The need to redevelop brownfield land for construction purpose led to develop several contamination treatment methods. These techniques of brownfield contamination treatment will be discussed in th
Triaxial shear strength test on soil measures the mechanical properties of the soil. In this test, soil sample is subjected to stress, such that the stress resulted in one direction will be differe
Groundwater is an important natural resource. The precipitation infiltrates into the ground and travels down until it reaches the impervious stratum where it is stored as groundwater. It is stored
There are various types of isolated footings such as spread footing, stepped footing, sloped footing etc. They are usually square, rectangular or circular in shape. Each type of footing is selected
Pile foundation is the most common type of deep foundation used to transmit structural loads, namely axial load and lateral load into the deeper layers of firm soil. It is required to understand th
Deep foundation is required to carry loads from a structure through weak compressible soils or fills on to stronger and less compressible soils or rocks at depth, or for functional reasons. Deep fo
Machine foundations are special types of foundations required for machines, machine tools and heavy equipments which have wide range of speeds, loads and operating conditions. These foundations are
There are three types of pile foundations according to their construction methods which are driven piles, cast-in-situ piles, and driven and cast-in-situ piles. Types of Pile Foundations Based on C
Types of shear failure of foundation soils Depending on the stiffness of foundation soil and depth of foundation, the following are the modes of shear failure experienced by the foundation soil. Ge
Types of Soil tests for building construction works depend on properties of soil. Design of foundation is based on soil test report of construction site.
