Title: GUIDE TO EARTHWORK CONSTRUCTION
Accession Number: 00496761
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The purpose of this Guide is to provide construction engineers and technicians with information on all aspects of earthwork construction. Although it is not intended to be a design manual, it does contain considerable background on the design concepts that are necessary for good earthwork construction. The Guide is divided into ten chapters as follows: Introduction, R.D. Holtz; History of Embankment Construction, W.G. Weber, Jr.; Compaction Concepts, R.D. Holtz; Earthwork Construction, W.C. Waidelich; Drainage, H.H. Ridgeway; Embankment Foundations, F. Ariema and B.E. Butler; Earthwork for Retaining Structures and Abutments, T.H. Wu, N.N.S. Chou, and S-T. Yeh; Environmental Considerations, V.C. McGuffey, T.A. Bellatty, and W.M. Haas; Special Soil Deposits and Embankment Materials, R.D. Holtz, C.W. Lovell, and M.L. Steinberg; and Instrumentation for Embankments, J.L. Henkes, K.A. Jackura, and W.H. Hansmire. Each of the chapters is entered separately in the TRIS data base.
