Book Synopsis DESIGN OF EMBANKMENT WIDENING AND MECHANICALLY STABILIZED EARTH WALL by : Dr. Suresh Kommu & Dr. SS. Asadi
Download or read book DESIGN OF EMBANKMENT WIDENING AND MECHANICALLY STABILIZED EARTH WALL written by Dr. Suresh Kommu & Dr. SS. Asadi and published by Lulu Publication. This book was released on 2021-06-11 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The embankment is the most ancient form of civil engineering structures which refers to a volume of earthen material that is placed and compacted to raise the grade of a road way above the level of the existing surrounding ground surface. The design and performance of the embankment mainly depend upon the purpose of construction. In the in field of hydraulics, the embankment is designed for field control and seepage control in the field of transportation, the design of the embankment is concern about differential settlement due to external loads. Based on the type of material used for construction Embankment is classified into several categories like a reinforced embankment, earth fill, and rock fill embankment. In the roadway based on the requirement and design, the existing embankment is extended to serve the purpose.

Book Synopsis Graphical Determinations of Earth Slope, Retaining Walls and Dams by : Charles Prelini
Download or read book Graphical Determinations of Earth Slope, Retaining Walls and Dams written by Charles Prelini and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-06-08 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author states that this book ls intended for students and not for professional engineers, but the subject treated is one of deep interest to civil engineers as well. The stability of earth slopes is considered, in the first chapter, on the basis of the angle of natural slope due to the internal friction of the material, and also by including with the friction the cohesion of the soil which is found to exist in old well settled banks. The subject is treated both graphically and analytically. The slope of equal stability as affected by height of bank when cohesion is considered is then constructed, bringing out the steep top and flat bottom, which is characteristic of the natural earth slope. Comparisons are then made of the amounts of excavation per lin. ft. for a 50-ft. cut taken out to different uniform slopes, with those obtained for corresponding slopes of equal stability or equal safety and the saving in excavation shown. The pressure of earth against retaining walls is taken up graphically in Chapter II., using the method given by Rebhann. The treatment includes the irregular profile or surcharge, also the effect of cohesion for walls supporting firm undisturbed earth free from water and frost. The passive pressure or the resistance of earth to motion from the horizontal thrust of say an arch is also considered. The analytical method from Rebhann is developed in Chapter III., while the formulas of Rankine and Weyrauch are given without derivation. No account is taken of cohesion in this chapter. At the close of the chapter three tables are given showing the close numerical agreement between the three methods for heights of wall from 25 to 85 ft. for different batters and for different surcharges. The design of retaining walls is considered in Chapter IV. The method is extended to walls with buttresses and counterforts, the latter both with and without relieving arches, but it is not extended to reinforced-concrete construction. Masonry dams are briefly discussed in the last chapter. The stability of earth slopes and the earth pressure against retaining walls are well presented in the first three chapters. Attention is called to earth slopes as they actually occur and to the assumptions made by Rebhann in developing the methods used in finding the pressures against retaining walls. The chapter on the design of retaining walls would have been of greater value to the student or to the young practicing engineer if it had been put more in touch with actual practice by considering the effects of character of soil, drainage, frost, and even of foundations upon stability, as was done for earth slopes, and by a. few illustrations from practice. These applications would have been especially valuable in showing the application of theory to practice, an application which is questioned by many engineers. An extension of the chapter to reinforced-concrete retaining walls in connection with the European system of buttresses, counterforts and relieving arches would have greatly enhanced the value of the book, even if added at the expense of the chapter on dams. The treatment of masonry dams is brief, but a pretty good general idea is given of the methods of computing stability and of determining practical cross-sections with illustrations from European and American practice. The typography is excellent. -Engineering News, Volume 60 [1908]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive guide to the critical issue of slope stability and safety Soil Strength and Slope Stability, Second Edition presents the latest thinking and techniques in the assessment of natural and man-made slopes, and the factors that cause them to survive or crumble. Using clear, concise language and practical examples, the book explains the practical aspects of geotechnical engineering as applied to slopes and embankments. The new second edition includes a thorough discussion on the use of analysis software, providing the background to understand what the software is doing, along with several methods of manual analysis that allow readers to verify software results. The book also includes a new case study about Hurricane Katrina failures at 17th Street and London Avenue Canal, plus additional case studies that frame the principles and techniques described. Slope stability is a critical element of geotechnical engineering, involved in virtually every civil engineering project, especially highway development. Soil Strength and Slope Stability fills the gap in industry literature by providing practical information on the subject without including extraneous theory that may distract from the application. This balanced approach provides clear guidance for professionals in the field, while remaining comprehensive enough for use as a graduate-level text. Topics include: Mechanics of soil and limit equilibrium procedures Analyzing slope stability, rapid drawdown, and partial consolidation Safety, reliability, and stability analyses Reinforced slopes, stabilization, and repair The book also describes examples and causes of slope failure and stability conditions for analysis, and includes an appendix of slope stability charts. Given how vital slope stability is to public safety, a comprehensive resource for analysis and practical action is a valuable tool. Soil Strength and Slope Stability is the definitive guide to the subject, proving useful both in the classroom and in the field.

