Introduction to Tunnel Construction (Applied Geotechnics)

Introduction to Tunnel Construction (Applied Geotechnics)

 

This book seeks to provide an introduction to tunnel construction for
people who have little experience of the subject. Tunnelling is an exciting
subject and is unlike any other form of construction, as the ground
surrounding the tunnel is an integral part of the final structure and plays
a pivotal role in its stability. The ‘art’ of tunnelling cannot be learnt purely
from books and a lot of essential decisions are based on engineering
judgement, experience and even emotion. There is often no single answer
to any question: often the response has to be ‘it depends’.
So how can this book help the reader to understand tunnelling? The aim
of the book is to provide the reader with background information so that
he or she can either make an informed decision and/or consult more
specialist references on a specific topic. It will hopefully give the reader the
tools needed to critically assess tunnel construction techniques and to realize
that not all can be learnt from textbooks. In addition, the book hopes to
demonstrate the breadth of the subject and that to become a tunnelling
expert, many years of experience are required.

Tunnelling is an extensive topic and so the objective of this book is to
provide a general knowledge base and guidance for further reading. It not
only concentrates on different tunnel construction techniques but also brings
in associated relevant topics such as site investigation, which have a large
impact on the final tunnel design and its subsequent construction. It is
important to note that tunnels in the context of this book include all types
of tunnels not only the larger-scale metro, road and rail tunnels, but also
utility tunnels for water, sewerage and cables.
This textbook aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to tunnel
construction. It is aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students with
little or no previous experience and knowledge of tunnel construction, as
well as recently graduated engineers who find themselves working in this
exciting field of civil engineering.

Steel Detailers’ Manual

Steel Detailers’ Manual

 

Structural steel has distinct capabilities compared with other construction materials such as reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete, timber and brickwork. In most structures it is used in combination with other materials, the attributes of each combining to form the whole. For example, a factory building will usually be steel framed with foundations, ground and suspended floors of reinforced concrete. Wall cladding might be of brickwork with the roof clad with profiled steel sheeting. Stability of the whole building usually relies upon the steel frame,

sometimes aided by inherent stiffness of floors and cladding. The structural design and detailing of the building must consider this carefully and take into account intended sequences of construction and erection.

Steel is the most versatile of the traditional construction materials and the most reliable in terms of consistent quality. By its very nature it is also the strongest and may be used to span long distances with a relatively low self weight. Using modern techniques for corrosion protection the use of steel provides structures having a long reliable life, and allied with use of fewer internal columns achieves flexibility for future occupancies. Eventually when the useful life of the structure is over, the steelwork may be dismantled and realise a significant residual value not
achieved with alternative materials. There are also many cases where steel frames have been used again, re-erected elsewhere.

Structural steel is a material having very wide capabilities and is compatible with and can be joined to most other materials, including plain concrete, reinforced or prestressed concrete, brickwork, timber, plastics and earthenware. Its co-efficient of thermal expansion is virtually identical with that of concrete so that differential movements from changes in temperature are not a serious consideration when these materials are combined. Steel is often in competition with other materials, particularly structural concrete. For some projects different contractors
often compete to build the structural frame in steel or concrete to maximise use of their own particular skills and resources. This is healthy as a means of maintaining reasonable construction costs. Steel though is able to contribute effectively in almost any structural project  to a significant extent.Steel for structural use is normally hot rolled from billets in the form of flat plate or section at a rolling mill by the steel producer, and then delivered to a steel fabricator’s workshop, where components are manufactured to precise form with connections for joining them together at site.
Frequently used sizes and grades are also supplied by the mills to steel stockholders from whom fabricators may conveniently purchase material at short notice, but often at higher cost. Fabrication involves operations of sawing, shearing, punching, grinding, bending, drilling and
welding to the steel so that it must be suitable for undergoing these processes without detriment to its required properties.

Unified Design of Steel Structures

Unified Design of Steel Structures

 

Study the design of steel building structures per the 2005 unified specification, ANSI/AISC 360-05 Specification for Structural Steel Buildings with this key resource. Author Louis F. Geschwindner first builds the foundation for steel design and then explores the various member types in more detail. He provides guidance for those new to the field as well as an excellent review for practicing engineers looking to learn the provisions of the unified specification and to convert their practice from the old specifications to the new one.

