Monitoring of heat transmission from buildings into geological environment and evaluation of soil deformation consequences in foundation engineering
(SPRINGER, 2014)
In engineering geology a number of factors affecting foundation conditions are taken into consideration during engineering-geological investigations. This article deals with the factor of heat sourced from a structure ...
The effect of different types of water on the swelling behaviour of expansive clays
(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2014)
In the design of foundations of structures, especially light buildings, on clayey soils, the main soil behaviours to be considered are swelling properties and surface heave. Therefore, determination of swelling properties ...
Gypsum: An additive for stabilization of swelling clay soils
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2009)
Low rise buildings are particularly vulnerable to ground movements sourced from swelling and shrinking of the expansive clay soils. Geotechnical engineers have long recognized that swelling of expansive clays caused by ...
