A propos de cet article

Paperback. The soil under a project is the one material a civil engineer never gets to specify.Steel arrives with a mill certificate and concrete with a mix design. The ground is whatever geology left behind: variable, sampled at a handful of points, and unforgiving of assumptions. So the work comes down to a familiar moment. A boring log lands on your desk, loose sand over soft clay with the water table near the surface, and you have to decide what it means and what to do about it.This handbook is written for that decision. Sixteen chapters move in the order the work actually happens, from how a deposit formed, through the tests that measure it, to the foundation, retaining structure, slope, or ground treatment those measurements support. Each method arrives with its assumptions, its supporting test, and a clear statement of where it stops being reliable.What this handbook helps you doClassify soils from index tests and read what the result implies about strength, compressibility, drainage, and volume changeControl compaction and earthwork in the field, and diagnose the density and moisture problems that stall projectsBuild stress profiles, analyze seepage with flow nets, and evaluate piping, uplift, and dewateringEstimate settlement and its rate, and select drained and undrained strength parameters with sample disturbance in mindPlan a subsurface investigation, interpret penetration testing, and produce boring logs and profiles a designer can useDesign shallow foundations, piles, and drilled shafts for bearing capacity, settlement, group action, and upliftAnalyze retaining structures, braced excavations, and slopes, and screen a site for liquefaction and seismic ground movementAlso insideGround improvement and problem soils, including preloading and vertical drains, densification, grouting and soil mixing, expansive and collapsible soils, organic deposits, karst, and frost-susceptible ground. More than one hundred and thirty worked examples expose the decision points rather than the arithmetic, practice problems in every chapter are answerable from that chapter alone, and forty-plus tables keep the book usable at the desk.Written for practicing civil and geotechnical engineers, design office and construction staff, engineering geologists, and graduate and senior undergraduate students, as well as engineers returning to geotechnical work after time away.Add the handbook that follows a project from the first boring to the final design check, and start reading the ground with the confidence it demands.