Content :
Introduction
Loads, Load Factors, and Load Combinations
Steel Building Materials
Tension Members
Compression Members
Bending Members in Structures
Plate Girders
Beam-Columns and Frame Behavior
Composite Construction
Connection Elements
Simple Connections
Moment Connections
Steel Systems for Seismic Resistance

Chapter 1 includes an expanded discussion of structural integrity along with a discussion of the timing of adoption of the new provisions into the International Building Code. The integrated project introduced in this chapter for use throughout the book has been relocated to a new city from the 2nd edition and the framing system modified. This will provide new homework options for those who have implemented this project. A computer model using the RAM Structural System will be available on the book website to support inclusion of the integrated project in courses. Finally, an expanded discussion of reliability and statistics as it applies to structural steel design has been included.
Chapter 2 provides an expanded discussion of snow, wind and seismic loads and additional calculations for these environmental loads using ASCE 7.
Chapter 3 discusses the new steels approved by the 2016 Specification and the new approach taken by ASTM to the specification of high strength bolts.
Chapter 4 addresses tension members. The provisions have not changed, but there has been a revision in standard hole sizes for bolts. These new sizes have been implemented in the examples where appropriate.
Chapter 5 looks at compression members, and the Specification nomenclature change of KL to Lc has been implemented. A section and an example have been added to address gravity-only columns and their influence on the effective length of columns in lateral load resisting systems. The completely new approach for treatment of columns with slender elements, introduced with the 2016 Specification, is addressed. Single angle compression members and built-up compression members are discussed and examples provided.
Chapter 6 on flexural members includes a discussion of the shape factor and its significance. The use of Manual Table 3-10, the beam curves, with Cb not equal to 1.0, is expanded and a new example is included to illustrate the use of Manual Table 3-2, the economy tables, for noncompact beams. The treatment of tees, single angles and double angle beams has been expanded and examples included. Determination of shear strength for wide-flange members when the reduced resistance factor or increased safety factor must be used is now illustrated.
Chapter 7 addresses plate girders as doubly symmetric I-shapes built up from plates. It now includes a discussion of these plate girders with compact webs. The completely revised treatment of shear in plate girders included in the 2016 Specification has been incorporated, and the corresponding stiffener design has been expanded.

Advanced Concrete Technology Processes

Advances in Water Resources Engineering

 

The past 35 + years have seen the emergence of a growing desire worldwide that
positive actions be taken to restore and protect the environment from the degrading
effects of all forms of pollution—air, water, soil, thermal, radioactive, and noise.
Since pollution is a direct or indirect consequence of waste, the seemingly idealistic
demand for “zero discharge” can be construed as an unrealistic demand for zero
waste. However, as long as waste continues to exist, we can only attempt to abate
the subsequent pollution by converting it into a less noxious form. Three major
questions usually arise when a particular type of pollution has been identified: (1)
How serious are the environmental pollution and water resources crisis? (2) Is the
technology to abate them available? And (3) do the costs of abatement justify the
degree of abatement achieved for environmental protection and water resources
conservation? This book is one of the volumes of the Handbook of Environmental
Engineering series. The principal intention of this series is to help readers formulate
answers to the above three questions.The traditional approach of applying tried-and-true solutions to specific environmental
and water resources problems has been a major contributing factor to the
success of environmental engineering, and has accounted in large measure for the
establishment of a “methodology of pollution control.” However, the realization
of the ever-increasing complexity and interrelated nature of current environmental
problems renders it imperative that intelligent planning of pollution abatement
systems be undertaken. Prerequisite to such planning is an understanding of the
performance, potential, and limitations of the various methods of environmental
protection available for environmental scientists and engineers. In this series of
handbooks, we will review at a tutorial level a broad spectrum of engineering systems
(natural environment, processes, operations, and methods) currently being utilized,
or of potential utility, for pollution abatement and environmental protection.
We believe that the unified interdisciplinary approach presented in these handbooks
is a logical step in the evolution of environmental engineering.
Treatment of the various engineering systems presented will show how an engineering
formulation of the subject flows naturally from the fundamental principles
and theories of chemistry, microbiology, physics, and mathematics. This emphasis
on fundamental science recognizes that engineering practice has in recent years
become more firmly based on scientific principles rather than on its earlier dependency
on empirical accumulation of facts. It is not intended, though, to neglect
empiricism where such data lead quickly to the most economic design; certain engineering
systems are not readily amenable to fundamental scientific analysis, and in
these instances we have resorted to less science in favor of more art and empiricism.
Since an environmental water resources engineer must understand science within
the context of applications, we first present the development of the scientific
basis of a particular subject, followed by exposition of the pertinent design concepts
and operations, and detailed explanations of their applications to environmental
conservation or protection. Throughout the series, methods of mathematical modeling,
system analysis, practical design, and calculation are illustrated by numerical
examples. These examples clearly demonstrate how organized, analytical reasoning
leads to the most direct and clear solutions. Wherever possible, pertinent cost data
have been provided.Our treatment of environmentalwater resources engineering is offered in the belief
that the trained engineer should more firmly understand fundamental principles,
be more aware of the similarities and/or differences among many of the engineering
systems, and exhibit greater flexibility and originality in the definition and innovative
solution of environmental system problems. In short, the environmental and
water resources engineers should by conviction and practice be more readily adaptable
to change and progress.

