Testing and Performance of Geosynthetics in Subsurface Drainage
Contains nine papers that were presented in the eponymously named, ASTM sponsored, conference held in Seattle, Washington, on June 29th, 1999. The papers are divided into treatments of field performance studies, pavement design and drainage, and testing, corresponding to the sessions of the symposium. Topics include cold-climate pavement drainage; performance-based specifications for highway edge drains; and tests of toe drain performance, transmissivity of geosynthetic drains, and clogging behavior.

Soft Ground Engineering in Coastal Areas
This volume contains the papers contributed to the Nakase Memorial Symposium with the theme: Soft Ground Engineering in Coastal Areas, held in Yokusuka, Japan in November 2002. The meeting was organized as a tribute to Professor Ako Nakase, and was attended by 125 participants including his Japanese colleagues and friends from overseas. The topics covered included: fundamental Characteristics of Clay Soils; Estimation of consolidation settlement in large-scale reclamation; Soil improvement methods in coastal areas; Reuse of dredged soils and behaviour of coastal structures under earthquake; and Evaluation for the stability of coastal structures.
Field Instrumentation for Soil and Rock
These 28 papers presented at the American Society for Testing and Materials symposium held in June 1998 are organized by the major session topics of instrumentation associated with: soil structure interaction, monitoring landfills, and monitoring settlement and stability; and field data acquisition
Soil Mechanics in Engineering Practice
This book is one of the best-known and most respected books in geotechnical engineering. In its third edition, it presents both theoretical and practical knowledge of soil mechanics in engineering. It features expanded coverage of vibration problems, mechanics of drainage, passive earth pressure, and consolidation.
Contaminated Sediments
The main goal of the May 2003 symposium was to identify both established and innovative physico-chemical and biological methods used to characterize and evaluate properties and behavior of contaminated sediments, as well as the potential for their transfer. Papers from the symposium describe recent
Smart Technologies for Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development, Vol 2
This book contains select proceedings of the International Conference on Smart Technologies for Energy, Environment, and Sustainable Development (ICSTEESD 2020). The book is broadly divided into the themes of energy, environment, and sustainable development; and discusses the significance and solicitations of intelligent technologies in the domain of energy and environmental systems engineering. Topics covered in this book include sustainable energy systems including renewable technologies, energy efficiency, techno-economics of energy system and policies, integrated energy system planning, environmental management, energy efficient buildings and communities, sustainable transportation, smart manufacturing processes, etc. The book will be a valuable reference for young researchers, professionals, and policy makers working in the areas of energy, environment and sustainable development.
Frontiers in Natural Product Chemistry
“Frontiers in Natural Product Chemistry” is an Ebook series devoted to publishing the latest and most important advances in natural product chemistry. The Ebook series covers all aspects of research in the chemistry and biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds including coverage of work on natural substances of land and sea and of plants, microbes and animals. Discussion of structure elucidation, synthesis and experimental biosynthesis of natural products as well as developments of new methods are included. Chosen eminent scientists write contributions and each volume are devoted to major advances in natural product chemistry. Topics include the isolation, structure, biosynthesis, b...
Saponins in Food, Feedstuffs and Medicinal Plants
Saponins are glycosides of triterpenes, steroids or steroidal alkaloids. They can be found in plants and marine organisms. Very diverse biological activities are ascribed to saponins and they play important roles in food, animal feedstuffs, and pharmaceutical properties. This volume provides a selection of recent work on saponins presented at a symposium in Pulawy, Poland, in 1999. Many different aspects are treated: analysis, separation, biological activities, relevant use in human and animal nutrition, and ecological significance. This book will be of use to researchers both in universities and industry.
