Download or read book The Use of Horizontal Drains for Correcting a Landslide in the Greater Cincinnati Ohio Area written by Christopher Carl Hamant and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A landslide occurred in the Greater Cincinnati, Ohio Area as a result of the development of an apartment complex which required the cutting of a slope toe by 20 or more feet. The property and development configuration disallowed replacement of the slope toe and the depth and height of the slide mass prevented the construction of a reasonable retaining system. The landslide was stabilized by installing a drainage system consisting of 15 horizontal pipe drains. The discussion includes the development of a conceptual drain design and outlines the installation, which included considerable field adjustments. The drain installation resulted in the rapid lowering of the groundwater table more than 10 feet from its observed level during the drier months when the drains were installed. Individual drain flowrates were noted to approach and exceed 100,000 gallons per day, and continue to flow at rates as high as 20,000 gallons per day. Short-term and long-term monitoring programs are discussed as well as lessons learned for future landslide study and correction with horizontal drains.
Download or read book Drainage Design written by P. Smart and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a review of the principles and methods of drainage with an emphasis on design. The whole field of drainage is covered, and although the book concentrates mainly on the practice in North America, Europe and Britain, the practice in developing countries is also included. The book is directed primarily at the graduate engineer entering professional practice, but will also provide a useful reference for more senior engineers and for those in adjunct professions. Chapter 1 outlines the necessity for drainage on a large or small scale, for rural and urban areas. As the drainage engineer must decide how much unwanted water there will be and when it will occur, the chapter discusses climatic types, prediction of rainfall, evapotranspiration effects, return periods (of design storms and runoff events), river flow and flood prediction, and various sensing systems for providing short term predictions of rainfall, runoff, streamflow and flood warning. Chapter 2 gives a thorough review of the properties of soil in the context of drainage design. The extensive mathematical theories which relate to the crucial area of soil water movement are outlined and due attention is paid to the growing importance of predicting soil water movement in partially saturated soils.

Download or read book Landslides in Practice written by Derek H. Cornforth and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2005-02-25 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authoritative guide to landslide investigation, evaluation, and mitigation design Landslides in Practice combines clearly written descriptions and real-life case histories in an authoritative, practical guide to landslide investigation, evaluation, and mitigation design. It presents state-of-the-art investigative techniques and practical information on proven remediation techniques and technologies, including handy checklists for undertaking an initial field examination of a landslide. Landslides in Practice describes the technical tools needed to study landslides—site investigations, soil shear strength properties, and slope stability analyses—and details forty-five methods for stabilizing landslides or preventing instability in soils from occurring. Most remediation techniques are keyed to the ENR Construction Cost Index to help readers determine a rough estimate of the costs associated with the various techniques. To-the-point summaries explain presented techniques without confusing jargon, and dozens of succinct case histories integrated throughout the book serve as useful examples. In addition, twelve expanded case histories illustrate in depth many aspects of the landslide events and remediation strategies covered. Complete with hundreds of informative illustrations, Landslides in Practice is a valuable resource for engineers, geologists, consulting firms, and construction companies, as well as landscape architects, land developers, and trial lawyers in the construction industry.
