I have always enjoyed research and development, and as can be observed through my work I always strive to better myself and whatever I choose to accomplish.

Adaptability is a strength I admire and pride myself in the ability to adapt my knowledge base and myself to the task or as needed adapt the task to fit my vision of excellence.

Specialties: Geotechnical Engineering, subsurface investigations, ground improvement techniques, shallow and deep foundations, retaining structures, design, risk management, construction, Planning, Geotechnical Reporting, Project Management, Site supervising, Research and development, FEM, etc.

Estimation of SWCC for Unsaturated Soils and Its Application to Design of Shallow Foundations

World Congress on Civil, Structural, and Environmental Engineering, 2018

Soil suction, especially matric suction, is controlling the unsaturated soil behavior. However, measurements and determination of the soil suction is still a concern for geotechnical engineers and researchers regarding its accuracy, practicality, cost, and reliability. In this study, the filter paper method (FPM) has been adopted as a secondary indirect measurement of the suction. Both total and matric suction were measured for three different mixtures of coarse soil (sand) and fine soil (industrial Bentonite/Montmorillonite) at two different saturation levels for each mixture. An extensive characterization has been conducted for the soil samples and, thereafter, samples were prepared at 95% of the maximum dry density (MDD) on wet and dry sides of optimum for suction measurements. The soil-water-characteristic/retention curve (SWCC/SWRC) was then completed for each sample using an estimation method reported in the literature. A new prediction model has been developed, in this study to determine a fitting parameter for estimating SWCC. Also, a review on the application of SWCC to design of shallow foundations has been presented in a simplified manner. Finally, recommendations for future work and conclusions were reported.

Characterisation and Index Properties Correlations for Marlstone and Marly Limestone of Saudi Arabia

Proceedings of the 2nd World Congress on Civil, Structural, and Environmental Engineering, 2017

Therefore, the use of equations which are especially developed for certain rock type at a specific location is recommended. This paper suggests 3 equations to predict UCS from BTS, bulk density () and for marlstone of the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. 35 core samples are collected and tested in the laboratory for UCS, BTS and. Statistical analysis is performed on the experimental results, and subsequently 3 statistical models that relate BTS, , and rock bulk density to UCS are developed. Corrected correlation coefficients of the three models are found to be 0.575, 0.663, and 0.641, respectively. Additional reliable equation that relate the bulk density to is produced with a corrected correlation coefficient of 0.95.
