This book was released on 2009 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soft clay soil can be categorized as problematic soil. The low strength and high compressibility characteristics the soil had, are the major reasons why a careful design analysis could be taken for any structure built on it. Due to these problems, soil investigation on the basic properties and shear strength of the soil must be carried out. This soft clay study has contributed to local engineering studies regarding the basic soil properties and shear strength in Langgar and Pahang Tua soil, where both are located in Pekan. Attempts were made to analyze the soil samples in laboratory. Overall, from the basic soil properties results, there are strong potential for the soil in Langgar and Pahang Tua to be concluded as soft clay type of soil. From the requirement set by American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASTHO), both Langgar and Pahang Tua soil samples have been dominant by clay particles with more than 35% passing the No.200 sieve, which are 52% in Langgar and 57% in Pahang Tua. The natural moisture content in Langgar and Pahang Tua soil samples are each 57% and 48% which are within the range of moisture content for soft clay soil. For atterberg limit results, Langgar has liquid limit of 51% and plastic limit of 26%. For Pahang Tua, the liquid limit and plastic limit result are 58% and 27%. Based on plasticity chart, both Langgar and Pahang Tua have been determined to be plotted as clay with high plasticity. The shear strength test results have clearly shown the weakness of Langgar and Pahang Tua soil which are within the strength of a soft clay. Both Langgar and Pahang Tua have 19.18kPa and 21.11kPa of shear strength. The results that have been determined from this study can give an extra dimension and usage for engineers to use for any preliminary design in the area of Pekan. The results data of the basic soil properties and shear strength could also allow a quick and economic alternative in order to design for construction on soft clay soil.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engineering Properties of Soils and Rocks, Third Edition serves as a guide to the engineering properties and behavior of soils and rocks. The text also complements other texts on rock and soil mechanics. The book covers topics such as the properties and classification of soils such as tills and other kinds of soils related to cold climates, tropical soils, and organic soils such as peat. The text also includes the engineering behavior and properties, classification and description, discontinuities, and weathering of rocks and rock masses. The monograph is recommended for engineers who would like to know about the properties of soils and rocks and the application of their study in the field of engineering.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solutions for soil engineering and soil-structure interaction problems need realistic and pertinent experimental and modelling tools. In this work, extensive developments proposed by the invited speakers of the Lyon International Symposium held in September 2003 are presented, including experimental investigations into deformation properties; laboratory, in-situ and field observation interpretations; behaviour characterisation and modelling; and case histories. The contributions include recent investigations into anisotropy and non-linearity, the effects of stress-strain-time history, ageing and time effects, yielding, failure and flow, cyclic and dynamic behaviour. In addition, advanced geotechnical testing is applied to real engineering problems, and to ways of synthesising information from a range of sources while engaging in practical site characterisation studies.

Book excerpt: Soil Structure offers a multidisciplinary approach to the study of soil structure and its relevance to wide ranging investigations in environmental sciences. Topics covered in Soil Structure include soil structure determination, soil fabric genesis and functions, strength and stress distribution, fabric changes in plastic clays, the effects of organic matter and earthworms, air slaking, and hydraulic conductivity changes. The book also discusses litter decomposition and matter transport, the characterization of pore organization, monitoring via a neutron activated tracer, various influences on growth and phosphorus supply of plants and on water uptake by plants, the effects of acidification, and much more. Improved procedures for measuring and calculating the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity of structured soils are also given.
