Riguardo questo articolo

Hardcover. This work describes the equipment, methods, and techniques used for measurement of soil pressure for monitoring soil-structure interaction. It is based on results of of large-scale tests and field experiments that have been conducted by Dr. Lazebnik and his colleagues over a 50 year period. The book incorporates original data and emphasizes a practical approach to developing, calibrating, and installing soil pressure measuring devices for monitoring soil-structure interaction. It offers numerous practical examples where these devices of miscellaneous designs can be used. Some of the highlights in the book include: soil pressure measuring methods and instruments; calibration apparatuses and methods of calibration of soil pressure cells; errors in measuring of soil pressures at soil-structure interface and in a soil mass; examples of large-scale and field investigation of soil-structure interaction; lateral soil pressures against "stiff" and "flexible" retaining structures. Gregory Tsinker brings his extensive knowledge of structural engineering and geotechnical design to his translation of George E. Monitoring of Soil-Structure Interaction is aimed at professional geotechnical and foundation engineers who deal with soil-foundation interaction, soil pressure distribution, or ground monitoring instruments.

Riassunto

Gregory Tsinker brings his extensive knowledge of structural engineering and geotechnical design to his translation of George E. Lazebnik's work on soil-structure interaction. Monitoring of Soil-Structure Interaction is aimed at professional geotechnical and foundation engineers who deal with soil-foundation interaction, soil pressure distribution, or ground monitoring instruments. This book will incorporate original data and emphasize practical, mathematical models for measuring soil pressure on the foundations of a structure. Readers will be able to compare their calibrated measurements to the data presented in the book.
