Manual on Subsurface Investigations , National Highway Institute
This manual is the reference text used for the FHWA NHI course No. 132031 on Subsurface Investigations and
reflects current practice for such. The planning, execution, and interpretation of geotechnical site explorations in natural soil and rock are presented with regard to the design and construction of transportation facilities. The role of the geotechnical engineer in subsurface investigation, exploration methods, equipment types and their suitability are discussed. Various in-situ tests are presented, including cone penetration, dilatometer, pressuremeter, vane, and standard penetration. Rotary drilling and rock coring are reviewed in terms of the proper handling, transportation, and storage of soil and rock samples for laboratory testing. Geophysical wave and electromagnetic methods are covered. Laboratory index, strength, and stiffness testing are reviewed in complement to the field testing program. Geomaterial characterization requires the interpretation and correlation of engineering properties from the acquired field and lab measurements. The results are summarized in a geotechnical report with available geological, topographical, hydrological, and geotechnical data collected towards the analysis and design of earthwork structures and foundation design.

Dear Friends & Colleagues,
I am searching this book : "Finite Element Code for Soil and Rock Analysis. A.A. BALKEMA/ROTT/BROOKFIELD. The Netherlands" .Does anybody have it ??? Please share for me .
This small presentation describes the advantages, the behavior and some descriptions of design of this system. It is very useful for the one that does not know the same one since it describes graphically very well the system.

Product Description:
This collected work reports on the state of the art of hydrological model simulation, as well as the methods for satellite-based rainfall estimation. Mainly addressed to scientists and researchers, the contributions have the structure of a standard paper appearing in most cited hydrological, atmospheric and climate journals. Several already-known hydrological models and a few novel ones are presented, as well as the satellite-based precipitation techniques. As the field of hydrologic modeling is experiencing rapid development and transition to application of distributed models, many challenges including overcoming the requirements of compatible observations of inputs and outputs are addressed.
The many contributing authors, who are well established in this field, provide readers with a timely overview of the ongoing research on these topics. The level of interest and active involvement in the discussions clearly demonstrate the importance the scientific community places on challenges related to the coupling of atmospheric and hydrologic models.

Case History Evaluation of the Behaviour of Drilled Shafts Under Axial and Lateral Loading
This report presents the results of a study to evaluate drilled shaft behavior under axial and lateral loading for undrained and drained conditions. This is a critical evaluation that incorporates a wide variety of available field and laboratory load test data, standardized to a consistent reference plane. It gives specific design recommendations for drilled shafts and the appropriate statistics to describe the quality of the recommendations.
As a result of gravity dead loads, vertical live loads such as ice and snow accumulations and lateral wind loads, the design of foundations for transmission line structures is dominated by axial and lateral loading. A variety of analytical models and load test databases have led to differences and perception of drilled shaft behavior under these loading modes and a consistent design methodology does not exist for those foundations. As a result, engineers often recommend drilled shafts having significantly different dimensions for identical geotechnical and loading conditions.

This book is about the mechanics of soils and structures interacting with soils. It has been primarily designed as a classroom teaching book, but it also covers more advanced aspects, usually included in upper level courses on civil and geotechnical engineering.
The behaviour of soil is today approached on sound and rational bases, using concepts of continuum mechanics, and experimental evidences prove that it is a significant and powerful procedure.
Soils are natural materials and the solution of engineering problems requires the knowledge of the properties of real soils. These properties have to be investigated, rather then being prescribed, so that it is necessary to be familiar with testing techniques and to be aware of the relevance of field investigation.
However, both phases of programming and interpreting experimental tests require a conceptual framework, and for this reason reference has been made throughout this book to the Critical State Theory. The central idea of this theory is that volume changes play a role so important as the effective stresses and it is the relation between the initial
state and the critical state that has a major influence on soil behaviour. Moreover, this theory also provides a link between soil mechanics and previously grasped concepts as elasticity and plasticity, that in turn are extensively used in two final chapters, aimed at applications.
