Selected Geotechnical Papers of James K. Mitchell
Sponsored by the Geo-Institute of ASCE. This collections contains 35 key papers by James K. Mitchell during his extraordinary career as a geotechnical engineer.Ø In addition to teaching, Mitchell's career encompassed geotechnical projects ranging from research on hazardous waste landfill stability at Kettleman Hills in California, to lunar soil analysis for NASA Apollo Missions, to working with the Mayor of San Francisco following the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake. He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering and the National Academy of Science. Topics include: experimental and analytic studies of soil behavior related to geotechnical and geo-environmental problems; soil improvement and ground reinforcement, physicochemical phenomena in soils, the stress-strain time behavior of soils, in situ measurement of soil properties, and mitigation of ground failure risk during earthquakes. ASCE's Engineering Classics series presents selected papers of lasting importance by eminent engineers who have made outstanding contributions to their field.
Engineering Treatment of Soils
This book reviews the techniques used to improve the engineering behaviour of soils, either in situ or when they are used as a construction material. It is a straightforward, well illustrated and readable account of the techniques and includes numerous up-to-date references.
Construction Review
Issues for 1955 accompanied by supplement: Construction volume and costs, 1915-1954.
Engineering and Design
Provisions for the design of sheet pile cellular cofferdams are set forth in ER 1110-2-2901. This manual is intended to provide guidance for the design of these structures. Geotechnical considerations, analysis and design procedures, construction considerations, and instrumentation are discussed. Special emphasis is placed on all aspects of cellular cofferdams, such as planning, hydraulic considerations, and layout.
