Geotechnical Problem Solving

Author: John C. Lommler | Size: 3.7 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Original preprint | Publisher: Wiley | Year: 2012 | pages: 350 | ISBN: 978-1-119-99297-4

Taking a personal tone and devised with a focus on practical aspects, Geotechnical Problem Solving bridges the gap between geotechnical and soil mechanics material covered in university Civil Engineering courses and the advanced topics required for practicing Civil, Structural and Geotechnical engineers. By giving newly qualified engineers the information needed to apply their extensive theoretical knowledge, and informing more established practitioners of the latest developments, this book helps readers confidently approach problems having thought through the various options available. Where various competing solutions are proposed, the author systematically guides readers through each option, weighing the benefits and drawbacks of each, to ensure they can approach and solve real-world problems in a similar manner.

Links theoretical and practical work to provide a reference and guide to geotechnical topics
Takes readers through various scenarios helping them to understand how to solve problems efficiently
Provides a perspective on complexity in geotechnical practice
Gives readers the tools they need to understand the principles and history behind the material so that they can handle real-world problems
Covers a broad range of geotechnical topics, including soils, foundations and retaining structures, and provides an introduction to the background and application of geotechnical LRFD
Reading recommendations are given including special articles and references for further study of advanced material
Uses a ‘problem’ and ‘answer’ mentoring approach from the author to the reader to answer many of the reader’s questions
The scope of material covered includes a range of geotechnical topics, such as soil classification, soil stresses and strength and soil self-weight settlement. Shallow and deep foundations are analyzed, including special articles on laterally loaded piles, retaining structures including MSE and Tieback walls, slope and trench stability for natural, cut and fill slopes, geotechnical uncertainty, and geotechnical LRFD (Load and Resistance Factor Design).
