This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thougtit that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 31 (thesis year 1986) a total of 11 ,480 theses titles trom 24 Canadian and 182 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base tor these titles reported will greatly enhance the value ot this important annual reterence work. While Volume 31 reports theses submitted in 1986, on occasion, certain univer sities do re port theses submitted in previousyears but not reported at the time.

Download or read book Sustainable Slope Stabilisation using Recycled Plastic Pins written by Sahadat Hossain and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-06-14 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Landslides and slope failure are common in the US and rest of the world. The landslides cause significant damage to infrastructure and millions of dollars are required each year to fix the slope. A sustainable and costeffective option to stabilise the slope can have significant benefits, as it will reduce the cost of maintenance and when using recycled pins, it may help the environment at the same time. The recycled plastic pin is made from recycled plastic bottles and other plastic waste. Several demonstration projects already proved the effectiveness of RPP as an alternative option to fix slope failure, with a maximum failure depth of 7-8 ft. In this book, every detail of the slope stabilisation technique using recycled plastic pins, including the design techniques and several case studies, are included. This will help to explain the basics of this important technique and will be used as reference to design the slope stabilisation scheme using recycled plastic pins.

Download or read book Soil Strength and Slope Stability written by J. Michael Duncan and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-09-22 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive guide to the critical issue of slope stability and safety Soil Strength and Slope Stability, Second Edition presents the latest thinking and techniques in the assessment of natural and man-made slopes, and the factors that cause them to survive or crumble. Using clear, concise language and practical examples, the book explains the practical aspects of geotechnical engineering as applied to slopes and embankments. The new second edition includes a thorough discussion on the use of analysis software, providing the background to understand what the software is doing, along with several methods of manual analysis that allow readers to verify software results. The book also includes a new case study about Hurricane Katrina failures at 17th Street and London Avenue Canal, plus additional case studies that frame the principles and techniques described. Slope stability is a critical element of geotechnical engineering, involved in virtually every civil engineering project, especially highway development. Soil Strength and Slope Stability fills the gap in industry literature by providing practical information on the subject without including extraneous theory that may distract from the application. This balanced approach provides clear guidance for professionals in the field, while remaining comprehensive enough for use as a graduate-level text. Topics include: Mechanics of soil and limit equilibrium procedures Analyzing slope stability, rapid drawdown, and partial consolidation Safety, reliability, and stability analyses Reinforced slopes, stabilization, and repair The book also describes examples and causes of slope failure and stability conditions for analysis, and includes an appendix of slope stability charts. Given how vital slope stability is to public safety, a comprehensive resource for analysis and practical action is a valuable tool. Soil Strength and Slope Stability is the definitive guide to the subject, proving useful both in the classroom and in the field.
Download or read book Factors Affecting the Long Term Strength of Compacted Beaumont Clay written by Roger Green and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes results of an ongoing study of the stability of embankments constructed of highly plastic clays in Texas. Previous studies showed that such embankments failed by sliding many (10-30) years after construction and that the apparent shear strengths were substantially lower that the long-term shear strengths determined on the basis of laboratory tests on compacted specimens. This report presents the finding of several series of tests performed to understand better the reasons for the discrepancies between field and laboratory shear strengths. Triaxial shear tests were performed to measure the effective stress shear strength parameters on (a) undisturbed specimens taken from actual slopes which had failed, (b) specimens prepared by consolidating soil from a slurry in the laboratory, and (c) specimens prepared by packing (remolding) soil into a special mold in the laboratory. In addition, residual shear strengths were determined on conventional compacted specimens.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No presente trabalho, pretende-se avaliar os efeitos de ciclos de umedecimento e secagem na resistência ao cisalhamento do solo. Este estudo é de grande importância, particularmente, para os solos brasileiros, já que se encontram em uma região tropical, onde verifica-se aocorrência de períodos bem definidos de chuvas e estiagem. Sabe-se que, longos períodos de chuvas podem saturar o solo, assim como durante a estiagem, pode ocorrer uma maior evaporação do que infiltração de água, o que leva o solo a uma condição não saturada, provocando o surgimento de uma nova componente de resistência, a coesão aparente. Na natureza, estes dois períodos não ocorrem de maneira uniforme, fazendo com que o solo atinja valores de sucção diferentes, dependendo do seu umedecimento esecagem. Assim sendo, ciclos de umedecimento e secagem e o nível de sucção atingido correspondente, podem afetar o comportamento mecânico do solo. Afim de verificar a influência de tais ciclos de umedecimento e secagem, determinou-se a resistência ao cisalhamento do solo, por meio de ensaios de cisalhamento direto com sucçãocontrolada no equipamento desenvolvido na PUC-Rio. O umedecimento e a secagem do solo, foram simulados, em laboratório, através da diminuição e aumento da sucção, respectivamente. Utilizou-se o solo maduro do campo experimental II da PUC-Rio, peneirado e compactado em laboratório. Foram realizadas várias séries de ensaios, em que se modificavam os procedimentos realizados em relação aos níveis de sucção aplicados. A partir dos resultados obtidos, verificou-se a influência dos ciclos de umedecimento e secagem e dos níveis de sucçãoatingidos em cada caso, na resistência ao cisalhamento do solo, bem como na variação de volume total e de água nas amostras, durante o cisalhamento.
