Alleviation of Piping of Soil using Human Hair Fibres
Piping is a subsurface type of disintegration which includes the expulsion of subsurface soils in pipe like channels to a break exit. It principally happens in generally loose soils with high porousness. Henceforth, successful countermeasures are required and soil reinforcements as support strategy is valuable in this application. Past examinations have reasoned that piping resistance […]
Stabilization of Black Cotton Soil using GGBS Ground Granulated Blast Furnace and Slag
The Black Cotton soils occurs mostly in the central and western parts and covers approximately 20 of the total area of India. Because of its high swelling and shrinkage characteristic, The Black Cotton soil have been a challenge to the highway engineers. The Black Cotton soil is very hard when dry, but loses strength completely […]
Survey Datasets on Categories of Factors Mitigating Safety Practices on Construction Sites
Construction sites are known to be one of the most dangerous areas for human health and safety. In developing countries, enforcement of safety rules are often negligible to minimize occupational injuries and illnesses. The success of any construction project is highly depending on health and safety management and its objective is to obtain a clear […]
Modification of Bituminous Mix by Adding Waste Polythene
Bituminous mixes are most commonly used all over the world in flexible pavement construction. It consists of asphalt or bitumen which binds mineral aggregate to make a homogeneous mix, laid down in layers and then compacted. In normal condition, conventional flexible pavements if designed and constructed properly as per the specifications, perform quite satisfactorily but […]
Effects of Different Types of Sulphates and Concentrations on Steel
Steel which is indispensable in infrastructures, transportation and manufacturing has a major drawback which is its susceptibility to deterioration corrosion that causes economic damage. Some structural failures cannot be unconnected to steel deterioration. Different factors cause deterioration of steel and steel structures but less attention has been given to the sulphate attack based on surrounding […]
