Book Expansive Soils

Download or read book Expansive Soils written by John Nelson and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1997-02-13 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essential technical information for building on expansive soils--complete with practical, proven design methods. Expansive Soils examines factors that influence the design offoundations and pavements built on expansive soils, and exploreskey design procedures and remedial measures that address thesefactors effectively. Backed by the authors' extensive research andexperience --including interviews with practicing engineers workingwith expansive soils --this authoritative volume is an importantreference text for geotechnical and foundation engineers,geologists, construction professionals, and students. Easy to understand and apply, Expansive Soils contains: * Site investigation techniques for identification andclassification of expansive soils * Heave prediction methods using different types of data --withrigorous treatment of soil suction theory and measurement,oedometer tests, and more * Alternative design procedures for drilled pier and slab-on-gradefoundations, highway and airfield pavements * Treatment and chemical stabilization techniques --including salttreatment; moisture barriers; lime and cement stabilization; andother procedures * Remedial measures such as drainage control, and removal withreplacement and compaction control * Sample problems illustrating practical applications.

Book Overview for Design of Foundations on Expansive Soils

Download or read book Overview for Design of Foundations on Expansive Soils written by Lawrence D. Johnson and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerous structures constructed on expansive clay soil experience significant damage from differential heave and settlement. The types of structures most often damaged from heaving soil include highways, foundations and walls of residential and light commercial buildings, canal and reservoir linings, and retaining walls. The leading cause of foundation heave or settlement is change in soil moisture attributed to change in the field environment (e.g., climatic changes, prevention of evaporation beneath covered areas, improper drainage following construction and from usage requirements of the structure. This report provides background information for establishing the preliminary design of structures in swelling soil areas based on field studies conducted by the Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station and experiences of numerous investigators. The overview includes analyses of site and soil investigations, topography and landscaping including drainage and soil stabilization techniques, and selection of the foundation and super-structure. General suggestions for remedial repair of existing structures are provided. Analyses of the movement of cast-in-place concrete piers in swelling soil are included to provide a basis for design of these foundations. Appendices include: Determination of soil suction by thermocouple psychrometers; and Prediction of pier movement.
