Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive topical overview on soil dynamics and foundation modeling in offshore and earthquake engineering. The spectrum of topics include, but is not limited to, soil behavior, soil dynamics, earthquake site response analysis, soil liquefactions, as well as the modeling and assessment of shallow and deep foundations. The author provides the reader with both theory and practical applications, and thoroughly links the methodological approaches with engineering applications. The book also contains cutting-edge developments in offshore foundation engineering such as anchor piles, suction piles, pile torsion modeling, soil ageing effects and scour estimation. The target audience primarily comprises research experts and practitioners in the field of offshore engineering, but the book may also be beneficial for graduate students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The results of 36 cyclic strain-controlled direct simple shear tests on a low-plasticity compacted clay are presented and analyzed. The tests were conducted in a Marshall Silver-type device, which utilizes the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI) type of short cylinder specimen confined in a wire-reinforced rubber membrane. Three degrees of compaction achieved by the modified compaction test are encompassed: (1) below the optimum moisture content, (2) at the optimum, and (3) above the optimum. All specimens were sheared under the same vertical consolidation stress. In each test the cyclic shear strain amplitude, ?c, was controlled, i.e., the cyclic tests were strain controlled. The range of ?c was between 0.008 and 4.6%. The test results show a very consistent behavior of the clay at all three moisture contents. At small cyclic shear strains below ?c ? 0.1%, the stress-strain behavior is slightly nonlinear, i.e., close to linearly elastic, and the vertical settlement is negligible. In some tests such nondestructive behavior was recorded up to ?c ? 0.2%, showing that for the clay tested, the volumetric threshold shear strain, ?tv, ranges between 0.1 and 0.2%. At ?c larger than ?tv the cyclic stress-strain behavior becomes nonlinear and a continuous settlement with the number of cycles, N, occurs. The results do not show a clear relation between the rate of settlement with N and the degree of the compaction and moisture content. For different moisture contents, similar settlements were obtained for given ?c and N. The study also shows how to arrange the specimen setup and measuring system to eliminate the effect of the simple shear apparatus compliance. In such an arrangement very small shear strains can be applied and successfully measured.

This book was released on 2005-09-12 with total page 3742 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 16th ICSMGE responds to the needs of the engineering and construction community, promoting dialog and exchange between academia and practice in various aspects of soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. This is reflected in the central theme of the conference 'Geotechnology in Harmony with the Global Environment'. The proceedings of the conference are of great interest for geo-engineers and researchers in soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. Volume 1 contains 5 plenary session lectures, the Terzaghi Oration, Heritage Lecture, and 3 papers presented in the major project session. Volumes 2, 3, and 4 contain papers with the following topics: Soil mechanics in general; Infrastructure and mobility; Environmental issues of geotechnical engineering; Enhancing natural disaster reduction systems; Professional practice and education. Volume 5 contains the report of practitioner/academic forum, 20 general reports, a summary of the sessions and workshops held during the conference.

Book excerpt: "For planning of structures in the Gulf of Alaska, Shell Development Company, as representative of the participants of the Response Studies Group, desired to evaluate the possible effect of dynamic loading on structures due to earthquakes in the Gulf. Ground response studies were made ... to obtain information for preliminary seismic design evaluations, and to study the potential for cumulative strains and displacements at the site during earthquake loading."--Leaf [1].

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation describes the development of a new multi-directional direct simple shear testing device, the Texas A & M Multi-directional Direct Simple Shear (TAMU-MDSS), for testing marine soil samples under conditions, which simulate, at the element level, the state of stress acting within a submarine slope under dynamic loading. Prototype testing and an experimental program to characterize the response of marine clays to complex loading conditions are presented. The work is divided into four major components: 1) Equipment Development: Design and construction of a prototype multi-directional direct simple shear testing device (TAMU-MDSS) that addresses the limitations of previous devices. 2) Support systems: selection of control software, development of data acquisition system and design of back pressure systems for direct pore pressure measurements. 3) Prototype Testing: performance of the TAMU MDSS system and testing of strain-control and stress-control capabilities. 4) Experimental Testing: characterize the response of marine clays to monotonic, dynamic and random loads. The two-directional monotonic, cyclic, circular and figure-8 tests demonstrated the undrained shear strength increases with increasing initial shear stress, (i.e, slope), for shearing in the same direction (equivalent to downhill). The strength decreases for shearing in the direction opposite to the initial stress (shearing uphill). The response is as brittle for shearing in the same direction as the shear stress applied during consolidation initial shear stress and ductile for shearing opposite to initial shear stress. These findings have important implications for the stability of the slope, predicting that forces acting downward in the slope direction will need to mobilize less strain to reach peak strength and initiate failure. This information provides insight into the behavior of marine soils under complex loading conditions, and provides high quality laboratory data for use in constitutive and finite element model development for analysis of submarine slopes.
