Download or read book Guidelines of Engineering Practice for Braced and Tied back Excavations written by American Society of Civil Engineers. Committee on Earth Retaining Structures and published by ASCE Publications. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When an excavation is made in soil or rock, materials adjacent to the cut face lose their natural lateral support. It then becomes necessary to support the excavation by using braces and tiebacks. These will provide the lateral restraint needed for safety. These guidelines have been prepared to aid civil engineers in making the essential decisions regarding construction safety and excavation activities. They are also intended to provide information and conceptual orientation for owners, funding agencies, contractors, and engineering and architectural staff.

Download or read book The Manual of Below Grade Waterproofing written by Justin Henshell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-23 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ever evolving technology of waterproofing presents challenges and risks for architects and engineers who do not specialize in the field. The revised edition of The Manual of Below-Grade Waterproofing Systems provides the education and product information to enable designers to take a sound, fundamental approach to these contemporary challenges. Building designers specify waterproofing systems and materials that are often based on limited and subjective manufacturers’ literature or past experience with systems that work under specific conditions, but will fail in other installations. Leakage usually leads to litigation. This book gives you the tools to prevent that. This manual covers the history and science of waterproofing materials, the considerable distinctions between waterproofing roofs and plazas and below-grade surfaces, the critical procedures for protecting waterproofing materials during construction, diagnosing and remediating leaks, writing specifications, and detailing waterproofing components. The pros and cons of every waterproofing material and system are comprehensively covered. You will learn how to: • weigh positive- versus negative-side waterproofing systems • weigh dampproofing versus waterproofing • coordinate with all the professionals in the waterproofing delivery chain • follow environmental protection and government regulations This book is an essential resource for architects, civil engineers, contractors, designers, materials manufacturers, and all other professionals involved with the design and construction of underground spaces.

Many of these papers contain information as useful today as when they were first written. Others provide great insight into the origins and development of the field and the thought processes of its leaders.
Download or read book Soft Soil Engineering written by Dave H. Chan and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2006-09-28 with total page 808 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soft soils present particular challenges to engineers and an understanding of the specific characteristics of these soils is indispensable. Laboratory techniques such as numerical modelling, theoretical analysis and constitutive modelling give new insights into soft soil material behaviour, while large-scale testing in the field provides important information in areas such as slope stability and soft soil improvements. This collection of papers from the Fourth International Conference on Soft Soil Engineering, Vancouver, 2006, presents an international appraisal of current research and new advances in engineering practices, illustrating the theory with relevant case studies. Geotechnical professionals, engineers, academics and researchers working in the areas of soft ground engineering and soft soil engineering will find this a valuable book.
