Common methods of Soil Investigation in the EUA

Soil investigation is imperative for various geological reasons. In most cases, subsurface investigation programs are carried to examine the underlying characteristics suggested by field reconnaissance and office research so as to modify, deny or confirm the assumed properties and conditions below the ground surface. Soil investigation and exploration program present a reasonable idea about the underlying soil condition and characteristics. The main aim of soil investigation and subsurface exploration is to determine the geomorphic and geological structures of the site’s subsurface (Ameratunga, Sivakugan & Das, 2016). There are two major methods of soil investigation employed across the UAE.
The ...

Introduction

Field density testing is significant for assessing the soil properties of a site identified for a project. The assessment of soil property done through field density testing is aimed a verifying that the soil contained the required properties for the type of project to be constructed at the identified site (Thiers and Donovan 45). This lab uses the Sand Cone Method to verify the compaction of fill material and determine if the soil meet the required compaction with a design unit weight of 2,000 kg/m3. The aim of the experiment was to determine the dry unit weight, to ...

Abstract

Concrete acts as one of the most essential and cost-effective construction material made from a mixture of sand, cement, aggregates, and water. Cement acts as a binder for holding all the components together. Engineers working in the construction site must understand the purpose of the construction because different structures require different concrete strengths. The strength of cement paste used controls the overall strength of concrete that depends on the water-cement ratio. The following experiment was conducted to investigate different mechanical and physical properties of concrete.

Objective: To determine mechanical properties of concrete.

Materials used: Aggregate (coarse and fine), sand, cement, water, compressive machine, cylindrical and rectangular molds, timer, ...

Introduction:

Scientists believe that the gymnosperms developed from an extinct phylum whose members reproduced through spores (E. Taylor, T. Taylor, & Krings, 2009). The first true gymnosperms, however, produced seeds instead of spores. As a result, the evolution of the seeds became a fundamental adaptation of the gymnosperms to the dry conditions on land. The second factor that made the group successful on land was the development of pollen grains, which transported and protected the male gametes. Hence, unlike the seedless vascular plants, the gymnosperms became less dependent on the aquatic conditions for the success of fertilization. Instead, they gained the ability to ...

Andy Goldsworthy commonly referred to as a performance artist who doesn’t require an audience is fascinated by nature and the various shapes it makes on mother earth. Andy’s work is explored in the film where the natural landscape and sea provides inspiration and captures a perfect image of his ephemeral art. The documentary is underpinned throughout by excellent but eerie apt musical score performed by Fred Frith. The director of the film Reidelsheimer encapsulates the artist Andy and the art perfectly that it deserved much recognition other than the ten year German film Award it got.
Goldsworthy begins ...

TECHNICAL REPORT 2

REVIEW OF FOUNDATION SYSTEM FOR A BUILDING
For:
Introduction
This report outlines different types of foundations and their suitable application areas in construction. In addition, it presents the plan view, design considerations, the elevation and the significant information that are needed from soil investigations and geotechnical design. Soil investigation report outlines the outcome of the geotechnical examination report for the proposed building and complex in Dubai UAE (Peck, Hanson & Thornburn, 1974). The investigations were conducted in accordance with the conformation which is dated 8th April 2016. The aim of the investigation is to determine the conditions of both surface ...

Introduction

Miscues analysis concerns itself more with the kinds or level of miscues committed rather than the real quantity of miscues. Once the reading session is completed and the student has finished the story retelling, the miscues which have been recorded at the transcript require be classifying or analyzing.

The Mobile Phone: Parts and Choice of Materials

The mobile phone is one of the greatest inventions of all time (Guthrie, 2008). It has revolutionized the way people communicate and perform their day to day activities. Cell phones allow remote communication with people in far-away places, including those in other continents. Initially, cell phones were only meant to people to call and send short messages in the form of SMSs. However, cell phones have now advanced and are being used for a wide variety of purposes including taking pictures and videos, listening to music, browsing the internet, playing games, organizing events amongst other uses. The functionalities that a phone ...

A volcano is a crack or opening in the Earth’s crust, which erupts, magma, lava and many hot gases present the Earth internal structure. A volcano is actually formed when the magma erupts from the Earth, and it forms a mountain on its surface, which becomes the crevice through which lava erupts every time. The Earth’s crust is about a few hundred kilometers thick below the Earth’s surface. It is made up of tectonic plates that are found to float upon magma, which is liquefied, ...
