Innovative Design and Construction for Foundations and Substructures Subject to Freezing and Frost
GSP 73 contains four papers presented at a session on foundations and substructures in cold regions at the ASCE National Convention, held in Minneapolis, Minnesota, October 5-8, 1997.
The Pressuremeter
This classic title deals presents all one needs to know about pressuremeter test, a soil and rock test used in civil engineering. It consists of placing a cylindrical probe in the ground and expanding the probe to pressurize the soil or the rock horizontally. The pressure on the soil and the relative increase in cavity radius are obtained and give an in situ stress strain curve. The pressuremeter test is repeated at various depths in order to obtain profiles of soil parameters. The design applications of the preboring pressuremeter test include: shallow foundations under vertical loads, deep foundations under vertical and horizontal loads, ground anchors, cantilever drilled shaft walls and anchored bulkheads, pavements, stone columns, ground improvement and compaction control.
So Your Home is Built on Expansive Soils
So Your Home is Built on Expansive Soils: A Discussion on How Expansive Soils Affect Buildings, Second Edition, is written for the layperson in clear, easy-to-understand terms to assist homeowners in understanding why some soils and conditions lead to problematic shrinking and swelling. Both the nature of the soil behavior and how buildings respond are addressed. This comprehensively updated report discusses the difference between cosmetic damage and structural damage resulting from soil shrinkage or heave movement and provides information on both prevention and mitigation of damage
Jacked Tunnel Design and Construction
With the new Central Artery Project in Boston, tunnel jacking--a technique used primarily in Europe and Asia for constructing underground openings without surface disruption--has come to the US on a grand scale. Three illustrated October 1998 session papers detail developments in tunnel jacking design and above-ground movement monitoring. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Scour and Erosion
Scour and Erosion includes four keynote lectures from world leading researchers cutting across the themes of scour and erosion, together with 132 peer-reviewed papers from 34 countries, covering the principal themes of: - internal erosion - sediment transport - grain scale to continuum scale - advanced numerical modelling of scour and erosion - terrestrial scour and erosion- river and estuarine erosion including scour around structures, and - management of scour/erosion and sediment, including hazard management and sedimentation in dams and reservoirs. Scour and Erosion is ideal for researchers and industry working at the forefront of scour and erosion, and has applications in both the freshwater and marine environments.
Geocells
This book is designed to serve as a comprehensive resource on cellular confinement systems or geocells, covering technologies and their applications in geotechnical engineering. The book discusses all aspects of geocells and related technologies, and covers the subjects from conceptual basics to recent advances. The chapters of this book are written by renowned international experts and its contents include detailed case studies from both academic and industry experts. This book is a one-stop reference work for academicians, students, and practicing engineers in the global geotechnical community.
Geological and Geotechnical Engineering in the New Millennium
The field of geoengineering is at a crossroads where the path to high-tech solutions meets the path to expanding applications of geotechnology. In this report, the term "geoengineering" includes all types of engineering that deal with Earth materials, such as geotechnical engineering, geological engineering, hydrological engineering, and Earth-related parts of petroleum engineering and mining engineering. The rapid expansion of nanotechnology, biotechnology, and information technology begs the question of how these new approaches might come to play in developing better solutions for geotechnological problems. This report presents a vision for the future of geotechnology aimed at National Sci...
