This research work examines the utilization of cement in order to improve low plasticity clay soil. The soil samples treated with 2, 4 and 6% cement percents and cured for different curing times extended to 90 days. Laboratory investigations include unconfined compression, indi... View Article
Different fluids can permeate the soil collapsing at various levels of severity depending on their physicochemical characteristics. This work evaluated the effect of pH and electrical conductivity (ECf) of different soaking fluids on the collapsible behavior of a lateritic silty clay. Double and single oedometer tests were performed using four chemicall...
View ArticleTabriz, as one of the most earthquake-prone cities in the Iran plateau, has experienced enormous earthquakes that have even destroyed the city altogether. Considering this seismological background and the vicinity of Tabriz’s northwestern fault, reducing the possible ... View Article
The use of geothermal energy for heating and cooling purposes is an environmentally-friendly and cost-effective alternative with the potential to replace fossil fuels and help to mitigate global warming as well. The paper illustrates the geothermal potential evaluation of a portion of the Lyon-Turin base tunnel considering the thermal activation of the ...
