Earth Structures (eBook, PDF)

In Transport, Water and Environmental Engineering

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Soil is the oldest and most used building material, but until the publication of this book the subject of Earth structures was not fully covered. This text describes the principles of soil workability as construction material, including its treatment using geosynthetics and stabilization. The logic of design and control of Earth structures differs significantly from other building materials, resulting in more uncertainty and risk. Following a description of the principals of limit states according to Eurocode 7 - Geotechnical design, the book concentrates on earth structures of transport, water and environmental projects. The book focuses on the principles, logic of processes, and understanding of the most important problems, so that all participants in the construction (client, designer, contractor and supervisor) are able to build these earth structures more safely and economically.
