Download or read book Ground Improvement written by Professor Jian Chu and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2005-11-07 with total page 1137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book of its kind, providing over thirty real-life case studies of ground improvement projects selected by the worlds top experts in ground improvement from around the globe. Volume 3 of the highly regarded Elsevier Geo-engineering book series coordinated by the Series Editor: Professor John A Hudson FREng. An extremely reader friendly chapter format. Discusses wider economical and environmental issues facing scientists in the ground improvement. Ground improvement has been both a science and art, with significant developments observed through ancient history. From the use of straw as blended infill with soils for additional strength during the ancient Roman civilizations, and the use of elephants for compaction of earth dams during the early Asian civilizations, the concepts of reinforced earth with geosynthetics, use of electrokinetics and thermal modifications of soils have come a long way. The use of large and stiff stone columns and subsequent sand drains in the past has now been replaced by quicker to install and more effective prefabricated vertical drains, which have also eliminated the need for more expensive soil improvement methods.The early selection and application of the most appropriate ground improvement techniques can improve considerably not only the design and performance of foundations and earth structures, including embankments, cut slopes, roads, railways and tailings dams, but also result in their cost-effectiveness. Ground improvement works have become increasingly challenging when more and more problematic soils and marginal land have to be utilized for infrastructure development.This edited compilation contains a collection of Chapters from invited experts in various areas of ground improvement, who have illustrated the basic concepts and the applications of different ground improvement techniques using real projects that they have been involved in. The case histories from many countries ranging from Asia, America, Australia and Europe are addressed.

Book excerpt: This excellent handbook combines four technical manuals covering Site Investigations, Laboratory Testing of Soils and basic Soils Engineering applicable to the Planning, Design and Construction of Pile Foundations and other major Civil Structures. Our manual reviews the various methods of conducting site investigations and laboratory and field testing, preliminary to project design. Covering the basics of soils identification procedures and goes on to settlement behavior, seepage, slope stability and other important subjects. Detailing some more difficult technical subjects including seismic activity and vibrations to some of the modern solutions for soils stabilization such as vibro-flotation and cement or chemical grouting methods.
Download or read book Soft Clay Engineering and Ground Improvement written by Jay Ameratunga and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-04-21 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soft Clay Engineering and Ground Improvement covers the design and implementation of ground improvement techniques as applicable to soft clays. This particular subject poses major geotechnical challenges in civil engineering. Not only civil engineers, but planners, architects, consultants and contractors are now aware what soft soils are and the risks associated with development of such areas. The book is designed as a reference and useful tool for those in the industry, both to consultants and contractors. It also benefits researchers and academics working on ground improvement of soft soils, and serves as an excellent overview for postgraduates. University lecturers are beginning to incorporate more ground improvement topics into their curricula, and this text would be ideal for short courses for practicing engineers. It includes several examples to assist a newcomer to carry out preliminary designs. The three authors, each with dozens of years of experience, have witnessed and participated in the rapid evolvement of ground improvement in soft soils. In addition, top-tier professionals who deal with soft clays and ground improvement on a daily basis have contributed, providing their expertise in dealing with real-world problems and practical solutions.
Download or read book Soil Strength and Slope Stability written by J. Michael Duncan and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2005-01-25 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Authoritative, state-of-the-art guidance to soil strength and slope-stability analysis Through clear, concise language and practical examples, Soil Strength and Slope Stability describes state-of-the-art methods for the evaluation and analysis of soil strength, as well as design and stabilization of slopes in soil. The principles of limit equilibrium analysis and appropriate use of computer programs are emphasized. Methods are described for checking the results of complex analyses and for presenting results of slope stability analyses clearly. These are illustrated through many examples. Written by two recognized experts in the field, Soil Strength and Slope Stability features: Case histories of landslides, embankment failures, and excavation slope failures Principles that govern the shear strength of soils, including shear strength of municipal solid waste Methods for estimating and evaluating shear strengths based on back analysis of slope failures and stable slopes Explanations of the conditions that slopes must be designed to endure Detailed explanations of analysis methods for short-term and long-term stability, rapid drawdown, earthquakes, and partial consolidation A wide range of analysis methods, methods for verifying results, and advice on presenting the results of slope stability analyses, including the importance of using multiple and/or independent methods Methods for repairing failed slopes and stabilizing marginally stable slopes Visually informative with more than 250 illustrations, Soil Strength and Slope Stability is a complete and practical resource for geotechnical engineers, engineering geologists, civil engineers, geologists, environmental engineers, and students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natural soft soils are very complex materials. As construction activities increasingly take place in poor ground conditions, ground improvement is often required. However, design practices for ground improvement were for long at best crude and conservative, and at worst unsafe. Although new construction and field observation techniques have been de
