Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes laboratory and field experiments conducted using discrete synthetic fibers to stabilize sands for expedient road construction. Unconfined compression tests were conducted as an index of material performance to identify the effects of fiber type, length, content, denier, and sand type on load-bearing capacity. Field sections consisting of 8-in. fiber-stabilized layers over a sand subgrade (SP) were constructed and trafficked to validate the laboratory results under actual field conditions. Experiment items were trafficked with 10,000 passes of a 41,600-lb 5-ton military truck. Test results showed that fiber-reinforced sand materials are capable of providing structural support to military traffic over sand subgrades. The results revealed optimum stabilization parameters, practical construction technique, and effective maintenance procedures. Design, construction, and maintenance guidance are provided for using fiber-reinforced materials to support substantial amounts of military traffic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes field experiments conducted using lightweight mats for expedient road construction over sands. Field sections were constructed and trafficked over a poorly graded sand (SP) subgrade. Experiment items were trafficked with 5,000 passes of a 41,600 lb, 5 ton military truck. Experiment results showed that an aluminum hexagonal mat, a plastic hexagonal mat, and a fiberglass reinforced mat are capable of providing structural support to military traffic over sand subgrades. An unreinforced and a reinforced plastic mesh mat were not capable of withstanding the applied traffic and are unsuitable for supporting substantial amounts of military traffic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the concluding decades of the twentieth century, the historic preservation community increasingly turned its attention to modern buildings, including bungalows from the 1930s, gas stations and diners from the 1940s, and office buildings and architectural homes from the 1950s. Conservation efforts, however, were often hampered by a lack of technical information about the products used in these structures, and to fill this gap Twentieth-Century Building Materials was developed by the U.S. Department of the Interior’s National Park Service and first published in 1995. Now, this invaluable guide is being reissued—with a new preface by the book’s original editor. With more than 250 illustrations, including a full-color photographic essay, the volume remains an indispensable reference on the history and conservation of modern building materials. Thirty-seven essays written by leading experts offer insights into the history, manufacturing processes, and uses of a wide range of materials, including glass block, aluminum, plywood, linoleum, and gypsum board. Readers will also learn about how these materials perform over time and discover valuable conservation and repair techniques. Bibliographies and sources for further research complete the volume. The book is intended for a wide range of conservation professionals including architects, engineers, conservators, and material scientists engaged in the conservation of modern buildings, as well as scholars in related disciplines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gain a stronger foundation with optimal ground improvement Before you break ground on a new structure, you need to analyze the structure of the ground. Expert analysis and optimization of the geo-materials on your site can mean the difference between a lasting structure and a school in a sinkhole. Sometimes problematic geology is expected because of the location, but other times it's only unearthed once construction has begun. You need to be able to quickly adapt your project plan to include an improvement to unfavorable ground before the project can safely continue. Principles and Practice of Ground Improvement is the only comprehensive, up-to-date compendium of solutions to this critical aspect of civil engineering. Dr. Jie Han, registered Professional Engineer and preeminent voice in geotechnical engineering, is the ultimate guide to the methods and best practices of ground improvement. Han walks you through various ground improvement solutions and provides theoretical and practical advice for determining which technique fits each situation. Follow examples to find solutions to complex problems Complete homework problems to tackle issues that present themselves in the field Study design procedures for each technique to simplify field implementation Brush up on modern ground improvement technologies to keep abreast of all available options Principles and Practice of Ground Improvement can be used as a textbook, and includes Powerpoint slides for instructors. It's also a handy field reference for contractors and installers who actually implement plans. There are many ground improvement solutions out there, but there is no single right answer to every situation. Principles and Practice of Ground Improvement will give you the information you need to analyze the problem, then design and implement the best possible solution.

Download or read book Contingency Airfield and Road Construction Using Geosynthetic Fiber Stabilization of Sands written by Steve L. Webster and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes laboratory and field tests conducted using a new fiber stabilization technique for sands. Laboratory unconfined compression tests using 2-in. long monofilament polypropylene fibers to stabilize a poorly graded (SP) sand showed an optimum fiber content of 1 percent (by weight). Field test sections were constructed and traffic tested using simulated C-130 aircraft traffic (30,000-lb tire load at 100-psi tire pressure) and military truck traffic (5-ton military cargo truck loaded to a gross weight of 41,600 lb). Test results showed that sand fiber stabilization over a sand subgrade supported over 1,000 passes of a C-130 tire load with less than 2 in. of rutting. The top 4 in. of the sand fiber layer was lightly stabilized with Road Oyl to provide a wearing surface. Based on limited truck traffic tests, an 8-in.-thick sand-fiber layer, surfaced with a spray application of Road Oyl, would support substantial amounts of military truck traffic.

This book was released on 2014-02-01 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mogao Grottoes, a World Heritage Site in northwestern China, are located along the ancient caravan routes—collectively known as the Silk Road—that once linked China with the West. Founded by a Buddhist monk in the late fourth century, Mogao flourished over the following millennium, as monks, local rulers, and travelers commissioned hundreds of cave temples cut into a mile-long rock cliff and adorned them with vibrant murals. More than 490 decorated grottoes remain, containing thousands of sculptures and some 45,000 square meters of wall paintings, making Mogao one of the world’s most significant sites of Buddhist art. In 1997 the Getty Conservation Institute, which had been working with the Dunhuang Academy since 1989, began a case study using the Late–Tang dynasty Cave 85 to develop a methodology that would stabilize the deteriorating wall paintings. This abundantly illustrated volume is the definitive report on the project, which was completed in 2010.

This book was released on 2014-08-29 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by an author with more than 25 years of field and academic experience, Soil Improvement and Ground Modification Methods explains ground improvement technologies for converting marginal soil into soil that will support all types of structures. Soil improvement is the alteration of any property of a soil to improve its engineering performance. Some sort of soil improvement must happen on every construction site. This combined with rapid urbanization and the industrial growth presents a huge dilemma to providing a solid structure at a competitive price. The perfect guide for new or practicing engineers, this reference covers projects involving soil stabilization and soil admixtures, including utilization of industrial waste and by-products, commercially available soil admixtures, conventional soil improvement techniques, and state-of-the-art testing methods. Conventional soil improvement techniques and state-of-the-art testing methods Methods for mitigating or removing the risk of liquefaction in the event of major vibrations Structural elements for stabilization of new or existing construction industrial waste/by-products, commercially available soil Innovative techniques for drainage, filtration, dewatering, stabilization of waste, and contaminant control and removal
