Book Description
This report compares various laboratory procedures and equipment used for determining the residual strength of clay shales. The effects of testing apparatus, specimen type, normal load, and rate of displacement on the residual strength of various clay shales were evaluated by relations between residual strength and Atterberg limits, grain size, and mineralogy were examined.

Soil Properties and Behaviour
Author: R. YoungPublisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0444601368
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 465
Book Description
Soil Properties and Behavior defines the structure of the soil-water system. This book provides the background of the nature of mineral particles and the existing forces between the particles in the soil system. It also examines the structure and fabric of soil, as well as their relationship with water. Furthermore, the book explores water movement and soil performance, which are related to the physics of soil-water movement and volume changes. This book illustrates the common clay minerals in soils and discusses the methods for their identification. It also reviews the theory of one-dimensional consolidation and discusses the soil structure in consolidation and compression. The book also presents the concepts of yield and failure in soils, yield criteria, and failure theories. It also focuses on granular and cohesive soil strength, including friction properties, the intrinsic friction angle, the volumetric strain, and pore-water pressure. The last part of the book discusses soil freezing and permafrost.

Principles of Testing Soils, Rocks and Concrete
Author: T.S. NagarajPublisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0444599134
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 725
Book Description
Soils, rocks and concrete are the principal materials a civil engineer encounters in practice. This book deals with the material analogies, their implications in property characterization, giving attention to similar as well as dissimilar methods in respect of each of these three materials. It provides an integrated, systematic approach for realistic assessment of engineering properties of soils, rocks and concrete. Geotechnical engineers, civil engineers and materials scientists will be interested in this volume.

Selected Geotechnical Papers of James K. Mitchell
Author: James K. MitchellPublisher: ASCE Publications
ISBN: 9780784474990
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 948
Book Description
Sponsored by the Geo-Institute of ASCE. This collections contains 35 key papers by James K. Mitchell during his extraordinary career as a geotechnical engineer.Ø In addition to teaching, Mitchell's career encompassed geotechnical projects ranging from research on hazardous waste landfill stability at Kettleman Hills in California, to lunar soil analysis for NASA Apollo Missions, to working with the Mayor of San Francisco following the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake. He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering and the National Academy of Science. Topics include: experimental and analytic studies of soil behavior related to geotechnical and geo-environmental problems; soil improvement and ground reinforcement, physicochemical phenomena in soils, the stress-strain time behavior of soils, in situ measurement of soil properties, and mitigation of ground failure risk during earthquakes. ASCE's Engineering Classics series presents selected papers of lasting importance by eminent engineers who have made outstanding contributions to their field.
