In this article we will discuss about crust. Introduction Of Crust Outermost solid shell of the planets is called as crust. The older, heavier continental crust and the denser, younger oceanic crust make up the majority of the Earth’s crust. Plate tectonics provides information about the dynamic geology of the Earth’s crust. The igneous processes … Read more

In this article we will discuss about geochemical sampling. It is the technical evaluation of earth’s materials. Let’s begin. What Is Geochemical Sampling? Geochemical sampling is the process of taking a tiny sample of Earth’s material and analyzing it to determine its mineralogy, composition, and grade in order to represent the entire region. The fundamental … Read more

In this article, I will discuss all the types of earthquake. Earthquake can be more or less harmful depend on its intensity. I have covered all the types of earthquake. Let’s Start! Different Types of Earthquake 1. Aftershock This type of earthquake occure after the primary earthquake. The location is same but intensity is low. … Read more

In this post, we will discuss all the major effects of earthquakes. A high intensity earthquake can be very dangerous to humans life. Various Effects of Earthquakes 1. Ground Movement When an earthquake occurs, seismic waves propagate horizontally or vertically, shaking structures in all directions. This can lead to loose joints and weakened structures, and … Read more

Introduction of Clay Soil Clay soil is fine grained natural soil consist of clay minerals. This type of soil is composed of very fine mineral particles and mostly organic matter are known as clay soils and benefit from high nutrient content. In this way, clayey soil retains high water holding capacity. Wet clay soils are … Read more

What is Cellular Confinement System? Cellular confinement systems is a soil stabilization and erosion control technique used in the field of construction. Cellular confinement also known as Geocell. This method is normally used on flat and steep slopes, waterway protection, and structural reinforcement for load bearing and soil retention. Typical cellular containment systems are geosynthetics … Read more

Mechanical Soil Stabilization Mechanical soil stabilization is the soil stabilization technique with the help of mechanical equipments. This process alter the physical behavior of the soil. Mechanical soil stabilization method uses compaction to consolidate soil aggregate particles. The grain size distribution of the soil should be such that it forms a dense mass when compacted. … Read more
