The present research involves the investigation of fine grained particle interactions under the influence of varied ionic concentration and pH effects (via Sedimentation Test, Liquid Limit, Viscosity, Shear Wave Velocity Measurement using the Oedomoter et cetera) and the applications of the results to fabric map formation, control and to the ever evolving engineering practice. Alongside each of the aforementioned experimental modules, the electrical behavior will also be studied in the same ionic concentration and pH space.

Finally, with the ensuing results analyzed, well-advised particle associations vis-à-vis dominant inter-particle forces under the influence of varied pH and ionic concentrations will be derived for the fine grained soil samples, which will aid the proper understanding of their electrical conductivities and the development of their fabric map, both in the ionic concentration-pH space.

The prediction of liquefaction potential is study area with diverse assessment methods. Probabilistic approach has an advantage because of its consideration for geotechnical uncertainties and spatial effects. The dynamic soil parameters of different soil layers are derived from field SPT N(60) data.

Different geostatistical models of liquefaction potential are simulated for the prospective site. The outcome of these investigations aids in the generation of a better seismic liquefaction potential and hazard map. 

The purpose of this research is to synthesize a polymerized soil composite from different mass ratio mixtures of polyurethane and silica. Bender element oedometer cell test was conducted on the composite and pure silica material for characterization. 

Comparison of the geotechnical properties (i.e.; Shear Modulus and Compression) of the new composite material will be used to predict the optimum synthesis procedure and the behavior of the best polyurethane and silica composite.
