Download or read book Theoretical Foundation Engineering written by B.M. Das and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theoretical Foundation Engineering provides up-to-date, state-of-the-art reviews of the existing literature on lateral earth pressure, sheet pile walls, ultimate bearing capacity of shallow foundations, holding capacity of plate and helical anchors in sand and clay, and slope stability analysis. The discussion of the ultimate bearing capacity of shallow foundations is the most comprehensive presentation on the subject to be found anywhere, and the review of earth anchors is unique to this book. In addition, each chapter includes several topics which have never appeared in any other book. The treatment is primarily theoretical and does not in any way compete with existing foundation design books. This is the only textbook of its kind. Not only will it be welcomed by teachers and first-year graduate students of geotechnical engineering, but it will be a useful reference for graduate students and consultants in the the field, as well as being a valuable addition to any civil engineering library.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is aimed at the practising engineer and engineering geologist working in tropical environments, where lands lides are mainly triggered by rain fall. This book is based on a similar work published in 1999 in Portuguese, which became the Rio de Janeiro Slope Manual. This book is an engineering guide for the design of slopes and stabilisation works in rocks and residual soils. It evolves from the cumulative experience gathered by several engineers and geologists who faced severe slope problems. The authors' experience throughout Central and South America (Costa Rica, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Venezuela) and the Far East, especially Hong Kong and Malaysia, was used as a foundation for writing this book. The work also benefits enormously from the time spent in Hong Kong in 1996 and 1997 by the first editor on sabbatical at the City University of Hong Kong, and the discussions he had with many colleagues from the Geotechnical Engineering Office (GEO) of the Hong Kong Government, especially Dr. A. Malone, Mr. w.K. Pun, Dr. A. Li, Mr. K. Ho, and Mr. y.c. Chan among others.

Download or read book Fundamentals of Foundation Engineering written by Chang-Yu Ou and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-09-18 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to introduce the principle and design of various foundations, covering shallow foundations, mat foundations, earth retaining structures, excavations, pile foundations, and slope stability. Since the analysis and design of a foundation are based on the soil properties under short-term (undrained) or long-term (drained) conditions, the assessment of soil properties from the geotechnical site investigation and the concept of drained or undrained soil properties are discussed in the first two chapters. Foundation elements transfer various load combinations from the superstructure to the underlying soils or rocks. The load transfer mechanisms, vertical stress or earth pressure distributions, and failure modes of each foundation type are clearly explained in this book. After understanding the soil responses subjected to the loadings from the foundation, the design methods, required factors of safety, and improvement measures for each foundation type are elaborated. This book presents both theoretical explication and practical applications for readers to easily comprehend the theoretical background, design methods, and practical applications and considerations. Each chapter provides relevant exercise examples and a problem set for self-practice. The analysis methods introduced in the book can be applied in actual analysis and design as they contain the most up-to-date knowledge of foundation design. This book is suitable for teachers and students to use in foundation engineering courses and engineers who are engaged in foundation design to create a technically sound, construction-feasible, and economical design of the foundation system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analysis, Design and Construction of Foundations outlines methods for analysis and design of the construction of shallow and deep foundations with particular reference to case studies in Hong Kong and China, as well as a discussion of the methods used in other countries. It introduces the main approaches used by geotechnical and structural engineers, and the precautions required for planning, design and construction of foundation structures. Some computational methods and computer programmes are reviewed to provide tools for performing a more realistic analysis of foundation systems. The authors examine in depth the methods used for constructing shallow foundations, deep foundations, excavation and lateral support systems, slope stability analysis and construction, and ground monitoring for proper site management. Some new and innovative foundation construction methods are also introduced. It is illustrated with case studies of failures and defects from actual construction projects. Some advanced and modern theories are also covered in this book. This book is more targeted towards the understanding of the basic behavior and the actual construction of many geotechnical works, and this book is not dedicated to any design code or specification, though Euro codes and Hong Kong code are also used in this book for illustration. It is ideal for consulting geotechnical engineers, undergraduate and postgraduate students.

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]
