Download or read book Earth Pressure and Earth-Retaining Structures, Third Edition written by Chris R.I. Clayton and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2014-05-28 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effectively Calculate the Pressures of Soil When it comes to designing and constructing retaining structures that are safe and durable, understanding the interaction between soil and structure is at the foundation of it all. Laying down the groundwork for the non-specialists looking to gain an understanding of the background and issues surrounding geotechnical engineering, Earth Pressure and Earth-Retaining Structures, Third Edition introduces the mechanisms of earth pressure, and explains the design requirements for retaining structures. This text makes clear the uncertainty of parameter and partial factor issues that underpin recent codes. It then goes on to explain the principles of the geotechnical design of gravity walls, embedded walls, and composite structures. What’s New in the Third Edition: The first half of the book brings together and describes possible interactions between the ground and a retaining wall. It also includes materials that factor in available software packages dealing with seepage and slope instability, therefore providing a greater understanding of design issues and allowing readers to readily check computer output. The second part of the book begins by describing the background of Eurocode 7, and ends with detailed information about gravity walls, embedded walls, and composite walls. It also includes recent material on propped and braced excavations as well as work on soil nailing, anchored walls, and cofferdams. Previous chapters on the development of earth pressure theory and on graphical techniques have been moved to an appendix. Earth Pressure and Earth-Retaining Structures, Third Edition is written for practicing geotechnical, civil, and structural engineers and forms a reference for engineering geologists, geotechnical researchers, and undergraduate civil engineering students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proceedings of the 1990 Specialty Conference on Design and Performance of Earth-Retaining Structures, held in Ithaca, New York, June 18-21, 1990. Sponsored by the Geotechnical Engineering Division of ASCE. This Geotechnical Special Publication contains 50 papers on the design and performance of earth-retaining structures. Topics include historical perspectives, wall selection, contracting practices, waterfront structures, gravity walls, mechanically stabilized systems, cast-in-place walls, soil nailing, tied-back excavations, and seismic design. Papers survey the current state of the practice for earth retention and support, detail the rapid and profound changes to design and construction practices in the past 20 years, and forecast technological developments that are likely to carry the practice into the next century. Sixteen invited papers by international experts address aspects of each of the general topics, including trends in ground movements, effects of material selection and construction practices, and advances in design analyses and procedures. Other papers address specific case histories of various types of earth-retaining structures, provide results of performance monitoring, compare predicted to actual performance, and assess the impacts of construction practice and design procedures on performance.

Book Synopsis Development of a Comprehensive Database and Selection Model for Optimum Retaining Wall Construction, Cost and Production by : Fernando Pizarro Quintanar
Download or read book Development of a Comprehensive Database and Selection Model for Optimum Retaining Wall Construction, Cost and Production written by Fernando Pizarro Quintanar and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Retaining walls are earth retention structures that are essential in the majority of the construction projects for the overall project's engineering performance, as well as its budget and schedule. These elements constitute a key role in urban development, industrial facilities and civil projects as evidenced by the more than 170 million of square feet being constructed per year in the United States. The current market conditions, as well as the advances in the technology and knowledge associated to these elements, determine the need for accurate decision making processes that lead to optimum retaining walls in terms of applicability, cost and production rates. More than 50 types of retaining walls are currently available in the market, having each one of them further subdivisions depending on the materials and configurations being used. Thus, properly developed databases and decision models are highly important to make accurate selections. Each type of retaining wall present a unique set of advantages and disadvantages, construction processes, equipment and material needs as well as limitations. These particular features of each are identified and analyzed in order to determine those factors driving the selection of each type. Literature references in retaining wall design and construction are extensive and complete. However, no single source provides a comprehensive guideline for the analysis of the different types of retaining walls in order to make a comparative analysis that can lead to a selection decision. This lack of references is greater in regards to unit costs, production rates and construction issues mostly caused by the commercial implications of disclosing them. Specialized references consider field observation and record keeping as the most adequate approach to determine accurate costs and production rates. Previous studies have attempted to develop wall selection models that use previous experiences to determine the most appropriate retaining wall type for a specific set of needs and constraints. However, these references failed to include three key factors such as direction of construction, unit cost and production rates. The selection model developed in this research follows an Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA), based on a knowledge database and incorporating specific decision driving parameters for each wall type. Successful experiences in previous projects do not ensure proper outcomes in the future ones and therefore only a project specific analysis can provide the basis for the reduction of the risk associated with the wall selection. This research analyzes and present those considerations that determine the adequacy of each type of wall and the factors that affect their performance during and after construction. The results from the literature review, analysis of previous experiences, surveys and interviews to expert subjects are supplemented with field observations of heavy civil construction Projects in the DFW area to determine typical unit costs, production rates and construction issues. While the identified construction issues can serve as the base for the developments of specially tailored QA/QC programs, the unit costs and production rates can be used as a database for future preliminary studies and are built into the decision model developed in this research. The model is validated using four known walls as input in order to compare the solutions returned by the model against the real-world constructed ones in terms of wall type. Additionally, subject experts are used to further validate the accuracy of the model to replicate expert reasoning process. The data obtained during the different collection phases, as well as the analyses performed can serve as a starting point for future preliminary studies. The selection model developed ins this research can be used to determine the most adequate retaining wall for a specific set of constraints, where limited information is available.
