Gabions Trapezoidal Channel Velocity Calculator - US Units
Size: 0.85 MB
Terra Aqua Gabions and Reno Mattresses offer designers, engineers, contractors and development planners numerous unique advantages for channel lining applications. Gabions and Reno Mattresses will allow the designer to stabilize the channel base and banks, predetermine the value of roughness for the channel base and banks, prevent soil erosion, increase the capacity of the channel, promote vegetation, reduce seepage of the channel and most important determine the soil movement under the lining.
Terra Aqua Gabions and Reno Mattresses are generally placed directly on cut grade soil conditions with little or no foundation preparation prior to placement. A permeable geotextile filter fabric should be placed between the Gabion or Reno Mattress and the foundation soil. This shall prevent fine soils from leaching through the lining.

The Terra Aqua Stable Slope System is a mechanically reinforced soil gabion wall fabricated from a continuous double twisted PVC coated wire mesh that makes up the gabion basket facing and the mesh reinforcement panel. Terra Aqua’s monolithic design of the Stable Slope System allows the mesh reinforcement and the gabion wall face to offer porosity, strength, durability, and flexibility. Each unit should be placed in the direction of maximum strength, which is the direction the mesh is woven, lying parallel to the direction of soil stress.

forums usually have a tag button to add tags in a thread in order to' when somebody searches something (e.g. like me "bs 8110" a few minutes ago etc) to get it fast and not to get as a result all the threads with the term "bs 8110" included.
tags make search more fast and more practical. and take in mind that, forums that didn't organized when the members and the posts were relative few, turned into a mess over the years with the information lost in thousands irrelevant posts and threads
Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) Proceedings of the Second International Symposium on Ultra High Performance Concrete Kassel, Germany March 05-07, 2008
Preface
Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) not only offers superior compressive strength but also extraordinary ductility and far more durability than ordinary concrete. It enables to build structures which are sustainable and economical and come with light and filigree appearance at the same time. During the last four years, since the First International Symposium on Ultra High Performance Concrete held in Kassel in 2004, UHPC has gained much more attendance all over the world, being it by different types of applications for interesting structures or by research on the material itself and the optimization of its production and behaviour. Much of this work has been presented and discussed at the Second International Symposium on Ultra High Performance Concrete in Kassel in 2008 in more than 100 lectures. The presentations have given a broad survey of all aspects of UHPC including raw materials, micro- and macro-structures, mechanical behaviour, durability as well as of construction and design specifications appropriate for this material. Exciting architectural concepts and many examples of interesting engineering applications have been presented at the symposium. The symposium was organized by the Institute of Structural Engineering, Faculty of Civil Engineering of the University of Kassel, Germany. The Conference Proceedings contain the conference papers and presentations. We hope that the conference and the excellent papers will promote further development and exploitation of Ultra High Performance Concrete – one of the most challenging construction material for the 21st century.
Kassel, March 2008

This manual provides background information in geotechnical engineering and design. It also includes guidance for performing geotechnical investigations, preparation of design recommendations, and submittal of the Geotechnical Report. It is based on past Indiana Department of Transportation (referred to herein as “INDOT” or “the Department”) experience, the experience of other groups and agencies with similar requirements, and the current state of the practice in geotechnical engineering. The intent is that this manual will stand on its own; however, to avoid unnecessary duplication, reference is often made to other available manuals and publications of the Department, as well as other references which are readily available. Additionally, since it is impractical to be totally encompassing, and since the state of the practice is continually evolving, some documents are simply referenced as needed.

This book presents a comprehensive and systematic analysis of problems of transversely isotropic materials that have wide applications in civil, mechanical, aerospace, materials processing and manufacturing engineering. Various efficient methods based on three-dimensional elasticity are developed under a unified framework, including the displacement method, the stress method, and the state-space method. In particular, a three-dimensional general solution is derived to solve practical problems such as the infinite space, half-space, bimaterial space, layered medium, bodies of revolution, thermal stresses and three-dimensional contact. Exact and analytical solutions are also derived for static and dynamic problems of plates and shells, which may be used as the benchmarks for numerical or approximate analysis. Coupling effects of inner/outer fluids and surrounding elastic media on the free vibration cylindrical and spherical shells are discussed in detail. New state-space formulations are established for the analysis of rectangular plates and spherical shells, from which two independent classes of vibrations can be easily clarified. In short, this is the first monograph on mechanics of transversely isotropic materials, which is unique, covers topics of practical importance and provides many references for the reader.
