This is a collection of national reports from most European countries on design-methods, as prescribed in more or less strict national codes or recommendations and so daily used in practice by consulting engineers and contractors.
The development of constitutive relations for geotechnical materials, with the help of numerical models, have increased notably the ability to predict and to interpret mechanical behaviour of geotechnical works. These proceedings cover the applica...
A collection of workshop papers providing state-of-the-art reviews on all aspects of fragmentation, including photographic requirements, image enhancement, statistical treatment, and applications in quarrying, mining and minerals processing indust...
This is a translation of "Les sites pollues: traitement des sols et des eaux souterraines", second edition. It covers: contaminated sites; environmental diagnosis; assessment of hazard; remediaiton; costs; new legal requirements; and investments a...
Linear mathematical assumptions for procedures in other branches of engineering have little relevance for geoengineering, which must accommodate non-linear behaviors. Contributors to eight papers apply the breakthrough numerical modeling.
This set of papers presents a description of the synthesis of hydrological problems and various environmental implications and management strategies for different highland and headwater regions of the world. Regions covered include the Himalayas, ...
This work is primarily designed for any person or organization in charge of assessment of the quality of natural resources and of pollution prevention.
This volume on the recharge of phreatic aquifiers in (semi-)arid areas includes coverage of: recharge principles, problems and developments; recharge from precopitation; recharge from intermittent flow; and recharge from permanent water bodies. Ca...
With information on the latest industry developments, this text for practising hydraulic engineers, addresses issues relating to computing and controlling the scour process, its time-dependent character, and the predictability of scour relations.
This text focuses on the principles and methods of using growth layers formed in teeth and bones of mammals to make a judgement on essential traits of the animal's life history. It is intended for zoologists, wild-game biologists and zoo archaeologists.
The focus of this book is on the management of the geoenvironment. It seeks to explain how, through an understanding of the environmental processes that take place in rocks, soils, waters, sediments, air and so on, the resources contained in them ...
This handbook provides an introduction to the application possibilities of geosynthetics as building material, covering soil structures, foundations engineering and bank and bed protection. The text covers general design considerations and elabora...
