Modern Geotechnical Methods: Instrumentation and Vibratory Hammers, 1990

摘要

The 19 papers included in the Record are of interest to geotechnical andfoundation engineers. The first 13 papers are on geotechnical instrumentation used for design and monitoring of construction and performance of transportation facilities. The next four papers contain discussions of laboratory and field performance of vibratory-driven piles. Also included in the Record are papers by Brown on drilled shaft construction and by Juang and Ulshafer on an expert system for pile selection. Of the first 13 papers on geotechnical instrumentation, 4 are on investigation of swelling clays; the next 6 are on monitoring and analysis of data on construction, settlement, and performance of caissons, culverts, tunnels, and so forth; and the remaining 3 are on the instrumentation of geosynthetics used in earthworks.
