Expansion of water resources is a key factor in the socio-economic development of all countries. Dams play a critical role in water storage, especially for areas with unequal rainfall and limited water availability. While the safety of existing dams, periodic re-evaluations and life extensions are the primary objectives in developed countries, the design and construction of new dams are the main concerns in developing countries. The role of dam engineers has greatly changed over recent decades. Thanks to new technologies, the surveillance, monitoring, design and analysis tasks involved in this process have significantly improved. The current edited book is a collection of dam-related papers. The overall aim of this edited book is to improve modeling, simulation and field measurements for different dam types (i.e. concrete gravity dams, concrete arch dams, and embankments). The articles cover a wide range of topics on the subject of dams, and reflect the scientific efforts and engineering approaches in this challenging and exciting research field.
The International Committee on Large Dams (ICOLD) held its 27th International Congress in Marseille, France (12-19 November 2021). The proceedings of the congress focus on four main questions: 1. Reservoir sedimentation and sustainable development; 2. Safety and risk analysis; 3. Geology and dams, and 4. Small dams and levees. The book thoroughly discusses these questions and is indispensable for academics, engineers and professionals involved or interested in engineering, hydraulic engineering and related disciplines.
This book presents the work of the RILEM Technical Committee 259-ISR. Addressing two complementary but fundamental issues: the kinetics of the reaction, and how this will affect the integrity of the structure (serviceability and strength), it also provides methodology for assessing past deterioration to enable readers to make engineering/science-based predictions concerning future expansion. The book is divided into six major topics: selection and interpretation of optimal monitoring system for structures undergoing expansion to monitor the progress of the swelling evolution and its consequences; development/refinement of current laboratory procedures to determine the kinetics of the reactio...

Hallo! Ich bin Miss Lilly, die Protagonistin dieses Romans. Auf der Rückseite findet ihr unten meinen Autor, er hat mich erdacht. Wollt ihr uns kennenlernen, so laden wir euch in den Roman ein. Es geht dort recht lustig, unanständig und politisch nicht korrekt zu. Die Sache spielt größtenteils im Wilden Westen, im Städtchen Rio Dolores, das bis zur Hälfte des ersten Kapitels von den Brüdern Fallings regiert wird. Der eine ist katholischer Pfarrer, der andere Revolverschwinger. Als sie nach dem Tod meiner Oma deren Freudenhaus rechtswidrig übernehmen, ahnen sie nicht, wie folgenschwer es sich für sie auswirken wird. Denn schon bald erschene ich, die rechtmäßige Erbin des Geschäfts. Und ich, Lilly, lasse mir nicht in die Suppe spucken! Oho, das könnte diesen Kanaillen so passen, Kruzifix noch mal! Vor dem Hintergrund des untypischen Kampfes ums Bordell spielen sich ausgefallene Liebeshandlungen ab. Ich hingegen mache die Entdeckung, dass ich die Protagonistin des Romans bin - und beginne eine vom Autor unabhängige Karriere zu machen.
The first book to provide a detailed overview of Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil Walls Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS) Walls deploy horizontal layers of closely spaced tensile inclusion in the fill material to achieve stability of a soil mass. GRS walls are more adaptable to different environmental conditions, more economical, and offer high performance in a wide range of transportation infrastructure applications. This book addresses both GRS and GMSE, with a much stronger emphasis on the former. For completeness, it begins with a review of shear strength of soils and classical earth pressure theories. It then goes on to examine the use of geosynthetics as reinforcement, and followed by the...
