  • Correlations of Soil and Rock Properties in Geotechnical Engineering

    by Jay Ameratunga, Nagaratnam Sivakugan, Braja M. Das ...
    Series series Developments in Geotechnical Engineering
    This book presents a one-stop reference to the empirical correlations used extensively in geotechnical engineering. Empirical correlations play a key role in geotechnical engineering designs and analysis. Laboratory and in situ testing of soils can add significant cost to a civil engineering project. By using appropriate empirical correlations, it is possible to derive many design parameters, thus ... Read more

  • Revolutions that Made the Earth

    by Tim Lenton, Andrew Watson ...
    The Earth that sustains us today was born out of a few remarkable, near-catastrophic revolutions, started by biological innovations and marked by global environmental consequences. The revolutions have certain features in common, such as an increase in complexity, energy utilization, and information processing by life. This book describes these revolutions, showing the fundamental interdependence ... Read more

  • 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

  • Advances in Reinforced Soil Structures

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

    Edited by Sanjay Kumar Shukla, Erol Guler ...
    Series series Springer Nature Proceedings excluding Computer Science
    Soil reinforcement is a very useful technique to construct several cost-effective soil structures in an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner. The most commonly used reinforcement materials are galvanised steel strips, geosynthetics in the form of woven geotextiles, geogrids and geocomposites, and fibres from natural and waste products. In recent years, there have been advances in the ... Read more
