Effect of Opening Shapes and Sizes on the Gravity Dam
Abstract: Design of gravity dams is an important issue in dam engineering. Opening in the dam plays a vital role in the failure of the gravity dam. In the present work finite element analysis of the gravity dam for different opening shapes and sizes are studied. Koyna dam is considered for the analysis. Study of stress concentration and deformation generated in the dam is conducted in the present work. Two different …

Correlation Between CBR Values and Index Properties of Soils
Abstract: Presently India’s infrastructure is growing rapidly. Large number of new urban and lightly trafficked roads are being constructed or planned. The California bearing ratio (CBR) is the well known, common and trustful test currently used in road construction. The CBR values are used by the engineers to design the thickness of pavement layer to be laid on the top of the sub-grade. Laboratory tests like consistency tests, standard proctor test …

Stabilization of Landslide Affected Soil Using Silica Fume Glass Fiber Powder and Sodium Silicate
Abstract: Highly swelling soils are present in many parts of Tamil Nadu and they are highly problematic in utilizing for the structural purpose. Numerous studies were conducted using several materials for stabilizing them; through literature study it’s found that a single material such as lime or cement is not suitable for stabilizing the concerned soil owing to several bottlenecks. In this study we had made an elaborate attempt to utilize manufactured …
