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
Jet grouting is used for soil stability. In this blog post, I will discuss jet grouting in detail. In the modern construction, stability of soil is very important to bear the high amount load. Jet grouting has a long past history as a ground improvement technique. Even in the present scenario, the demand of jet … Read more
A gabion is a welded wire cage or box filled structure with materials such as stone, concrete, sand or dirt. A gabion is a semi-flexible block structure used in construction to anchor slopes and protect them from erosion. Various types of gabions are built and used in various engineering structures. Gabions are very simple structure. … Read more
Parallel seismic pile test is performed to check the quality of pile foundation. It is a non-destructive surface method used to test the quality of pile foundations. It is used to calculate the length and integrity of pile foundations that are not accessible (too long, too thin, or buried under pile caps). If we compare … Read more
Introduction Civil engineers conceive, design, build, supervise, operate, construct and maintain infrastructure projects and systems in the public and private sector, including roads, buildings, airports, tunnels, dams, bridges, and systems for water supply and sewage treatment. Many civil engineers work in planning, design, construction, research, and education. Civil engineers typically analyze long range plans, survey … Read more
In this post, we will talk about Mackintosh Probe Test. The Macintosh probe test is used for research purposes, especially soil exploration. The Macintosh Probe Test is used to determine the bearing capacity, that is, the strength of the soil. The results obtained from the test provide a rough estimate of the soil layer at … Read more
A Pile integrity test (PIT) is a method to check the quality of the integrity of piles. It is a quality assessment test of piles. According to ASTM D5882, pile integrity comprises the material’s physical dimension, continuity, and consistency. The physical dimension includes the length and the cross-section of the pile, while the continuity of … Read more
A reservoir is a man-made lake where water is accumulate. Typically reservoirs are created by building dams across rivers. A reservoir can be made from a native lake whose outlet has been dammed to control the water level. The dam controls how much water that streams out of the reservoir. It is stored only in … Read more
In this article, we will talk about engineering colleges/universities in Saudi Arabia. In Saudi Arabia, you can find lots of top-ranked colleges that take their rightful place next to some of the top international university names out there. The engineering profession is highly demanded in Saudi Arabia but most of the engineers are expatriates in Saudi … Read more
