Research Experience:
Doctoral Research Study Oct
2005 - Sep 2008
Dissertation title: "Triaxial Tests on Densification of Sand by Static
Lateral Compression"
. This study was related to fly ash grouted pile, a new ground
improvement technique with little or no surrounding vibration, and
consideration for the recycling of thermal power plant waste
materials.
. A series of triaxial tests on Toyoura sand together with other sand
and fly ash was performed by two triaxial cells, which were
designated for low and high cell pressure.
. Two Major objectives were:
> To study the densification behavior of loose sands by means of
the laboratory triaxial tests in order to find efficient ways of
grouting in practical uses.
> To investigate the effect of stress relaxation on long-term skin
friction of grouted pile.
Master's Research Study Apr
2002 - Mar 2004
Thesis title: "Experimental Study on Water Retention in Water Repellent
Volcanic Ash Soil"
. This study gave an account for various soil water repellency (SWR)
classes of volcanic ash aggregated soils and describes its
influences over soil physical properties, such as soil water
characteristic curves and unsaturated hydraulic conductivities.
. The degree of water repellency classes with different laboratory
experiments of Water Drop Penetration Time (WDPT) test, Ninety-
Degree Surface Tension (NDST) test, and contact angle measurement
test were determined.
. Two Major objectives were
> To examine, quantitatively, soil water repellency of organic-
rich aggregated volcanic ash soil based on different tests.
> To determine how soil water repellency influences soil physical
properties, such as soil water characteristic curve and
unsaturated hydraulic conductivity.
