Download or read book Settlement and Volume Expansion in Soils written by J. Guyer and published by . This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication concerns (a) immediate settlements, (b) long-term settlements, (c) rate of settlement, (d) criteria for tolerable settlement, (e) methods of reducing or accelerating settlements for saturated fine-grained soils and (f) methods for controlling and/or estimating heave in swelling soils. Procedures given are for fine-grained compressible soils as well as for coarse-grained soils. The settlement of saturated cohesive soil consists of the sum of three components; (1) immediate settlement occurring as the load is applied, (2) consolidation settlement occurring gradually as excess pore pressures generated by loads are dissipated, and (3) secondary compression essentially controlled by the composition and structure of the soil skeleton. The settlement of coarse-grained granular soils subjected to foundation loads occurs primarily from the compression of the soil skeleton due to rearrangement of particles. The permeability of coarse-grained soil is large enough to justify the assumption of immediate excess pore pressure dissipation upon application of load. Settlement of coarse-grained soil can also be induced by vibratory ground motion due to earthquakes, blasting or machinery, or by soaking and submergence.

Download or read book Soil Settlement Effects on Buildings written by Endre Dulácska and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1992 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The static behaviour of buildings is considerably influenced by the interaction between soil, foundation and construction. This book provides assistance in determining the deformations caused by the building and by other imposed loads. Approximate methods for hand calculation as well as more exact mathematical methods for computation are presented. Three PC programmes are also shown. In Section 1 the importance of interaction between subsoil and construction, together with relevant theories, is reviewed, accompanied with a long list of pertinent literature. Section 2 reminds the reader about soil mechanics and introduces information about the determination of ground surface movements occurring in nature without the effect of a superimposed structure. Section 3 deals with the rigidity of buildings, their adaptive capacity to deformations, and peruses questions about safety of buildings. In Section 4 computerized calculation methods are presented. In Section 5 approximative calculation methods are recommended for practice. Case histories are described in Section 6. Various guiding tables and three computer programs are presented in Section 7.Each section is designed so as to be capable of use independently. The book is intended for structural engineers.
