This article is a follow-up to the first in situ work that determined the soil lithology of Balterdi Village (Matam, Senegal). The second phase present of the study consists of a physical, mechanical and chemical characterisation of the same soil in the laboratory. The various samples taken from the core drilling operations were tested and analysed...

Backwater rise is a function of flow properties, fluid characteristics, and channel geometries. Flume experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of the permeable spur dike dimensions (blockage ratios of 45% to 77%) and diameters of mono-size glass beads (7.4 mm to 26.0 mm) on the backwater rise in open channel subcritical flow. Dimensiona...

The stability of a cavity underlying homogeneous clay in an unsupported greenfield condition is examined in this paper using the finite difference program, FLAC. Shear strength reduction method (SSRM) is utilised to study two- and three-dimensional failure mechanisms of a horizontal trapdoor. Stability results are presented in the forms of factors ...
