Recent Advancements in Geotechnical Engineering
Geotechnical engineering has become an important discipline of civil engineering due to its rapid advancements and environmental challenges. Special emphasis is placed on innovative materials in the fields of geotechnical engineering, pavement engineering, health monitoring of structures and sustainability. Keywords: Green Building Materials, Cement Based Materials, Concrete Applications, Photocatalytic Effect on Paver Blocks, Stabilization of Black Cotton Soil, Concrete Filled Steel Tube Columns, Cenosphere, Fly Ash Brick, Stone Columns, Reinforced Concrete Beams, Interlocking Masonry Units, Lightweight Filler Materials, Soil Stabilization Using Fibres, Friction Stir Welding of Aluminum and Magnesium.
Fatigue and Fracture of Non-metallic Materials and Structures
The mechanics of fracture and fatigue have produced a huge body of research work in relation to applications to metal materials and structures. However, a variety of non-metallic materials (e.g., concrete and cementitious composites, rocks, glass, ceramics, bituminous mixtures, composites, polymers, rubber and soft matter, bones and biological materials, and advanced and multifunctional materials) have received relatively less attention, despite their attractiveness for a large spectrum of applications related to the components and structures of diverse engineering branches, applied sciences and architecture, and to the load-carrying systems of biological organisms. This book covers the broad topic of structural integrity of non-metallic materials, considering the modelling, assessment, and reliability of structural elements of any scale. Original contributions from engineers, mechanical materials scientists, computer scientists, physicists, chemists, and mathematicians are presented, applying both experimental and theoretical approaches.
Proceedings of GeoShanghai 2018 International Conference: Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering
This book is the third volume of the proceedings of the 4th GeoShanghai International Conference that was held on May 27 - 30, 2018. This volume, entitled “Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering” , covers the recent advances and technologies in rock mechanics and rock engineering. These papers are grouped in three categories: (1) Theoretical and numerical study of rock behaviours, (2) Experimental study of rock behaviours, and (3) Applications of rock mechanics and case studies. This volume presents the state-of-the-art theories, methodologies and findings in the related areas. The book may benefit researchers and scientists from the academic fields of rock mechanics and rock engineering, geotechnical engineering, geoenvironmental engineering, transportation engineering, geology, mining and energy, as well as practical engineers from the industry. Each of the papers included in this book received at least two positive peer reviews. The editors would like to express their sincerest appreciation to all of the anonymous reviewers all over the world, for their diligent work.
Classical, Modern, and Humane
A collection of essays, originally published between 1955 and 1983.
Landslides: Global Risk Preparedness
This book presents the global landslide risk preparedness implemented through the International Programme on Landslides (IPL). IPL was initiated by the International Consortium on Landslides (ICL) in 2002, and developed to a joint international programme by the IPL Global Promotion Committee (UNESCO, WMO, FAO, UNISDR, UNU, ICSU and WFEO as well as ICL) through the 2006 Tokyo Action Plan. The materials consists of four parts: Outline of the International Programme on Landslides & IPL Global Promotion Committee; Achievements of major IPL projects in research and capacity building; World Centres of Excellence on Landslide Risk Reduction (WCoEs) and Landslide School Network; Key documents of IPL and ICL including Tokyo Action Plan, Application of ICL, IPL Projects, WCoEs and Landslide School Network
