Vibro replacement stone columns are a ground improvement technique to improve the load bearing capacity and reduce the settlement of the soil. On many occasions, it is noted that the local soil is, by nature, unable to bear the proposed structure, so the use of ground improvement techniques may be necessary. Use of stone columns is one such technique. The stone column consists of crushed coarse aggregates of various sizes. The ratio in which the stones of different sizes will be mixed is decided by design criteria
Rapid urban and industrial growth demands more land for further development, to meet this demand land reclamation and utilization of unsuitable and environmentally affected lands have been taken up and converted to useful ones by adopting one or more Ground Improvement Techniques

A case study on soft soil improvement of hanoi haiphong expressway project in...HoangTienTrung1
A case of using Sand Compaction Pile method to improve the foundation soil for expressway in Vietnam is presented. The sand compaction pile (SCP) method, which forms a composite ground by driving the pile made of compacted sands into soft ground, is one of the commonly used soil improvement techniques in Viet Nam. The SCP method used to improve the ground through the increase of bearing capacity, which is achieved by improving loose sandy soils or accelerating the consolidation of soft clay soils. Within the country where the condition of sand purchase is abundant in Viet Nam, sand compaction pile were often used for soft ground improvement to replace the Load Relief Slab and Soil-Cement Column at Hanoi-Haiphong Expressway Project recently. The procedures used for soil improvement, the instrumentation and the field monitoring data are described. A few observational methods based on settlement records are available to predict future settlement and consolidation behavior, namely the hyperbolic (Tan 1971; Chin 1975) and Asaoka (Asaoka 1978) method. The field data were from the Thai Binh Bridge approached embankment construction at Hanoi-Haiphong Expressway Project.
Pervious concrete (also called porous concrete, permeable concrete, no fines concrete and porous pavement) is a special type of concrete with a high porosity used for concrete flatwork applications that allows water from precipitation and other sources to pass directly through, thereby reducing the runoff from a site and allowing groundwater recharge.
A pervious concrete street
Pervious concrete is made using large aggregates with little to no fine aggregates. The concrete paste then coats the aggregates and allows water to pass through the concrete slab. Pervious concrete is traditionally used in parking areas, areas with light traffic, residential streets, pedestrian walkways, and greenhouses.[1][2] It is an important application for sustainable construction and is one of many low impact development techniques used by builders to protect water quality.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.
8. Avoid the site by relocating the structure at a site with
better soil conditions
Adopt the foundation system suitable for the existing
soil condition, so that stresses and settlements are
within permissible limit e.g. raft foundation
Adopt a foundation system that by-passes the poor soil
and transfers the load to strong soil beneath e.g. pile
foundation
Improve or modify the properties of soil by excavating
and replacing with better soil
Improve or modify the properties of soil by insitu soil
treatment 8
9. Ground Improvement refers to the
improvement in or modifications to the
engineering properties of soil so as to
make it suitable for the construction of
structure on or within the soil or using the
soil.
9
10. • An increase in bearing capacity
• A reduction in the amount of
settlement
• Reduction in permeability in order to
reduce seepage
• An acceleration in the rate of
consolidation
• Elimination of possibility of liquefaction
• Increase in the stability of slope or
underground opening such as tunnel
10
11. 1. Replacing the soil with better soil
2. Reducing void spaces by making boreholes
and subjecting soil to lateral pressure
3. Reducing void spaces by impact, vibrations or
shock
4. Reducing saturated void space by rapid
drainage of water from it
5. Filling void spaces with grout
6. Removing existing soil by making bore holes
and replacing them with stronger material
12. 7. Deep mixing of cementitious material with soil
using special tools
8. Inserting reinforcing elements into the soil
9. Freezing the soil
Some of these are useful for Sandy soil deposits,
other for clayey soil deposits and some for all types of
soil deposits. Most methods involve treating the soil
along depth a t a particular location. Multiple locations
are therefore selected in a grid pattern and treatment is
carried out.
13. 1. Mechanical Modification:
(Mechanical Stabilisation)
Soil density is increased by the application of
mechanical force, including compaction of surface
layers by static vibratory such as compact roller
and plate vibrators.
14. 2. Hydraulic Modification:
Free pore water is forced out of soil via
drains or wells.
