Soil erosion reduces not only soil productivity of the area but also reservoir capacity. Therninformation on sources of sediment yield within a catchment can be used as a perspective on thernrate of soil erosion occurring within that catchment. The objective of this study was to model andrnanalyze...
The bearing capacity of the foundation is a primary concern in the field of foundation engineering. Predicting ultimate bearing capacity of a footing on layered soil is very important as it is a requirement for any design. The failure mechanism of a soil under footing and the bearing capacity value...
Piled raft foundation is a geotechnical composite construction consisting of three elements: piles, raft and soil. In piled raft foundation, the superstructure load is shared between the piles and the raft. Therefore, the piled raft foundation allows an increase in the load capacity and reduction...
In high way formation the sub grade layer, where acts as a pavement foundation should be well designed. In order to provide a suitable design input for identifying the bearing capacity and stiffness/strength of sub grade materials, it is very important to conduct laboratory and field tests like...

Addresses are the essential means by which people tried to conceptualize geographical position features using streets and accessibility is the ultimate goal of street address. Poor street address results in a serious challenge in terms of substantial loss of accessibility, less aware for usage, and...
This research was conducted to analyze the land use land cover changes (LULC) for thernHosaena town. For any LULC change analysis acquisition of multi temporal data is vital inrnorder to detect the changes over the time. For this purpose satellite images (Landsat 2000,rn2010 and 2018) have been...
Malaria is one of the world’s serious and complex public health problems and it remains one of the greatest killers of human beings in developing countries. Due to its tropical location and other environmental factors, part of Ethiopia is favorable for mosquito breeding and malaria...
Rapid urbanization is a trend seen across the developing world, with the fastest rates of growth seen in Sub-Saharan Africa. Currently, Ethiopia like other African countries has experienced rapid expansion of urbanization due to economic development, industrialization, massive migrations as well as...
