I needed fresh air and so I went for a ride in the neighbourhood of Bukit Katil. I enjoyed cycling along the roads that ran parallel with rows of tall trees. The atmosphere around me was refreshingly cool. In the midst of admiring view‚ I caught the sight of a house that was partly buried in the mud. I halted (stop)

modelling of both the vibro-replacement process and of in situ testing. Field measurements were made of the input motions created by the vibrator and the induced response of the ground. The measured vibrator motions were input to a numerical model of the soil mass and the results of the analysis were compared to the measured data. The results of seismic cone testing before and after treatment at 15 sites and existing chamber test data were analyzed and additional numerical modelling of seismic cone testing

The important thing is to utilize them for the welfare of the human beings and development of the country economically because the progress of a country totally depends upon the utilization of the available resources. The important natural resources are described as under: 1. Soil The Soil of Pakistan belongs to dry group having high calcium

embankment as a result of water moving through the soil structure. If the seepage forces are large enough‚ soil can be eroded from the embankment or foundation. Seepage can also develop behind or beneath concrete spillways or headwalls. The signs of this type of problem could be cracking or heaving. Freezing and thawing will amplify the affects of seepage on concrete structures. The rate at which water moves through the embankment depends on the type of soil in the embankment‚ how well it is compacted

communities cover approximately 9.4 per cent of the Earth’s surface (or 30 per cent of total land area) and function as habitats for organisms‚ hydrologic flow modulators‚ and soil conservers‚ constituting one of the most important aspects of the Earth’s biosphere. The emerging trends of deforestation‚ desertification and soil erosion are closely linked with societal basic needs‚ economic and population growth and energy consumption-making the entire issue very complex.

Trees Clean the Soil The term phytoremediation is a fancy word for the absorption of dangerous chemicals and other pollutants that have entered the soil. Trees can either store harmful pollutants or actually change the pollutant into less harmful forms. Trees filter sewage and farm chemicals‚ reduce the effects of animal wastes‚ clean

Environmental Sustainability Paper GLG/101 Danita LaSage Rachelle Ann Franko September 10‚ 2011 In today’s world it’s our responsibility as the population to create Sustainability with the earth’s resources. There are only so many resources on earth like timber‚ food‚ petroleum etc. to go around. The more that we use and take in the less it becomes available for us to consume. The world’s budget cannot indeterminately increase on a limited world. As a result the economy develops and the population

An interesting fact about the Savanna biome is that its soil is very diverse every type of soil used for agriculture has been found there. Due to the prolonged dry and wet climate the availability of food
