Foundations and Piling

Proceedings of the International Workshop on Recent Advances of Deep Foundations (IWDPF07)1–2 February 2007, Port and Airport Research Institute, Yokosuka, Japan..

This volume, drawn from the proceedings of a recent international conference held in Nottingham, England, examines the challenges inherent in designing a new infrastructure, often on problematic ground, and the management and maintenance of aging assets in the face of issues such as climate change. ..

_x000D_ Including contributions on current issues in pile foundation engineering, 'Baltic Piling' will be of interest to engineers, academics and students interested in pile foundation engineering and related disciplines...

This volume provides an overview of the results of an extended test campaign performed on soil displacement screw piles at Limelett in Belgium in the period 2000-2002, where test piles have been installed to a very dense sand layer...

Clay geosynthetic barriers are geocomposites consisting of geosynthetics and betonite. They are used in various applications such as landfill cover systems, groundwater protection below roads and railways, sealing barriers in tunnels and water canals, etc. This work discusses the durability and life..

Detailing the latest developments in the disciplines of geotechnical engineering, clay science and geochemistry concerned with the fundamental properties of clay liner and buffer materials...

An updated and extended version of the first edition of the book of the same title. It outlines elastic numerical analyses. Solution techniques incorporate a variant of the direct stiffness method, an energy based finite difference approach, and a finite element method. Includes: Windows-based softw..

This text discusses factors such as mast overload, capacity of drawworks, and deviation in the hole to be drilled and the strata to be drilled. An omnibus approach to drilling techniques and problems is adopted...

This is a collection of national reports from most European countries on design-methods, as prescribed in more or less strict national codes or recommendations and so daily used in practice by consulting engineers and contractors...

Earth Pressure and Earth-Retaining Structures..

This book is based on the work of a number of experienced experts working in foundation engineering in tropical residual soils. It covers geology and formation of residual soils, site investigations, characterization and selection of parameters for foundation design, design of shallow and deep found..

The book deals with the geotechnical analysis and design of foundation systems for high-rise buildings and other complex structures with a distinctive soil-structure interaction...
