Field Performance of Structures and Nondestructive Evaluation of SubsurfaceInfrastructure. Soils, Geology, and Foundations

摘要

The 13 papers in this volume are related to geotechnical and structuralengineering. The first eight papers present recent findings on soil-structure interaction as evaluated on the basis of field behavior. Diverse structures are covered, including bridge abutments, pipelines, cut-and-cover tunnels, and large span culverts. The four papers present information on nondestructive testing of infrastructure, including emerging and advanced technologies and case histories. The last paper describes the development and evaluation of the Tensioned Wire System for monitoring horizonal and vertical movement in a tunnel.
