Book Failure Conditions in Infinite Slopes and the Resulting Soil Pressures Classic Reprint

Download or read book Failure Conditions in Infinite Slopes and the Resulting Soil Pressures Classic Reprint written by William S. Hartsog and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Failure Conditions in Infinite Slopes and the Resulting Soil Pressures Beginning with Rankine more than a century ago, scientists and engineers alike have sought to improve techniques for calculating soil pressures beneath the earth's surface. This capability has been important not only for predicting soil pressures against structures such as retaining walls and foundations, but also for predicting the depths and pressures at which soil masses will fail when disturbed by either man or nature. This paper, based on Rankine's classic assumptions and the contributions of others, offers some additional refinements for calculating soil pressures. The equations have particular relevance to much of the steep, mountainous lands managed by the usda Forest Service, particularly the Idaho Batholith, where Intermountain Station engineers and scientists are studying slope stability and erosion problems.

Book Failure Surfaces in Infinite Slopes Classic Reprint

Download or read book Failure Surfaces in Infinite Slopes Classic Reprint written by Michael J. Gonsior and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Failure Surfaces in Infinite Slopes The infinite slope theory is based upon the assumption that a conjugate relation ship exists between the vertical pressures and the lateral pressures acting on vertical planes, and that the stress conditions at any two points of equal depth are identical.

Book Rock Slope Engineering

Download or read book Rock Slope Engineering written by Duncan C. Wyllie and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 803 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rock Slope Engineering covers the investigation, design, excavation and remediation of man-made rock cuts and natural slopes, primarily for civil engineering applications. It presents design information on structural geology, shear strength of rock and ground water, including weathered rock. Slope design methods are discussed for planar, wedge, circular and toppling failures, including seismic design and numerical analysis. Information is also provided on blasting, slope stabilization, movement monitoring and civil engineering applications. This fifth edition has been extensively up-dated, with new chapters on weathered rock, including shear strength in relation to weathering grades, and seismic design of rock slopes for pseudo-static stability and Newmark displacement. It now includes the use of remote sensing techniques such as LiDAR to monitor slope movement and collect structural geology data. The chapter on numerical analysis has been revised with emphasis on civil applications. The book is written for practitioners working in the fields of transportation, energy and industrial development, and undergraduate and graduate level courses in geological engineering.

Book Correlations of Soil and Rock Properties in Geotechnical Engineering

Download or read book Correlations of Soil and Rock Properties in Geotechnical Engineering written by Jay Ameratunga and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-11 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a one-stop reference to the empirical correlations used extensively in geotechnical engineering. Empirical correlations play a key role in geotechnical engineering designs and analysis. Laboratory and in situ testing of soils can add significant cost to a civil engineering project. By using appropriate empirical correlations, it is possible to derive many design parameters, thus limiting our reliance on these soil tests. The authors have decades of experience in geotechnical engineering, as professional engineers or researchers. The objective of this book is to present a critical evaluation of a wide range of empirical correlations reported in the literature, along with typical values of soil parameters, in the light of their experience and knowledge. This book will be a one-stop-shop for the practising professionals, geotechnical researchers and academics looking for specific correlations for estimating certain geotechnical parameters. The empirical correlations in the forms of equations and charts and typical values are collated from extensive literature review, and from the authors' database.

Book Geotechnical Slope Analysis

Download or read book Geotechnical Slope Analysis written by Robin Chowdhury and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2009-11-18 with total page 774 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freshly updated and extended version of Slope Analysis (Chowdhury, Elsevier, 1978). This reference book gives a complete overview of the developments in slope engineering in the last 30 years. Its multi-disciplinary, critical approach and the chapters devoted to seismic effects and probabilistic approaches and reliability analyses, reflect the distinctive style of the original. Subjects discussed are: the understanding of slope performance, mechanisms of instability, requirements for modeling and analysis, and new techniques for observation and modeling. Special attention is paid to the relation with the increasing frequency and consequences of natural and man-made hazards. Strategies and methods for assessing landslide susceptibility, hazard and risk are also explored. Moreover, the relevance of geotechnical analysis of slopes in the context of climate change scenarios is discussed. All theory is supported by numerous examples. ''...A wonderful book on Slope Stability....recommended as a refernence book to those who are associated with the geotechnical engineering profession (undergraduates, post graduates and consulting engineers)...'' Prof. Devendra Narain Singh, Indian Inst. of Technology, Mumbai, India ''I have yet to see a book that excels the range and depth of Geotechnical Slope Analysis... I have failed to find a topic which is not covered and that makes the book almost a single window outlet for the whole range of readership from students to experts and from theoreticians to practicing engineers...'' Prof. R.K. Bhandari, New Delhi, India
