Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than ten years have passed since the first edition was published. During that period there have been a substantial number of changes in geotechnical engineering, especially in the applications of foundation engineering. As the world population increases, more land is needed and many soil deposits previously deemed unsuitable for residential housing or other construction projects are now being used. Such areas include problematic soil regions, mining subsidence areas, and sanitary landfills. To overcome the problems associated with these natural or man-made soil deposits, new and improved methods of analysis, design, and implementation are needed in foundation construction. As society develops and living standards rise, tall buildings, transportation facilities, and industrial complexes are increasingly being built. Because of the heavy design loads and the complicated environments, the traditional design concepts, construction materials, methods, and equipment also need improvement. Further, recent energy and material shortages have caused additional burdens on the engineering profession and brought about the need to seek alternative or cost-saving methods for foundation design and construction.
Download or read book Engineering Aspects of Soil Erosion Dispersive Clays and Loess written by Charles William Lovell and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offers a collection of papers, dealing with selected engineering aspects of soil erosion, dispersive clays, and loess. Two papers deal with laboratory studies, while the remainder are case studies. Degrees of erosion are related to soil type, mineralogy, gradation and compacted condition.

Download or read book Laboratory Soils Testing written by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2007-12-28 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual presents recommended testing procedures for making determinations of the soil properties to be used in the design of civil works projects. It is not intended to be a text book on soils testing or to supplant the judgment of design engineers in specifying procedures to satisfy the requirements of a particular project, although it has been used in basic soil mechanics courses. Test procedures included are Water Content, Unit Weights, Void Ratio, Porosity and Degree Of Saturation, Liquid and Plastic Limits, Shrinkage Limit Test, Grain-size Analysis, Compaction Tests, Permeability Tests, Consolidation Test, Swell and Swell Pressure Tests. Drained Direct Shear Test, Triaxial Compression Tests, Determination of Critical Void Ratio, Unconfined Compression Test, Modified Providence Vibrated Density Test, and Pinhole Erosion Test for Identification of Dispersive Clays.

This book was released on 1988-04-30 with total page 868 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Field work, supplemented by laboratory studies, is a cornerstone for the geological sciences. This volume provides an introduction to general field work through selected topics that illustrate specific techniques and methodologies. One hundred and twenty-three main entries prepared by leading authorities from around the world deal with aspects of exploration surveys, geotechnical engineering, environmental management. field techniques, mapping, prospecting, and mining. Special efforts were made to include topics that consider aspects of environmental geology in particular those subjects that involve field inspections related to, for example, the placement of artificial fills, sediment control in canals and waterways, the geologic effects of cities, or the importance of expansive soils to environmental management and engineering. In addition, some widely ranging topics dealing with legal affairs, geological methodology, the scope and organization of geology, report writing, and other concepts, such as those related to plate tectonics and continental drift, provide a necessary perspective to the arena of field geology.

Download or read book Identification of Dispersive Clays in the Texas Gulf Coast Area written by AF. Marshall and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laboratory testing was done to determine the dispersive characteristics of typical clay soils from two sites near Houston, Texas. The tests included (a) the crumb test, (b) the Soil Conservation Service Laboratory Dispersion Test, (c) chemical analysis of pore water, and (d) the pinhole test. The soils tested consisted of inorganic clay of low to medium plasticity (CL) and inorganic clay of high plasticity (CH) with plastic limits varying from 12 to 32, liquid limits varying from 26 to 99, and activity ratios of 0.7 to 1.3. With a few exceptions, each of the four types of tests showed good reproducibility. The pinhole test results were not affected by variations in compaction moisture content, from three points dry to three points wet of the plastic limit. The four types of tests were found to be in excellent agreement for nondispersive clays. Of the tests judged as dispersive on the basis of sodium content or percent dispersion from the SCS test or both, surprisingly few were dispersive in the pinhole test.

Download or read book Some Engineering Problems with Dispersive Clays written by RS. Decker and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laboratory tests show that filters containing some fine sand sizes (such as ASTM Specification for Concrete Aggregates (C 33-74a) concrete sand) will generally control piping and seal leaks through dispersive clay. The authors believe that it is reasonable practice to build major embankment dams with cores of dispersive clay with appropriate design details. Existing dams of dispersive clay which have given no trouble are not usually considered unsatisfactory structures. Piping of dispersive clay in dam foundations is believed generally unlikely below the depth where the clay is continuously saturated in nature. Some observations are given on the geologic origin, surface topography, and appearance (color) of deposits of dispersive soil. Damage to canals is described.
