Review — MECÁNICA DE SUELOS — JUÁREZ BADILLO, Tomo 2

Resumen breve

Retaining Walls: Calculating the lateral earth pressure exerted by soil.

Soil Compaction: Techniques and principles of compacting soils to achieve desired engineering properties are probably discussed. Soil compaction is vital for the stability and safety of structures built on or with soils.

  • Shear strength of soils (drained/undrained conditions, Mohr-Coulomb, critical state).
  • Earth pressures (Rankine, Coulomb, rigidity retaining walls).
  • Slope stability (limit equilibrium methods: Bishop, Janbu, Spencer).
  • Bearing capacity (Terzaghi, Meyerhof, Vesic, effect of water table).
  • Settlement analysis (elastic, consolidation theory – 1D/2D/3D, rate of settlement).
  • Lateral earth pressures (braced cuts, sheet piles, anchored walls).
