Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La nuova edizione di Fondazioni, aggiornata alle NTC2018 e divisa in due volumi, è una summa nata dall’esperienza di quarant’anni di lavoro e insegnamento che racchiude i fondamenti delle discipline dell’Ingegneria Civile, evitandone le frammentazioni e valorizzandone i collegamenti culturali. Rivolta ai professionisti del settore e agli studenti universitari e dei master, illustra le modellazioni e le applicazioni statiche e sismiche riguardanti le strutture e i terreni, soprattutto quelli interagenti con l’acqua, e analizza le oggettive modellazioni ‘perfette’ e le scelte dei parametri di progetto (vol. 1) che incidono sulle soggettive applicazioni ‘imperfette’, in modo da consentire un giudizio motivato di accettabilità dei risultati dei programmi di calcolo (vol. 2). Nel volume 2, Applicazioni, si analizza, in base alle azioni (EC1), la storia delle verifiche geotecniche (EC7) e sismiche (EC8) del c.a. (EC2) e delle murature (EC6) per confrontarne dettagliatamente i contributi e i limiti nelle evoluzioni delle normative. Tale studio delle radici culturali consente di fare valide scelte basate sulla critica dell’incidenza dei dati di input, specie per il predimensionamento e il controllo degli ordini di grandezza degli output. Attenzione specifica è dedicata agli interventi di consolidamento sull’esistente che richiedono un iter di verifiche diverso da quello delle nuove costruzioni, sia nelle indagini delle cause di dissesto sia nell’analisi retrogressiva.

Nel volume 1, Modellazioni, si analizzano i contributi e i limiti dei modelli rigido, elastico e plastico solidi e porosi, rispettivamente 'drenati' e 'non drenati', ponendoli a confronto con i dati di prove sui materiali sottoposti ad azioni statiche e sismiche di norma. Si approfondisce poi la storia del modo di valutare la distanza di sicurezza 'perfetto-imperfetto' passando dai criteri deterministici a quelli semiprobabilistici, ripercorrendo le norme passate per le verifiche sull’esistente fino alle NTC2018.

Download or read book Applied Geotechnics for Construction Projects Volume 2 written by Ammar Dhouib and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2022-12-21 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geotechnical engineering is now a fundamental component of construction projects. The second volume of this book addresses the fundamental principles of soil mechanics and the role of water in geotechnical projects and assessments. Applied Geotechnics for Construction Projects 2 outlines the hydraulic properties of soils and the basic concepts of water in soil, detailing the principles of permeability measurement tests and giving concrete test cases, and then goes on to outline the basic notions of soil mechanics as applied in geotechnics: from consolidation to short- and long-term notions via the swelling phenomena of clayey soils, soil shear strength and slope stability. The third chapter presents a comprehensive overview of geotechnical expertise using examples of concrete projects either with or without damage in the context of geotechnical construction works. Each chapter of this second volume provides concrete examples of applications to real projects and the rules and lessons we must remember. The result is a combination of geotechnical expertise and lessons learned from experience, both of which are highly valuable in the field of applied geotechnics for construction projects.

Book excerpt: Physical Modelling in Geotechnics collects more than 1500 pages of peer-reviewed papers written by researchers from over 30 countries, and presented at the 9th International Conference on Physical Modelling in Geotechnics 2018 (City, University of London, UK 17-20 July 2018). The ICPMG series has grown such that two volumes of proceedings were required to publish all contributions. The books represent a substantial body of work in four years. Physical Modelling in Geotechnics contains 230 papers, including eight keynote and themed lectures representing the state-of-the-art in physical modelling research in aspects as diverse as fundamental modelling including sensors, imaging, modelling techniques and scaling, onshore and offshore foundations, dams and embankments, retaining walls and deep excavations, ground improvement and environmental engineering, tunnels and geohazards including significant contributions in the area of seismic engineering. ISSMGE TC104 have identified areas for special attention including education in physical modelling and the promotion of physical modelling to industry. With this in mind there is a special themed paper on education, focusing on both undergraduate and postgraduate teaching as well as practicing geotechnical engineers. Physical modelling has entered a new era with the advent of exciting work on real time interfaces between physical and numerical modelling and the growth of facilities and expertise that enable development of so called ‘megafuges’ of 1000gtonne capacity or more; capable of modelling the largest and most complex of geotechnical challenges. Physical Modelling in Geotechnics will be of interest to professionals, engineers and academics interested or involved in geotechnics, geotechnical engineering and related areas. The 9th International Conference on Physical Modelling in Geotechnics was organised by the Multi Scale Geotechnical Engineering Research Centre at City, University of London under the auspices of Technical Committee 104 of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE). City, University of London, are pleased to host the prestigious international conference for the first time having initiated and hosted the first regional conference, Eurofuge, ten years ago in 2008. Quadrennial regional conferences in both Europe and Asia are now well established events giving doctoral researchers, in particular, the opportunity to attend an international conference in this rapidly evolving specialist area. This is volume 2 of a 2-volume set.
