Download or read book Soil Testing Soil Stability and Ground Improvement written by Wissem Frikha and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-11 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earthwork projects are critical components in civil construction and often require detailed management techniques and unique solution methods to address failures. Being earth bound, earthwork is influenced by geomaterial properties at the onset of a project. Hence, an understanding of the in-situ soil properties is essential. Slope stability is a common problem facing earthwork construction, such as excavations and shored structures. Analytical methods for slope stability remain critical for researchers due to the mechanical complexity of the system. Striving for better earthwork project managements, the geotechnical engineering community continues to find improved testing techniques for determining sensitive properties of soil and rock, including stress-wave based, non-destructive testing methods. To minimize failure during earthwork construction, past case studies and data may reveal useful lessons and information to improve project management and minimize economic losses. This volume is part of the proceedings of the 1st GeoMEast International Congress and Exhibition on Sustainable Civil Infrastructures, Egypt 2017.

Download or read book Sustainability Issues in Civil Engineering written by G.L. Sivakumar Babu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-23 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compilation on sustainability issues in civil engineering comprises contributions from international experts who have been working in the area of sustainability in civil engineering. Many of the contributions have been presented as keynote lectures at the International Conference on Sustainable Civil Infrastructure (ICSCI) held in Hyderabad, India. The book has been divided into core themes of Sustainable Transportation Systems, Sustainable Geosystems, Sustainable Environmental and Water Resources and Sustainable Structural Systems. Use of sustainability principles in engineering has become an important component of the process of design and in this context, design and analysis approaches in civil engineering are being reexamined to incorporate the principles of sustainable designs and construction in practice. Developing economies are on the threshold of rapid infrastructure growth and there is a need to compile the developments in various branches of civil engineering and highlight the issues. It is this need that prompted the composition of this book. The contents of this book will be useful to students, professionals, and researchers working on sustainability related problems in civil engineering. The book also provides a perspective on sustainability for practicing civil engineers who are not directly researching the problems but are affected by the concerns in the course of their profession. The book can also serve to highlight to policy makers and governing bodies the need to have a mandate for sustainable infrastructural development.

Download or read book Rock Springs written by Richard Ford and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2012-06-04 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these ten stories, Ford mines literary gold from the wind-scrubbed landscape of the American West - and from the guarded hopes and gnawing loneliness of the people who live there. A refugee from justice driving across Wyoming with his daughter; an unhappy girlfriend and a stolen Mercedes; a boy watching his family dissolve in a night of tragicomic violence; two men and a woman swapping hard-luck stories in a frontier bar as they try to sweeten their luck. Rock Springs is a masterpiece of taut narration, cleanly chiselled prose, and empathy so generous that it feels like a kind of grace.

Download or read book Test Method Evaluation and Model Development for Erodibility Properties of Cementitiously Stabilized Layers written by Jingan Wang and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cementitiously stabilized layers (CSL) have been used extensively by highway agencies over the years. The erosion of CSL can cause several distresses in flexible and rigid pavements. The three necessary conditions for the occurrence of erosion are heavy loads, sufficient moisture, and the presence of erodible materials. The Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) provides a methodology for the analysis and performance prediction of pavements that incorporate CSL. However, test methods and models that specifically address the erosion of CSL have not yet been incorporated into the MEPDG. This study evaluates the existing test methods for erosion, including wheel tracking, manual wet-dry brushing, rotational shear device (RSD), jetting, a vibration table, or cyclic impact erosion (CIE), or combinations thereof. It is found that a CIE test is a robust test procedure that is used to quantify the erodibility of CSL. Based on the laboratory results from a CIE test, an empirical model that combines top-down compressive fatigue and erosion is developed to predict the erodibility of CSL. It is found that the developed model is effective in predicting both the top-down compressive fatigue and erosion of CSL. This test method and prediction model are recommended for incorporation into the MEPDG.
