …

ABSTRACT A series of laboratory model tests was conducted to study the improvement in
bearing capacity of coarse sands compacted to a relative density of 50%. A surface footing …

Fundamentals and salient features of a projected heavy metals monitoring system are
discussed. Determination of mass concentrations is achieved by using a new dust emission …

The optimized cutting parameters are very important to control the required surface quality.
In the present study, Taguchi method is used to find the optimal cutting parameters for …

Uncertainties in geotechnical engineering are inevitable. The soil properties may disperse
within a significant range over a domain. Thus, the factor of safety is used in the deterministic …

The paper presents results of field load-settlement tests of full-scale foundations, resting on
soils reinforced with concrete piles of different vertical cross-sectional shapes. The study …

The Internal sulfate attack is considered as very important problem of concrete manufacture
in Iraq and Middle East countries. Sulfate drastically influence the properties of concrete …
