Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume change characteristics and the dynamic stress-strain properties of dry sand subjected to cyclic shear strains have been investigated and used to check the applicability of a simple method for predicting the vertical settlements due to compaction in layers of dry cohesionless soils subjected to seismic loading conditions. Dynamic testing of a medium quartz sand, performed by repeated load simple shear equipment, indicated that the shear modulus increased slightly with increasing numbers of cycles and with increasing relative density and decreases significantly with increasing values of shear strain amplitude. Modulus values determined near the upper limit of shear strain amplitude that might be expected to be induced by seismic shaking (0.1 percent) were as much as 40 percent lower than modulus values obtained at the lowest values of shear strain that were investigated (0.01 percent).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by a leader on the subject, Introduction to Geotechnical Engineering is first introductory geotechnical engineering textbook to cover both saturated and unsaturated soil mechanics. Destined to become the next leading text in the field, this book presents a new approach to teaching the subject, based on fundamentals of unsaturated soils, and extending the description of applications of soil mechanics to a wide variety of topics. This groundbreaking work features a number of topics typically left out of undergraduate geotechnical courses.

Download or read book Deformation Characteristics of Geomaterials written by C.-K. Chung and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 1382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the international edition of the proceedings of IS-Seoul 2011, the Fifth International Symposium on Deformation Characteristics of Geomaterials, held in Seoul, South Korea, in September 2011.The book includes 7 invited lectures, as well as 158 technical papers selected from the 182 submitted. The symposium explored ideas about the complex load-deformation response in geomaterials, including laboratory methods for small and large strains; anisotropy and localization; time-dependent responses in soils; characteristics of treated, unsaturated, and natural geomaterials; applications in field methods; evaluation of field performance in geotechnical structures; and physical and numerical modeling in geomechanics. These topics were grouped under a number of main themes, including experimental investigations from very small strains to beyond failure; behavior, characterization and modeling of various geomaterials; and practical prediction and interpretation of ground response: field observation and case histories. Both the symposium and this book represent an important contribution to the exchange of advanced knowledge and ideas in geotechnical engineering and promote partnership among participants worldwide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new hybrid resonant column/torsional shear apparatus has been developed, which permits the determination of dynamic soil properties on a single solid or hollow cylinder specimen over the entire range of shear strain amplitudes of engineering interest, that is, from 10-4 to 10%. The main characteristics of both the resonant column and torsional shear tests are presented with emphasis on those factors that influenced the design of the new apparatus. The new apparatus is described in detail, and representative test results to demonstrate its capabilities are presented.

Download or read book Deformation Characteristics of Geomaterials written by H. DiBenedetto and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2005-03-03 with total page 260 pages. 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.

Download or read book Development of New Empirical Correlations of Sand written by Sooriya Narayanan Perumal and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2018-06-14 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Direct shear test is commonly used for research and geotechnical engineering design due to its simplicity and cost effectiveness. However, analysis of many geotechnical structures such as earth pressure and slope stability problems require measurement of shear strength properties of cohesionless soils. Therefore, it is usually relied on empirical relationships like correlation to predict soil properties from direct shear test. One of the key issues in both the execution and design stage is to ensure stability of buildings especially when unfavorable soil conditions are present. Hence, accurate information regarding geotechnical parameters are required for establishing the correlations.The purpose for field and laboratory tests is to provide the needed data for optimal design process of soil constructions, foundation systems calculation, bearing capacity calculation, tunneling and slope stability analysis. A complete characterization detailing the intricate and complex response of soils remains a challenging task that can only be realized through careful drilling and sampling program coupled with detailed laboratory testing.

Download or read book The Delft Sand Clay and Rock Cutting Model written by S.A. Miedema and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2014-10-29 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sand, clay and rock have to be excavated for a variety of purposes, such as dredging, trenching, mining (including deep sea mining), drilling, tunnel boring and many other applications. Many excavations take place on dry land, but they are also frequently required in completely saturated conditions, and the methods necessary to accomplish them consequently vary widely. This book provides an overview of cutting theories. It begins with a generic model, valid for all types of soil (sand, clay and rock), and continues with the specifics of dry sand, water-saturated sand, clay, atmospheric rock and hyperbaric rock. Small blade angles and large blade angles are discussed for each soil type, and for each case considered the equations/model for cutting forces, power and specific energy are given. With models verified by laboratory research, principally from the Delft University of Technology, and data from other recognized sources, this book will prove an invaluable reference for anybody whose work involves major excavations of any kind.
