Advances in Characterization and Analysis of Expansive Soils and Rocks
This volume includes a collection of technical papers covering two important research topics in geotechnical engineering: (1) the behavior and treatment of expansive soils, and (2) the characterization of rock properties. The twelve studies on expansive soils include investigations into novel stabilization techniques for expansive soils using different admixtures or mechanical consolidation techniques, as well as new experimental approaches to evaluate the behavior of expansive soils. They also include an evaluation of wetting boundary conditions on the volume change of expansive soils, as well as the role of hydrologic boundary conditions in arid climates. The four studies on rock propertie...
21. Yüzyılda KALKINMAYA YENİDEN BAKIŞ
Kalkınma, ulus devletle birlikte önem kazanan ve bugüne kadar etkisi kesintisiz devam eden büyülü bir kavram olarak görülebilir. Tarihsel süreç içinde çeşitli eleştirilere maruz kalsa da Batı’nın entelektüel hokkabazlıkları kimsenin zıddıyla (gerikalmışlık) anılmak istemeyeceği kalkınma kavramını ilave başka kavramlarla daha da karmaşık hâle getirmiştir. Oyun devam etmektedir. Kendi isteği dışında gelişen alternatif yaklaşımlardan ürken Batı, bu ideoloji yüklü kavrama yönelik sorgulayıcı çabaların ürettiği alternatif kavramları kendi söyleminin içinde eriterek etkisizleştirme marifetini de gösterebilmektedir. Bu durum, yaklaşık bir...
Recent Developments In Civil Engineering
A book on Recent Developments in Civil engineering would likely focus on the latest advancements and innovations in the field of Civil Engineering. The book would cover a wide range of topics related to Civil engineering, such as sustainable infrastructure design, construction materials and construction techniques, transportation systems and infrastructure, geotechnical engineering, water resources and management, environmental engineering and sustainability of structures and its design.
Recent Advances in Geo-Environmental Engineering, Geomechanics and Geotechnics, and Geohazards
This edited volume contains the best papers in the geo-engineering field accepted for presentation at the 1st Springer Conference of the Arabian Journal of Geosciences, Tunisia 2018. In addition, it includes 3 keynotes by international experts on the following topics: 1. A new three-dimensional rock mass strength criterion 2. New tools and techniques of remote sensing for geologic hazard assessment 3. Land subsidence induced by the engineering-environmental effects in Shanghai China The book is useful for readers who would like to get a broad coverage in geo-engineering. It contains 11 chapters covering the following main areas: (a) Applications in geo-environmental engineering including soil remediation, (b) Characterization of geo-materials using geological, geotechnical and geophysical techniques, (c) Soil improvement applications, (d) Soil behaviour under dynamic loading, (e) Recent studies on expansive soils, (f) Analytical and numerical modelling of various geo-structures, (g) Slope stability, (h) Landslides, (i) Subsidence studies and (j) Recent studies on various other types of geo-hazards.
Digital Tradition
In one of the first ethnographies of contemporary studio music production, author Eliot Bates investigates the emergence of a transnational market for Anatolian minority popular musics in the Turkish music industry. With its unique interdisciplinary approach, Digital Traditions sets a new standard for the study of recorded music.
Becoming Turkish
Becoming Turkish deepens our understanding of the modernist nation-building processes in post—Ottoman Turkey through a rare perspective that stresses social and cultural dimensions and everyday negotiations of the Kemalist reforms. Yilmaz asks how the reforms were mediated on the ground and how ordinary citizens received, reacted to, and experienced them. She traces the experiences of the subaltern as well as the experiences of the elites and the mediators in the overall narrative—highlighting the relevance of class, gender, location, and urban and rural differences while also revealing the importance of nonideological, social, and psychological factors such as childhood and generations.
Arabic and its Alternatives
Arabic and its Alternatives discusses the complicated relationships between language, religion and communal identities in the Middle East in the period following the First World War. This volume takes its starting point in the non-Arabic and non-Muslim communities, tracing their linguistic and literary practices as part of a number of interlinked processes, including that of religious modernization, of new types of communal identity politics and of socio-political engagement with the emerging nation states and their accompanying nationalisms. These twentieth-century developments are firmly rooted in literary and linguistic practices of the Ottoman period, but take new turns under influence of colonization and decolonization, showing the versatility and resilience as much as the vulnerability of these linguistic and religious minorities in the region. Contributors are Tijmen C. Baarda, Leyla Dakhli, Sasha R. Goldstein-Sabbah, Liora R. Halperin, Robert Isaf, Michiel Leezenberg, Merav Mack, Heleen Murre-van den Berg, Konstantinos Papastathis, Franck Salameh, Cyrus Schayegh, Emmanuel Szurek, Peter Wien.
