Book Description
El mejoramiento de suelos se lleva a cabo mediante procedimientos físicos o mecánicos para mejorar alguna propiedad mecánica del suelo. En este Capítulo se distinguen diferente técnicas agrupadas para el mejoramiento de suelos gruesos, suelos finos y suelos especiales. En el caso de suelos finos se presentan dos técnicas especiales de inyección para el tratamiento de este tipo de suelos: la de mezclado profundo y la de inyecciones a chorro. También se presenta el uso de precarga y el de inclusiones como métodos alternativos para la mejora de estos suelos.En el caso de los suelos gruesos se pone énfasis en la aplicación de técnicas específicas para mejorar estos depósitos con procedimientos de compactación por impacto o por vibraciones. Además, se destaca el caso especial de inyecciones para reducir la permeabilidad, como en el caso de aluviones.Finalmente, para suelos especiales, es decir aquéllos que son potencialmente licuables, expansivos, dispersivos o colapsables, se presentan técnicas específicas para modificar sus características originales y lograr que éstos sean estables.Cada método de mejoramiento tiene ventajas y desventajas así como límites en su aplicabilidad. Para cada uno de ellos se describen los pasos necesarios para su aplicación práctica, incluyendo sus fundamentos y consideraciones teóricas, el método de diseño y los procedimientos de construcción generales. Todo proceso de mejoramiento implica la evaluación del procedimiento empleado, por tal motivo deben realizarse ensayes que permitan determinar las nuevas condiciones geotécnicas del terreno, el cual se realiza con procedimientos de control y verificación establecidos en este manual. Finalmente, se presentan ejemplos prácticos que permiten ilustrar la utilización de los métodos de mejoramiento en proyectos de ingeniería de diversa índole.

6th International Conference on the Conservation of Earthen Architecture
Author: The Getty Conservation Institute
Publisher: Getty Publications
ISBN: 0892361816
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 492
Book Description
On October 14-19, 1990, the 6th International Conference on the Conservation of Earthen Architecture was held in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Sponsored by the GCI, the Museum of New Mexico State Monuments, ICCROM, CRATerre-EAG, and the National Park Service, under the aegis of US/ICOMOS, the event was organized to promote the exchange of ideas, techniques, and research findings on the conservation of earthen architecture. Presentations at the conference covered a diversity of subjects, including the historic traditions of earthen architecture, conservation and restoration, site preservation, studies in consolidation and seismic mitigation, and examinations of moisture problems, clay chemistry, and microstructures. In discussions that focused on the future, the application of modern technologies and materials to site conservation was urged, as was using scientific knowledge of existing structures in the creation of new, low-cost, earthen architecture housing.

Glosario Del Banco Mundial

ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 468
Book Description
This edition of the World Bank has been revised and expanded by the Terminology Unit in the Languages Services Division of the World Bank in collaboration with the English, Spanish, and French Translation Sections. The Glossary is intended to assist the Bank's translators and interpreters, other Bank staff using French and Spanish in their work, and free-lance translator's and interpreters employed by the Bank. For this reason, the Glossary contains not only financial and economic terminology and terms relating to the Bank's procedures and practices, but also terms that frequently occur in Bank documents, and others for which the Bank has a preferred equivalent. Although many of these terms, relating to such fields as agriculture, education, energy, housing, law, technology, and transportation, could be found in other sources, they have been assembled here for ease of reference. A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.

Construction and Building Research
Author: Carmen Llinares-Millán
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400777906
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 528
Book Description
Many areas of knowledge converge in the building industry and therefore research in this field necessarily involves an interdisciplinary approach. Effective research requires strong relation between a broad variety of scientific and technological domains and more conventional construction or craft processes, while also considering advanced management processes, where all the main actors permanently interact. This publication takes an interdisciplinary approach grouping various studies on the building industry chosen from among the works presented for the 2nd International Conference on Construction and Building Research. The papers examine aspects of materials and building systems; construction technology; energy and sustainability; construction management; heritage, refurbishment and conservation. The information contained within these pages may be of interest to researchers and practitioners in construction and building activities from the academic sphere, as well as public and private sectors.

Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Agriculture
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.
