Glossary Term
The introduction of Prefabricated Vertical Drains improved ground improvement methods in large-scale construction, where conventional drainage systems were often slow and costly. PVDs are now used across infrastructure, land reclamation, and mining. Constructed from durable plastic, the drains support long-term soil consolidation and water flow. What are Prefabricated Vertical Drains (PVD) in civil engineering? Prefabricated… Continue reading Prefabricated vertical drain
What are pond ash embankments? Pond ash embankment is a human built structure from pond ash. It is a byproduct of coal combustion in thermal power plants. Pond ash embankments can be used for a variety of applications, including: Constructing roads and highways Raising the level of land Creating landfills… Continue reading Pond ash embankment
Polyester geogrid: Definition Polyester geogrids are polymer-based materials with a grid-like structure and large apertures, mostly fabricated from polyethylene terephthalate [PET], known for high tensile strength and durability. These geogrids are used basically for the reinforcement of soils. By nature, they become quintessential in most construction and engineering works. StrataGrid™ by Strata Global is a… Continue reading Polyester geogrid
In the constantly changing environment of civil engineering, pavement design is important in establishing structures that will stand the test of time. Whether you’re driving around a big city or riding on a country interchange, the moving surface you are on is a product of art and science. The roads are continuously becoming congested and… Continue reading Pavement design
What do paved roads mean? Paved roads are the most common engineered surfaces created using materials like asphalt or concrete designed to provide better transportation facilities. Paved roads withstand heavy loads and reduce the wear and tear on vehicles leading to increased mobility. Today, approximately 94% roads utilize asphalt, a testament to its cost-effectiveness and… Continue reading Paved roads
MSE wall repair Introduction In civil engineering projects, MSE (Mechanically Stabilised Earth) walls are used to support slopes, embankments, and withstand lateral earth pressures. It may, however, eventually sustain deterioration or damage, just like any other retaining structure. Although MSE walls are repairable, MSE refers to the wall construction technique rather than the repair procedure.… Continue reading MSE wall repair
Identifying the meaning of MSE in the construction field MSE is an abbreviation that means ‘‘mechanically stabilized earth’’ in construction. MSE is applied where the construction of a structure is necessary; the majority of the time, retaining and soil structures are reinforced utilizing man-made objects. This is due to the fact that the method is… Continue reading Mechanically stabilised earth wall
What is mechanical soil stabilization? Mechanical stabilization of the soil has been accepted as part of civil engineering soil improvement works in construction to meet the requirements. It increases the soil’s shear strength, durability, and load-carrying capacity to meet different structural demands. Therefore, mechanical stabilization supports the soil material to provide a safe foundation for… Continue reading Mechanical soil stabilization
What is leachate? Leachate is a form of pollution that results from the interaction of water with solid waste materials; normally, it is found in municipal landfills. This liquid results from physical, chemical, or biological transformations that occur during disposal through contact with waste materials with water or other fluids. Leachate, often toxic and hazardous… Continue reading Leachate
What is a landfill? A landfill is an engineered site designed for the safe disposal of waste materials, preventing environmental contamination. Landfills manage both non-hazardous and hazardous waste, with specific measures to contain and neutralize hazardous substances over time. The uses of landfills are diverse and critical. These are used for managing residential, commercial, and… Continue reading Landfill expansion
