The study was carried out to find out a suitable numerical procedure for establishing a graphical presentation of the soil profile of a site using SPT values and grain size analysis data. MATLAB numerical tool was used for this purpose and the soil properties was estimated using established empirical correlations. A computer Software was developed where SPT values at borehole locations, percent of grain sizes, water table and GPS coordinates of the site were used as inputs, Rectangular grids in 2-D or 3-D space were created for interpolation or extrapolation of the gridded data in ‘meshgrid’ format. The output yielded intermittent SPT profile and the contour plot matrix for subsoil soil condition of a site. The output soil-profile is presented by a 3-D shaded surface plot that would be useful for preliminary selection of a project site, land use planning, zoning ordinances, pre-disaster planning, capital investment planning,
Fifteen borehole data of SPT values and grain sizes along a 20 km stretch of ongoing Janjira approach road project of Padma multipurpose bridge in Madaripur district were used to verify the usability of the developed Software. Disturbed soil sample were collected up to depths of 19.5m depth in every 1.5m interval to perform grain size analysis test. Excel spreadsheet was used where more than 500 data including SPT-N values, percent sand and fines at depths, GPS coordinated, reduce level and ground water table. The soils at the site were predominantly alluvial deposits. All these data were used in MATLAB interactive environment for numerical computation, visualization, and programming. The purposes of the study were to find SPT contour profile and soil-profile of a particular alignment of the site and to extract borehole Log form SPT profile and soil-profile of a specific location of the alignment.
Outcome of this study can be used in microzonation studies, site response analysis, calculation of bearing capacity of subsoils in the region and producing a number of parameters which are empirically related to SPT values.
Modeling a Magnetic Stirrer Coupling for the Dispersion of Particulate MaterialsAnsys
Particles must be well-dispersed in a fluid medium before particle size measurements can be done. Engineers at Malvern Instruments Ltd. used ANSYS Maxwell to take a new magnetic drive design, optimize it and produce a solution that comfortably drives any magnetic stirrer bead over the required range of stir speeds and dispersant viscosities to achieve sufficient particle dispersion.

Determination of strength and stress-strain relationships of a cylindrical specimen of reconstituted specimen using Consolidated Drained (CD) Triaxial Test.
1. A series of drained triaxial tests under four different initial states were conducted on Yamuna River sand. The results consist of simple stress-strain relation, change in volume behaviour were plotted.
2. Basic stress-strain relation with volume behaviour was presented in plot. The results for densely prepared sand samples show an expected behaviour. There is a significant difference in peak and residual deviatoric stress (q) as can be depicted form the plot.
3. With increase in confining stress, load carrying capacity of specimen increases.
4. Saturation value ‘B’ must be acquired to be more than 0.95 before starting the isotropic consolidation phase in CD test.
5. CD tests are performed at much slower strain rate as compared to CU tests for the same soil. The strain rate for CD test can be chosen approx. 8-10 times lower than the CU test.
6. It is important to have no pore water pressure generation throughout the shearing phase of CD test or in other words strain rate must be so small that pore water pressure must get dissipated quickly when specimen is subjected to compression loading in CD test.
7. In CD test, volumetric strain versus axial strain relationship shows contractive response for NC soils and dilative response for OC soils. (NC = Normally consolidated, OC = Over consolidated)

4. Subsurface Investigation:
• Determining the nature of soil at the site and its stratification.
• Obtaining disturbed and undisturbed soil samples for visual identification and
appropriate laboratory tests.
• Determining the depth and nature of bedrock, if and when encountered.
• Performing some in situ field tests, such as Standard Penetration Test (SPT)
• Assessing any special construction problems with respect to the existing
structure(s) nearby
• Determining the position of the R.L. & water table.

Bangladesh Geological Survey indicates that the project site Jajira of Madaripur district, in general, is
underlain by recent alluvium. The Padma superficial alluvial river deposits typically comprise normally-
consolidated, low strength compressible clays, or silts and fine sands of low density.
8. Standard Penetration Test
The test consists of the following:
Driving the standard split-barrel sampler of dimensions a
distance of 460 mm into the soil at the bottom of the boring.
Counting the number of blows to drive the sampler the
last two 150 mm distances ( total = 300 mm) to obtain the N
number.
Using a 63.5-kg driving mass (or hammer) falling “free”
from a height of 760 mm. several hammer configurations
are available.

22. The ultimate load-carrying
capacity Qu of a pile is given
by the equation :
Qu = Qp +Qs
Where ,
Qp = Load carrying capacity
of the pile point
Qs = Frictional resistance
(skin friction) derived from
the soil-pile interface.
Allowable pile capacity,
Qa = Qu/ F.S.
Estimating pile capacity (at chainage 21100)
24. Summary
The developed MATLAB model can predict an intermittent borehole log with reasonable
accuracy.
The developed model gives SPT contours that may be used to identify the soil spatial
stiffness.
The program yields grain size surface plots that may be used to identify the soil profile.
The estimation of pile capacity suggests that the predicted borehole estimates the SPT
values well.
The variation in liquefaction potential suggests that the model be refined for grain size
estimation.
