Seepage in Soils

Principles and Applications

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Buildings, roads, tunnels, foundations and groundwater are all affected by soil seepage, and every engineer working on projects in these areas must understand the basics and fine points of seepage. Seepage in Soils: Principles and Applications combines a broad range of practical applications with the rigorous quantitative skills needed to master the material, including exercises in seepage quantification, seepage forces, geosynthetics, dewatering, and wastewater.

Up-to-date coverage of fundamental seepage principles, closed-form solutions, and applications
Seepage in Soils combines a broad range of applications with rigorous quantitative skills to give insight into the fundamental principles and mathematical solutions of seepage. A wealth of closed-form analytical solutions are provided to solve a variety of problems, minimizing the use of computer software and numerical models.
Completely up to date with coverage of new developments in separators, filters, and geosynthetics, this textbook includes exercises in seepage quantification, seepage forces, and dewatering. Complete coverage is useful in all subdivisions of civil engineering. Material is divided into three modules:
_ Principles and mathematical solutions
_ Filters and drainage layers
_ Applications
Only a nominal background in mathematics and soil mechanics is required for Seepage in Soils to serve as an invaluable resource for civil engineering students across many subdisciplines. In addition, it serves as a useful reference for geotechnical, environmental, and structural engineers, hydrologists, geologists, agronomists, and soil scientists.
