  • Engineering Geology and Geological Engineering for Sustainable Use of the Earth’s Resources, Urbanization and Infrastructure Protection from Geohazards

    Proceedings of the 1st GeoMEast International Congress and Exhibition, Egypt 2017 on Sustainable Civil Infrastructures

    Edited by Janusz Wasowski, Daniele Giordan, Piernicola Lollino ...
    Series series Springer Nature Proceedings excluding Computer Science
    The ongoing population growth is resulting in rapid urbanization, new infrastructure development and increasing demand for the Earth's natural resources (e.g., water, oil/gas, minerals). This, together with the current climate change and increasing impact of natural hazards, imply that the engineering geology profession is called upon to respond to new challenges. It is recognized that these ... Read more

  • Monotonic, Cyclic and Postcyclic Shear Behavior of Low-plasticity Silt

    by Shuying Wang ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book gathers the main research findings on monotonic, cyclic and postcyclic shear behavior of low-plasticity. Drawing on the low-plasticity silt from the Mississippi River Valley, it determines that the silt’s critical state line can be changed due to liquefaction, and thus offers valuable insights and reference data for further investigations on soil mechanics and engineering applications to ...

  • Numerical Models in Groundwater Pollution

    by Karel Kovarik ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Mathematical models are the effective tool to solve different tasks predicting pollutant movement. The finite difference method is the oldest, but still remains widely used in hydrogeological practice. However, this method is not very useful to construct the new transport models because it cannot approximate the shape of remediation elements exactly. Therefore the book is concerned with the FEM ...
