Download or read book Construction Productivity Advancement Research CPAR Program Geosynthetic Confined Pressurized Slurry GeoCoPS Supplemental Notes for Version 1 0 written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Construction in environmentally sensitive areas (e.g., wetlands) requires using techniques causing minimum disturbance and damage. One such technique can be achieved with the aid of dikes made of geosynthetic tubes. The flat tube can be placed manually and then be filled with slurry by pumping. The quickly formed dike then may retain water on one side while allowing construction on the other. Over time, vegetation may grow over the tube's exposed surface. Tubes can also be used to contain and cap contaminated soil by forming a working table over very soft soil, thus allowing the construction of an embankment. Tubes filled with mortar or sand have been used to construct groins to control beach erosion. Tubes are made of sewn geosynthetic sheets. Inlet openings on top allow for the attachment of a pipe that transports hydraulic fill into the tube. If the fill is sandy and the geosynthetic is very pervious (e.g., geotextile), these inlets should be spaced closely (30 ft apart) to ensure uniform filling of the tube. For example, flow and movement are possible only when sand particles are suspended in a sand/water mixture. If the inlets are spaced too far apart, water in the sand/water mixture will be lost by seepage through the wall of the tube, and movement of sand into the tube will stop. If clayey slurry is used, the inlets can be located as far as 500 ft apart because the fine clayey particles tend to rapidly blind the fabric, slowing down the water escape through the geotextile. The scope of this report is limited to the design aspect of selecting a geosynthetic.

Book Dikes and Revetments

Download or read book Dikes and Revetments written by Kristian Pilarczyk and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Low-lying countries, such as the Netherlands, are strongly dependent on good and safe sea defences. In the past, the design of dikes and revetments was mostly based on vague experience, rather than on general valid calculation methods. The demand for reliable design methods for protective structures has, in the Netherlands, resulted in increased research in this field. These contributions have been prepared by Dutch experts participating in the study groups of the Technical Advisory Committee on Water Defences. The book opens with an outline of general strategy and methodology on sea defences, illustrated in the following chapters by technical information on specific items and Dutch experience, and it ends with more general aspects such as probabilistic approach, integral (multifunctional) design, management & safety assessment. Together, these chapters provide an almost complete technical overview of the items needed for the design and maintenance of dikes and revetments. The enclosed CRESS-program allows for an initial estimation of hydraulic loads and preliminary design.

Book Geotechnical Research for Land Protection and Development

Download or read book Geotechnical Research for Land Protection and Development written by Francesco Calvetti and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-22 with total page 802 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume gathers the latest advances, innovations, and applications in the field of geotechnical engineering, as presented by leading researchers and engineers at the 7th Italian National Congress of Geotechnical Researchers (CNRIG 2019), entitled “Geotechnical Research for the Protection and Development of the Territory” (Lecco, Italy, July 3-5, 2019). The congress is intended to promote exchanges on the role of geotechnical research and its findings regarding the protection against natural hazards, design criteria for structures and infrastructures, and the definition of sustainable development strategies. The contributions cover a diverse range of topics, including infrastructural challenges, underground space utilization, and sustainable construction in problematic soils and situations, as well as geo-environmental aspects such as landfills, environmental and energy geotechnics, geotechnical monitoring, and risk assessment and mitigation. Selected by means of a rigorous peer-review process, they will spur novel research directions and foster future multidisciplinary collaborations.

Book Geosystems  Design Rules and Applications

Download or read book Geosystems Design Rules and Applications written by Adam Bezuijen and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2012-11-14 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geotextile encapsulated sand elements are three-dimensional systems manufactured from textile materials, non-woven materials or combinations of textile and non-woven materials that are filled with sand on-site. These systems are relatively new and the number of applications is growing in river and coastal engineering. Quite often Geosystems are mentioned as a possible solution, but planners, designers and contractors feel rather hesitant about the application of geotextile encapsulated sand elements due to a lack of experience and adequate design rules. The use of geosystems has the advantage that local material can be applied and that no (expensive) quarry stone needs to be extracted and transported from the mountains to the site. Compared to traditional construction methods (with quarry stone) the application of geotextile sand filled elements may add considerable operational advantages to the execution of marine works and may offer attractive financial opportunities. In the application of geotextile encapsulated sand elements however, proper attention should be paid to the laying down of different responsibilities of the parties in the contract. In Geosystems. Design Rules and Applications four types of geotextile sand elements are distinguished, each with specific properties: geo-bags, geo-mattresses, geotextile tubes and geotextile containers. The focus is on the use of geosystems filled with sand as a construction in river and coastal engineering. Geosystems filled with sludge are not covered. The chapters “Introduction” and “General design aspects” are followed by four chapters of the same structure dealing with the various systems. Each of these four chapters starts with a general description and applications and ends with a calculation example. Design aspects are dealt with in the remaining paragraphs. Geosystems. Design Rules and Applications is based on research commissioned by the Dutch Rijkswaterstaat and Delft Cluster. The realisation of the Dutch version was coordinated by a CUR-committee. The English version is a translation of the Dutch version (CUR-publication 217). However, new developments have been added and the text was checked once again and improved. Geosystems. Design Rules and Applications is an essential reference for professionals and academics interested in River and Coastal Engineering, but aims also at those interested in Geotechnical Engineering.
