Description
Modern applications of geotechnical engineering and construction
Edited by: Mahdi O. Karkush, Deepankar Choudhury
Modern applications of geotechnical engineering and construction contains select papers from the International Conference on Geotechnical Engineering Iraq discussing the challenges, opportunities, and problems of application of geotechnical engineering in projects.
The contents cover a wide spectrum of themes in geotechnical engineering, including but not limited to sustainability & geotechnical engineering, modeling of foundations & slope stability, seismic analysis & soil mechanics, construction materials, and construction & management of projects.
Modern applications of geotechnical engineering and construction will prove a valuable resource for practicing engineers and researchers in the field of geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, and construction and management of projects.
The book-Modern applications of geotechnical engineering and construction:
Comprises select peer-reviewed proceedings of the conference ICGE Iraq
Enriches understanding in the interdisciplinary field of Structural Engineering
Covers latest research in modeling of foundations & slope stability, seismic analysis & soil mechanics, construction & management of projects, etc.
Constructing embankments or multi-story structures can induce lateral soil movement especially for cohesionless soil due to its weak structure.
In case of having these constructions near an existing pile group, damage can occur to these piles due to the passive loads induced by the soil movement especially when these loads exceed the capacity of the piles.
In the current study, the performance of the existing flexible (2 × 1) pile group installed in cohesionless soil has been investigated experimentally under the effect of lateral soil movement induced by a nearby embankment.
To simulate the cohesionless soil, a sandy soil having a dry unit weight of 13.5 kN/m3 has been used in this study.
