Soil-Machine Interactions: A Finite Element Perspective

Soil-Machine Interactions: A Finite Element Perspective more books like this

by Jie Shen

Aiming to improve work efficiency in such areas as tillage in agriculture, earth-moving in civil engineering, and tunnel-making in sea-bed operations, this work offers an introduction to Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis of soil-machine systems. It explains the advantage of FEM's numerical approach over traditional analytical and empirical ...

Rock Quality, Seismic Velocity, Attenuation and Anisotropy

Rock Quality, Seismic Velocity, Attenuation and Anisotropy more books like this

by Nick Barton

Seismic measurements take many forms, and have a universal role in the earth sciences. There are huge rewards, to be gained from 'seeing' below the earth's surface. This book describes seismic behaviour at many scales, and provides the appropriate interpretation in terms of rock mechanics. Reviewing examples of seismic measurements from numerous ...

Expansive Soils: Problems and Practice in Foundation and Pavement Engineering

Expansive Soils: Problems and Practice in Foundation and Pavement Engineering more books like this

by John D Nelson, Debora J Miller

This reference work describes the engineering problems of foundations built on expansive soils. Expansive soils, which shrink or swell under changing moisture conditions, cause more damage to structures, particularly light buildings and pavements, than any other natural hazard, including earthquakes and floods. The book presents techniques for ...

Structural Mechanics of Buried Pipes

Structural Mechanics of Buried Pipes more books like this

by Reynold King Watkins, Loren Runar Anderson

Buried pipes are a highly efficient method of transport. In fact, only open channels are less costly to construct. However, the structural mechanics of buried pipes can be complicated, and imprecisions in the properties of the soil envelope are usually too great to justify lengthy, complicated analyses. Designers and engineers need principles and ...

Soil-Steel Bridges

Soil-Steel Bridges more books like this

by George Abdel-Sayed, Sayed George Abdel, Leslie G Jaeger (Editor)

Tens of thousands of soil-steel bridges can be found in North America alone. Unfortunately, many of these short spans are in serious distress - largely because of a lack of reliable design and construction data. This practical guide contains the technical information that should enable engineers to design and construct safe, economical soil-steel ...

Soil structure interaction numerical analysis and modelling more books like this

by Bull

The major problems in predicting soil-structure interaction are based on the fact that soil is neither homogeneous nor elastic and is invariably much weaker than the structure it has to support. This book describes how a number of different methods of analysis and modelling, including the boundary element method, the finite element method and a ...
