These proceedings of the international conference on advances in site investigation practice held in 1995 provide vital information for all professionals involved in the planning, execution, interpretation and applications of site investigations. It draws together the research and experience of many of the most eminent professional engineers and academics, presenting a substantial body of knowledge.
This volume explores the current issues and recent international developments in reservoir planning and operation, design and construction, monitoring and maintenance. In the light of the recent climatic changes which have seen a reduction in rainfall and resulted in water shortages, a number of pertinent subjects are examined in detail, for example the provision of new resources, evaluation of optimal operating policies, review of water supply options, sedimentation effects, the environmental aspects and the economic viability of reservoirs.
Completely updated and with three new chapters, this analysis of river dynamics is invaluable for advanced students, researchers and practitioners.
This practical handbook of properties for soils and rock contains in a concise tabular format the key issues relevant to geotechnical investigations, assessments and designs in common practice. There are brief notes on the application of the tables. These data tables are compiled for experienced geotechnical professionals who require a reference do
Presenting a survey of embankment dams, this book provides information from many countries on research, environmental considerations, risks, hazards, and safety. It is useful for engineers involved in the planning, design, construction, or operation of water-retaining embankments, and tailing dams.

Case studies are used to show how theory is applied in practice. In the design and construction process, various models are used – geotechnical, laboratory, analytical, delivery, and economic models as the project is developed from planning to construction. This book explores the use and limitations of these earthwork models to be understood and appropriately applied. This book evolved from an earthworks course to practicing engineers over a 10-year period. Theory alone is not enough. Experience alone without relating back to theory can sometimes be misleading if transferred without understanding the fundamentals. The book benefited from the experiences of those many practicing engineers a...
