Soil Nailing

A Practical Guide

by Raymond Cheung, Ken Ho ...

Series series Applied Geotechnics
Soil nailing is an in situ soil reinforcement technique that can be used to enhance the stability of slopes, retaining walls, embankments, and excavations. It involves installation of closely spaced, relatively slender unstressed tension-carrying structural elements into the ground to stabilize the soil mass. These elements, which are called soil nails, comprise steel or other engineering ... Read more

Earth Anchors, Second Edition

by Braja M. Das & Sanjay K. Shukla ...

Anchors are primarily used in the construction of foundations of earth-supported and earth-retaining structures. The fundamental reason for using earth anchors in construction is to transmit the outwardly directed load to the soil at a greater depth and/or farther away from the structure. Although earth anchors have been used in practice for several hundred years, proper theoretical developments ... Read more

Planning in Crisis?

Theoretical Orientations for Architecture and Planning

by Walter Schoenwandt ...

In recent years, a formidable gulf has opened up between planning theory and practice. Over the past four decades, planning academics have developed strong theories and created models to accompany and elucidate the planning process. However, many planning practitioners have resisted the notion that theory can play a positive role in the solution of concrete planning problems This volume provides a ... Read more

Endocrine Hypertension

Underlying Mechanisms and Therapy

Edited by Christian A Koch, George P Chrousos ...

Series series Medicine (R0)
The prevalence of hypertension is almost three times as high as that of diabetes mellitus type 2, with both conditions being major risk factors for stroke, ischemic heart disease, cardiac arrhythmias, and heart failure. The exact prevalence of hypertension related to hormonal derangements (endocrine hypertension) is not known but estimated to affect less than 15% of hypertensive patients. Recent ... Read more
