Geotechnical Engineering Selective Topics
ByPublisher Description
This book is a bouquet of various advanced topics, all relate to the same field of Geotechnical Engineering, it comprises of five parts they are:
PART I Bearing Capacity of Caissons (Large Diameter Piles)
PART II Foundations under Tension (Anchors)
PART III Grouting of Rocks and Soils
PART IV Typical Values of Soil Parameters
PART V Multi Stage Trixial Testing
Part I, deals the analysis of bearing capacity of large diameter piles, they technically known as caissons. Of closed and open ended. The theoretical approach consist a vast applications of variety of theorems combined with tables and graphical solutions.
Part II, It is mostly dealing with determination of pullout capacity of foundations normally subjected to pullout forces, where the theoretical approach predicts the pullout capacity of the vertical anchors, this is usually applied to support high transmission of electricity, or to stable partially or fully submerged structures or pipe lines.
Part III, focuses on applied technique to improve troublesome soils and very weak rocks, technically named as Grouting, it is an engineering procedure to remedies foundations or dam embankments and ground cavities, by injecting soil base or chemical materials for purpose to strengthen or seal the soil media.
Part IV, contains very value technical information and data usually needed in the design of foundations for super structures, particularly during the initial stages of design.
Part V, this concerns with normally costly soil testing procedure called Triaxial Test. It requires the use of three undisturbed soil samples to perform the test, where this part discusses in depth how to use a single undisturbed soil sample to accomplish the same results.
