  Admixtures Effect on Consistency Limits and Shrinkage Characteristics of Expansive Soil

  By Anuja Narayanan

  Abstract: Effective usage of admixtures into the soil mixtures improves the characteristics of the soil for better construction. Particularly admixtures such as rice husk ash (RHA), quarry dust (QD) and flyash (FA) showed greater effect on the two types of expansive soils namely black cotton soil (BCS) and clayey soil. The percentage of admixtures is in the range of 0 to 30% at an interval of 10%. This study showed effective …

  Seismic Bearing Capacity of Strip Footing Subjected to Eccentric Load

  By Tinku Biswas, Sitender Chhilar, Ravinder Panwar

  Abstract: Reinforced soil bed is improved soil strata from its weak unreinforced original form. By introducing reinforcing ties or strips the soil bed improves on its strength and is rendered less settleable. The compensations of introducing reinforcements have been widely studied by many researchers. The present work has evaluations, formulations and calculations for bearing capacity under certain seismic excitation when the strip footing on reinforced soil was subjected to eccentric loading. …

  Seismic Hazard Assessment of Dehradun City

  By Tinku Biswas, Neeraj Kumar, Sonam Kumari

  Abstract: Seismic hazard assessment refers to an estimation of ground motion parameters at any site or region. In the present study seismic hazard assessment is performed for the Dehradun city which lies in a highly seismic region in the Himalayan foothills. Based on the seismicity data provided by IMD, New Delhi and Seismotectonic Atlas of India (GSI, 2000), seismicity was described and 24 seismotectonic sources were identified in the study area. …
