ANALYSIS OF BEAMS AND STRIP PLATES ON IMPROVED CONTINUUM-BASED SUBGRADE MODELS, THE FINITE DIFFERENCE APPROACH

SILESHI, BETELHEM (2020)

Soils do not behave as elastic solids, but elasticity theory is widely used to compute stresses and displacements in soil profiles. Different subgrade models have been proposed by many researchers for problems of beams ...
Analysis of Piled Raft Foundation Subjected to Lateral and Vertical Loading using FLAC3D

Worku, Mulat (2020)

Due to the complex nature of the piled raft foundation, its realistic design relies on the more rigorous computer based methods using either finite element or finite difference based soft wares. This study develops a ...
Assessment of Causes of Road Pavement Failure along Checheho-Damot Road Segment

Abayneh, Ashebir Zeru (2020-08)

The construction industry in Ethiopia is the major sector where public and private stakeholders are investing a huge amount of fund and it has a fundamental role in the socio-economic development of the country. The Ethiopian ...
COMPACTION PROPERTIES FOR TROPICAL RESIDUAL SOILS TARGETING IMPROVEMENTS IN ERA HIGHWAY MATERIALS SPECIFICATIONS ALTERNATIVE, CASE IN BURE TOWN

Tesfaye, Mulugeta (2020-03-15)

When African modern construction system establish with the colonization by Europe, it starts with soil investigation trend of western sedimentary soil which is different from African tropical residual soils. Ethiopian ...
CORRELATION OF UNCONFINED COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH WITH INDEX PROPERTIES OF SOILS FOUND IN DIASPORA, BAHIRDAR

MESKEL, BIRHAN- (2020)

Correlations are important to estimate engineering properties of soils particularly for project where there is a financial limitation, lack of test equipment or limited time. Although correlations are commonly used in the ...
CROP WATER PRODUCTIVITY ANALYSIS USING FAO-BASED (WaPOR) DATABASE, THE CASE OF KOGA IRRIGATION SCHEME, ETHIOPIA

Abiyu, Gebeyehu Anteneh (2021-06)

Agriculture is the mainstay of the Ethiopian economy in terms of income, employment and generation of export revenue. The development of irrigation and agricultural water management holds significant potential to improve ...
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 ...
Dynamic Response of Laterally Loaded Single Pile in Liquefiable Soil: 3D Numerical Investigation

Dagnaw, Bezabih Wudu (2021-06)

The study of pile foundations in liquefiable soil subjected to dynamic loading is a very complex and coupled process. A finite-difference-based computer program FLAC3D is used to model the dynamic response single pile ...
EFFECT OF DRYING TEMPERATURE ON THE INVESTIGATION OF INDEX PROPERTIES OF RED CLAY SOIL: A CASE IN SIMADA CITY, ETHIOPIA

BIRHANU, KASSA (2022-02)

The knowledge of temperature effect on index properties and thus the understanding of its behavior is very essential for a complete understanding of the various cases of Geotechnical Engineering problems and for conducting ...
The Effect of Backfill and Embedment Depth on the Stability of Transmission Pole Built on Red Clay Soils Found in Bahir Dar City

Yoseph, Mekonen Getahun (2021-08)

Self-supported, directly-embedded wood and concrete poles are widely used by the Utility Service of Ethiopia to support low to high-voltage transmission lines. This study deals with examining the effect of backfill ...
EFFECT OF EXPANSIVE SOIL ON LIGHT WEIGHT STRUCTURES OF GONDAR TOWN FROM CONSTRUCTION, GEOTECHNICAL AND STRUCTURAL PERSPECTIVE

BIYADGLIGN, SERAWIT (2020)

The amount of damage caused by expansive soils is alarming. Damages sustained by structures include distortion and cracking of pavements and on-grade floor slabs; cracks in grade beams, walls, and drilled shafts; jammed ...
The Effect of Foundation Stiffness on Deformation of Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil-Integrated Bridge System (GRS-IBS)

Getachew, Worku Checkole (2021-10-05)

The (GRS-IBS) Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil Integrated Bridge System is a composite bridge structure built using closely spaced layer of geosynthetic reinforcement and compacted granular backfill of GRS abutment that ...
EFFECT OF TESTING TREATMENTS ON COMPACTION AND STRENGTH (CBR) CHARACTERISTICS OF TROPICAL SOILS OF NORTHWESTERN ETHIOPIA TARGETING HIGHWAY SUB GRADE MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS

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 ...
EFFECTS OF PARTICLE SHAPE ON DILATANCY CHARACTERSTICS OF GRANULAR GEOMATERIALS UNDER LOAD

AMELMAL, GELAYE BERIE (2021-10)

Particle shape plays an important role in the engineering behavior of the soil in terms of its permeability, packing density, dilatancy and shear strength. Dilatancy is the ability of granular soil to change in volume ...
Eucalyptus Wood Ash As Stabilizer for Black Cotton Soil

SHITAYE, HAYLEMARIAM (2020)

This research is aimed at evaluation the suitability of wood ash for use in stabilization of expansive black cotton soil. Laboratory work was conducted to determine various geotechnical properties of soil sample and the ...
