This book was released on 1964 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1940 the Mississippi River Commission initiated a comprehensive study of under seepage and its control along the Lower Mississippi River levees. The purpose of this study was to provide data on the relation of soil conditions, geologic features, and underseepage and to improve methods for analyzing subsurface seepage. One phase of the investigation consisted of installation of piezometers at selected sites along the Lower Mississippi River to obtain data on the development of substratum hydrostatic pressures, and distances from the levee to the effective source of seepage entry. Analysis of piezometric data was based primarily on the 1950 high-water data.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The studies and data presented in this report are the result of the combined efforts of the Memphis, Vicksburg, and New Orleans Districts and the Waterways Experiment Station, under the general direction of the Mississippi River Commission. These studies have included a review and compilation of all underseepage reports made during and since the 1937 high water; exploration and geological studies of numerous sites where underseepage was a serious problem in 1937; installation of piezometers at selected sites to measure substratum pressures beneath and landward of levees; field pumping tests to determine the permeability of the sand aquifer at certain sites; theoretical, electrical- analogy, sand model, and prototype studies of relief wells, partial cutoffs, and landside berms for the control of underseepage; and observation and measurement of natural seepage at certain locations during the 1950 high water.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Federal Government through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has a large investment in flood-control levees. Where such levees are built on pervious foundations, seepage beneath the levee (underseepage) during floods can produce pressure and flow conditions capable of initiating subsurface erosion leading to levee failure. Two adverse phenomena may occur; one is sand boils which involves the movement of subsurface sand to the surface by flowing water, and the other is heaving which involves the upward movement of a relatively impervious surface layer resulting from subsurface water pressures in excess of its weight. To prevent such occurrences, the USACE has developed a set of procedures to analyze underseepage conditions on a site-specific basis and a set of procedures to design underseepage control measures. For the most part, these procedures were developed in the 194Os and 1950s. Intensive construction of control measures was accomplished in the 195Os and l96Os. Several moderately large and major floods have provided data from which the validity of the procedures and the security of the constructed system can be inferred. Also, since the 195Os many technical advancements have been made in engineering analysis techniques and construction methods that may merit application to underseepage problems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sponsored by the Geo-Institute of ASCE This collection of 78 historical papers provides a wide view of the rich body of literature that documents the development of fundamental concepts geotechnical engineering and their application to practical problems. From the highly theoretical to the elegantly practical, the papers in this one-of-a-kind collection are significant for their contributions to the geotechnical engineering literature. Among the writings of more than 60 geotechnical engineering pioneers are several by Karl Terzaghi, widely known as the father of soil mechanics, R.R. Proctor, Arthur Casagrande, and Ralph Peck. Many of these papers contain information as useful today as when they were first written. Others provide great insight into the origins and development of the field and the thought processes of its leaders.

Book excerpt: The 7th International Conference on Scour and Erosion (ICSE 2014) was organised by the School of Civil, Environmental and Mining Engineering and the Centre for Offshore Foundation Systems at the University of Western Australia under the guidance of the Technical Committee 213 for Scour and Erosion of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE). This biennial conference draws together leading academics, scientists and engineers engaged in scour and erosion research to present and exchange their latest scientific findings. These proceedings, together with the six previous proceedings dating from 2002, present a rare collection of technical and scientific developments in scour and erosion research which have been established over the last 12 years. This book includes state-of-the-art papers in scour and erosion from ICSE 2014, covering the 6 themes of: internal erosion, sediment transport, advanced numerical modelling of scour and erosion, terrestrial scour and erosion, river/bridge scour and erosion, and marine scour and erosion. The proceedings include 5 keynote lectures from world leading researches cutting across the themes of scour and erosion, together with 87 peer-reviewed papers from 19 countries. This book is ideal for researchers and industry working at the forefront of scour and erosion, both with application to rivers and marine operations.
