Earthworks Theory to Practice - Design and Construction

Earthworks Theory to Practice - Design and Construction

Case studies are used to show how theory is applied in practice. In the design and construction process various models are used – geotechnical laboratory analytical delivery and economic models as the project is developed from planning to construction. This book explores the use and limitations of these earthwork models to be understood and appropriately applied. This book evolved from an earthworks course to practicing engineers over a 10-year period. Theory alone is not enough. Experience alone without relating back to theory can sometimes be misleading if transferred without understanding the fundamentals. The book benefited from the experiences of those many practicing engineers and the author’s experience in multi-disciplinary consulting companies as well as specialist geotechnical companies and government departments. The basics of soil rock and compaction mechanics as applied to field conditions are covered. Material typically not covered in other textbooks include the applications and limitations of associated standard laboratory and field testing. Specific chapters are dedicated to excavation subgrade and expansive clay assessment and treatment. Useful design practices as well as the development and application of specifications is covered. A specification test or design in one climatic condition or geology may not apply in another. | Earthworks Theory to Practice - Design and Construction

Understanding Structural Engineering From Theory to Practice

Understanding Structural Engineering From Theory to Practice

In our world of seemingly unlimited computing numerous analytical approaches to the estimation of stress strain and displacement—including analytical numerical physical and analog techniques—have greatly advanced the practice of engineering. Combining theory and experimentation computer simulation has emerged as a third path for engineering design and performance evaluation. As a result structural engineers working in the practical world of engineering must apply and ideally thrive on these idealizations of science-based theories. Analyzing the major achievements in the field Understanding Structural Engineering demonstrates how to bring science to engineering design. This book illustrates:Key conceptual breakthroughs in structural engineering in the twentieth centuryThe science of structural engineering from basic mechanics and computing to the ultimate process of engineering designHow engineers implement theory to practice through idealizations and simplificationsCurrent and future trends in structural engineeringDevelopments and advancements in structural engineering hinge on a few key breakthroughs in concepts simplifications and idealizations. Simplification inherent in the art of structural engineering is a key theme throughout this book. But the authors go further. Their clear explanations of the role and impact of new science-based developments shows you how to put them into practice. | Understanding Structural Engineering From Theory to Practice
