Involving some of the leading specialist in snow engineering this collection of papers looks at subjects such as transportation, housing and residential planning, ski mechanics, hazard mitigation and avalanche engineering.
This new text presents the key findings of the International Symposium held in Delft in 2003, which explored this stunning natural process. Shallow flows are found in lowland rivers, lakes, estuaries, bays, coastal areas and in density-stratified ...
This is the Proceedings (Volume 2 of 2) of the of the Soils Under Cyclic and Transient Loading, International Symposium, held in Swansea, on 7-11 January 1980.
Volume 2 of 2 of the Conference Proceedings of the 7th Regional African Conference on Soil Mechanics, 1980.
Describes the history of soil chemistry, its application in agriculture, chemical properties and composition of the principal types of soil, important chemical processes and chemical equilibrium in soils, fundamental laws of ion-exchange capacity ...
This work presents the proceedings of EUROSTEEL '95, the first European conference on steel structures. It covers the developments in analysis and design of a range of steel structures, discusses theoretical and experimental investigations and exa...
The papers in this volume present the state of the art in the area of structural stability. The book encompasses the more traditional areas of lateral-torsional and local buckling, as well as newer applications in testing, structural analysis, com...
This work examines the Statnamic loading test, which allows the accurate and efficient evaluation of pile performance under intended loads. Topics covered include: case studies; global standardization of rapid load testing; interpretation; and mod...
Topics covered in this title include: the fracturing and damage of composite materials; ceramics; metals; and concretes and rocks at different scales in both monotonic and cyclic loading.
