Download or read book Offshore Technology in Civil Engineering written by J. S. Templeton and published by ASCE Publications. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains nine classic papers from the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC), which is the world's leading event for the development of offshore resources in the fields of drilling, exploration, production, and environmental protection. These papers provide innovation in, vision for, and lasting impact on design, construction or installation of offshore infrastructure, and have influence far beyond the offshore industry, some becoming integral to the design process of onshore structures such as buildings and bridges. The ASCE OTC Committee have chosen these classic documents to represent the outstanding papers from the early years of the OTC that withstand test of time. They contain engineering methods that have proven their value through widespread use, permeating codes, standards, guidelines and engineering software. Topics include: wave force evaluation; ultimate strength and reverse capacity; tubular joint material and design; pile foundations; and pipeline installation.

Download or read book Single Piles and Pile Groups Under Lateral Loading written by Lymon C. Reese and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2010-12-15 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The complexities of designing piles for lateral loads are manifold as there are many forces that are critical to the design of big structures such as bridges, offshore and waterfront structures and retaining walls. The loads on structures should be supported either horizontally or laterally or in both directions and most structures have in common t

Download or read book Drilled Shaft Manual Structural analysis and design for lateral loading by written by Lymon C. Reese and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drilled shafts have been used on a limited scale for many years as an alternative to driven piles in a variety of foundation problems. However, uncertainty about the behavior of the drilled shaft has forestalled widespread adoption. The subject package, by Dr. Lymon C. Reese of the University of Texas, is intended for use by bridge engineers, geotechnical engineers, and builders of pile foundations. The manual contains rational procedures and practical guidelines for the design and construction of drilled shaft foundations. Volume I presents a rational design procedure for drilled shafts under axial loading and includes guidelines on construction methods, inspection, load testing, specifications, and cost estimates. Volume II presents alternative methods for computing the response of the shaft to lateral loading and presents the structural design of the shaft for axial and/or lateral loading.

Download or read book Analysis and Design of Shallow and Deep Foundations written by Lymon C. Reese and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2005-11-25 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One-of-a-kind coverage on the fundamentals of foundation analysis and design Analysis and Design of Shallow and Deep Foundations is a significant new resource to the engineering principles used in the analysis and design of both shallow and deep, load-bearing foundations for a variety of building and structural types. Its unique presentation focuses on new developments in computer-aided analysis and soil-structure interaction, including foundations as deformable bodies. Written by the world's leading foundation engineers, Analysis and Design of Shallow and Deep Foundations covers everything from soil investigations and loading analysis to major types of foundations and construction methods. It also features: * Coverage on computer-assisted analytical methods, balanced with standard methods such as site visits and the role of engineering geology * Methods for computing the capacity and settlement of both shallow and deep foundations * Field-testing methods and sample case studies, including projects where foundations have failed, supported with analyses of the failure * CD-ROM containing demonstration versions of analytical geotechnical software from Ensoft, Inc. tailored for use by students in the classroom

Download or read book Recent Advances in Modeling Landslides and Debris Flows written by Wei Wu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-09-12 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Landslides and debris flows belong to the most dangerous natural hazards in many parts of the world. Despite intensive research, these events continue to result in human suffering, property losses, and environmental degradation every year. Better understanding of the mechanisms and processes of landslides and debris flows will help make reliable predictions, develop mitigation strategies and reduce vulnerability of infrastructure. This book presents contributions to the workshop on Recent Developments in the Analysis, Monitoring and Forecast of Landslides and Debris Flow, in Vienna, Austria, September 9, 2013. The contributions cover a broad spectrum of topics from material behavior, physical modelling over numerical simulation to applications and case studies. The workshop is a joint event of three research projects funded by the European Commission within the 7th Framework Program: MUMOLADE (Multiscale modelling of landslides and debris flows, www.mumolade.com), REVENUES (Numerical Analysis of Slopes with Vegetations, http://www.revenues-eu.com) and HYDRODRIL (Integrated Risk Assessment of Hydrologically-Driven Landslides, www.boku.ac.at/igt/).

Download or read book Laterally Loaded Piles and Computer Program COM624G written by Lymon C. Reese and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the soil immediately below the base of a structure will not provide adequate bearing capacity, piles can be used to transfer load from the structure to soil strata which can support the applied load. This report deals with analysis of the lateral interaction of pile shaft and soil. Examples of such problems encountered by the Corps of Engineers are single-pile dolphins and baffles for grade control structures. A computer program called COM624, along with documentation, was developed at the University of Texas (UT) at Austin, to analyze laterally loaded pile problems. Analysis performed by program COM624 is dependent upon soil parameters input to the program. These soil parameters take the form of curves which simulate the nonlinear interaction of the pile and the surrounding soil. The UT Report also presented criteria for developing these soil response curves in various types of soils. This report consolidates the information available on laterally loaded pile analysis and provides supplementary data on Program COM624 (redesignated as COM624G). It describes modifications made in the input procedures and the addition of graphics options.
