Geotechnical Instrumentation and
Applications explains the geotechnical issues
encountered in the implementation of construction projects dealing
with ground, groundwater, and earth infrastructures, including land
reclamations, dams, embankments, landfill construction,
excavations, and tunnelling. The book describes the types of
geotechnical instrumentation available in the market and walks
readers through the geotechnical issues usually encountered in
construction projects and observational methods applying
geotechnical instruments, planning, and implementation of
geotechnical instrumentation projects. Detailed coverage of the
calibration and installation process of geotechnical instruments,
the verification of measured data, and the recording and
documentation of as-built drawings of geotechnical instruments
installed are presented. Coverage also includes methods of
measurement, recommended monitoring frequencies for manual
monitoring and methods of data processing and presentation, as well
as analyses and interpretations of monitored data for performance
assessment. Factors affecting measured instrument data are also
discussed with a few examples. Case studies are presented with
field data collected during the implementation of large-scale
ground improvements and ground engineering projects involving
extensive geotechnical instrumentation works. The book will be an
ideal text for upper-undergraduate and graduate geotechnical
engineering, foundation engineering, and soil mechanics courses and
a hands-on reference for practitioners who apply geotechnical
instrumentation in the construction industry.
Measurement is paired with data as a fundamental domain of K-grade
5 mathematics in the Common Core State Standards, and it is one of
five core content areas in NCTM's Principles and Standards for
School Mathematics. This book presents lively activities that
dovetail with standards and research-based stages of development to
support students' steady growth of understanding of measurement.
With individual chapters for kindergarten through grade 5, A
Pleasure to Measure includes 65 classroom-ready activities on
measurement, along with a summary of learning goals, connections to
children's literature, and ideas for extending beyond the
activities. In each chapter, the authors provide- a collection of
activities for a single level-kindergarten-grade 5; a summary of
level-specific measurement goals and learning trajectory stages;
and a table that matches activities with standards and learning
stages. A Pleasure to Measure will enable you to select activities
quickly, easily, and confidently to target the content that your
students are ready to learn. You'll find everything that you need
in the six E's that the authors detail for each
activity-Essentials, Engage, Explore, Expect, Extend, and Enrich.
