Download or read book Soil Nailing written by Raymond Cheung and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-03-12 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soil nailing is an in situ soil reinforcement technique that can be used to enhance the stability of slopes, retaining walls, embankments, and excavations. It involves installation of closely spaced, relatively slender unstressed tension-carrying structural elements into the ground to stabilize the soil mass. These elements, which are called soil nails, comprise steel or other engineering materials such as fiber reinforced polymer. Soil nailing did not gain popularity until the 1970s when engineers started to realize that the technique could offer an effective, robust, and economical reinforcing system for a variety of ground conditions. More importantly, the track record has been excellent in that no major collapses have been reported in properly designed and well-constructed soil nailed structures so far. Considerable experience and knowledge of the technique have been gained in the past few decades through systematic technical development work comprising laboratory tests, numerical modeling, physical modeling, site trials and field monitoring covering design, and construction practices. Soil Nailing: A Practical Guide consolidates the experience and advances made in the development and use of the soil nailing technique and encourages a wider adoption of the technique by practitioners. The book is intended for use by postgraduate students, researchers, and practicing civil and geotechnical engineers, who wish to have a more in-depth and fundamental understanding of the theory and practice behind the technique. It presents the basic principles of the technique as well as state-of-the-art knowledge and recommended standard of good practice in respect of design, construction, monitoring, and maintenance of soil nailed structures.

Download or read book Handbook of Geotechnical Investigation and Design Tables written by Burt G. Look and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2007-04-26 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This practical handbook of properties for soils and rock contains, in a concise tabular format, the key issues relevant to geotechnical investigations, assessments and designs in common practice. In addition, there are brief notes on the application of the tables. These data tables are compiled for experienced geotechnical professionals who require a reference document to access key information. There is an extensive database of correlations for different applications. The book should provide a useful bridge between soil and rock mechanics theory and its application to practical engineering solutions. The initial chapters deal with the planning of the geotechnical investigation, the classification of the soil and rock properties and some of the more used testing is then covered. Later chapters show the reliability and correlations that are used to convert that data in the interpretative and assessment phase of the project. The final chapters apply some of these concepts to geotechnical design. This book is intended primarily for practicing geotechnical engineers working in investigation, assessment and design, but should provide a useful supplement for postgraduate courses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective measurement of the composition and properties of petroleum is essential for its exploration, production, and refining; however, new technologies and methodologies are not adequately documented in much of the current literature. Analytical Methods in Petroleum Upstream Applications explores advances in the analytical methods and instrumentation that allow more accurate determination of the components, classes of compounds, properties, and features of petroleum and its fractions. Recognized experts explore a host of topics, including: A petroleum molecular composition continuity model as a context for other analytical measurements A modern modular sampling system for use in the lab or the process area to collect and control samples for subsequent analysis The importance of oil-in-water measurements and monitoring The chemical and physical properties of heavy oils, their fractions, and products from their upgrading Analytical measurements using gas chromatography and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) applications Asphaltene and heavy ends analysis Chemometrics and modeling approaches for understanding petroleum composition and properties to improve upstream, midstream, and downstream operations Due to the renaissance of gas and oil production in North America, interest has grown in analytical methods for a wide range of applications. The understanding provided in this text is designed to help chemists, geologists, and chemical and petroleum engineers make more accurate estimates of the crude value to specific refinery configurations, providing insight into optimum development and extraction schemes.

Download or read book Shored Mechanically Stabilized Earth (SMSE) Wall Systems Design Guidelines written by Kimberly Finke Morrison and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a Federal Highway Administration design reference for highway projects, this report was prepared to enable the engineer to identify and evaluate potential applications of shored mechanically stabilized earth (SMSE) walls. Included in this design guideline are a literature review on similar construction and the results and interpretation of field-scale testing, centrifuge modeling, and numerical modeling of an SMSE wall system. Results of the centrifuge modeling and field-scale testing show that reduction of the reinforcement length to as little as 25 percent of the wall height (0.25H) provides sufficient wall stability, even under a considerably high degree of surcharge loading. Using the results of the modeling and field testing research, this design guideline recommends a minimum reinforcement length equivalent to as little as 30 percent of the wall height (0.3H) for the MSE wall component, provided that the MSE reinforcement length is greater than 1.5 m. The benefit of attaching reinforcement to the shoring wall is found to be small and is generally not recommended except by way of the upper two layers of reinforcement. If possible, these layers of reinforcement should overlap the shoring wall and have a total length of 0.6H. If this is not possible, then these layers should be attached to the shoring wall. Internal design requirements of the MSE wall component for an SMSE wall system differ from that of a traditional MSE wall. Equations presented in this design guideline have been developed specifically to address these requirements. The benefits of increased retaining abilities provided by the shoring wall, such as reduction in lateral load acting on the MSE wall component and contribution to global stability, are considered in the design process.
