Book Unsaturated Soil Mechanics in Engineering Practice

Download or read book Unsaturated Soil Mechanics in Engineering Practice written by Delwyn G. Fredlund and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-07-24 with total page 946 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive guide to unsaturated soil— from the world's experts on the subject This book builds upon and substantially updates Fredlund and Rahardjo's publication, Soil Mechanics for Unsaturated Soils, the current standard in the field of unsaturated soils. It provides readers with more thorough coverage of the state of the art of unsaturated soil behavior and better reflects the manner in which practical unsaturated soil engineering problems are solved. Retaining the fundamental physics of unsaturated soil behavior presented in the earlier book, this new publication places greater emphasis on the importance of the "soil-water characteristic curve" in solving practical engineering problems, as well as the quantification of thermal and moisture boundary conditions based on the use of weather data. Topics covered include: Theory to Practice of Unsaturated Soil Mechanics Nature and Phase Properties of Unsaturated Soil State Variables for Unsaturated Soils Measurement and Estimation of State Variables Soil-Water Characteristic Curves for Unsaturated Soils Ground Surface Moisture Flux Boundary Conditions Theory of Water Flow through Unsaturated Soils Solving Saturated/Unsaturated Water Flow Problems Air Flow through Unsaturated Soils Heat Flow Analysis for Unsaturated Soils Shear Strength of Unsaturated Soils Shear Strength Applications in Plastic and Limit Equilibrium Stress-Deformation Analysis for Unsaturated Soils Solving Stress-Deformation Problems with Unsaturated Soils Compressibility and Pore Pressure Parameters Consolidation and Swelling Processes in Unsaturated Soils Unsaturated Soil Mechanics in Engineering Practice is essential reading for geotechnical engineers, civil engineers, and undergraduate- and graduate-level civil engineering students with a focus on soil mechanics.

Book In Situ Testing Methods in Geotechnical Engineering

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.

Book Geotechnical Engineering Selective Topics

Download or read book Geotechnical Engineering Selective Topics written by Prof. and published by eBookIt.com. This book was released on 2017-12-29 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a bouquet of various advanced topics, all relate to the same field of Geotechnical Engineering, it comprises of five parts they are:PART I Bearing Capacity of Caissons (Large Diameter Piles)PART II Foundations under Tension (Anchors)PART III Grouting of Rocks and Soils PART IV Typical Values of Soil ParametersPART V Multi Stage Trixial TestingPart I, deals the analysis of bearing capacity of large diameter piles, they technically known as caissons. Of closed and open ended. The theoretical approach consist a vast applications of variety of theorems combined with tables and graphical solutions.Part II, It is mostly dealing with determination of pullout capacity of foundations normally subjected to pullout forces, where the theoretical approach predicts the pullout capacity of the vertical anchors, this is usually applied to support high transmission of electricity, or to stable partially or fully submerged structures or pipe lines. Part III, focuses on applied technique to improve troublesome soils and very weak rocks, technically named as Grouting, it is an engineering procedure to remedies foundations or dam embankments and ground cavities, by injecting soil base or chemical materials for purpose to strengthen or seal the soil media.Part IV, contains very value technical information and data usually needed in the design of foundations for super structures, particularly during the initial stages of design.Part V, this concerns with normally costly soil testing procedure called Triaxial Test. It requires the use of three undisturbed soil samples to perform the test, where this part discusses in depth how to use a single undisturbed soil sample to accomplish the same results.

Book Geotechnical Engineering in Residual Soils

Download or read book Geotechnical Engineering in Residual Soils written by Laurence D. Wesley and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-08-05 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wiley has long held a pre-eminent position as a publisher of books on geotechnical engineering, with a particular strength in soil behavior and soil mechanics, at both the academic and professional level. This reference will be the first book focused entirely on the unique engineering properties of residual soil. Given the predominance of residual soils in the under-developed parts of the United States and the Southern Hemisphere, and the increasing rate of new construction in these regions, the understanding of residual soils is expected to increase in importance in the coming years. This book will be written for the practicing geotechnical engineer working to any degree with residual soils. It will describe the unique properties of residual soil and provide innovative design techniques for building on it safely.The author will draw on his 30 years of practical experience as a practicing geotechnical engineer, imbuing the work with real world examples and practice problems influenced by his work in South America and Southeast Asia.
