Construction and Geotechnical Methods in Foundation Engineering (MCGRAW HILL SERIES IN CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT)

Science & Math

Koerner, Robert M.

Mcgraw-Hill College

Focuses on actual, state-of-the-art design/construction procedures as opposed to a discussion of solid waste management issues and to general descriptions and/or conceptual designs. Provides an integrated package of analytical tools, design equations, and step-by-step construction procedures for all elements of a landfill, giving the reader a better sense of the necessary site investigation, planning, analysis, and organization that go into a landfill design and construction project. The characteristics of landfill containment envelopes and their design/construction are treated in detail. Physico-chemical and engineering properties of solid waste that are relevant and important to landfill design and construction are tabulated and described. Includes explanation of how to evaluate and assess potential problems that affect landfill performance such as sideslope stability, settlement, containment effectiveness, and erosion control. Discusses vertical landfill expansion; how leachate moves across a liner or barrier under both advection and diffusion; compares the containment effectiveness of different liner systems to the combined advective-diffusive transport of dissolved leachate solutes. Includes a detailed explanation with numerical examples and calculations of how to design a gas collection and piping system in a landfill—including the collection and handling of condensate in the gas. Detailed installation and inspection guidelines are provided for both earthen and geosynthetic liner/cover systems—comparing the relative advantages and limitations of each. For professional training courses in Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering.

Geosynthetic materials have entered the mainstream in the professional arena and are no longer considered new construction material. Professionals need to keep up with the nuances of how geosynthetics work. Emphasizes design by function; overviews all types of geosynthetics, with stand-alone units on particular materials. Uses S.I. units for all problems and examples. Expands coverage of containers and tubes in the geotextile chapter. Discusses walls and slope design, including seismic analysis, in the geogrid chapter. Treats wet landfills, agricultural waste, waste stability, and dam waterproofing in the geomembrane chapter. Discusses new products and related performances in the geosynthetic clay liner chapter. Discusses new products and related behavior, including fiber reinforcement and wall drainage, in the geocomposite chapter. Adds a completely new chapter on geofoam. A useful reference for transportation, geotechnical, environmental, and hydraulics professionals and engineers.

Designing with Geosynthetics

Still the only book on geosynthetics, this updated edition covers the latest materials and design techniques. Emphasizing design-by-function, it examines all types of geosynthetics, including geotextiles, geogrids, geonets, geomembranes, and geocomposites. KEY TOPICS: Introducing theory and techniques of chemical analysis for identifying polymer types and properties, the book covers a wide range of applications, including geotextile wall design, geogrid wall design, geomembrane side slope design, and GCL hydraulic barrier design. The book also covers geosynthetic clay lines (GCLs) and devotes an entire chapter to geopipe. It introduces design, testing, and selection of geosynthetics on a generic, rather than product-specific basis. It also provides an updated Product Reference Guide (through the Industrial fabrics Association International). The fourth edition of Designing with Geosynthetics has been revised to include the most up-to-date information as well as new examples covering transportation and geotechnical applications. An essential reference on geosynthetics for all practicing engineers.

Designing with Geosynthetics (4th Edition)

Koerner's Third Edition keeps pace with the fast-moving field of geosynthetics by updating coverage to include the latest materials and design techniques. It examines all types of geosynthetics-geotextiles, geogrids, geonets, geomembrane, and goecomposites with an emphasis on design-by-function.

Provides technical guidance for ensuring construction quality control and assurance (CQC/CQA) and manufacturing quality assurance and control (MQA/MQC) of compacted soil liners, drainage systems, vertical wall cutoffs, and geosynthetics for waste containment facilities. Details steps for formulating a successful CQC/CQA program, and describes tests, standards, and observations for the various materials and processes used at all types of facilities. Contains b&amp;w photos and a glossary. Of interest to professionals in design, construction, permitting, and operation of waste-containment facilities. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.

Introduces civil engineers to the processing, manufacture, characteristics, and structural applications of polymer resins and the geosynthetic products made from them. Among the resins discussed are polyethylene manufactured by slurry polymerization, isotactic and flexible polypropylene, specialty resins such as CSPE and KEE, polyvinyl chloride, and virgin and recycled polyester. Most of the 26 papers describe the manufacture of products such as extruded and textured membranes, extruded pipes and tubes, spunbound and woven textiles, and erosion-control materials.
