Glossary Term
What is soil separation? The soil separation removes the contaminated concentrates from soils, leaving behind soil that is much cleaner and considered safe. Soil separation is also known as soil fractionation. This process is essential in understanding the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soil. Types of soil separation methods Soil pollution poses many environmental… Continue reading Soil separation
Meaning of slope stability The stability of slopes is very important in any construction on hilly grounds whether it is a road or railway, building foundation or a large dugout. It refers to the situation in which a slope remains intact without any failure or collapse. It is a critical aspect of geotechnical engineering, as… Continue reading Slope stability
What is slope retention: definition, types and importance in civil engineering Slope retention is the techniques and structures to stabilize and protect sloped terrains from soil erosion, structural failure, and aesthetic degradation. These systems are also known as anchored mesh systems. Slope retention improves aesthetics and promotes environmental sustainability using retaining structures, vegetation, and other… Continue reading Slope retention
In civil engineering, embankments significantly stabilize structures where natural topography does not meet the standards. Materials like soil, sand, and stones are used to raise the levels of railway lines, dams and roads above the ground. Sand has engineering properties of drainage and compaction and it has good strength and permeability making it ideal for… Continue reading Sand embankments
What is a retaining wall? A retaining wall is a structure that checks soil eroding and sliding. It may be used to control runoff and prevent flooding. The choice of materials like masonry, wood, or concrete for retaining walls depends on the design requirements and site limitations. What is the purpose of retaining walls? They… Continue reading Retaining walls
What is reinforcement in civil engineering? Reinforcement in civil engineering means to add additional materials such as steel, fabrics, or geosynthetics products to concrete or other such construction materials to improve the overall strength and durability of the foundation. In a layman language, reinforcement means incorporating these substances to improve the structural aspects of constructions… Continue reading Reinforcement
Reinforced soil walls (RSWs), known as mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls, are structures that mix soil with reinforcement materials for better stability in civil engineering. RSWs are used as they resist lateral soil pressure from granular materials and/or earth fills. They offer a cost-effective solution and excel in the complex design of high structures at… Continue reading Reinforced soil wall
Reinforced soil: techniques, applications, and benefits in civil engineering Reinforced soil or soil reinforcement is a topic of major importance in civil engineering and provides modern advancements to enhance soil mechanical behavior by giving additional internal structures. What is meant by reinforced soil? Reinforced soil is the composite material of natural soil and man-made fibrous… Continue reading Reinforced soil
What are railway beds? Railway beds are the structural foundation that reinforces the railway tracks and trains. They are also known as track beds or track foundations. It consists of components like ballast, ties and subgrade. Track beds play an indispensable role in ensuring the stability, safety, and performance of rail systems. These beds support… Continue reading Railway beds
The concept of pull-out resistance plays an essential role in geotechnical engineering and construction projects. It determines how well geosynthetics and soil anchors stay firmly lodged under tension. Proper pull-out resistance is vital for ensuring the safety and stability of structures as it assists in the prevention of failures and thereby structural integrity. It is… Continue reading Pull out resistance
