Systematically monitoring the dam’s behaviour from the potential risk stage to the accident event, would allow a hazard-management programme to be implemented, minimising loss of life and property, and provide useful data.
An analysis of radical changes across institutions such as the privitization of British Rail, and the role of governments in such shifts. Challenges current thinking, highlighting the limitations and difficulties inherent in system change.

This volume provides an overview of the results of an extended test campaign performed on soil displacement screw piles at Limelett in Belgium in the period 2000-2002, where test piles have been installed to a very dense sand layer.
These proceedings address engineering issues related to vibratory pile driving and deep soil compaction. Also included are keynote lectures and the documentation of an international vibratory class-A prediction event.
This work discusses the state of the art in the field of rock scour assessment due to falling high-velocity jets. It covers topics such as: physical modelling; prototype observations; and numerical modelling and protection measures.
The proceedings contain five invited lectures and 99 papers relevant to landslide occurrence and problems from Europe, Asia, America, Africa and Australia and New Zealand. The five special invited lectures deal with a variety of important aspects ...
This volume is an outcome of the 12th international conference of the international bryozoology association in Dublin. It consists of 85 oral and 16 poster presentations which cover all aspects of bryozoological research.
The extremes of constitutive and centrifuge modelling are explored here, with a range of lectures addressing specific areas of these two types of modelling as well as on specific design problems and the themes of failure, deformations and interfac...
Examining the results of more than forty-five laboratory studies and four prototype investigations, this text provides a new understanding of stepped channel hydraulics, which is suitable for both researchers and professionals in the area.
