Book Synopsis Ground and Soil Improvement by : Chris Raison
Download or read book Ground and Soil Improvement written by Chris Raison and published by Thomas Telford. This book was released on 2004-03-07 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Methods for improving ground and soil have undergone significant developments in recent years, particularly in terms of application and usage, and many innovative techniques have been introduced. However, it is of significance that in many areas the design process still lacks a theoretical framework. The papers included in this volume, written by international authors, deal with a cross-section of problems faced by many practising engineers and provide advice and guidance on how these problems can be dealt with in a practical manner.
Book Synopsis Geosynthetic Encased Columns for Soft Soil Improvement by : Márcio Almeida
Download or read book Geosynthetic Encased Columns for Soft Soil Improvement written by Márcio Almeida and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-10-10 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The geosynthetic encased column (GEC) is a relatively recent method developed for soft soil improvement. The method was firstly introduced as a concept in the 1980s and first practical applications started in the 1990s. GECs have been widely used in some parts of the world for the last three decades. However, there is no book in the literature summarizing the knowledge accumulated during this period in relation to this soft ground improvement technique. The purpose of this book is to provide readers with the GEC fundamentals and practical applications. Chapter 1 presents the general principles of this ground improvement technique including the methods used for GEC installation and how the material properties may be selected. Chapter 2 presents the design methods, thus settlement calculations by means of analytical methods and stability calculations by limit equilibrium methods are explained in detail. Chapter 3 presents calculation examples illustrating the usual steps to be done for both service limit state and ultimate limit state designs. Then field performances exemplifying practical applications of the GEC technique are presented in Chapter 4 for some case histories. Following numerical analyses, often used in design to complement analytical methods, are presented in Chapter 5. Annexes I and II at the end contain the charts developed to perform settlement calculations. The book combines the experiences of four authors with different academic and industry backgrounds to describe GEC design and performance. It is aimed at civil engineers in general, particularly geotechnical engineers, either working in design or in practice, at graduate students, and at senior undergraduate students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Construction on soft clay deposits poses challenges to geotechnical engineers due to low shear strength, high compressibility, and complex dynamic response. The main soil improvement technique used in practice requires the placement of a surcharge load in conjunction with vertical drains, which is time consuming, requires transporting significant amount of surcharge material, and can only be used in onshore applications. As an alternative, this study investigates the improvement of soft clays using in-situ heating with geothermal heat exchangers. Heating of soft clays leads to differential expansion of the pore water and soil solids, causing pressurization and drainage of the pore water resulting in permanent volumetric contraction. While the impact of temperature on soft soils has been widely investigated, a key missing piece of information is the effect of initial mean effective stress of the soft clay on thermal volume change and corresponding increase in undrained shear strength. To address this limitation, the overall objective of this study is to understand the effects of subjecting saturated normally consolidated clays with different initial mean effective stresses to drained heating. Innovative testing approaches include glass thermal triaxial tests which permits use of image analysis to track thermal volume changes, and a thermal triaxial cell with embedded bender elements to measure the shear wave velocity of clay specimens. The magnitude of thermal volumetric strain increased with increasing initial mean effective stress, which is a departure from expected trends in established constitutive models. A corresponding increase in undrained shear strength with both temperature and initial mean effective stress was observed. Further, an increase in the shear wave velocity was observed during heating and no significant change was observed during cooling, indicating permanent hardening of the clay. Experimental results were useful in calibrating a new constitutive model for the thermal volume change of normally consolidated clays, which was implemented into numerical simulations of heat transfer and water flow around a vertical drain containing a geothermal heat exchanger. Overall, this study provides the technology behind an exciting new thermal soil improvement technique that can have positive long-term energy savings for civil infrastructure in soft soil regions.
