Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last ten years, our understanding of the perfect plasticity and the associated flow rule assumption on which limit analysis is based has increased considerably. Many extensions and advances have been made in applications of limit analysis to the area of soil dynamics, in particular, to earthquake-induced slope failure and landslide problems and to earthquake-induced lateral earth pressures on rigid retaining structures. The purpose of the book therefore is in part to discuss the validity of the upper bound work (or energy) method of limit analysis in a form that can be appreciated by a practicing soil engineer, and in part to provide a compact and up-to-date summary of recent advances in the applications of limit analysis to earthquake-induced stability problems in soil mechanics.

Download or read book Introductory Geotechnical Engineering written by Hsai-Yang Fang and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 684 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrating and blending traditional theory with particle-energy-field theory, this book provides a framework for the analysis of soil behaviour under varied environmental conditions. This book explains the why and how of geotechnical engineering in an environmental context. Using both SI and Imperial units, the authors cover: rock mechanics soil mechanics and hydrogeology soil properties and classifications and issues relating to contaminated land. Students of civil, geotechnical and environmental engineering and practitioners unfamiliar with the particle-energy-field concept, will find that this book's novel approach helps to clarify the complex theory behind geotechnics.

Download or read book Assessment of the Coefficient of Lateral Earth Pressure at Rest Ko from In Situ Seismic Tests written by Guojun Cai and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The coefficient of the earth pressure at rest (Ko) is an important soil parameter that influences shear strength, stress-strain behavior, and compressibility characteristics of both cohesive and cohesionless soils. This paper presents a research study in which the Ko values of natural soil deposits are interpreted on the basis of seismic shear wave velocity measurements made at two research sites in Jiangsu province of China. Seismic piezocone penetration tests and cross-hole seismic logging tests were performed at both sites and these results have been used in two existing Ko-shear wave velocity models for prediction of Ko. The predicted Ko at both sites are compared with values determined utilizing Jaky's formula via laboratory measured strength parameters. Certain variations between predictions and measurements are noted for soils at shallow depths, which are attributed to stress history and desiccation in these layers. Further analysis developed correction factors that accounted for both soil types and overconsolidation ratio effects. These factors can be used with original models for better interpretation of Ko for overconsolidated clays. This approach showed a reasonable match between interpreted Ko properties from both models and those that utilize laboratory test results.

Download or read book In Situ Testing Methods in Geotechnical Engineering written by Alan J. Lutenegger and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-05-03 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Situ Testing Methods in Geotechnical Engineering covers the field of applied geotechnical engineering related to the use of in situ testing of soils to determine soil properties and parameters for geotechnical design. It provides an overview of the practical aspects of the most routine and common test methods, as well as test methods that engineers may wish to include on specific projects. It is suited for a graduate-level course on field testing of soils and will also aid practicing engineers. Test procedures for determining in situ lateral stress, strength, and stiffness properties of soils are examined, as is the determination of stress history and rate of consolidation. Readers will be introduced to various approaches to geotechnical design of shallow and deep foundations using in situ tests. Importantly, the text discusses the potential advantages and disadvantages of using in situ tests.

Download or read book Slope Analysis written by R Chowdury and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Slope Analysis summarizes the fundamental principles of slope analysis. It explores not only the similarities but also the differences in rock slopes and soil slopes, and it presents alternative methods of analysis, new concepts, and new approaches to analysis. The book introduces both natural and man-made slopes, the nature of soils and rocks, geomorphology, geology, and the aims of slope analysis. These topics are followed by chapters about stress and strain, shear strength of rock and soils, and progressive failure of slopes. This book also presents limit equilibrium methods I and II, which are the planar failure surfaces and slip surfaces of arbitrary shape, respectively. It also includes stress analysis and slope stability, natural slope analysis, and a brief review on plasticity and shear band analysis. Before presenting its conclusions, the book discusses special aspects of slope analysis, such as earthquake analysis, pseudo-static analysis, dynamic analysis, and anisotropy, in addition to Newmark's approach.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes research done to predict and measure the lateral earth pressures of a Piedmont Residual Soil, in the Charlotte Belt of North Carolina. A system was devised to measure the lateral earth pressure using a full-scale field test by using two parallel retaining walls, excavated in-between, as large moment cells. Preliminary modeling was done with the finite element program Plaxis to determine the optimal spacing of the walls, length of piles, type of piles, length of wall and excavation depth. The models were running using soil properties from past residual soil studies and it was decided to use 35 ft. PZ22 sheet piles, with an excavation depth of 20 ft. in 4 ft. lifts. A site was chosen just south-east of Statesville, North Carolina and preliminary SPT tests were done to confirm the presence of residual soil and to ensure complicating factors were minimized. Once the location was selected soil properties were obtained through SPT, CPT, DMT, and BST tests and used to created predictive models. Vibrating gages and inclinometer casings were affixed to representative sheet piles and driven as part of the center area of wall. After testing, the strain and deflection from each lift was obtained and through differentiation, approximations were made for the earth pressure distribution. The earth pressure distributions were then compared to results from Plaxis and hand calculations to examine consistency. From this work, a generally reasonable earth pressure distribution was obtained. Future investigations will be used tweak the distributions with the goal of obtaining a more accurate representation.
