This book was released on 1998 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focuses on a type of material mainly used in place of compacted backfill for pipe embedment and backfill, but gaining widely in applications. It is a mixture of cementitious material, soil, water, and sometimes fly ash and admixtures. Here 26 papers, from a June 1997 symposium in St. Louis, Missouri, describe new design procedures, new applications, and installation innovations in order to help assess the need for new or revised standards. They cover ingredients, properties, test methods, standards and specifications, case histories, and pipeline applications. The five current standards are appended.

Book excerpt: The Deep Mixing Method (DMM), a deep in-situ soil stabilization technique using cement and/or lime as a stabilizing agent, was developed in Japan and in the Nordic countries independently in the 1970s. Numerous research efforts have been made in these areas investigating properties of treated soil, behavior of DMM improved ground under static and d

Download or read book Spatial Diversity and Dynamics in Resources and Urban Development written by Ashok K. Dutt and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-15 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This double-volume work focuses on socio-demographics and the use of such data to support strategic resource management and planning initiatives. Papers go beyond explanations of methods, technique and traditional applications to explore new intersections in the dynamic relationship between the utilization and management of resources, and urban development. International authors explore numerous experiences, characteristics of development and decision-making influences from across Asia and Southeast Asia, as well as recounting examples from America and Africa. Papers propound techniques and methods used in geographical research such as support vector machines, socio-economic correlates and travel behaviour analysis. In this volume the contributions examine issues such as natural resource and environmental management, livelihoods issues in the context of climate change, land markets and land trusts, adaptive management of wildlife sanctuaries, ground water scarcity, flood hazards and flood plain management, non-conventional energy resources, community forestry and management and land use and land cover change. The significance of these topics lie in the pace and volume of change as is reflected through continued development within established fields of inquiry and the introduction of significantly new approaches during the last decade. Readers are invited to consider the dynamics of spatial expansion of urban areas and economic development, and to ex plore conceptual discussion of the innovations in and challenges on urbanization processes, urban spaces themselves and both resource management and environmental management. Together, the two volumes contribute to the interdisciplinary literature on regional resources and urban development by collating recent research with geography at its core. Scholars of urban geography, human geography, urbanism and sustainable development will be particularly interested in this book.

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.

Download or read book Determination of Embankment Density by the Seismic Method written by Robert J. Weaver and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report discusses the utility of a dynamic approach to embankment performance and views the latter as a consequence of the presence or absence of an elastic soil response to dynamic stresses imposed in service. Alteration of the soil by wave passage produces a measurable increase in the wave propagating ability of the soil. If a change occurs with repeated seismic disturbances, the soil has been altered by wave passage and therefore, its response was dynamically inelastic in the first instance. It is quite probable that the present density approach is extremely conservative in practice, expending great effort to produce a soil condition far in excess of that actually required by service demands. The parameter of longitudinal-velocity used in this research is not necessarily the most convenient for the purpose, and certain other investigations must also be carried out before a method of compaction measurement emerges form the inroads of this study. These are discussed briefly in the report.
