MANUAL OF SOIL LABORATORY TESTING
Author: K.H. Head
Publisher: ELE International, John Wiley & Sons Inc, Whittles Publishing
Publication Date: Any
Edition: Any
Language: English
Publisher's Note
Completely updated and expanded, it takes into account the changes and additions to BS 1377 plus references to NAMAS requirements for tests and calibration, as well as extensive coverage of the latest ASTM Standards. A working manual for all those involved in geotechnical laboratory testing, volume one discusses basic tests for soil classification and compaction. Every test is broken down into simple stages and described step-by-step. More complex procedures are illustrated by flow diagrams and many numerical examples are given to demonstrate the methods of calculation. Volume Two covers standard laboratory tests for the measurement of soil permeability, CBR values, shear strength, and consolidation characteristics. The Third Volume contains material on effective stress triaxial tests of various kinds.

GROUND SUPPORT – REINFORCEMENT, COMPOSITE STRUCTURES
Ground support comprises a wide field of geotechnical engineering. Therefore some special topics are selected: Reinforcement and dowelling of soil and rock by nails, anchors, piles and jet-grouting. Thus, the ground becomes more or less a compound body which locally can be considered a quasi-monolith. In the case of retaining structures or underground excavations, prestressed anchors are used in addition to conventional reinforcement. The paper focuses on retaining structures, underpinning of buildings, and tunnelling. Residual shear strength of the ground is considered an essential value for parametric design analyses and risk assessment, and the observational method is favoured over the fully-engineered design.

Evaluation of Soil Shear Strengths for Slope and Retaining Wall Stability Analyses with Emphasis on High Plasticity Clays
In this report important fundamentals pertaining to the shear strength of soils are reviewed and guidelines for determining appropriate values of soil shear strength parameters are presented for both undrained (short-term) and drained (long-term) stability conditions. Particular attention is given to the long-term strength properties of compacted high PI clay fills used for embankment construction.

Performance-Based Design in Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering
Performance-Based Design in Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering
From Case History to Practice
Edited by Takaji Kokusho, Yoshimichi Tsukamoto, Mitsutoshi Yoshimine
Pages: 388 pages
This book presents current developments in performance-based design (PBD) in earthquake geotechnical engineering, including various case histories, numerical methods, soil investigations and engineering practice. Special attention is paid to the 2008 Wenchuan Sichuan earthquake in China, performance evaluations, the role of soil investigations, criteria/design codes, and the performance and future perspectives of PBD. The information in this book will be of particular interest to researchers in earthquake geotechnical engineering, and practicing geotechnical and structural engineers.
