    Expansive soils are problematic soils and are not suitable for infrastructure construction due to their downgraded properties like low shear strength, low bearing capacity and high shrink and swell potential. Soil stabilization is an effective and useful technique used to enable expansive soils for the construction purpose. Microbial geo-technology deals with the application of biological...

    Wheat is an important cereal crop of Pakistan. However, its production is less by limited farm resources, unavailability of fertilizers at proper time, costly inputs, waterlogging, salinity, the shortage of irrigation water and its inefficiently usage. Mismanagement of irrigation water through traditional irrigation method has further constrained the cropping intensities and crop yields. Thus,...

    1.OBJECTIVE/SCOPE:
    Brittleness and ductility play very important role in the stimulation design of unconventional reservoirs as it controls the fracture length and shape of hydraulic fractures. The estimation of mechanical properties of the reservoir rock is very important for the successful execution of reservoir drilling, production, and development operations; selection of bit according to...

    Strategies to Manage Aquifer Recharge in Balochistan, Pakistan: An Overview

    Abstract

    Balochistan plateau dominated by the drainage system of eighteen river basins, where precipitation recharge consolidated and unconsolidated aquifers. In eleven river basins the groundwater levels are steadily decreasing for the last three decades due to unsustainable long-term groundwater extraction....

    FUTURE CLIMATOLOGICAL DROUGHT PROJECTIONS OVER QUETTA VALLEY, BALOCHISTAN, PAKISTA

    The historical climatological records provide eminent evidence that drought is a permanent disastrous natural phenomenon of Balochistan. The precipitation data from 1872 to 1960 characterized that 25 drought events flashed with an interval of 7 to 14 years when average precipitation deficiency ranges from 20 to...

    Human machine interface technology is focused upon new ways of interaction between human beings and machines. Gesture recognition gloves are getting increasingly popular as human-machine interface devices. Conventionally, these gloves use electronic sensors to sense different hand gestures. As electronic sensors are bulky and uncomfortable, we propose a glove with textile-based piezoresistive...

    Abstract: Civil engineering structures need adequate foundation to carry the imposed loads safely, but natural soils of good performance do not exist on each site. Alternatively soil improvement / modification are needed to improve the soil in hand. In this study an attempt is made to evaluate the bearing capacity of soft clayey soil...

    Abstract: The engineering properties of soils are highly variable which makes this material complex. In addition, some of the properties like shear strength, settlement, California bearing ratio (CBR) and permeability are difficult and time consuming to determine. Further, the soil is a porous, un-cemented and un-aggregated material having significantly low stability as compare to weak...

    The Kohat-Potwar Sub-Basins, located on the northwestern margin of the Indian Plate, are structurally defined petroliferous regions. Sedimentation on the passive margin of the Eastern Tethys was taken up in Paleocene after the break with the deposition of the clastics which end up enduringly with the shallow marine/lagoonal deposition of the Lower to Middle Eocene, which provided an excellent...

    The Maastrichtian rocks of Lower Indus Basin (Mughal Kot Formation) have been investigated in detail to establish planktonic foraminiferal biostratigraphy and assign age to the strata. Due to influence of local tectonics that forces the rate of Cretaceous sedimentation to be very high in the Eastern part of Tethys, very less number of taxa in these thick hemi-pelagic sediments has been...
