Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an in-depth exploration of the geological considerations that are crucial for successful dam and reservoir planning and construction. The author emphasizes the significance of understanding the geological environment and its various elements, such as topography, hydrology, and geology. By examining case studies of problematic conditions in bedrock and unconsolidated deposits, the book highlights the importance of identifying and addressing potential issues. The author also discusses economic aspects of dam and reservoir planning, including the availability of construction materials, the impact on mineral resources, and the balance between site quality and budget. This comprehensive guide provides valuable insights for engineers, planners, and decision-makers involved in the development of dams and reservoirs, ensuring safe and sustainable projects. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book assesses the physical and mineralogical composition, as well as engineering properties of surface materials in McHenry County, Illinois. The author determines the behavioral characteristics of these materials, concluding that they could support heavy structures. However, any major construction should be preceded by thorough exploration to avoid differential settlement in the materials. The author presents a comprehensive analysis of the county's surface materials, examining their grain size, plasticity, and mineralogical composition. Based on this data, the author provides crucial insights into the engineering properties of these materials, highlighting their potential for construction and infrastructure development. These findings hold significant implications for planning and construction projects in the county, ensuring the safe and sustainable use of its natural resources. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book evaluates forty-six proposed dam and reservoir sites in McHenry County, Illinois, providing detailed geological descriptions of each site based on a comprehensive geological map and unit descriptions prepared by David L. Cross. The author's field examinations of the geology in the vicinity of each site incorporate local variations significant to dam and reservoir development into the descriptions for consideration in the evaluations. Although not mentioned in the site descriptions, an adequate program of investigation, including test boring and materials study, must be undertaken to determine the specific geologic and foundation conditions at any site considered for dam and reservoir construction. The author's evaluations are based upon the probable nature of the underlying materials and the probable water-holding ability of the proposed reservoir basin, with the possibility of using special construction techniques to develop a deficient site, such as lining a leaky reservoir with clay, and the possibility of developing a reservoir at ground water level by excavation not considered in judging site feasibility. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
