Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Corps of Engineers has prepared a basic report of investigation for proposed underwater barriers in the San Francisco Bay area. In completing this study, it has been necessary to obtain soil design constants and to develop methods of analyses. This paper deals with the comparison of field vane-shear results and shear-strength constants as developed in the laboratory. The tests were conducted on soft bay mud that had been overlain for several years with a large displacement type fill.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Highway embankment is one of the most common large-scale geotechnical facilities constructed in Ohio. In the past, the design of these embankments was largely based on soil shear strength properties that had been estimated from previously published empirical correlations and/or crude soil test results. This is because either the actual soil fill material is not available for testing at the time of embankment design or detailed shear strength determination of soil samples in the laboratory tends to be time-consuming and expensive. Structural stability of these embankments is vital to the state economy and public safety. There is a strong need to conduct a study to examine whether the empirical correlations are truly applicable to Ohio soils and to develop comprehensive geotechnical guidelines concerning the shear strength properties of cohesive soils typically used in Ohio. In this study, soil samples from nine highway embankment sites scattered across Ohio were tested both in the field and laboratory to establish comprehensive geotechnical properties of cohesive soil fills, which represent a wide range of geological features existing in the state. The large volume of soil data produced in the study was then analyzed to evaluate reliability of the empirical correlations and derive statistically strong correlations for shear strength properties of cohesive soil fill materials found in Ohio. Based on the outcome of these analyses, multi-level guidelines are proposed by the author for estimating shear strength properties of Ohio cohesive soils more confidently.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consolidated-drained direct shear (S) tests were made by the controlled-stress and controlled-strain methods using compacted samples of two types of soil. The results indicate that peak shear strengths determined by the two methods are in reasonable agreement. The controlled-strain method has the following advantages: (a) it permits determination of ultimate shear strengths and better control of the rate of deformation, and (b) the application of shear stress is automatic and the method is more adaptable to electronic recording of stress and deformation data.

Download or read book Soft Soil Engineering written by Dave H. Chan and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2006-09-28 with total page 808 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soft soils present particular challenges to engineers and an understanding of the specific characteristics of these soils is indispensable. Laboratory techniques such as numerical modelling, theoretical analysis and constitutive modelling give new insights into soft soil material behaviour, while large-scale testing in the field provides important information in areas such as slope stability and soft soil improvements. This collection of papers from the Fourth International Conference on Soft Soil Engineering, Vancouver, 2006, presents an international appraisal of current research and new advances in engineering practices, illustrating the theory with relevant case studies. Geotechnical professionals, engineers, academics and researchers working in the areas of soft ground engineering and soft soil engineering will find this a valuable book.

Download or read book Aquananotechnology written by David E. Reisner and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2014-09-24 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world’s fresh water supplies are dwindling rapidly—even wastewater is now considered an asset. By 2025, most of the world's population will be facing serious water stresses and shortages. Aquananotechnology: Global Prospects breaks new ground with its informative and innovative introduction of the application of nanotechnology to the remediation of contaminated water for drinking and industrial use. It provides a comprehensive overview, from a global perspective, of the latest research and developments in the use of nanotechnology for water purification and desalination methods. The book also covers approaches to remediation such as high surface area nanoscale media for adsorption of toxic species, UV treatment of pathogens, and regeneration of saturated media with applications in municipal water supplies, produced water from fracking, ballast water, and more. It also discusses membranes, desalination, sensing, engineered polymers, magnetic nanomaterials, electrospun nanofibers, photocatalysis, endocrine disruptors, and Al13 clusters. It explores physics-based phenomena such as subcritical water and cavitation-induced sonoluminescence, and fog harvesting. With contributions from experts in developed and developing countries, including those with severe contamination, such as China, India, and Pakistan, the book’s content spans a wide range of the subject areas that fall under the aquananotechnology banner, either squarely or tangentially. The book strongly emphasizes sorption media, with broad application to a myriad of contaminants—both geogenic and anthropogenic—keeping in mind that it is not enough for water to be potable, it must also be palatable.
