Principles and Practice of Ground Improvement by Jie Han

Ground improvement is popular in many countries to solve difficult geotechnical problems, especially when construction necessarily occurs in problematic soils and under difficult geotechnical conditions. Many recent developments in equipment, materials, and design methods have made ground improvement technologies more effective, efficient, and economic. However, the state of practice for most ground improvement technologies is …

Soil Engineering: Testing, Design, and Remediation Book by Fu Hua Chen

3 Comments / Civil Books Platform, Geo technical Engineering Book / By admin

In the last forty years, at least fifty books have been written on the subject of soil mechanics, most of them textbooks. Only a few touch on practical applications. Soil Engineering: Testing, Design, and Remediation supplies the information needed to fill the gap between textbook learning and practical know-how.When engineers deal with major projects, such …

Reliability-Based Design in Geotechnical Engineering

Leave a Comment / Civil Books Platform, Geo technical Engineering Book / By admin

Reliability-based design is the only engineering methodology currently available which can ensure self-consistency in both physical and probabilistic terms. It is also uniquely compatible with the theoretical basis underlying other disciplines such as structural design. It is especially relevant as geotechnical design becomes subject to increasing codification and to code harmonization across national boundaries and …

Pile Design for Structural and Geotechnical Engineers

Leave a Comment / Civil Books Platform, Geo technical Engineering Book / By admin

All objects and structures transfer their load either directly or indirectly to the earth. The capacity of the earth to support such loads depends on the strength and stability of the supporting soil or rock materials. Pile foundations are the part of a structure used to carry and transfer the load of the structure to …

Groundwater geochemistry Book by Broder Merkel

Leave a Comment / Civil Books Platform, Geo technical Engineering Book / By admin

To understand hydrochemistry and to analyze natural as well as man-made impacts on aquatic systems, hydrogeochemical models have been used since the 1960’s and more frequently in recent times. Numerical groundwater flow, transport, and geochemical models are important tools besides classical deterministic and analytical approaches. Solving complex linear or non-linear systems of equations, commonly with …
