This is a collection of articles from the Asian conference UNSAT-ASIA 2000, covering topics such as: historical developments; numerical modelling; suction measurement techniques; permeability and flow; mass transport; and engineering applications.
This volume looks at recent scientific knowledge and innovative techniques concerning environmental matters. The proceedings focus on topics such as hydraulic protection of territory and defence, utilization of water resources, architecture and pl...
This work offers a discussion of the latest research pertaining to the hydraulic design of spilways and to hydraulic engineering in general. The topics covered include: two-phase flow characteristics; the inception of air entrainment; and uniform ...
These proceedings, along with the CD-ROM, present an overview of recent advances in groundwater research. The book covers topics such as groundwater quality, natural attenuation and remediation technologies.
These proceedings deal with a variety of topics relating to flow-induced vibration and noise, such as, vortex-induced vibration and noise, vibration of heat-exchanger tube bundles and vibration of hydraulic structures.
Many traditional masonry buildings are exposed to high intensity earthquakes where the collapse of masonry claims the majority of casualties. This workshop provided a forum for discussion, including survey and measurement, retrofitting criteria an...
It is a truism that we can no longer freely pick areas with the most suitable ground conditions for building purposes. Soils must often be improved in order to take the loads from buildings, roads and other objects. This volume contains papers cov...
This title looks at geotechnical aspects of underground construction, from bored tunnelling to shield tunnelling, modelling and prediction and braced excavation. It has been designed with the engineer in mind.
In this volume a number of developments on a variety of topics have been reported. These topics include: partially saturated soil; instabilities in soil behaviour; environmental geomechanics; parallel computing; and applications to tunnels, embank...
This volume presents technical papers devoted to development and practical use of computer methods in geotechnical and geoenviromental engineering. It covers issues on space use and construction, soil and rock mechanics, and mining applications am...
Sixty-five papers cover a wide range of topics from engineering applications to theoretical developments in the areas of embankment and slope stability, underground cavity design and mining; dynamic analysis, soil and structure interaction, and co...
This volume contains papers presented during the first international PLAXIS symposium. Topics covered include: general geo-technical aspects; tunnels and deep excavations, and education and research.
