Author: B.B.K. Huat, Faisal Haji Ali, Husaini Omar, Harwant Singh | Size: 69 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Taylor & Francis | Year: 2006 | pages: 256 | ISBN: 9780415398985
Residual soils are found in many parts of the world. Like other soils, they are used extensively in construction, being built upon and used as construction materials. Residual soils are formed when the processes of rock weathering proceed at a faster rate than the transport processes by water, gravity and wind, whereby much of the resulting soils will remain in place. The soil typically retains many of the characteristics of the parent rock. In a tropical region, residual soil layers can be very thick, sometimes extending for hundred of meters before reaching unweathered rock.
This book has gathered state-of-the-art knowledge from a number of experienced experts working in foundation engineering in tropical residual soils. Subjects covered are: geology and formation of residual soils, site investigations, characterization and selection of parameters for foundation design, design of shallow and deep foundations which include driven piles, drilled shafts and caissons, and special topics which include design of piles in marginally-stable river banks, micro piles, Augeo pile, pile load and NDT, foundation failures and remedial works, and pile supported embankment. The book also includes a country case study on engineering geology in relation to foundation engineering in Malaysia.

Ballast plays a vital role in transmitting and distributing the train wheel loads to the underlying sub-ballast and subgrade. Bearing capacity of track, train speed, riding quality and passenger comfort all depend on the stability of ballast through mechanical interlocking of particles. Ballast attrition and breakage occur progressively under heavy cyclic loading, causing track deterioration and rail misalignment affecting safety, and also demanding frequent and costly track maintenance. In the absence of realistic constitutive models, the track substructure is traditionally designed using empirical approaches.
In this book, the authors present the detailed information on the strength, deformation and degradation aspects of fresh and recycled ballast under monotonic, cyclic and impact loading using innovative geotechnical testing devices. A new stress-strain constitutive model for ballast incorporating particle breakage is presented. The mathematical formulations and numerical models are validated using experimental evidence and field trials. The effectiveness of various commercially available geosynthetics for enhancing track drainage and stability is elucidated. Revised ballast gradations are presented for modern high speed trains capturing particle breakage. The book also provides extensive description of the use of geosynthetics in track design, and provides an insight to track design capturing particle degradation, fouling and drainage.
This book should prove most beneficial for final year civil engineering students and postgraduates. It is imperative for practicing railway engineers and researchers with the task of modernizing existing track designs for heavier and faster trains.

The author has written this definitive work on the fundamentals of riser mechanics, with the aim of increasing understanding of many aspects of riser static and dynamic behavior. This book is based on the author’s 28 years of experience with riser analysis and, in particular, on his previous publications, some of which have become classics of riser literature. Basic principles are clearly established using several different complementary approaches and the primary parameters that influence riser behavior are identified. This book is a must-own, for anyone who deals with riser design and analysis or with riser technology, from the classroom student to the offshore drilling platform engineer.

Hi
I have a problem to burn iso image file (6.18 GB).
My DVD is only 4.7 GB.
When I insert 4.7 GB DVD to burn iso image file , it say that Not enough space.
How to burn it .
Thanks

Hey Guys, I am starting on my masters thesis, and will work on automatic development of a strut and tie model using topology optimization from a genetic algorithm and finite element model updating.
I am new to the topic, looking for resources , ideas and opinions. I want to work on it because i love coding and very interested in strut and tie modeling.
If anyone has a similar thesis or document I can learn from , I would really appreciate it.
I will be using matlab with comsol , anyone worked with comsol ? i chose it because of its direct link with matlab, which would be easier than ansys.
With the development in the sixties of computer-based analysis methods, the teaching of structural analysis subjects was revolutionized.
The traditional division between structural analysis and structural mechanics became no longer necessary, and instead of teaching a preponderance of solution details it is nowpossible to focus on the underlying theory.
What has been done here is to integrate analysis and mechanics in a systematic presentation which includes the mechanics of a member, the matrix formulation of the equations for a system of members, and solution techniques.
The three fundamental steps in formulating a problem in solid mechanics enforcing equilibrium, relating deformations and displacements, and relating forces and deformations form the basis of the development, and the central theme is to establish the equations for each step and then discuss how the complete set of equations is solved. In this way, a reader obtains a more unified view of a problen1, sees more clearly where the various simplifying assumptions are introduced, and is better prepared to extend the theory.
The objective has been a text suitable for the teaching of modern structural member system analysis, and what is offered is an outgrowth of lecture notes developed in recent years at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

The present book has its source in the authors’ wish to create a bridge between the mathematical and the technical disciplines, which need a good knowledge of a strong mathematical tool. The necessity of such an interdisciplinary work drove the authors to publish a first book to this aim with Editura Tehnica, Bucharest, Romania.
The present book is a new, English edition of the volume published in 1999. It contains many improvements concerning the theoretical (mathematical) information, as well as new topics, using enlarged and updated references. Only ordinary differential equations and their solutions in an analytical frame were considered, leaving aside their numerical approach.
The problem is firstly stated in its mechanical frame. Then the mathematical model is set up, emphasizing on the one hand the physical magnitude playing the part of the unknown function and on the other hand the laws of mechanics that lead to an ordinary differential equation or system. The solution is then obtained by specifying the mathematical methods described in the corresponding theoretical presentation. Finally a mechanical interpretation of the solution is provided, this giving rise to a complete knowledge of the studied phenomenon.
The number of applications was increased, and many of these problems appear currently in engineering.

I read several materials related to pushover analysis & they refer to SEAOC's Vision 2000 ( published in 1995 by SEAOC ) for drift limit, performance level & others.
Plz somebody who have SEAOC's Vision 2000 or later code from SEAOC ... plz share.
Thank You!
