SCRAP TIRE DERIVED GEOMATERIALS is a compilation of peer-reviewed papers presented at the International Workshop on Scrap Tire Derived Geomaterials (IW-TDGM 2007) in Yokosuka, Japan in March 2007.The workshop was the first ever international forum on scrap tire derived geomaterials (TDGM), bringing together people from various disciplines working in industry, academia and public sector to discuss the latest ideas and development in the field, and disseminating information about experiments, numerical modeling, design and practical applications related to scrap tire derived geomaterials (TDGM).In recent years emerging geomaterials derived from scrap tires have been receiving increasing attention and gaining acceptance as suitable and alternative geomaterials worldwide, since they provide cost-effective solutions to many practical problems.This book presents current research and describes advances. It reflects the international significance of such recycle materials and discusses the use of whole tires, tire shreds and tire chips, as well as tire chips mixed with soils and/or treated materials. SCRAP TIRE DERIVED GEOMATERIALS also includes discussion about the geoenvironmental impact and assessment, with case studies, novel concepts and field applications. It also contains information pertaining to mechanical properties and modeling. SCRAP TIRE DERIVED GEOMATERIALS provides a wealth of knowledge and information. It promotes the geotechnical approach for material recycling of tire derived geomaterials, contributing to a sustainable global environment. This book is aimed at people working in industry, academia and public sector, related to geotechnical engineering,waste reuse and management, sustainable construction and cost-performance.

How Does Soil Behave and Why Does It Behave That Way?Soil Mechanics Fundamentals and Applications, Second Edition effectively explores the nature of soil, explains the principles of soil mechanics, and examines soil as an engineering material. This latest edition includes all the fundamental concepts of soil mechanics, as well as an introduction to foundation engineering, including coverage of site exploration, shallow and deep foundation design, and slope stability. It presents the material in a systematic, step-by-step manner, and contains numerous problems, examples, and solutions.New to the Second Edition:The revised text expands the contents to include an introductory foundation engineering section to make the book cover the full range of geotechnical engineering. The book includes three new chapters: Site Exploration, Deep Foundations, and Slope Stability.This text: Provides an introductory chapter on soil mechanicsExplores the origin and description of soils and discusses soil shapes and gradationsPresents the unique characteristics of claysDetails soil classifications by the Unified Soil Classification System (also ASTM) and by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO)Highlights laboratory and field compaction techniques, including field specification and density testing,, and the CBR (California Bearing Ratio) methodDiscusses the flow of water through soils, defining hydraulic heads, as well as the two-dimensional flow net technique and a systematic approach to compute boundary water pressuresExamines the concept of effective stress and its applications to various soil mechanics problemsExplores stress increments in a soil mass due to various types of footing load on the groundPresents Terzaghi’s one-dimensional consolidation theory and its applicationsCovers Mohr’s circle from geotechnical perspectives with use of the pole, which is utilized in chapters relating to shear strength and lateral earth pressureAddresses the shear strength of soils, failure criteria, and laboratory as well as field shear strength determination techniquesEvaluates at-rest earth pressure and the classic Rankine and Coulomb active and passive pressure theories and present critical review of those methodsReviews introductory foundation engineering and site explorationDescribes the bearing capacity theory and, as an application, the shallow foundation design procedureCovers deep and shallow foundation design proceduresExplains slope stability problems and remediation procedures, and more Soil Mechanics Fundamentals and Applications, Second Edition is aconcise and thorough text that explains soil’s fundamental behavior and its applications to foundation designs and slope stability problems and incorporates basic engineering science knowledge with engineering practices and practical applications.

This book is a collection of papers presented at the International Workshop on Geotechnical Natural Hazards held July 12–15, 2014, in Kitakyushu, Japan. The workshop was the sixth in the series of Japan–Taiwan Joint Workshops on Geotechnical Hazards from Large Earthquakes and Heavy Rainfalls, held under the auspices of the Asian Technical Committee No. 3 on Geotechnology for Natural Hazards of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering. It was co-organized by the Japanese Geotechnical Society and the Taiwanese Geotechnical Society. The contents of this book focus on geotechnical and natural hazard-related issues in Asia such as earthquakes, tsunami, rainfall-induced debris flows, slope failures, and landslides. The book contains the latest information and mitigation technology on earthquake- and rainfall-induced geotechnical natural hazards. By dissemination of the latest state-of-the-art research in the area, the information contained in this book will help researchers, designers, consultants, government officials, and academicians involved in the mitigation of natural hazards. The findings and other information provided here is expected to contribute toward the development of a new chapter in disaster prevention and mitigation of geotechnical structures.
