Comparative Subsurface Characterization Of The Quaternary And Residual Sites In Northern Peninsular Malaysia By Cumulative SPT(N) For Assesing Concrete Pile Foundat
The Northern Peninsular Malaysia area mostly consists of soft marine clays for coastal area. This marine clays are makes it challenging to construction activities. Meanwhile, northern area also consists of laterites soil but less develop compared to coastal sites. In this research, a new method of e...
