This volume contains abstracts of all papers presented at the International Echinoderms Conferences, and complete papers of those which were submitted for publication and accepted upon recommendation of referees.
Earth dams are the most common impoundment structures, with stringent requirements imposed on their design and construction. Modern design require accurate static and dynamic computations based on thorough analysis of stress-strain conditions, as ...
Translated from the second Russian edition of 1988. Parts 2, "Soil mechanics" and 3, "Foundations and footings" are revised and updated versions of the first Russian edition of 1981. Part 1, "Special course in engineering geology," contains a disc...
These proceedings present high-level research in structural engineering, concrete mechanics and quasi-brittle materials, including the prime concern of durability requirements and earthquake resistance of structures.
This book is an outcome of the sixth conference on bearing capacity of roads and airfield held in Lisbon, Portugal. It covers the following topics: bearing capacity policies,... Læs mere
This thorough text investigates the basic principles of key deterministic methods in the systems approach to problems in the field of hydrology.
Papers cover: laboratory and in-situ testing; coupled effects and permeability; creep damage and dilatancy; constitutive modelling; crushed salt behaviour; numerical modelling; storage and disposal projects; mining applications; case studies; and salt pillars and cavities.
The papers in this volume deal with the demonstration of the possibilities offered by computational technology as to finding better solutions to problems in different fields of structural dynamics, with a special emphasis on earthquake structural dynamics.
Presenting the mechanical aspects of reinforced soil (RS) behaviour, this book begins with simple RS models, before discussing and analyzing more complex topics. A valuable resource for students, academics and professionals alike.
This title examines the problems inherent in deep vibration compaction, specifically that it is so difficult to measure its results. Looking at many aspects of the subject, this book gives the reader useful information which can be applied on-site.
The major properties of rock joints and methods of laboratory testing, as well as sheer strength assessment under various loading conditions, are discussed in this volume. A new sheer strength model developed by the authors is also highlighted.
These results from the National Research Programme on Climate Change of the Netherlands offer a synthesis of present knowledge in the fields of: source and sinks of greenhouse gases... Læs mere
