Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sponsored by the Geo-Institute of ASCE This collection of 78 historical papers provides a wide view of the rich body of literature that documents the development of fundamental concepts geotechnical engineering and their application to practical problems. From the highly theoretical to the elegantly practical, the papers in this one-of-a-kind collection are significant for their contributions to the geotechnical engineering literature. Among the writings of more than 60 geotechnical engineering pioneers are several by Karl Terzaghi, widely known as the father of soil mechanics, R.R. Proctor, Arthur Casagrande, and Ralph Peck. Many of these papers contain information as useful today as when they were first written. Others provide great insight into the origins and development of the field and the thought processes of its leaders.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to liability issues, landfills are no longer considered the best method of waste disposal. Innovative, safe disposal methods for large quantities of contaminated soils and waste are sought by engineers. In urban or industrial areas with most of the contamination, it has become very attractive to engineer contaminated soils and waste by physical or chemical methods and reuse them as construction materials. This proceedings addresses the following: the creation of useful products from contaminated soils and waste; changes in soil or waste properties after processing; logistics of the operations; and the regulatory issues associated with such usage. While alternative methods of disposal are being utilized, civil engineers are still involved in the development of large containment systems and must continue to increase their knowledge of these systems. Solid-waste landfills are made of multi-layered soil and geosynthetic liner systems underlying the fills and providing surface coverage. to a large degree by the shear strengths developed at interfaces between the soils and the geosynthetics forming part of either the liner or the cover systems. In this proceedings, recent research efforts to measure the interface strength between geomembranes and soils are presented.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effects of time on the strength and deformation characteristics of various materials can assume importance in a variety of engineering problems. The time dependent mechanical behavior of soil is highly complex and can impact a broad range of applications such as in situ testing, seismic response, landslides, and embankment performance. This volume provides an update on the state of research and practice in the area of soil time effects. Emphasis is placed on laboratory and field developments, modeling time dependent behavior, rate dependence in a variety of soils, from subtropical soils to subglacial till, and on new applications such as soils reinforced with geosynthetics and inclusion dowels. Models are provided that include the influence of soil structure.