Examples in Structural Analysis Second Edition

Examples in Structural Analysis Second Edition

The design of structures, of which analysis is an integral part, is frequently undertaken
using computer software. This can only be done safely and effectively if those undertaking
the design fully understand the concepts, principles and assumptions on which the
computer software is based. It is vitally important therefore that design engineers develop
this knowledge and understanding by studying and using hand-methods of analysis based
on the same concepts and principles, e.g. equilibrium, energy theorems, elastic,
elasto-plastic and plastic behaviour and mathematical modelling.
In addition to providing a mechanism for developing knowledge and understanding,
hand-methods also provide a useful tool for readily obtaining approximate solutions during
preliminary design and an independent check on the answers obtained from computer
analyses.

The methods explained and illustrated in this text, whilst not exhaustive, include those
most widely used in typical design offices, e.g. method-of-sections/joint resolution/unit
load/McCaulay’s method/moment distribution/plastic analysis etc.
In Chapter 7 a résumé is given of the direct stiffness method; the technique used in
developing most computer software analysis packages. The examples and problems in this
case have been restricted and used to illustrate the processes undertaken when using
matrix analysis; this is not regarded as a hand-method of analysis.

Dams and Appurtenant Hydraulic Structures

Dams and Appurtenant Hydraulic Structures

Water, one of the few natural resources without which there is no life, is distributed
throughout the world unevenly in terms of place, season and quality. For this reason it
is essential to construct dams on rivers, thus forming reservoirs for the storage and the
even use of water. To date, forty-two thousand large dams have been built worldwide,
and hundreds of thousands of smaller ones, which have made possible a rational use
of a certain amount of river water – the most important water resource for human
life and activity. Dams, together with their appurtenant hydraulic structures, belong
among the most complex engineering works, above all because of their interaction with
the water, their great influence on the environment and their high cost. Therefore great
significance is given to theoretical research relating to dams, to improving the methods
of analysing and constructing them, and to the knowledge gained in the course of their
exploitation. In the past forty years great progress has been made in this respect.

Water plays an exceptionally significant role in the economy and in the life of all coun-
tries. It is of crucial importance to the existence of people, animals, and vegetation. The
settling of people in different regions of the Earth has always been closely dependant
on the possibilities for water supply, parallel with those for providing food, shelter,
and heat. The increase in population, as well as the development and enrichment of
mankind, in a number of places has reached a level at which the water supply, needed
for the population, industry, irrigation, and production of electric power, has been

brought to a critical point.

On the other hand, reserves of water on Earth are very large. They have been
estimated to amount to 1.45 billion km3 (Grishin et al., 1979). If we assume that
the above quantity of water is uniformly spread over the Earth’s surface, then the
thickness of such a water layer would be almost 3,000 m. As much as 90% of that
quantity is attributable to the water of oceans and seas, while the remainder of barely
10% belongs to lakes, rivers, underground waters, and glaciers, as well as moisture
from water in the atmosphere. Only 1/5 of the freshwater, which is suitable for man’s
life and activities, is available for use.

Concrete Construction Engineering Handbook

Concrete Construction Engineering Handbook

Portland cement concrete is a composite material made by combining cement, supplementary cementing materials, aggregates, water, and chemical admixtures in suitable proportions and allowing the resulting mixture to set and harden over time.
Because hardened concrete is a relatively brittle material with a low tensile strength,
strength, steel reinforcing bars and sometimes discontinuous fibers are used in structural concrete to provide some tensile load-bearing capacity and to increase the toughness of the material.
In this chapter, we deal with some of the basic constituents: cements, aggregates, water, steel reinforcement, and fiber reinforcement.
Chemical admixtures and supplementary cementing materials (often referred to as mineral admixtures) are covered in Chapter 2.
It must be emphasized that choosing the appropriate
