Book Synopsis The Geotechnics of Real Materials: The &egr;g&egr;k Method by : E.T. Hanrahan
Download or read book The Geotechnics of Real Materials: The &egr;g&egr;k Method written by E.T. Hanrahan and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a simple new approach to the problems of pressure and deformation associated with real materials. It introduces parameters used to provide original solutions to a wide range of problems. These include: pressure on silo walls and retaining walls (flexible and rigid), trench sheeting, shafts, pipes and tunnels; and settlements of foundations, roads, and embankments. The parameters are readily measured in standard triaxial apparatus, and are combined to provide a stress-strain-time relationship for the soil for specific drainage and boundary conditions.The first part of the book introduces topics relevant to the second part, i.e. standard geotechnical properties, soil testing, stress problems, earth pressure, flow in permeable media, and classical models such as elasticity and plasticity. In the second part, the parameters are defined and details given on their application to specified boundary conditions, with corrections for variations of stress, dimensions and loading rates. Examples and case histories demonstrate the versatility and validity of the method.No prior knowledge of geotechnics is assumed. The book will be suitable for students at any level in geotechnics and engineering geology. The emphasis on measured instead of idealised behaviour will appeal to practising engineers who will find in this book simple solutions to some of the most intractable problems in geotechnics.
Download or read book Creep of Soils written by J. Feda and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1992-06-25 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, soil creep is analysed within the framework of other soil-rheological phenomena, such as stress relaxation and long-term resistance, to present an in-depth discussion of the effect of time on soil behaviour. As time is the only state parameter which cannot be entirely modelled in the laboratory, the presented extrapolation is based upon a combination of appropriate theoretical analysis, and the principles of the physical behaviour of soils affected by state parameters such as porosity, water content, stress, strain, time and temperature. Principal macro- and microrheological theories are analysed, and a comprehensive picture of the soil structure and of the effect of state parameters is presented, documented by the author's experiments and illustrated by many examples. The theory of hereditary creep was selected as the best theory serving the author's purpose to propose simple constitutive relations governing creep of soils. The proposed constitutive relations have been implemented into FEM programs and the effect of the time factor has been demonstrated by the solution of such boundary value problems as a dams and underground tunnels. This volume should be of interest to civil engineers, scientists, research and postgraduate students, and advanced undergraduates.

Book Synopsis Stresses and Displacements for Shallow Foundations by : D. Milovic
Download or read book Stresses and Displacements for Shallow Foundations written by D. Milovic and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 1992 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph presents the results of the theoretical analyses of stresses and displacements for shallow foundations subjected to various types of loads. In these analyses not only the classical models but more complex models of soils have been used, such as two-layer half-space, homogenous compressible layer of finite thickness, two-layer compressible layer of finite thickness, anisotropic compressible layer. Contact stresses, settlements, vertical stress distribution, bending moments and shear forces have been determined for foundations of any rigidity. Numerous values of the dimensionless coefficients "I" are tabulated, which can be of use in the solution of practical engineering problems.

Book Synopsis Soil Settlement Effects on Buildings by : Endre Dulácska
Download or read book Soil Settlement Effects on Buildings written by Endre Dulácska and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1992 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The static behaviour of buildings is considerably influenced by the interaction between soil, foundation and construction. This book provides assistance in determining the deformations caused by the building and by other imposed loads. Approximate methods for hand calculation as well as more exact mathematical methods for computation are presented. Three PC programmes are also shown. In Section 1 the importance of interaction between subsoil and construction, together with relevant theories, is reviewed, accompanied with a long list of pertinent literature. Section 2 reminds the reader about soil mechanics and introduces information about the determination of ground surface movements occurring in nature without the effect of a superimposed structure. Section 3 deals with the rigidity of buildings, their adaptive capacity to deformations, and peruses questions about safety of buildings. In Section 4 computerized calculation methods are presented. In Section 5 approximative calculation methods are recommended for practice. Case histories are described in Section 6. Various guiding tables and three computer programs are presented in Section 7.Each section is designed so as to be capable of use independently. The book is intended for structural engineers.

Book Synopsis The Material Point Method for Geotechnical Engineering by : James Fern
Download or read book The Material Point Method for Geotechnical Engineering written by James Fern and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-01-30 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This practical guide provides the best introduction to large deformation material point method (MPM) simulations for geotechnical engineering. It provides the basic theory, discusses the different numerical features used in large deformation simulations, and presents a number of applications -- providing references, examples and guidance when using MPM for practical applications. MPM covers problems in static and dynamic situations within a common framework. It also opens new frontiers in geotechnical modelling and numerical analysis. It represents a powerful tool for exploring large deformation behaviours of soils, structures and fluids, and their interactions, such as internal and external erosion, and post-liquefaction analysis; for instance the post-failure liquid-like behaviours of landslides, penetration problems such as CPT and pile installation, and scouring problems related to underwater pipelines. In the recent years, MPM has developed enough for its practical use in industry, apart from the increasing interest in the academic world.
Book Synopsis Geotechnics of Roads: Advanced Analysis and Modeling by : Bernardo Caicedo
Download or read book Geotechnics of Roads: Advanced Analysis and Modeling written by Bernardo Caicedo and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-03-11 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At first glance, roads seem like the simplest possible geotechnical structures. However, analysis of these structures runs up against complexities related to the intense stresses experienced by road surfaces, their intense interaction with climate, and the complicated behavior of the materials used in road construction. Modern mechanistic approaches to road design provide the tools capable of developing new technical solutions. However, use of these approaches requires deep understanding of the behavior of constituent materials and their interaction with water and heat which has recently been acquired thanks to advances in geotechnical engineering. The author comprehensively describes and explains these advances and their use in road engineering in the two-volume set Geotechnics of Roads, compiling information that had hitherto only been available in numerous research papers. Geotechnics of Roads: Advanced Analysis and Modeling develops 23 extended examples that cover most of the theoretical aspects presented in the book Geotechnics of Roads: Fundamentals. Moreover, for most examples, Volume 2 describes algorithms for solving complex problems and provides Matlab® scripts for their solution. Consequently, Volume 2 is a natural complement of the book Geotechnics of Roads: Fundamentals. This unique book will be of value to civil, structural and geotechnical engineers worldwide.
