Covering a range of peoples across the ages, this text explores masters of the Nile from the pharaohs to the modern-day Egyptians and beyond.
Exploring the most up-to-date theories and applications of time series modelling, this text includes reference to both linear and non-linear methods, and constitutes an invaluable tool for those involved in the field of multivariate statistics.
This work describes studies of pile footings widely applied in hydrotechnical engineering. Generic piles design techniques are discussed and the coupled load analysis of piles subject to vertical, lateral forces and moments, as well as the input d...
These papers focus on mine and mill tillings and mine waste. The work also contains information on subjects related to: regulations, technical capacities and developments. This guide identifies the current and future issues facing the mining and enviromental concerns.
This text concentrates mainly on the Polish mining industry. It involves mining of a significant quantities of lignite, coal, copper, sulphur and many industrial minerals, which are all discussed in this book.
A reference for shotcrete technologists and practitioners on this method of concrete placement and its great scope for adaptability, optimization, and error. The text assesses laboratory research projects and also focusses on innovative developments in this field.
This volume presents the background to the recently developed European standard (CEN standard) on snow loads. Many of the papers on "structural engineering" describe results from a European snow project that was completed in 1999.
This work covers frequently used non-destructive testing methods and introduces innovative ideas in the field. The title also focuses on visual and optical inspection, acoustic emission and ultrasonics.
The third international workshop on applications of computational mechanics in geotechnical engineering discussed the area of computational mechanics applied to geotechnical problems. During the event, topics such as ground reinforcement and computational models were covered.
The papers from these proceedings address experimental and analytical methods for the characterization and analysis of modern composite and adhesive systems. They have been produced to provide understanding that can be used to design safe, reliabl...
Topics in this international symposium on mining in the arctic included arctic mining in Raglan; analysis and prediction of water infiltration in underground, frozen placer mines; red dog mine-operations update and design of paste tailings disposa...
The text broadly covers recent developments in ground control techniques, and their at operating mines, worldwide. Specific topics include: design and analysis of support and re-inforcement in metalliferous mines, mesh, shotcrete and membrane supp...
