Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The basic concept of desaggregation is to develop a state of failure in soil media by a centre of pressure located at a convenient depth below the surface of the soil mass. The basic problem is presented in an analytical form which yields approximate solutions for the pressures required to cause failure in the medium at different depths of the centre of pressure and with different diameters of the pressure cavity. The consequences of the approximations are discussed and an altogether new theory is developed. The results of an application of this theory to the failure of a granular material are shown and a comparison with results obtained by the approximate analytical solution is made.

Download or read book A Feasibility Study of Mass Movement Disaggregation and Stabilization of Soil written by A. R. Nye and published by . This book was released on 1964 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soils which are marginal or too weak for trafficability of conventional military construction equipment were of primary interest. Included in this category are soils which exhibit very high cohesive or 'sticky' characteristics, at least within certain moisture content ranges, making them extremely difficult if not impossible to handle by conventional methods. The disaggregation of these cohesive soils by some explosive means is explored. Rather than use a mono-propellant, and introduce a logistics problem, it was proposed that hydrocarbon fuels be employed by combining them with compressed air to create the explosive pressures necessary to disaggregate the soil. By employing compressed air it is not necessary to transport the weight of the oxidizer as in the case of a monopropellant. Transporting large masses of soil, after displacement and disaggregation from its natural state, is often difficult if not impossible using conventional equipment, particularly in high cohesive soils when the moisture content level is between the plastic and liquid limit. One feasible means proposed of accomplishing both rapid transit and heating of the soil was to use the exhaust gases from an aircraft jet engine to convey the soil in a high velocity gas stream conducted through pipes or ducts. It was proposed that this means of soil transport also be evaluated. Finally, the disaggregated soil should be stabilized whether it is to be transported (by exhaust gases) or not. It was proposed that an investigation be conducted into the feasibility of using liquid sulphur as one means of accomplishing this stabilization.
Download or read book Mass Stabilization as a Ground Improvement Method for Soft Peaty written by Forsman Juha and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Construction of road embankments or other infrastructures on soft peat is a challenge. The main problems are high compressibility and rather low undrained shear strength of peat. Mass stabilization provides a solution to improve the properties of a peaty subgrade. Mass stabilization is a ground improvement method, where hardened soil mass is created by adding binder into soil and by controlled in situ mixing. Mass stabilization poses an alternative solution for conventional mass replacement or other techniques, which leave peat in place. The chapter deals with mass stabilization of soft peat soil. Specific attention is paid to design, research and construction considerations, and experience obtained during last three decades. Peat properties before and after stabilization, design methods including pre-testing, stabilization technique and machinery, quality control methods and practices, binder technology, long-term performance of mass stabilized peat, environmental effects, feasibility, applications, and limitations are all presented and discussed in this chapter. The long-term observations (during the last 25 years) have shown that the strength of stabilized peat has continued to increase in average 1.6 times from the strength of 30 days. Therefore, mass stabilization has proven to be a flexible ground improvement method for peat layers with maximum thickness of 8 m.

This book was released on 2014-11-07 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the present authors attempted to have a clear insight into the interworking of geotectonic, geomorphic, hydrologic and anthropogenic factors leading to landslide in the Shiv khola Watershed, the most worst affected region of Darjiling Himalaya. This book includes the parameters responsible for landslide events in mountainous areas. It provides knowledge and understanding to the local people, planners, and policy makers about the causes and consequences of landslides as well as provides a suitable method to mitigate the landslips. The book deals with the role of land, water and soil in landslide phenomena. These three attributes have been described in terms of critical rainfall, critical slope, critical height and changes and development of drainage network in landslides. Mitigations and site-specific management options are evaluated considering the roles of local govt., community and other organizations in both pre-slide and post-slide periods. Various scientific methods have been used to assess the landslides that will bring about tremendous help to researchers in the field. In particular, Researchers in Mountain Geomorphology and Geological and Geographical Society will get tremendous help from some topics such as 1-D slope stability model, SCS Curve Number Technique, Assessment of morphological parameters, application of RS & GIS, Application of Analytical Hierarchy Process. Semi-quantitative approach is followed for understanding spatial distribution of cohesion, friction angle slope, lithology and lineaments, drainage, upslope contributing area, land use and land cover types etc. This book also reveals some techniques and models for initiating slope instability.

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.

This book was released on 2022-04-30 with total page 755 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the leading international body for assessing the science related to climate change. It provides policymakers with regular assessments of the scientific basis of human-induced climate change, its impacts and future risks, and options for adaptation and mitigation. This IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate is the most comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of the observed and projected changes to the ocean and cryosphere and their associated impacts and risks, with a focus on resilience, risk management response options, and adaptation measures, considering both their potential and limitations. It brings together knowledge on physical and biogeochemical changes, the interplay with ecosystem changes, and the implications for human communities. It serves policymakers, decision makers, stakeholders, and all interested parties with unbiased, up-to-date, policy-relevant information. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
