Analysis and Design of Geotechnical Structures
Analysis and design of geotechnical structures combines, in a single endeavor, a textbook to assist students in understanding the behavior of the main geotechnical works and a guide for practising geotechnical engineers, designers, and consultants. The subjects are treated in line with limit state design, which underpins the Eurocodes and most North America design codes. Instructors and students will value innovative approaches to numerous issues refined by the experience of the author in teaching generations of enthusiastic students. Professionals will gain from its comprehensive treatment of the topics covered in each chapter, supplemented by a plethora of informative material used by consultants and designers. For the benefit of both academics and professionals, conceptual exercises and practical geotechnical design problems are proposed at the end of most chapters. A final annex includes detailed resolutions of the exercises and problems.
Foundation Engineering Analysis and Design
One of the core roles of a practising geotechnical engineer is to analyse and design foundations. This textbook for advanced undergraduates and graduate students covers the analysis, design and construction of shallow and deep foundations and retaining structures as well as the stability analysis and mitigation of slopes. It progressively introduces critical state soil mechanics and plasticity theories such as plastic limit analysis and cavity expansion theories before leading into the theories of foundation, lateral earth pressure and slope stability analysis. On the engineering side, the book introduces construction and testing methods used in current practice. Throughout it emphasizes the connection between theory and practice. It prepares readers for the more sophisticated non-linear elastic-plastic analysis in foundation engineering which is commonly used in engineering practice, and serves too as a reference book for practising engineers.
Analysis, Design, and Construction Aspects of Geotechnical Structures
This book presents the select proceedings of the 8th Indian Young Geotechnical Engineers Conference (8IYGEC 2021) on the following conference themes: Foundation Engineering, Rock Engineering, Slope Stability and Landslides and Deep Excavation and Underground Structures. The book covers a wide range of topics on foundation engineering that include analysis and performance of piled raft foundations, uplift capacity of helical and micro piles, and behaviour of anchor plates. The topics on slope stability and landslides include early warning system for landslides, landslide mitigation and simulation, rainfall induced landslide analysis and slope stability assessment of highway embankments, backfills, concave slopes, coal mine overburden dump and shallow footing on slope. Further, the various aspects of deep excavation and underground structures including the performance predictive models and ground response due to excavations, buried drainage pipe leakage, and urban metro tunnel construction are covered in this book. This book can be a valuable reference for academicians and practicing engineers.
