Opis: Geomechanics in Soil, Rock, and Environmental Engineering - John Small

Utilizes both Computer- and Hand-Based Calculations...Modern practice in geomechanics is becoming increasingly reliant on computer-based software, much of which can be obtained through the Internet. In Geomechanics in Soil, Rock, and Environmental Engineering the application of these numerical techniques is examined not only for soil mechanics, but also for rock mechanics and environmental applications...For Use in Complex Analysis It deals with the modern analysis of shallow foundations, deep foundations, retaining structures, and excavation and tunneling. In recent years, the environment has become more and more important, and so it also deals with municipal and mining waste and solutions for the disposal and containment of the waste. Many fresh solutions to problems are presented to enable more accurate and advanced designs to be carried out. A Practical Reference for Industry Professionals, This Illuminating Book: * Offers a broad range of coverage in soil mechanics, rock mechanics, and environmental engineering * Incorporates the author's more than 40 years of academic and practical design experience * Describes the latest applications that have emerged in the last ten years * Supplies references readily available online for futher research Geomechanics in Soil, Rock, and Environmental Engineering should appeal to students in their final undergraduate course in geomechanics or master's students, and should also serve as a useful reference to practitioners in the field of geomechanics, reflecting the author's background in both industry and academia. "... covers some topics which are not to be found in other texts, for example, the design of working platforms, foundations on fissured soils, and the material on excavation analysis including groundwater... suitable for more advanced undergraduate courses and post-graduate courses in geotechnical engineering." -Harry Poulos, Senior Consultant, Coffey InternationalBasic Concepts Basic Definitions Soil Tests Direct Shear Tests Consolidation Tests Permeability Finite Layer Methods Approximation of Fourier Coefficients Formulation Solution Procedure Three-Dimensional Problems Consolidation Problems Fourier Transforms Examples Finite Element Methods Types of Elements Steady State Seepage Stress Analysis Consolidation Analysis Numerical Integration Elastic-Perfectly Plastic Models Work Hardening Models Effective Stress Analysis Using Cam Clay Type Models Cam Clay Type Models Undrained Analysis Finite Element Analysis Appendices Site Investigation and In Situ Testing Exploration Methods Site Investigation Object of Site Investigation Category of Investigation Planning an Investigation Preparing Cost Estimates for the Work Detailed Exploration Presentation of Information (Logs) Excavation or Drilling Methods Sampling Methods Rock Coring Field Tests Vane Shear Test Standard Penetration Test Pressuremeters Dilatometers Cone Penetrometers Interpretation of Cone Data Liquefaction Potential Geophysical Methods Resistivity Magnetic Surveying Ground Probing Radar Seismic Borehole Techniques Cross-Hole Techniques Other Seismic Devices Shallow Foundations Types of Shallow Foundations Bearing Capacity Numerical Analysis Settlement Numerical Approaches Raft Foundations Reactive Soils Cold Climates Deep Foundations Types of Piles Installation Pile Driving Equipment Problems with Driven Piles Problems from Soil Displacement Non-Displacement Piles Design Considerations Selection of Pile Type Designs of Piles Single Piles Methods Based on Field Tests Pile Groups Piles in Rock Settlement of Single Piles Interaction of Piles Assessment of Parameters Lateral Resistance of Piles Laterally Loaded Pile Groups Displacement of Laterally Loaded Piles Deflection of Pile Groups Estimation of Soil Properties Load Testing of Piles Pile Load Tests Dynamic Pile Testing Pile Integrity Tests Capabilities of Pile Test Procedures Number of Piles Tested Test Interpretation Monitoring of Piled Foundations Measurement Techniques Comparison with Predicted Performance Interpretation and Portrayal of Measurements Piled Rafts Uses of Piled Rafts Design Considerations Bearing Capacity of Piled Rafts Analysis of Piled Raft Foundations Example of the Finite Layer Method Applications Structural Stiffness Slope Stability Slip Circle Analysis Non-Circular Failure Surfaces Wedge Analysis Plasticity Theory Upper- and Lower-Bound Solutions Finite Element and Finite Difference Solutions Seismic Effects Factors of Safety Slope Stabilisation Techniques Stability Charts Excavation Excavation Types of Excavation Support Stability of Excavations Base Heave for Cuts in Clay Ground Settlement Caused By Excavation Effect of Shape of Excavation Forces on Braced Excavations Stability of Slurry-Filled Trenches Numerical Analysis Excavation Including Groundwater Soil Models Retaining Structures Earth Pressure Calculation Effect of Water Surface Loads Sheet Pile Walls Anchored Walls Reinforced Earth Computer Methods Soil Improvement Soft Soils Surcharging and Wick Drains Vibroflotation Vibro-Replacement Column-Supported Embankments Controlled Modulus Columns Dynamic Compaction Deep Soil Mixing Jet Grouting Grouting Other Methods Numerical Analysis Environmental Geomechanics Landfills Compacted Clay Liners Flexible Membrane Liners Geosynthetic Clay Liners Stability of Liners Processes Controlling Pollutant Transfer Finite Layer Solutions Remediation Mining Waste Basic Rock Mechanics Engineering Properties of Rocks Failure Criterion for Rock Classification of Rocks and Rock Masses Planes of Weakness Underground Excavation Rock Slopes Foundations on Rock Vibration through Rock Numerical Methods Appendices References
