Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High strength geotextiles have allowed construction of embankments on soft soil foundations that will not support a man walking or support of conventional construction equipment. High strength geotextiles coupled with plastic strip drains have virtually eliminated the use of sand drains in the consolidation of soft clay deposits. This report describes a number of case histories of geotextile fabric-reinforced embankments constructed on very soft foundations in both Europe and the United States. The fabric-reinforcement philosophy for embankment design and construction developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers is presented in this report. Use of the design and construction techniques and methodology described in this report represent the latest state of the art for geotextile fabric-reinforced Embankment constructed on soft foundations.

Download or read book Embankments on Organic Soils written by J. Hartlén and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1996-11-08 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More and more civil engineering constructions are being built on soft soils. As areas with better foundations are used up the necessity to be able to build structures on soft soils increases. The most troublesome of soft soils are organic soils due mainly to their high compressibility (much higher than in mineral soils), and also their very low shear strength. The large diversity of organic soils with respect to their origin as well as their properties make classification, testing, and engineering prediction of behaviour, very difficult. For this reason, engineers try, in general, to avoid constructing on deep layers of organic soils. If forced, by necessity, to do so, they manage with light structures e.g. embankments or low buildings. The authors of this book have been involved in a joint research project on the testing of embankments on organic soils. This was carried out in the North-Western part of Poland by the Swedish Geotechnical Institute and the Department of Geotechnics of Warsaw Agricultural University. The results of their research is presented in this new book and provides a valuable insight into this growing area in the field of engineering geology.

Download or read book Reinforced soil Embankment on Soft Foundation written by Tien H. Wu and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A section of I-670 in Columbus, OH, constructed during 1997-1998, includes a 33 ft. (l0 m) high embankment over a deposit of very soft sludge. The design used geosynthetics for reinforcement of the embankment and wick drains to accelerate the consolidation in the sludge. Stage construction was used to allow consolidation of the sludge. To verify the design assumptions, a test embankment was completed in 1993. The performance of the test embankment provided the information for the design of the full scale embankment. This project provided the opportunity to demonstrate the application of research findings from the test embankment to actual design and construction. The objective was to demonstrate how research findings can be used in design and construction. This report shows (1) how the results of the test embankment were used in the design of the full-scale embankment and prediction of the embankment performance, (2) how observation of the embankment performance can be used as construction control and (3) how the results can be used in future application of similar technology.

Book excerpt: The first book of its kind, providing over thirty real-life case studies of ground improvement projects selected by the worlds top experts in ground improvement from around the globe. Volume 3 of the highly regarded Elsevier Geo-engineering book series coordinated by the Series Editor: Professor John A Hudson FREng. An extremely reader friendly chapter format. Discusses wider economical and environmental issues facing scientists in the ground improvement. Ground improvement has been both a science and art, with significant developments observed through ancient history. From the use of straw as blended infill with soils for additional strength during the ancient Roman civilizations, and the use of elephants for compaction of earth dams during the early Asian civilizations, the concepts of reinforced earth with geosynthetics, use of electrokinetics and thermal modifications of soils have come a long way. The use of large and stiff stone columns and subsequent sand drains in the past has now been replaced by quicker to install and more effective prefabricated vertical drains, which have also eliminated the need for more expensive soil improvement methods.The early selection and application of the most appropriate ground improvement techniques can improve considerably not only the design and performance of foundations and earth structures, including embankments, cut slopes, roads, railways and tailings dams, but also result in their cost-effectiveness. Ground improvement works have become increasingly challenging when more and more problematic soils and marginal land have to be utilized for infrastructure development.This edited compilation contains a collection of Chapters from invited experts in various areas of ground improvement, who have illustrated the basic concepts and the applications of different ground improvement techniques using real projects that they have been involved in. The case histories from many countries ranging from Asia, America, Australia and Europe are addressed.

This book was released on 1989 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to geotechnical engineers, highway designers, construction engineers, planners, and others interested in constructing or widening highway embankments on problem foundations. Information is presented on site investigation and testing and on the various construction alternatives that are available when a highway must cross a problem foundation site. Construction over problem soil areas requires extensive site investigations and comparative design analyses to evaluate alternatives. This report of the Transportation Research Board updates and expands synthesis 29, which was published in 1973. It discusses the treatments and construction procedures that can be used to construct highway embankments over areas of soil that would otherwise not support such embankments. It describes site investigations, design analyses, and the kinds of treatments currently being used, including where they are applicable and the advantages and disadvantages of each.
