Assefa, Yohannes (2020-03-16)

Effect of Testing Treatments on Compaction and Strength (CBR) Characteristics of Tropical Soils of Northwestern Ethiopia for Highway Subgrade Material Requirements Properties of tropically weathered residual soils are ...
EXPERIMENTING ON SOME GEOTECHNICAL PROPERTIES OF BAHIR DAR BLACK COTTON SOIL STABILIZED WITH QUARRY DUST

Asmamaw, Amsalu (2020-03-17)

The main objective of this study is to test and analyze the effectiveness of Quarry Dust (QD) as a stabilizer on the Geotechnical Properties of Black Cotton Soils (BCS) in Bahirdar; due to the reason that Black Cotton Soils ...
Uni modal Particle size Distribution curve fitting model for coarse grained soils using mat lab software

Tsegaye, Fekadu (2020-03-17)
NUMERICAL STUDY ON INTERFERANCE OF TWO SQUARE FOOTINGS RESTING ON TYPICAL HOMOGENEOUS SAND

Kassahun, Eshetu (2020-03-17)

Square isolated footings are widely used in practice. They may exist in close proximity at different depth with each other, this time designer must be aware of their influence upon one another. This leads to the overlapping ...
DETAIL GEOTECHNICAL AND STABILITY CONSIDERATIONS OF DEBRE MARKOS-MERAWI ASPHALT ROAD PROJECT, CASE IN FAILED SECTIONS OF AMANUEL-BURE ROAD

Simachew, Zewdu (2020-03-17)

Debre Markose-Merawi Asphalt Road (220km) found in northwestern part of Ethiopia. Being a trunk road, part of the road connecting Addis Ababa to Khartoum, it was designed in 1998 for the expected cumulative traffic of ...
INVESTIGATION IN TO SOME OF THE ENGINEERING PROPERTIES OF SOIL FOUND IN DEBRE TABOR

Abeje, Hailu (2020-03-19)

A large portion of the earth’s surface is covered by soils and they are widely used as construction and foundation materials. Specially soil mechanics is the branch of Engineering that deals with two main objectives ...