● Course grained soils; it is achieved by
lowering the ground water level through pumping
from boreholes, or trenches.
● In fine grained soils the long term
application of external loads (preloading)
(preconsolidation or Precompression)
or electrical forces (electrometric stabilization)
15. 3. Physical and chemical modification:
Stabilization by physical mixing adhesives with
surface layers or columns of soil.
Adhesive includes natural soils, industrial
byproducts or waste. Materials or cementitious or
other chemicals which react with each other
and/or the ground.
When adhesives are injected via boreholes under
pressure into voids within the ground or between it
and a structure the process is called grouting.
16. Soil stabilization by heating and by freezing
the ground is considered thermal methods of
modifications. (Thermal Stabilisation)
4. Modification by inclusions and confinement:
Reinforcement by fibers, strips bars meshes
and fabrics imparts tensile strength to a constructed
soil mass.(Reinforced Soil)
In-situ reinforcement is achieved by nails and
anchors. Stable earth retaining structure can also
be formed by confining soil with elements.
17. The choice of a method of ground
improvement for a particular object will depend on
the following factors.
● Type and degree of improvement required
● Type of soil , geological structure, seepage
conditions
● Cost
● Availability of equipment and materials and the
quality of work required
● Construction time available
18. ● Possible damage to adjacent structures or
pollution of ground water resources
● Durability of material involved ( as related to the
expected life of structure for a given
environmental and stress conditions)
● Toxicity or corrosivity of any chemical additives .
● Reliability of method of analysis and design.
● Feasibility of construction control and
performance measurements
20. Site investigation is conducted to determine
existing conditions and assess properties of
soil
The parameters or engineering properties
those have to be improved are identified and
its minimum acceptable value is stipulated
Alternative methods of improvement that are
applicable are identified and their feasibility
and relative costs are determined
20
21. For the most suitable method, preliminary
design is carried out and construction variables
are evaluated
Fields trials are undertaken by executing the
ground improvement on a small test patch and
then assessing the value of the parameter or
engineering property that had to be improved
On the basis of the results obtained from field
trials, necessary adjustments are made in the
construction variables. Full scale operations
are then undertaken
21
22. Site investigations at a site reveal that soil beneath the ground
surface comprises of loose' sand down to a depth of 3.5 m
followed by a dense stratum. For ground improvement, there are
two options under consideration:
(i) densification by impact compaction and
(ii) densification by excavation and relaying in layers using
vibratory rollers for compaction.
The cost of impact compaction is estimated at Rs. 350/- per
m2 of plan area of the site. For excavation, the prevalent unit rate
is Rs. 30/- per m3 and for relaying soil with compaction, the rate is
Rs. 45/- per m3.
(a)Which method will be· more economical?
(b) What other factors should be considered before selecting the
method to be used? 22
23. (a) (i)For one m2 of plan area, the amount of soil to be excavated
and relayed = 1.0 x 1.0 x 3.5 = 3.5 m3.
Cost of excavating and relaying 3.5 m3 of soil
= 3.5 (30 + 45) = Rs. 262.50
Hence cost of excavation and relaying = Rs. 262.50 per m2
(ii) Cost of impact compaction = 350 per m2 plan area.
Hence impact compaction is more costly.
(b) Other factors to be considered for selection of methods:
(i) Does the water table lie above or below 3.5 m depth?
(ii) Is sufficient space available around the site to make inclined
cuts (1.5 (hor.) 1.0 (ver)?
(iii) Are there any buildings close to the site, say within 50 m
distance?
23
24. If water table is high or sufficient space is not available for
making a cut along an inclined slope, then impact compaction
may be adopted.
If buildings are close to the site, impact compaction can
cause vibrations in the buildings and should be avoided.
When time available for completion of work is limited, faster
method may be chosen even if it is more expensive because early
commissioning of the project often offsets the extra cost incurred.
24
25. The density of a 10 m deep loose sand deposit is
to be increased by compaction piles. Estimate the
amount of extra material that will have to be added to
the soil per m2 of plan area if the dry density of the
soil is to be increased from 14 kN/m3 to 16 kN/m3. If the
material to be added costs Rs. 300/- per m3, and the
cost of constructing the compaction piles is 100% of the
cost of material, what is the cost of treatment per
m2 of plan area
25
26. Required increase in dry density = 16 - 14 = 2 kN/m3.
Extra material required per m2 of plan area for a depth of 10 m
= increase in density x volume of soil
= 2 x 10 x 1 x 1 = 20 kN
Volume of material required per m2 = 20/16 = 1.25 cu.m.
