This book presents a one-stop reference to the empirical correlations used extensively in geotechnical engineering. Empirical correlations play a key role in geotechnical engineering designs and analysis. Laboratory and in situ testing of soils can add significant cost to a civil engineering project. By using appropriate empirical correlations, it is possible to derive many design parameters, thus limiting our reliance on these soil tests. The authors have decades of experience in geotechnical engineering, as professional engineers or researchers. The objective of this book is to present a critical evaluation of a wide range of empirical correlations reported in the literature, along with typical values of soil parameters, in the light of their experience and knowledge. This book will be a one-stop-shop for the practising professionals, geotechnical researchers and academics looking for specific correlations for estimating certain geotechnical parameters. The empirical correlations in the forms of equations and charts and typical values are collated from extensive literature review, and from the authors' database.
Der Krieg um die Alpen, der in den Jahren 1915 bis 1918 zwischen Italien und Österreich-Ungarn entbrannte, war der umfassendste Konflikt, der jemals im Alpenraum stattfand. Mitten im Ersten Weltkrieg waren tausende Soldaten dauerhaft in den Hochalpen versammelt, die im Sommer wie im Winter dort lebten und kämpften. Der Autor verfolgt die Besonderheiten und theoretischen Grundlagen des Hochgebirgskrieges und stellt die Anforderungen, mit denen die Soldaten in der Fels- und Eisregion konfrontiert wurden, heraus. Es werden nicht nur die komplizierten politischen Verwicklungen behandelt, die zum italienischen Kriegseintritt auf Seiten der Alliierten führten, sondern auch die Kampfhandlungen s...

At the end of World War II, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, fearing that retreating Germans would consolidate large numbers of troops in an Alpine stronghold and from there conduct a protracted guerilla war, turned U.S. forces toward the heart of Franconia, ordering them to cut off and destroy German units before they could reach the Alps. Opposing this advance was a conglomeration of German forces headed by SS-Gruppenführer Max Simon, a committed National Socialist who advocated merciless resistance. Under the direction of officers schooled in harsh combat in Russia, the Germans succeeded in bringing the American advance to a grinding halt. Caught in the middle were the people of Franconia. His...
