Book Synopsis Bioengineering Case Studies by : Wendi Goldsmith
Download or read book Bioengineering Case Studies written by Wendi Goldsmith and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Bio-Stabilization Case Studies: Treatment and Performance Evaluation" describes and evaluates 30 projects from across the United States where bio-stabilization was employed to address a detrimental naturally occurring process or byproduct of the built environment. Bio-stabilization (or soil bioengineering) refers to the use of plant materials, primarily live cuttings, arranged in the ground in different arrays to reinforce soils and protect upland slopes and/or stream banks against surficial erosion and shallow slope failures. Examples included in the collection represent different regions of the country and their specific conditions and challenges. Each project is illustrated with a number of distinctive photographs to support the reader's understanding and showcase the wide scope of projects and techniques presented. The volume is ideal for civil and environmental engineers and environmental scientists working on watershed, infrastructure projects, and municipal scale installations.
Book Synopsis Ground Improvement by : Professor Jian Chu
Download or read book Ground Improvement written by Professor Jian Chu and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2005-11-07 with total page 1137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: - The first book of its kind, providing over thirty real-life case studies of ground improvement projects selected by the worlds top experts in ground improvement from around the globe. - Volume 3 of the highly regarded Elsevier Geo-engineering book series coordinated by the Series Editor: Professor John A Hudson FREng. - An extremely reader friendly chapter format. - Discusses wider economical and environmental issues facing scientists in the ground improvement.Ground improvement has been both a science and art, with significant developments observed through ancient history. From the use of straw as blended infill with soils for additional strength during the ancient Roman civilizations, and the use of elephants for compaction of earth dams during the early Asian civilizations, the concepts of reinforced earth with geosynthetics, use of electrokinetics and thermal modifications of soils have come a long way. The use of large and stiff stone columns and subsequent sand drains in the past has now been replaced by quicker to install and more effective prefabricated vertical drains, which have also eliminated the need for more expensive soil improvement methods.The early selection and application of the most appropriate ground improvement techniques can improve considerably not only the design and performance of foundations and earth structures, including embankments, cut slopes, roads, railways and tailings dams, but also result in their cost-effectiveness. Ground improvement works have become increasingly challenging when more and more problematic soils and marginal land have to be utilized for infrastructure development.This edited compilation contains a collection of Chapters from invited experts in various areas of ground improvement, who have illustrated the basic concepts and the applications of different ground improvement techniques using real projects that they have been involved in. The case histories from many countries ranging from Asia, America, Australia and Europe are addressed.

Book Synopsis Water Bioengineering Techniques by : H. M. Schiechtl
Download or read book Water Bioengineering Techniques written by H. M. Schiechtl and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 1997-01-30 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water and ground bioengineering techniques combine the expertise of civil engineers, landscape architects, botanists and ecologists, and increasingly are being used to protect and restore the natural environment. This practical handbook shows how vegetation can be used for the protection, stabilisation and ecological enhancement of riverbanks and shores. It covers a range of techniques from wholly vegetative 'soft' techniques to 'semi-hard' or composite structures with vegetative inclusions. A chapter on bioengineering techniques in earth dam and floodbank construction is also included. Together with its companion book, Ground Bioengineering Techniques, this handbook on water bioengineering provides a rare opportunity to gain insight into the approach of its chief proponents--Professor H.M. Schiechtl and his colleague, Dr R. Stern--in the use of vegetation for the engineering and ecological and visual enhancement of waterways and shorelines. Water Bioengineering Techniques will be of interest to geotechnical engineers, botanists, ecologists and to those concerned with landscape planning, land and catchment management.

Book Synopsis Dictionary of Soil Bioengineering by : Matthias Oplatka
Download or read book Dictionary of Soil Bioengineering written by Matthias Oplatka and published by vdf Hochschulverlag AG. This book was released on 1996 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ingenieurbiologie versteht sich als biologisch ausgerichtete Ingenieurtechnik im Erd- und Wasserbau. Ihr Ziel ist die Sicherung erosionsgefährdeter Gesteins- und Bodenschichten mit einer schützenden und festigenden Pflanzendecke. Der Begriff "Ingenieurbiologie" deckt sich ganz oder teilweise mit Umschreibungen wie "lebende Verbauung", "Lebendverbau", "Grünverbau", "biologische Verbauung" oder "naturnaher Wasserbau". Ingenieurbiologische Bauwerke sind in vielen Fällen Alternativen zu "harten" Verbauungen, gewinnen aber im Gegensatz zu diesen mit zunehmendem Alter an Leistungsfähigkeit, indem sie sich zu höheren Pflanzengesellschaften weiterentwickeln. Damit leisten sie einen wesentlichen ökologischen Beitrag. Das viersprachige Wörterbuch dient Planern und Praktikern als Hilfsmittel, um die bereits bestehende internationale Zusammenarbeit zu festigen. Soil bioengineering is a biologically orientated engineering technique in earth and water construction. The aim is the stabilisation of erosive soil- and rocklayers by a protecting coverage of vegetation. In many cases soil bioengineering constructions are alternatives to "hard" constructions. Contrary to hard constructions, soil bioengineering constructions become more resistant with increasing age, because they develop to higher plant communities. At the global conference on sustainable development and environment protection in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, soil bioengineering was recommended as a technology that supports sustainable use ot natural resources. This technology should be advanced in the industrialised countries, on the one hand, and be specifically employed in such developing countries that suffer greatly from erosion, on the other.
