Your guide to the design and construction of foundations on
expansive soils Foundation Engineering for Expansive Soils fills a
significant gap in the current literature by presenting coverage of
the design and construction of foundations for expansive soils.
Written by an expert author team with nearly 70 years of combined
industry experience, this important new work is the only modern
guide to the subject, describing proven methods for identifying and
analyzing expansive soils and developing foundation designs
appropriate for specific locations. Expansive soils are found
worldwide and are the leading cause of damage to structural roads.
The primary problem that arises with regard to expansive soils is
that deformations are significantly greater than in non-expansive
soils and the size and direction of the deformations are difficult
to predict. Now, Foundation Engineering for Expansive Soils gives
engineers and contractors coverage of this subject from a design
perspective, rather than a theoretical one. Plus, they'll have
access to case studies covering the design and construction of
foundations on expansive salts from both commercial and residential
projects. * Provides a succinct introduction to the basics of
expansive soils and their threats * Includes information on both
shallow and deep foundation design * Profiles soil remediation
techniques, backed-up with numerous case studies * Covers the most
commonly used laboratory tests and site investigation techniques
used for establishing the physical properties of expansive soils If
you're a practicing civil engineer, geotechnical engineer or
contractor, geologist, structural engineer, or an upper-level
undergraduate or graduate student of one of these disciplines,
Foundation Engineering for Expansive Soils is a must-have addition
to your library of resources.
Essential technical information for building on expansive soils
--complete with practical, proven design methods.
Expansive Soils examines factors that influence the design of
foundations and pavements built on expansive soils, and explores
key design procedures and remedial measures that address these
factors effectively. Backed by the authors' extensive research and
experience --including interviews with practicing engineers working
with expansive soils --this authoritative volume is an important
reference text for geotechnical and foundation engineers,
geologists, construction professionals, and students.
Easy to understand and apply, Expansive Soils contains:
* Site investigation techniques for identification and
classification of expansive soils
* Heave prediction methods using different types of data --with
rigorous treatment of soil suction theory and measurement,
oedometer tests, and more
* Alternative design procedures for drilled pier and slab-on-grade
foundations, highway and airfield pavements
* Treatment and chemical stabilization techniques --including salt
treatment; moisture barriers; lime and cement stabilization; and
other procedures
* Remedial measures such as drainage control, and removal with
replacement and compaction control
* Sample problems illustrating practical applications.

Emelie is betrothed to marry the dark elf king. Any ordinary woman
would consider it a faerytale come true. For Emelie, this is a
nightmare made manifest. When Emelie Andersdotter learns the
outcome of a decades-long war hinges on her arranged marriage to an
infamous royal known for his dark reputation, she sees no choice
but to accept her fate. Resigned to her unavoidable destiny, she
travels to her parents' ancestral home under the protection of a
trusted family friend, where she prepares to navigate a world ruled
by dark magic, mystery, and intrigue. Nothing can prepare her,
however, for the surprising affection she feels for the man she has
always thought of as her uncle, Soren Vidar - or for the alluring
reality of her intended mate, Kristian Vasen. Powerful and darkly
handsome, her betrothed is far from the nightmare she envisioned,
and Emelie finds herself torn between the intense pull she feels
for her fated mate, and her heart's desire for Soren. Night
Aberrations is a romantic tale, set in a complex world, populated
with interesting and entertaining characters sure to leave you
cheering for the heroes while casting reproachful glares at the
villains.