Cost of material required per m2 = 300 x 1.25 = Rs. 375/-
Cost of construction of pile = Rs. 375/-
Total cost of treatment per m2 of plan area
= 375 + 375 = Rs. 750/-
26
27. A very soft clay deposit, over which a road
embankment that is 20 m wide at ground level is to be
constructed, can be stabilized (i) by constructing
overlapping columns of clay with 5% cement
using deep mixing technique or (ii) by replacing 50% of
clay by gravel columns using stone column
technique. The clay deposit is 6 m deep. Compare the
cost of treatment if gravel is available at Rs. 1200 per
m3. and cement is available at Rs. 300 per 50 kg bag of
cement. The cost of constructing cement columns or
gravel columns is about the same and only the cost of
materials needs to be considered.
27
28. Quantity of soil to be treated per meter length of embankment
= 20 * 6 *1 = 120 m3
i) Adopting cement column method,
Quantity of cement required= 5 % of volume of soil
= 5/100 * 120 = 6 m3
weight of cement required = 6 x 3150 = 18900 kg
No. of bags required = 18900/50 = 378 bags
Cost of material required = 378 * 300 = 1,13,400 Rs 28

29. Quantity of soil to be treated per meter length of embankment
= 20 * 6 *1 = 120 m3
ii) Adopting gravel column method,
Quantity of gravel required= 50 % of volume of soil
= 50/100 * 120 = 60 m3
Cost of material required = 1200 * 60 = 72,000 Rs
Hence, gravel column method would be more economical. 29

30. A vertical cut-off wall (seepage barrier) is to be
constructed to a depth of 12 m below a barrage
where the subsoil is gravel down to 10 m depth
underlain by 2 m thick disintegrated rock and then
strong intact rock. The following alternatives are being
considered. (a) RCC diaphragm wall (b) grout
curtain of cement (c) grout curtain of cement + Bentonite
(1:1).
The diaphragm wall will be 250 mm thick. The
grout curtain will comprise of 3 rows of grout holes
spaced at a distance of 2.5 m from each other. Along
each row, the grout holes will be spaced 5 m.
apart. 30
31. The grout intake (dry cement or cement +
bentonite) is estimated as 2 kN/m length of each
hole (slurry water is extra). Determine the cost of each
alternative given that
a) cost of concrete per m3 is Rs. 2500/- (density 24
kN/m3),
b) cost of reinforcement is Rs. 3500/- per kN (0.6 kN
per m3 reinforcement in wall),
c) cost of cement is Rs. 300/- per kN
d) cost of Bentonite is Rs. 150/- per kN,
e) cost of construction of diaphragm wall and grouting
may be taken as similar. 31

Options
Considering 5 m length of Diaphragm wall
Concrete required for a depth of 12 m
= 12 x 5 x 0.25 = 15 cu.m
Weight of reinforcement = 0.6 * 15 = 9.0 kN
Cost of concrete = 15 x 2500 = Rs. 37,500/-
Cost of reinforcement = 9.0 * 3500 = 31,500/-
Total cost of treatment per 5.0 m length
= 37,500 + 31,500
= Rs. 69,000/-
35. Option 2:
Considering 5 m length of Cement grout curtain wall
No. of grout hole required = 3 no.
Total cement consumption = 12 x 3 x 2 = 72 kN
Cost of cement = 72* 300 = 21600
Rs.
Option 3:
Considering 5 m length of Cement grout curtain wall
No. of grout hole required = 3 no.
Total cement consumption = 0.5(12 x 3 x 2) = 36 kN
Total bentonite consumption = 0.5(12 x 3 x 2) = 36 kN
Cost of cement = 36* 300= 10,800 Rs.
Cost of bentonite = 36* 150= 5,400 Rs
Total Cost of cement & bentonite= 16,200 Rs
36. One of oldest and simplest methods is
simply to remove and replace the soil.
Soils that will have to be replaced include
contaminated soils or organic soils.
Method is usually practical only above the
groundwater table and shallow depth
(Maximum up to 3.0 m depth)
