Soil represents the oldest and most used building material. Current
paradox is that up to now this subject of Earth structures was not
fully covered. This book describes the principles of soil
workability as construction material including two basic forms of
its treatment using geosynthetics and stabilization. It describes
logics of design and control of Earth structures that significantly
differ from other building materials, which brings more uncertainty
and risk. Therefore Earth structures are still offering wider space
for detailing the design and improvement of financial calculations
quality.
Following the general part, where the principles of limit states
according to Eurocode 7 - Geotechnical design are also described in
more detail, the book concentrates on earth structures of
transport, water and environmental projects. The parts devoted to
transport projects covers in more details limit states of stability
and deformation. The part devoted to water engineering prioritizes
the limit state of internal erosion. The part regarding earth
structures of environmental structures describes new phenomenon
where part of the structure is created from non standard materials,
usually susceptible to internal collapse, double porosity,
unsaturation, etc. It also concentrates on protection of the
surrounding from contamination.
The book focuses on the principles, logic of processes,
understanding of the most important problems, so that all
participants of the construction (client, designer, contractor and
supervisor) are able to build these earth structures more safely
and economically.
