Earthquake Engineering and Disaster Mitigation
This book has been brought out in remembrance of Prof. DK Paul who has contributed immensely to the domain of Earthquake Engineering and Earthquake Disaster Mitigation. Prof. Paul was a leading authority in this field and has made significant contributions in Earthquake Resistant Analysis as well as Design of various special structures, which resulted in earthquake disaster reduction in India. This book comprises recent diverse topics on earthquake engineering and disaster mitigation. The chapters are of interest to readers, as the different chapters will elaborate popular topics on various aspects of earthquake engineering and disaster management. Substantial research work has been carried ...
Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
The 16th ICSMGE responds to the needs of the engineering and construction community, promoting dialog and exchange between academia and practice in various aspects of soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. This is reflected in the central theme of the conference 'Geotechnology in Harmony with the Global Environment'. The proceedings of the conference are of great interest for geo-engineers and researchers in soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. Volume 1 contains 5 plenary session lectures, the Terzaghi Oration, Heritage Lecture, and 3 papers presented in the major project session. Volumes 2, 3, and 4 contain papers with the following topics: Soil mechanics in general; Infrastructure and mobility; Environmental issues of geotechnical engineering; Enhancing natural disaster reduction systems; Professional practice and education. Volume 5 contains the report of practitioner/academic forum, 20 general reports, a summary of the sessions and workshops held during the conference.
DSC/HISS Modeling Applications for Problems in Mechanics, Geomechanics, and Structural Mechanics
Understanding the mechanical behavior of solids and contacts (interfaces and joints) is vital for the analysis, design, and maintenance of engineering systems. Materials may simultaneously experience the effects of many factors such as elastic, plastic, and creep strains; different loading (stress) paths; volume change under shear stress; and microcracking leading to fracture and failure, strain softening, or degradation. Typically, the available models account for only one factor at a time; however, the disturbed state concept (DSC) with the hierarchical single-surface (HISS) plasticity is a unified modeling approach that can allow for numerous factors simultaneously, and in an integrated m...
Geosynthetics: Leading the Way to a Resilient Planet
This volume contains the proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Geosynthetics (12 ICG), held in Roma, Italy, 17-21 September 2023. About 750 Authors - Academics, Researchers, Students, Practitioners, Contractors and Manufacturers – contributed to the peer-reviewed papers of this volume, which includes the Giroud lecture, the Bathurst lecture, the Rowe lecture, four keynote lectures and 296 technical papers. The content of these proceedings illustrates the sustainable use of geosynthetics in a variety of innovative as well as consolidated applications. After the sustainability implications in the correct use of geosynthetics, the ability to overcome the natural events effects, ...

Manchester of the East
Kanpur was a tiny hamlet until the railways arrived in India, and later a British garrison. The bloody events during the 1857 War of Independence led to a clampdown on the city, and under rigorous British supervision, industry began. The wars that Britain was fighting in South Africa, Russia and Afghanistan furthered the development of Kanpur into a hub of supply for the best military boots and other leather goods. Mills were set up and by 1900s, Kanpur became synonymous with high-quality products and top-of-the-class mills. Both Indians and Europeans were responsible for this transformation of a tiny dot on the map of the Indian subcontinent into the world's best supply-centre for leather, cotton, jute and other materials. In this rivetting account of the transformation of a hamlet into what became known as the Manchester of the East, Suraj Prasad Mehra describes the evolution of the city over two hundred years from the 1800s. He introduces us to events and incidents as well as individuals and governments that were responsible for making Kanpur what it eventually became and what it is today.
Seventh U.S. National Conference on Earthquake Engineering
This is the twenty-ninth volume in the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute's series, Connections: The EERI Oral History Series. EERI began this series to preserve the recollections of some of those who have had pioneering careers in the field of earthquake engineering. Significant, even revolutionary, changes have occurred in earthquake engineering since individuals first began thinking in modern, scientific ways about how to protect construction and society from earthquakes. The Connections series helps document this important history. This volume in the EERI Oral History Series presents the life and career of Anil K. Chopra, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Civil and Environme...
