This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is known that peak angle of friction (_p^') for sands decreases as normal stress increases until critical state. The suppression of dilation of sands as normal stresses increase results in particle breakage, which contributes to this reduction in peak strength. There is still disagreement regarding how suppression of dilation and particle breakage affects sands critical state angle of friction (_cs^'). A total of 178 direct shear tests on three different sand types were completed to investigate the effects of suppression of dilation on the shear strength of sands, as well as effects of particle size, shape and sample size. _p^' decreased with suppression of dilation as expected. In general, _cs^' decreased by 7-9.5o as dilation was suppressed, and was found to decrease with increasing particle size. Particle shape showed less influence on _cs^' as dilation was suppressed. The effects of particle shape and sample size on _cs^' were more difficult to quantify.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saturated undrained triaxial tests and air dry torsional shear tests were carried out on several sands. Two rates of strain were used, approxi mately 1000%/sec. and 3%/sec. These tests clear ly showed that dilation of sand increases with an increase of strain-rate. These tests also showed that the greatest effect of strain-rate on strength in sand occurs when the restraint of dilation is stiffest. In undrained saturated triaxial sts the strength increase due to in crease of strain-rate can be as high as 30 per cent. No pronounced effect of strain-rate on fraction angle was observed. (Author).

Download or read book Fundamentals of Fibre Reinforced Soil Engineering written by Sanjay Kumar Shukla and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-16 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended to serve as a one-stop reference on fibre-reinforced soils. Over the past 30-35 years, the engineering behaviour of randomly distributed/oriented fibre-reinforced soil, also called simply fibre-reinforced soil, has been investigated in detail by researchers and engineers worldwide. Waste fibres (plastic waste fibres, old tyre fibres, etc.) create disposal and environmental problems. Utilization of such fibres in construction can help resolve these concerns. Research studies and some field applications have shown that the fibres can be utilized in large quantities in geotechnical and civil engineering applications in a cost-effective and environmentally friendly manner. This book covers a complete description of fibres, their effects when included within a soil or other similar materials such as the fly ash, and their field applications. It gives a detailed view of fibre-reinforced soil engineering. The book will be useful to students, professional, and researchers alike, and can also serve as a text for graduate coursework and professional development programs

This book was released on 2018-08-24 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solid design and craftsmanship are a necessity for structures and infrastructures that must stand up to natural disasters on a regular basis. Continuous research developments in the engineering field are imperative for sustaining buildings against the threat of earthquakes and other natural disasters. Recent Challenges and Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering provides innovative insights into the methods of structural engineering techniques, as well as disaster management strategies. The content within this publication represents the work of rock fracturing, hazard analysis, and seismic acceleration. It is a vital reference source for civil engineers, researchers, and academicians, and covers topics centered on improving a structure’s safety, stability, and resistance to seismic hazards.

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.

Book excerpt: A Rigorous and Definitive Guide to Soil LiquefactionSoil liquefaction occurs when soil loses much of its strength or stiffness for a time-usually a few minutes or less-and which may then cause structural failure, financial loss, and even death. It can occur during earthquakes, from static loading, or even from traffic-induced vibration. It occurs w
