This book was released on 2005-09-12 with total page 3742 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 16th ICSMGE responds to the needs of the engineering and construction community, promoting dialog and exchange between academia and practice in various aspects of soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. This is reflected in the central theme of the conference 'Geotechnology in Harmony with the Global Environment'. The proceedings of the conference are of great interest for geo-engineers and researchers in soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. Volume 1 contains 5 plenary session lectures, the Terzaghi Oration, Heritage Lecture, and 3 papers presented in the major project session. Volumes 2, 3, and 4 contain papers with the following topics: Soil mechanics in general; Infrastructure and mobility; Environmental issues of geotechnical engineering; Enhancing natural disaster reduction systems; Professional practice and education. Volume 5 contains the report of practitioner/academic forum, 20 general reports, a summary of the sessions and workshops held during the conference.

Book Geotechnics of Roads  Fundamentals

Download or read book Geotechnics of Roads Fundamentals written by Bernardo Caicedo and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-11-12 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At first glance, roads seem like the simplest possible geotechnical structures. However, analysis of these structures runs up against complexities related to the intense stresses experienced by road surfaces, their intense interaction with climate, and the complicated behavior of the materials used in road construction. Modern mechanistic approaches to road design provide the tools capable of developing new technical solutions. However, use of these approaches requires deep understanding of the behavior of constituent materials and their interaction with water and heat which has recently been acquired thanks to advances in geotechnical engineering. The author comprehensively describes and explains these advances and their use in road engineering in the two-volume set Geotechnics of Roads, compiling information that had hitherto only been available in numerous research papers. Geotechnics of Roads: Fundamentals presents stresses and strains in road structures, water and heat migration within and between layers of road materials, and the effects of water on the strength and stiffness of those materials. It includes a deep analysis of soil compaction, one of the most important issues in road construction. Compaction accounts for only a small proportion of a construction budget but its effects on the long-term performance of a road are decisive. In addition, the book describes methodologies for nondestructive road evaluation including analysis of continuous compaction control, a powerful technique for real-time quality control of road structures. This unique book will be of value to civil, structural and geotechnical engineers worldwide.

Book A Study of the Behavior of Soil and Rock Subjected to High Stress Levels

Download or read book A Study of the Behavior of Soil and Rock Subjected to High Stress Levels written by E. W. Brooker and published by . This book was released on 1965 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An analytical and experimental investigation has been conducted to study the behavior of sand and clay under high stresses. The analytical work developed equations for the stress-strain properties of a medium composed of elastic equi-radii spheres in a face-centered cubic array. Theoretical relationships between the coefficient of earth pressure at rest, the angle of internal friction, and the coefficient of friction between the spheres were also derived. A special zero-lateral-strain device was developed for one-dimensional compression tests on sand and clay. The tests were carried to axial stresses of 3300 psi on four sands and 2200 psi on five remolded clays. The tests on sand demonstrated that the grain shape and gradation were as important as relative density in influencing the stress-strain properties. Controlled radial strain tests on the sand, with axial stresses up to 5000 psi, disclosed a failure envelope with a significant decrease in slope under the high pressures. Unloading of the sands and clays caused the coefficient of earth pressure at rest to increase and approach the coefficient of passive earth pressure. (Author).

Geotechnics of Roads: Advanced Analysis and Modeling develops 23 extended examples that cover most of the theoretical aspects presented in the book Geotechnics of Roads, Fundamentals. Moreover, for most examples, Volume 2 describes algorithms for solving complex problems and provides Matlab® scripts for their solution. Consequently, Volume 2 is a natural complement of the book Geotechnics of roads: Fundamentals. This unique set will be of value to civil, structural and geotechnical engineers worldwide.
