Abstract: As the world is hard pressed with the energy and fuel crises, compounded by pollution of all kinds, any technology that brings out the solution to this problem is considered as a bounty. In one of such new technologies, is the development of a new engine called as “Aero-Gasoline Engine”, which can use either of the fuel, air or Gasoline. This reduces consumption of fossil fuels which inturn solves the pollution problem.The cost of fuel is also drastically decreases as well the maintenance cost of the engine comes down.

Abstract: The physical properties of clay are of extreme importance in soil engineering and are largely controlled by reactions in which clay plays a leading part. Kaolin clay has been widely used both in fundamental studies of soil behavior and in physical model tests. In this paper, compression and shear behavior of reconstituted consolidated kaolin clay specimen reinforced with sand compaction pile (SCP) is examined by using consolidated undrained triaxial tests. The aim of this study is to study the behavior of soft cohesive soil reinforced with different diameter SCPs by observing the change in pore pressure during consolidation and undrained shear strength of the composite ground with/without smear. The experimental results show that the mechanical properties of soft kaolin clay can be tremendously improved with this ground improvement technique
