Debris Flow: Mechanics, Prediction and Countermeasures A comprehensive account, treating both theoretical and applied aspects of debris flow, this text begins with a discussion of fundamental mechanical aspects, such as flow characteristics, type classification, mechanics, occurrence and development, fully-developed flow and deposition processes. It she... Deep Foundations on Bored and Auger Piles - BAP V Although progressing very well over the last years, the design criteria for bored and auger piles are still not fully under control and in acceptable synergism with the real pile foundation behaviour. Although there has been a lot of research in the past years  worldwide on deep foundat... Design and Construction of Pavements and Rail Tracks A compilation of selected contributions, the volume presents advanced procedures for laboratory and field materials characterization, including processed materials (non-conventional road construction materials), novel tests for field stiffness evaluation, a pre-standard for roller integrated continu... Earthquake Engineering for Structural Design Many important advances in designing earthquake-resistant structures have occurred over the last several years. Civil engineers need an authoritative source of information that reflects the issues that are unique to the field. Comprising chapters selected from the second edition of the best-selling... Earthquake Engineering Handbook Earthquakes are nearly unique among natural phenomena - they affect virtually everything within a region, from massive buildings and bridges, down to the furnishings within a home. Successful earthquake engineering therefore requires a broad background in subjects, ranging from the geologic causes a... Earthquake Engineering: From Engineering Seismology to Performance-Based Engineering Performance-based engineering, use of energy dissipating devices, earthquake-resistant design, and other techniques in earthquake engineering have come of age in the last decade. Following a brief overview of traditional methods, Earthquake Engineering: From Engineering Seismology to Performance-Bas... Expansive Soils: Advances in Characterization and Treatment With their ability to swell and shrink in relation to the environment's water content, expansive soils are considered as geonatural hazards and form a challenge to geotechnical and construction engineers. Addressing the problems associated with these soils, this book provides expert contributions on... Experimental Rock Mechanics This book details experimental methods developed and results obtained by the author and his co-workers. They explore the deformation and fracture of rock specimens under the general triaxial compression in which all three principal stresses are different. The book also discusses the experimental res... Geoenvironmental Engineering: Contaminated Soils, Pollutant Fate, and Mitigation Why do some contaminants remain in soils indefinitely? How much of a threat do they pose to human health or the environment? The need for effective and economic site decontamination arises daily. Geoenvironmental Engineering: Contaminated Soils, Pollutant Fate, and Mitigation discusses why soils rem... Geologic Hazards: A Field Guide for Geotechnical Engineers Geologic hazards pose the greatest threat to human safety for any geotechnical undertaking, but it is ultimately the engineer's ability to recognize and cope with these hazards that will determine the safety of life and property.
