Seeking the code of the ground
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2016-06)
This paper explores three topics that constantly challenge geotechnical engineers: deformation, water and safety. More specifically, these topics involve understanding and predicting deformation, designing safely when water ...
Removal of E.Coli and turbidity using riverbank filtration technique -RBF- for riverside alluvial soil in Malaysia
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2016-06)
Riverbank filtration (RBF) is an efficient and low-cost natural alternative filtration technology for water supply application. In this method, the surface water contaminants are removed or degraded as the infiltrating ...
Estimating generalised flood sew ceofficients for penisular Malaysia
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2016-06)
Flood estimations based on fitting the frequency of occurrence of annual peak discharges using the Log-Pearson Type 3 distribution are commonly used but they are sensitive to the skew coefficients of the gauging stations. ...
Soil-root withholding strength for river bank stability
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2016-06)
The ability of vegetation to stabilise soils is frequently employed in slope stabilisation projects including riverbank restoration activity. Soil block samples permeated with roots of Bermuda Grass commonly used for ...
