This book was released on 2000 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conventional procedure for determining the drained shear strength of a soil is by performing a strain-controlled undrained triaxial test and using the pore-pressure measurements to determine the effective stress parameters. The ability of this standard test to predict the drained strength is evaluated by comparing drained, undrained, stress-controlled, and strain-controlled triaxial tests. All the tests were performed on reasonably uniform samples of lakebed clay. The results of this research indicate that the standard practice of obtaining the drained strength of a soil from a consolidated undrained triaxial test is valid. The drained strength determined in this research is slightly lower than the undrained strength. This difference is attributed to the slower rate of shear used in the drained test. The shear strength determined by strain-controlled and stress-controlled triaxial tests is also evaluated. The results of this research indicate that the method of applying load to the specimen does not significantly affect the shear strength. It is concluded that the strain-controlled test is the better method since it is easier to conduct.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soils, rocks and concrete are the principal materials a civil engineer encounters in practice. This book deals with the material analogies, their implications in property characterization, giving attention to similar as well as dissimilar methods in respect of each of these three materials. It provides an integrated, systematic approach for realistic assessment of engineering properties of soils, rocks and concrete. Geotechnical engineers, civil engineers and materials scientists will be interested in this volume.

Download or read book Fundamentals of Deep Excavations written by Chang-Yu Ou and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-10-25 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excavation is an important segment of foundation engineering (e.g., in the construction of the foundations or basements of high-rise buildings, underground oil tanks, or subways). However, the excavation knowledge introduced in most books on foundation engineering is too simple to handle actual excavation analysis and design. Moreover, with economic development and urbanization, excavations go deeper and are larger in scale. These conditions require elaborate analysis, design methods and construction technologies. This book is aimed at both theoretical explication and practical application. From basic to advanced, this book attempts to achieve theoretical rigor and consistency. Each chapter is followed by a problem set so that the book can be readily taught at senior undergraduate and graduate levels. The solution to the problems at the end of the chapters can be found on the website (http://www.ct.ntust.edu.tw/ou/). On the other hand, the analysis methods introduced in the book can be used in actual analysis and design as they contain the most up-to-date knowledge. Therefore, this book is suitable for teachers who teach foundation engineering and/or deep excavation courses and engineers who are engaged in excavation analysis and design.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Although the triaxial compression test is presently the most widely used procedure for determining strength and stress-deformation properties of soils, there have been no books published on triaxial testing since the 1962 second edition of the landmark work The Measurement of Soil Properties in the Triaxial Test by Bishop and Henkel. It is apparent there is a need to document advances made in triaxial testing since publication of Bishop and Henkel's book and to examine the current state of the art in a forum devoted solely to triaxial testing. Because of increasing versatility brought about by recent developments in testing techniques and equipment, it is also important that the geotechnical profession be provided with an up-to-date awareness of potential uses for the triaxial test."--Overview.