Book Synopsis A New Earth Reinforcement Method Using Soilbags by : Hajime Matsuoka
Download or read book A New Earth Reinforcement Method Using Soilbags written by Hajime Matsuoka and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2005-12-22 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soilbags are usually incorporated into temporary structures, rather than being used in conventional construction, as they have a tendency to deteriorate rapidly on prolonged exposure to sunlight. The amazing bearing capacity of soilbags has, however, inspired the development of an earth reinforcement method in which the bearing capacity of soft foundations is enhanced, reaching ten per cent of that of concrete. New methods have seen their projected durability as a semi-permanent material extend to in excess of fifty years, provided that direct exposure to sunlight and ultra-violet rays is avoided. This book covers the development, properties and characteristics of soilbags, as well as design features of structures built by this method. The geotechnical applications in, for example, railway ballast foundation reinforcement, retaining walls and embankment constructions are extensively described and richly illustrated by reference to case studies from Japan. The intention is to stimulate a wider, international adoption of the method in earth reinforcement and civil engineering construction, with particular reference to developing countries. Geotechnical and foundation engineers and other professionals working on earth reinforcement will find this a valuable work, while it will provide supplementary information to graduate students in soil mechanics and foundation engineering.
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 Advances in Reinforced Soil Structures by : Sanjay Kumar Shukla
Download or read book Advances in Reinforced Soil Structures written by Sanjay Kumar Shukla and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-11 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soil reinforcement is a very useful technique to construct several cost-effective soil structures in an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner. The most commonly used reinforcement materials are galvanised steel strips, geosynthetics in the form of woven geotextiles, geogrids and geocomposites, and fibres from natural and waste products. In recent years, there have been advances in the area of soil reinforcement, especially in the utilization of the technique in field projects. The researchers have also been working to understand the behaviour of reinforced soil considering the field challenges of reinforced soil structures. This edited volume contains contributions on advances in reinforced soil structures, mainly flexible pavements, footings, embankments, stone columns/piles, and slopes, as covered in the subject areas of geosynthetic engineering and fibre-reinforced soil engineering. The first paper by Ioannis N. Markou presents the details of sand-geotextile interaction based on interface tests with conventional and large-scale direct shear equipment. The second paper by Atef Ben Othmen and Mounir Bouassida examines the interface properties of geosynthetic reinforcement by carrying out inclined plane tests under low confinement adapted to landfill covers conditions. The third paper by J.N. Jha, S.K. Shukla, A.K. Choudhary, K.S. Gill1 and B.P. Verma deals with the triaxial compression behaviour of soil reinforced with steel and aluminium solid plates in horizontal layers. The fourth paper by M. Muthukumar and S.K. Shukla describes the swelling and shrinkage behaviour of expansive soil blended with lime and fibres. The fifth paper by S.G. Shah, A.C. Bhogayata and S.K. Shukla provides the test results of shear strength of cohesionless soil reinforced with metalized plastic waste. The sixth paper by Bouacha Nadjet compares the geotextile-reinforced and geogrid-reinforced flexible pavements based on numerical analyses. The seventh paper by S. Kumar, C.H. Solanki, J.B. Patel, P.B. Sudevan and P.M. Chaudhary reports the results of laboratory model tests carried out on a square footing resting on prestressed geotextile reinforced sand. The eighth paper by Sanoop G and Satyajit Patel presents the numerical studies on ground improvement using geosynthetic reinforced sand layer. The ninth paper by ------------------- discusses the bearing capacity prediction of inclined loaded strip footing on reinforced sand by ANN. The tenth paper by Mohamad B.D. Elsawy presents the numerical simulation of an embankment, constructed on reinforced soft soil with conventional stone piles. The eleventh paper by N.O. Sheta and R.P. Frizzi deals with the analysis, design, construction and monitoring of a geosynthetics-reinforced-earth pile-supported embankment serving as an access road. The twelfth paper by S. Banerjee, A. Adhikari, S. Chatterjee and D. Das provides the details of a case study on reinforced slope on soft soil for the approach of a major bridge. We do hope the researchers and the engineers may find the contributions in this volume very useful. This volume is part of the proceedings of the 1st GeoMEast International Congress and Exhibition on Sustainable Civil Infrastructures, Egypt 2017.
