Earth Pressure and EarthRetaining Structures

Centrifuge Modelling for Civil Engineers

Third Edition Chris R.I. Clayton, Rick I. Woods, Andrew J. Bond, and Jarbas Milititsky This classic workbook has long been recognized as a comprehensive introduction to the mechanisms of earth pressure, and as a thorough guide to the design requirements for retaining structures. It has now been entirely restructured and revised, providing significantly more support to help non-specialists understand the geotechnical issues and supply background to uncertainty of parameters and partial factor issues that underpin recent codes such as Eurocode 7. It comprehensively covers the principles of the geotechnical design of gravity walls, embedded walls, and composite structures.

Slope Stability Analysis and Stabilization New Methods and Insight, Second Edition

Gopal Madabhushi University of Cambridge, UK

This book on centrifuge modelling begins with the basics, then gradually moves on to methods and applications such as shallow foundations, retaining walls, and pile foundations. Its coverage proceeds to tackle increasingly more complex issues such as tunnelling beneath existing pile foundations and assessing the stability of buildings and their foundations following earthquakeinduced soil liquefaction. It addresses the use of modern imaging techniques, as well as data acquisition and modelling techniques. It also explains the necessary signal processing tools that are used to decipher centrifuge test data.

Mechanics of Groundwater in Porous Media Muhammad I. Haque George Washington University, District of Columbia, USA

A number of methods currently exist for the analysis and design of slopes. This book provides a critical review of these, and offers more approaches for overcoming numerical non-convergence and the location of critical failure surfaces in two-dimensional and three-dimensional cases. It also addresses new concepts in three-dimensional stability analysis, finite element analysis, and the extension of slope stability problems to lateral earth pressure problems. It offers advice and design resources in the form of recommendations for analysis and design practice, design charts, and tables.

Maintaining a careful balance between mathematical rigor and the physical aspects of groundwater movement, this senior undergraduateand graduate-level environmental engineering text covers the topic from theory to practice. Avoiding unnecessary mathematical subtleties and oversimplifications of qualitative descriptions, the book assumes calculus knowledge generally acquired during the first two semesters at a university, while further developing the skills needed for the analysis of groundwater movement. Featuring numerous illustrations and worked examples, the text also makes an excellent professional reference for engineers, geologists, and hydrologists.

Constitutive Modeling of Geomaterials Principles and Applications Teruo Nakai Nagoya Institute of Technology, Japan

A rapid load test (RLT), developed to determine initial stiffness and bearing capacity, is an economical and practical alternative for a static load test. However, application of RLTs has been hampered by uncertainty about the interpretation of results. This book provides clear guidance on the available analysis techniques and their reliability. The guidelines presented are related to an international standard drawn up by CEN and can be used for the straightforward interpretation of RLT results, as well as interpretation with additional background on the possibilities and limitations.

Written by a seasoned geotechnical engineer, this book presents a simple and unified approach to modeling various features of geomaterials in general stress systems. It not only covers recent methods and models but also uses real test data to prove their reliability. The author first explains the ideas and formulations for modeling soil features in one-dimensional conditions and then extends the one-dimensional models to three-dimensional ones using the tij concept. He also illustrates the numerical simulations of typical geotechnical problems and the corresponding model tests.

Demanding a thorough knowledge of material behaviour and numerical modelling, site characterisation and in situ test interpretation are no longer just basic empirical recommendations. Giving a critical appraisal of the understanding and assessment of the stress-strain-time and strength characteristics of geomaterials, this book explores new interpretation methods for measuring properties of a variety of soil formations.

Floods are the most prevalent natural hazard in Europe, despite a long history of flood defence measures. Has flood risk increased in Europe? How, where, and why? Are climate change impacts apparent? Do socio-economic trends and associated land use and land cover change contribute to risk? Specific aspects of flood risk change across Europe, national and regional perspectives, detection and attribution of change, the re-insurer’s view point, historical floods, and future projections of flood risk, are considered in this essential text.

University of Kansas, Lawrence, USA

Rajib B. Mallick and Tahar El-Korchi

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report (2007) acknowledged that current ice sheet models do not adequately treat the dynamic response of ice sheets to climate change.

There are other books on unsaturated soil mechanics, but this book is different. In most climatic zones, rainfall varies during the year and the depth of the water table varies sympathetically. In applying unsaturated soil mechanics in practice, it is therefore important to realize and allow for the probability that soil will, either seasonally or occasionally, pass from the unsaturated to the saturated state and even from unsaturation to dryness. This is the only book that looks specifically at this essential practical aspect.
