Beschreibung
Devised with a focus on problem solving, Geotechnical ProblemSolving bridges the gap between geotechnical and soil mechanicsmaterial covered in university Civil Engineering courses and theadvanced topics required for practicing Civil, Structural andGeotechnical engineers. By giving newly qualified engineers theinformation needed to apply their extensive theoretical knowledge,and informing more established practitioners of the latestdevelopments, this book enables readers to consider how toconfidently approach problems having thought through the variousoptions available. Where various competing solutions are proposed,the author systematically leads through each option, weighing upthe benefits and drawbacks of each, to ensure the reader canapproach and solve real-world problems in a similar manner
The scope of material covered includes a range of geotechnicaltopics, such as soil classification, soil stresses and strength andsoil self-weight settlement. Shallow and deep foundations areanalyzed, including special articles on laterally loaded piles,retaining structures including MSE and Tieback walls, slope andtrench stability for natural, cut and fill slopes, geotechnicaluncertainty, and geotechnical LRFD (Load and Resistance FactorDesign).
