Download or read book Engineering in Mercia Mudstone written by R. J. Chandler and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mercia Mudstone Group, part of the Triassic Series formerly known as the Keuper Marl, is a sequence dominated by mudstones that underlies much of central and southern England and parts of Northern Ireland, on which many urban areas and their attendant infrastructure are built. These strata affect the construction industry mainly in operations such as foundations, excavations and earthworks. When designing earthworks or structural foundations in, on or using Mercia mudstone, the designer needs to understand how the engineering properties are linked to the geological history.

Download or read book Engineering in Chalk written by J. A. Lord and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides guidance on engineering in chalk. It describes the chalk's geological setting, its origins, occurrence, its stratigraphy, weathering and geomorphological situations, the material and mechanical properties. The descriptions are supported by a comprehensive set of photographs. It explains recommended schemes for the engineering description and classification of chalk, building on the work presented in CIRIA PR11, 'Foundations in Chalk'. The publication looks at the mechanical and material properties of intact, in-situ and compacted chalk and considers their implications for the design and construction of earthworks, cuttings, retaining walls and anchorages. Major sections deal with the selection and design of shallow and piled foundations. Based on analysis of the results of pile testing, the book makes recommendations for the design and choice of bored, CFA, driven cast-in-place and pre-formed piles in chalk and for estimating shaft and base resistances. Contents:1 Introduction, 2 The engineering geology of chalk, 3 Description and classification of chalk, 4 Mechanical properties of the chalk, 5 Chalk in embankments and fills, 6 Cuttings, retaining structures and anchorages in chalk, 7 Shallow foundations, 8 Piled foundations, 9 Site investigations in chalk, 10 Concluding remarks, References.
