Unsaturated Soil Mechanics in Engineering Practice
Author: D. G. Fredlund, H. Rahardjo, M. D. Fredlund | Size: 22.5 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Wiley | Year: 2012 | pages: 939 | ISBN: 9781118280492
The definitive guide to unsaturated soil- from the world's experts on the subject
This book builds upon and substantially updates Fredlund and Rahardjo's publication, Soil Mechanics for Unsaturated Soils, the current standard in the field of unsaturated soils. It provides readers with more thorough coverage of the state of the art of unsaturated soil behavior and better reflects the manner in which practical unsaturated soil engineering problems are solved. Retaining the fundamental physics of unsaturated soil behavior presented in the earlier book, this new publication places greater emphasis on the importance of the "soil-water characteristic curve" in solving practical engineering problems, as well as the quantification of thermal and moisture boundary conditions based on the use of weather data. Topics covered include:
Theory to Practice of Unsaturated Soil Mechanics
Nature and Phase Properties of Unsaturated Soil
State Variables for Unsaturated Soils
Measurement and Estimation of State Variables
Soil-Water Characteristic Curves for Unsaturated Soils
Ground Surface Moisture Flux Boundary Conditions
Theory of Water Flow through Unsaturated Soils
Solving Saturated/Unsaturated Water Flow Problems
Air Flow through Unsaturated Soils
Heat Flow Analysis for Unsaturated Soils
Shear Strength of Unsaturated Soils
Shear Strength Applications in Plastic and Limit Equilibrium
Stress-Deformation Analysis for Unsaturated Soils
Solving Stress-Deformation Problems with Unsaturated Soils
Compressibility and Pore Pressure Parameters
Consolidation and Swelling Processes in Unsaturated Soils
Unsaturated Soil Mechanics in Engineering Practice is essential reading for geotechnical engineers, civil engineers, and undergraduate- and graduate-level civil engineering students with a focus on soil mechanics.

Structural dynamics is a subset of structural analysis which covers the behavior of structures subjected to dynamic loading. The subject has seen rapid growth and also change in how the basic concepts can be interpreted. For instance, the classical notions of discretizing the operator of a dynamic structural model have given way to a set-theoretic, function-space based framework, which is more conducive to implementation with a computer. This modern perspective, as adopted in this book, is also helpful in putting together the various tools and ideas in a more integrated style.
Elements of Structural Dynamics: A New Perspective is devoted to covering the basic concepts in linear structural dynamics, whilst emphasizing their mathematical moorings and the associated computational aspects that make their implementation in software possible.
Key features:
Employs a novel ‘top down’ approach to structural dynamics.
Contains an insightful treatment of the computational aspects, including the finite element method, that translate into numerical solutions of the dynamic equations of motion.
Consistently touches upon the modern mathematical basis for the theories and approximations involved.
Elements of Structural Dynamics: A New Perspective is a holistic treatise on structural dynamics and is an ideal textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students in Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil engineering departments. This book also forms a useful reference for researchers and engineers in industry.

There are other books on unsaturated soil mechanics, but this book is different. Unsaturated soil mechanics is only one aspect of a continuous range of soil mechanics studies that extends from the rheology of high water content soil slurries to the mechanics of soft soils, to stiff saturated soils, to unsaturated soils, and, at the far end of the range, to dry soils.
In reality, the water content of all soils, that are not permanently submerged, varies seasonally. In most climatic zones, rainfall varies during the year and the depth of the water table varies sympathetically. In applying unsaturated soil mechanics in practice, it is therefore important to realise and allow for the probability that soil will, either seasonally or occasionally, pass from the unsaturated to the saturated state and even from unsaturation to dryness. This is the only book that looks specifically at this essential practical aspect.
The theory of unsaturated soils is fully dealt with in all of its aspects, including its application to natural undisturbed soils and compacted soils. Application of the theory to soil-like materials such as mine waste and municipal solid waste is also covered. Application of the theory to practice is illustrated by a number of detailed case histories. Unsaturated soil mechanics principles can also successfully and usefully be applied in related fields such as the bulk storage of particulate materials, underground mine support, solution mining and concrete structures. Several case histories are given that illustrate these practical applications.
The author has been professionally engaged in practical research and application of unsaturated soil mechanics for close to 60 years and with this book shares his wide experience with the reader.

Dear Civilians,
I need information or guidance for Welding Inspection.
I am specially interested in visual welding inspection in field.
I think these two could be useful but didn´t find any of them on internet (at least not without paying hundreds of dollars!) :
WI:2000 WELDING INSPECTION HANDBOOK
B1.11:2000 GUIDE FOR THE VISUAL EXAMINATION OF WELDS (AWS B1.11)
I would really appreciate if you can share any of them or provide some guidance (maybe some text) that covers something useful related to the subject.
Dear all, im looking forward the journal papers below. Thank you.
