This volume contains the revised versions of papers presented at the 4th Seminar on Experimental Techniques and Design in Composite Materials. The papers have been divided into five sections: fatigue, test methods, design, impact and modelling.
This text gathers, revises and explains the newly developed Adomian decomposition method along with its modification and some traditional techniques.
The hazards of and potential for landslide, earthquake and tunnel collapse are here analysed through a number of tried-and-tested computer packages for optimum human control, prediction and management.

Based on a vast array of research into the Jordan Rift Valley from the last one hundred and fifty years, this work discusses the tectonic evolution of the area, and includes a variety of important datings and paleoenvironmental reconstructions.
A study of tiebacks in foundation engineering and construction. Discusses the decisions that go into choosing a tieback, such as the level of corrosion protection required, and describes how soil conditions affect anchor design and construction.
An exploration of the relationship between river behaviour and environmental change. The research involves a wide range of disciplines including geomorphology, geophysics, archaeology, palaeoecology, engineering and planning.
This practical guide describes the stage-by-stage development of a method for predicting the penetration rate (PR) and the advance rate (AR) for tunnel boring machines based on an expanded version of the Q-value, QTBM.
