This book was released on 1968 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A general-purpose test facility for determining the one-dimensional compression characteristics of soils subjected to impulse-type loads has been developed in order to help satisfy the ever-increasing demand for reliable soil-property data required in support of a wide variety of nuclear-weapons-effects-related problems. The design, fabrication, installation, and evaluation of the various elements which together comprise the test facility were accomplished. The various considerations involved in the design and evaluation of the newly developed test facility are discussed in detail, thus providing some insight into the types of factors which affect the experimental-accuracy capability of a one-dimensional compression test facility and thereby the reliability of the data obtained under any particular set of conditions.

Book excerpt: The classic, comprehensive guide to the physics of soil The physical behavior of soil under different environmental conditions impacts public safety on every roadway and in every structure; a deep understanding of soil mechanics is therefore an essential component to any engineering education. Soil Mechanics offers in-depth information on the behavior of soil under wet, dry, or transiently wet conditions, with detailed explanations of stress, strain, shear, loading, permeability, flow, improvement, and more. Comprehensive in scope, this book provides accessible coverage of a critical topic, providing the background aspiring engineers will need throughout their careers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experimental study of the relationship between pertinent wave-propagation parameters and the one-dimensional stress-strain behavior of two sands was conducted. The stress-strain relation for the sands was characterized by a nonlinear strain-hardening behavior. The nature of the stress-strain curve implied that shocks should form or be sustained in the soil. This phenomenon was studied by observing the dynamic and kinematic characteristics generated by a soft-fronted stress pulse applied at one end of a long slender column of laterally confined sand. To develop a method of predicting the kinematics of wave propagation from the stress-strain curve, the observed wave-propagation parameters were related to laboratory stress-strain curves. A unique sample container, loading system, and instrumentation system was developed. The experiments approximated one-dimensional conditions up to reflected stresses of 1,600 psi. The results indicated the shocking-up of the soft-fronted input pulse that could be predicted from the laboratory stress-strain curve. The particle-velocity versus wave-velocity relationships dictated the change in shape of the kinematic pulse and could be predicted using a secant modulus analysis technique. A very high stress versus time gradient (rise times less than 50 microsec) was observed to form as the wave propagated through the soil.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In November 2015, Buenos Aires, Argentina became the location of several important events for geo-professionals, with the simultaneous holding of the 6th International Symposium on Deformation Characteristics of Geomaterials, the 15th Pan-American Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (XV PCSMGE), the 8th South American Congress on Rock Mechanics (SCRM), as well as the 22nd Argentinean Congress of Geotechnical Engineering (CAMSIGXXII). This synergy provided a unique opportunity to exchange ideas and discuss current and future practices in the areas of soil mechanics and rock mechanics, and their applications in civil, energy, environmental, and mining engineering. This book presents the proceedings of the 6th International Symposium on Deformation Characteristics of Geomaterials. As well as 118 articles selected for publication after peer review, it includes 7 lectures delivered by invited keynote speakers and the Third Bishop Lecture, delivered by Professor Herve Di Benedetto of the University of Lyon, France, who presented a reference work on the advanced testing and modeling of bituminous bounded and unbounded granular materials. The conference brought together practitioners, researchers and educators from around the world engaged in the understanding of the deformation properties of geo-materials before failure, and the small strain parameters as fundamental characteristics of geo-materials. The main topics covered by the symposium include experimental investigations from very small strains to beyond failure, including multi-physical approach; HTC M coupling behavior, characterization and modeling of various geo-materials and interfaces; and practical prediction and interpretation of ground responses: field observation and case histories.

Download or read book Pressure Waves in Soils Using a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar written by C. Allen Ross and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soil specimen lengths of 2.0, 4.0 and 6.0 inches were tested in a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) to determine effects of grain size, moisture content, confining pressure, and specimen length on material dampg, wave speed and transmissibility. For these SHPB tests the soil specimen length was long compared to the pulse length of the loading pulse. Three different grain sizes were tested for determination of damping/attenuation coefficients. A medium to fine sandy soil was tested both statically and dynamically for effects of moisture content, and compaction energy. The main conclusion is that the split- Hopkinson pressure bar can be used to obtain meaningful data on soil properties at intermediate strain rates. Considerable scatter is also present in the laboratory data. If further soil tests at intermediate strain rates are desired then the SHPB should be modified to accommodate a triaxial test call.
