These types of soils can give rise to geotechnical problems in the area of sampling, settlement, stability, in situ testing, stabilisation and construction. There is therefore a tendency to either avoid build

Geotechnics of Venice and Its Lagoon

by Paolo Simonini

Without any protective intervention, the historic city of Venice and its surrounding islands would suffer rapid deterioration due to the increased frequency of tidal flooding, as the gap between land surface and sea levels has reduced due to a coupled effect of climate change-induced sea-level rise and natural and anthropic subsidence. Geotechnics of Venice and Its Lagoon provides a clear and comprehensive illustration of the extensive geotechnical aspects of not only the various environmental problems such as land subsidence and wetland surface reduction, but also solutions such as the design of the tilting gate foundations against high tides and the restoration and improvement of the drainage system of the renowned Piazza San Marco, which have been necessary for the preservation of the extraordinary cultural heritage of Venice. Readers will gain a better understanding of the complex phenomena occurring in the sensitive Venice silts, whose hydro-mechanical behavior has required comprehensive laboratory and site investigations and modeling. The book provides: An authoritative analysis of one of the largest and most important geotechnical issues in the world A description of a detailed case study of an ongoing engineering solution The book will be useful for engineers worldwide, and is also an excellent reference for students.

Geotechnische Klassifikationen von Festgesteinen und Festgebirgen

by Ulrich Sebastian Bernd Müller Uwe Pippig

In diesem Fachbuch werden spezifische Eigenschaften der Gesteine und des Gebirges betrachtet, die sich aufgrund ihrer Quantifizierbarkeit für eine Klassifikation eignen. Trotz (und gerade wegen) einer großen Vielfalt an Normen (DIN, ISO, Taschenbücher) herrschen in der Geotechnik zuweilen Unsicherheiten bei der korrekten Klassifikation und Einschätzung von Festgesteinen. Es werden z.T. überraschende Zusammenhänge zwischen verschiedenen physikalischen Eigenschaften und Kennwerten aufgedeckt und erstmals quantitativ dargelegt. Das Buch verfolgt damit zwei Ziele. Erstens soll es zu einem besseren Verständnis der physikalischen Eigenschaften der Gesteine im Festgebirge führen. Darüber hinaus soll es zweitens Nachschlagewerk der nutzbaren Parameter bei der Klassifikation und Einordnung der Festgesteine und Festgebirge in der Praxis sein.

Geotechnische Messgeräte und Feldversuche im Fels

by Edwin Fecker

Geotechnische Messungen liefern wichtige Werte über den Untergrund. Diese Werte bilden die Basis für die Planung von Bauwerken. Die häufigsten Schäden am Bau beruhen erfahrungsgemäß nicht auf Rechenfehlern, sondern auf falschen Annahmen für die Baugrundeigenschaften. Selbst wenn der Baugrund sorgfältig untersucht wurde, sollte die Qualität der Konstruktion und der Gründung durch Messungen nachgewiesen bzw. gesichert werden.Dieses Buch stellt die verschiedenen geotechnischen Instrumente vor, die zur Untersuchung des Untergrundes und der Konstruktion verwendet werden. Neben einer detaillierten Beschreibung der Messmethoden, liefert das Buch eine Anleitung dafür was beim Einsatz des jeweiligen Instrumentes beachtet werden muss. Die zweite Auflage dieses Fachbuches wurde gründlich überarbeitet und dem neusten Stand der Technik angepasst. Sie enthält im Anhang praktische Beispiele für Ausschreibungstexte und eine aktuelle Liste der Technischen Empfehlungen und DIN-Normen.
