This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soils are the most common and complex type of construction material. Virtually all structures are either built with soil (e.g., earth dams and embankments), in soil (e.g., tunnels and underground storage facilities), or on soil (e.g., building foundations and roads). Soil conditions and load combinations are unique to each site. To be able to predict soil behavior under the anticipated loading conditions, the mechanics of soils should be well understood, and their specific properties evaluated. The project design should also take into consideration the environmental, social, and economic factors.

Download or read book Geotechnical Engineering written by Sayed Hemeda and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2020-07-15 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses contemporary issues related to soil mechanics and foundation engineering in earthworks, which are critical components in construction projects and often require detailed management techniques and unique solutions to address failures and implement remedial measures. The geotechnical engineering community continues to improve the classical testing techniques for measuring critical properties of soils and rocks, including stress wave-based non-destructive testing methods as well as methods used to improve shallow and deep foundation design. To minimize failure during construction, contemporary issues and related data may reveal useful lessons to improve project management and minimize economic losses. This book focuses on these aspects using appropriate methods in a rather simple manner. It also touches upon many interesting topics in soil mechanics and modern geotechnical engineering practice such as geotechnical earthquake engineering, principals in foundation design, slope stability analysis, modeling in geomechanics, offshore geotechnics, and geotechnical engineering perspective in the preservation of historical buildings and archeological sites. A total of seven chapters are included in the book.

This book was released on 2023-01-19 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geotechnical engineering is now a fundamental component of construction projects. The fourth and final volume of this book presents a range of retaining structures, alongside soil reinforcement and improvement techniques and processes. Applied Geotechnics for Construction Projects 4 first presents the concept of thrust-fall, then goes on to examine the behavior of retaining structures and their design and justification methods. A variety of practical applications for retaining structures are then considered, covering gravity walls, sheet pile curtains, in advance shoring excavations and retaining diaphragm walls. The book goes on to study soil reinforcement and improvement techniques, a subject that the author has dedicated thirty-five years to researching and teaching: from reinforced earth, in situ soil nailing, micropiles, in situ soil compaction, stone columns and rigid inclusions to "soil-cement" and "lime cement" columns. This book ends with a comprehensive and practical discussion of the behavior of underground structures; covering the concepts of convergence-confinement, stress evolution and subsidence estimation. Each chapter of this fourth volume is illustrated with concrete examples and measurements of retaining structures, soil reinforcement and soil improvement from construction sites. The result is a combination of geotechnical expertise and lessons learned from experience, both of which are highly valuable in the field of applied geotechnics for construction projects.
