Foundation Upgrading and Repair for Infrastructure Improvement by William F. Kane,John M. Tehaney Pdf

"This proceedings, Foundation Upgrading and Repair for Infrastructure Improvement, consists of papers presented at the poster session held in conjunction with the ASCE National Convention, San Diego, California, October 22-26 1995. It contains papers dealing with several state-of-the-art methods for stabilization of structures undergoing remediation. Topics include jet grouting, instrumentation and testing of a pin pile and tieback anchor insert wall system, an overview of micropile technology, and case studies involving installation and load testing helical anchors."--ABSTRACT. "Foundation upgrading and repair techniques that are thought of as experimental today will become more widely accepted as successful projects are tested. In this volume, contributors examine innovative foundation repair techniques that extend service life and/or increase the load carrying capacity of existing foundation systems. Papers review load tests, as well as provide case studies on helical anchors and jet grouting used for foundation renovation and under-pinning, instrumentation and testing of a pin pile and tieback anchor insert wall system used to stabilize a failing slope, and an international overview of micropile technology."--BOOK JACKET.

Helical Piles by Howard A. Perko Pdf

An unbiased, comprehensive review of helical pile technology and applications Helical piles have risen from being merely an interesting alternative for special cases to a frequently requested, more widely accepted deep foundation adopted into the 2009 International Building Code. The first alternative to manufacturer-produced manuals, Howard Perko's Helical Piles: A Practical Guide to Design and Installation answers the industry's need for an unbiased and universally applicable text dedicated to the design and installation of helical piles, helical piers, screw piles, and torque anchors. Fully compliant with ICC-Evaluation Services, Inc., Acceptance Criteria for Helical Foundation Systems and Devices (AC358), this comprehensive reference guides construction professionals to manufactured helical pile systems and technology, providing objective insights into the benefits of helical pile foundations over driven or cast foundation systems, and recommending applications where appropriate. After introducing the reader to the basic features, terminology, history, and modern applications of helical pile technology, chapters discuss: Installation and basic geotechnics Bearing and pullout capacity Capacity verification through torque Axial load testing, reliability, and sizing Expansive soil and lateral load resistance Corrosion and life expectancy Foundation, earth retention, and underpinning systems Foundation economics Select proprietary systems IBC and NYC Building codes Covering such issues of concern as environmental sustainability, Helical Piles provides contractors and engineers as well as students in civil engineering with a practical, real-world guide to the design and installation of helical piles.

History of Progress by W. Allen Marr Pdf

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.

Structural Analysis of Historic Construction: Preserving Safety and Significance, Two Volume Set by Dina D'Ayala,Enrico Fodde Pdf

The successful preservation of an historic building, complex or city depends on the continued use and daily care that come with it. The possibility of continued use depends on the adaptation of the building to modern standards and practice of living, requiring changes in constructional or structural features. Conservation engineering is the process of understanding, interpreting and managing the architectural heritage to safely deliver it to posterity, enhancing private or public utility vis a vis minimum loss of fabric and significance. These two objectives are sometimes conflicting. With increasing global interest in conservation engineering it is essential to open the debate on more inclusive definitions of significance and on more articulated concepts of safety by use of acceptable and reliable technologies, integrating further the activity of all the professions involved in conservation.
