Foundation Engineering for Expansive Soils

By: John D. Nelson,Kuo Chieh Chao,Daniel D. Overton,Erik J. Nelson

Your guide to the design and construction of foundations on expansive soils Foundation Engineering for Expansive Soils fills a significant gap in the current literature by presenting coverage of the design and construction of foundations for expansive soils. Written by an expert author team with nearly 70 years of combined industry experience, this important new work is the only modern guide to the subject, describing proven methods for identifying and analyzing expansive soils and developing foundation designs appropriate for specific locations. Expansive soils are found worldwide and are the leading cause of damage to structural roads. The primary problem that arises with regard to expansive soils is that deformations are significantly greater than in non-expansive soils and the size and direction of the deformations are difficult to predict. Now, Foundation Engineering for Expansive Soils gives engineers and contractors coverage of this subject from a design perspective, rather than a theoretical one. Plus, they'll have access to case studies covering the design and construction of foundations on expansive salts from both commercial and residential projects. Provides a succinct introduction to the basics of expansive soils and their threats Includes information on both shallow and deep foundation design Profiles soil remediation techniques, backed-up with numerous case studies Covers the most commonly used laboratory tests and site investigation techniques used for establishing the physical properties of expansive soils If you're a practicing civil engineer, geotechnical engineer or contractor, geologist, structural engineer, or an upper-level undergraduate or graduate student of one of these disciplines, Foundation Engineering for Expansive Soils is a must-have addition to your library of resources.

The Rise of White Patriarchal Nationalism

A Personal Journey

By: Daniel Gregg

The recent marches and conflicts are becoming more prevalent, with people being hurt and killed. The general reason given is that there are Nazis and KKK organizations that operate under a doctrine of hate, but why here and why now? No one has even attempted to explain why these events are becoming more common and why they are happening right now. Although it is easy to label protestors as Nazis and white supremacist, the fundamental questions have not been answered. The astounding part of the whole question is that there seems to be very little interest in actually looking for underlying reasons that motivate people to leave their comfortable, overstuffed chairs and march under a common banner. I attempt to answer the question about who these people are and explain the grievances of these novice protestors. During my investigation, I found that my conclusions were driving me toward the very uncomfortable position of white patriarchal nationalist. Through my journey, I hope to shine a light on the problems facing America today and to show why these protestors are not just a natural consequence of their environment but an expected result. In other words, given the position that America finds herself today, protests and conflicts are an expected outcome. More to the point, conflicts are expected to grow and become more widespread. I do not ask you to join me in my expedition, but by examining my trajectory of thought, hopefully you will understand the fundamental nature of what is happening to our society and perhaps be able to construct operational solutions that are so desperately needed.
