Zusammenfassung: The definitive guide to unsaturated soil- from the world's experts on the subject This book builds upon and substantially updates Fredlund and Rahardjo's publication, Soil Mechanics for Unsaturated Soils, the current standard in the field of unsaturated soils. It provides readers with more thorough coverage of the state of the art of unsaturated soil behavior and better reflects the manner in which practical unsaturated soil engineering problems are solved. Retaining the fundamental physics of unsaturated soil behavior presented in the earlier book, this new publication places greater emphasis on the importance of the "soil-water characteristic curve" in solving practical engineering problems, as well as the quantification of thermal and moisture boundary conditions based on the use of weather data. Topics covered include: Theory to Practice of Unsaturated Soil Mechanics Nature and Phase Properties of Unsaturated Soil State Variables for Unsaturated Soils Measurement and Estimation of State Variables Soil-Water Characteristic Curves for Unsaturated Soils Ground Surface Moisture Flux Boundary Conditions Theory of Water Flow through Unsaturated Soils Solving Saturated/Unsaturated Water Flow Problems Air Flow through Unsaturated Soils Heat Flow Analysis for Unsaturated Soils Shear Strength of Unsaturated Soils Shear Strength Applications in Plastic and Limit Equilibrium Stress-Deformation Analysis for Unsaturated Soils Solving Stress-Deformation Problems with Unsaturated Soils Compressibility and Pore Pressure Parameters Consolidation and Swelling Processes in Unsaturated Soils Unsaturated Soil Mechanics in Engineering Practice is essential reading for geotechnical engineers, civil engineers, and undergraduate- and graduate-level civil engineering students with a focus on soil mechanics.Zusammenfassung: Intro -- Unsaturated Soil Mechanics in Engineering Practice -- Contents -- Foreword -- Preface -- Acknowledgments -- Chapter 1 Theory to Practice of Unsaturated Soil Mechanics -- 1.1 Introduction -- 1.1.1 Application of Unsaturated Soil Mechanics in Engineering Practice -- 1.1.2 Scope of the Book -- 1.1.3 Gradual Emergence of Unsaturated Soil Mechanics -- 1.1.4 Challenges to Implementation -- 1.1.5 Laboratory and Field Visualization of Degree of Saturation -- 1.2 Moisture and Thermal Flux Boundary Conditions -- 1.2.1 Quantification of Moisture and Thermal Boundary Fluxes -- 1.3 Determination of Unsaturated Soil Properties -- 1.3.1 Estimation Procedures for Unsaturated Soil Properties -- 1.3.2 Design Protocols for Unsaturated Soil Properties -- 1.4 Stages in Moving Toward Implementation -- 1.4.1 State Variable Stage -- 1.4.2 Constitutive Stage -- 1.4.3 Formulation Stage -- 1.4.4 Solution Stage -- 1.4.5 Design Stage -- 1.4.6 Verification and Monitoring Stage -- 1.4.7 Implementation Stage -- 1.5 Need for Unsaturated Soil Mechanics -- 1.5.1 Application Areas for Unsaturated Soil Mechanics -- 1.5.2 Construction and Operation of a Dam -- 1.5.3 Natural Slopes Subjected to Environmental Changes -- 1.5.4 Mounding Below Waste Retention Ponds -- 1.5.5 Stability of Vertical or Near-Vertical Excavations -- 1.5.6 Bearing Capacity for Shallow Foundations -- 1.5.7 Ground Movements Involving Expansive Soils -- 1.5.8 Design of Soil Cover Systems and Capillary Breaks -- 1.5.9 Road and Railroad Structures -- 1.5.10 Characteristics of Unsaturated Soil Examples -- 1.6 Partial Differential Equations in Soil Mechanics -- 1.6.1 Components of Boundary Value Problem -- 1.6.2 Partial Differential Equation Solving -- 1.6.3 Convergence of Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations -- 1.6.4 Uncoupled Processes in Unsaturated Soil Mechanics.PPN: PPN: 809805294Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-26-MYL | ZDB-30-PAD | ZDB-30-PQE
