Computer-Aided Design for Estimating Foundation Uplift on Expansion Soils

Adnan A. Basma, Amer Ali Al-Rawas · Sultan Qaboos University Journal for Science · 1999 · 10.24200/squjs.vol4iss0pp23-34

This work presents a methodology to determine in-situ heave of foundations due to soil expansion. A total of 206 soil specimens from a semi-arid region (lrbid city in northern Jordan) were tested in the laboratory to produce a model for predicting the swell percent, SP. The results indicate that SP is strongly dependen …

Quantitative Analysis of Clay Minerals Using X-Ray Diffraction Technique. Part 1

Amer Ali Al-Rawas, Hector H. Sutherland, Abdel Wahid Hago et al. · Sultan Qaboos University Journal for Science · 1998 · 10.24200/squjs.vol3iss0pp31-39

Qualitative and quantitative analysis of clay minerals are important in the evaluation of the swelling potential of expansive soils A relatively simple method for the quantification of clay minerals of Al-Khod (Northern Oman) using an X-ray diffraction method is described in detail in this paper. The method is based on …
