Description for Earth Structures
Hardback. Soil represents the oldest and most-used building material, yet up to now the subject of earthen structures has not been fully addressed. This book describes the principles of soil as construction material including its treatment using geosynthetics and stabilization. Series: Geotechnical, Geological and Earthquake Engineering. Num Pages: 637 pages, 275 black & white illustrations, 21 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: TNCC. Category: (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 34. Weight in Grams: 1083.
One of the plausible perceptions about safe and generally optimal geotechnical structure, leads to the conclusion that its success is supported by four columns. The ?rst column relies on the understanding of natural sciences such as Geology, Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology on one side, and on the understanding of Mechanics, Theory of Elasticity on the other side. The second column relies on the application of existing ?ndings on the behaviour of soils and rocks under different stress-strain states – we are speaking about support from Soil Mechanics and Rock Mechanics. The third column relies on the combination of the theoretical ... Read more
