I am studying about floating slab track and I need to find a relationship between 1 dependent variable and 3 or 4 independent variables. I read some documents of AASHTO and found that they construct many formula from empirical. Please let me know how to construct it.
Thank you.
Geological Engineering by Luis Gonzalez de Vallejo and Mercedes Ferrer
Author: Luis Gonzalez de Vallejo and Mercedes Ferrer | | Format:PDF | Publisher: CRC | Year: 2011 | pages: 700 | ISBN: ISBN-13: 978-0415413527
This beautifully illustrated text book has everything an engineering geologist and those with a wide interest in civil engineering could wish for. The content of ‘Geological Engineering’ is a suitable reminder of the huge range of disciplines and engineering problems that are expected to be tackled during the career of experienced international consultants, by international civil engineering design offices, by earth science researchers, and by graduate students starting out in this fascinating but challenging major branch of science and engineering. All the back-ground needed for those engaged in foundations, slopes, tunnels, dams and reservoirs and earth structures can be found here. This book is an authorised translation and significantly updated version of Vallejo’s and Ferrer’s Spanish edition of 2002, with expert technical review by Prof. Mike de Freitas of Imperial College. Most of the contributing authors are also from universities in Madrid, and sincere congratulations are due from all future users of this book.
Undoubtedly, it is going to prove to be one of the very best broad-reference books for a very large number of educators, geologists, engineering geologists, soil mechanics and rock mechanics specialists, and hydro-geologists. It is truly an impressive production. The authors Vallejo and Ferrer have had the assistance of ten prominent Spanish contributors to various chapters or parts of chapters. It is almost a relief to discover this, as the level of detail, the beautiful diagrams, and the scope, almost defy development by two authors, however prominent as educators and international consultants. And education is the key here, as the presentation is so clear, artistic, and accessible to all, and there are a lot of ‘worked examples’: for students and for those considerably older, who forget.
A helpful one-page table of contents, and an impressive seven pages of detailed content, a total of 678 pages, and several thousand diagrams, figures and photographs, all in colour, make for a very readable and also fascinating ‘dip-into’ book. It deserves space on every civil engineering design desk, in every earth-science educator’s bookshelf, in research cubicles (multiple examples: you will need this yourself), and also on a lot of coffee tables – if selected visiting friends also have geological/civil engineering/slopes/dams/rock mass/landslide curiosity (the list is too long). In fact it is the wealth of very informative diagrams, figures and interesting photographs, which make this book so desirable to possess. There is material to interest ‘everyone’ who has curiosity about the natural terrain and man-made structures around us.
On most pages there is more illustration than text, but the detail required in most subjects, is also there. For example the major introductory chapters on soil mechanics (and engineering geology of sediments), and on rock mechanics, take about 90 and 110 pages respectively, and are full of detail for refreshing what might be forgotten, and for learning new detail, and seeing references and figures from material maybe not seen, probably also for specialists in one or other of these fields, including this reviewer. Approximately one hundred well illustrated pages cover site investigation, in situ testing, rock mass description, and engineering geological mapping.

Prepared by: Committee for the Workshop on Grand Challenges in Earthquake Engineering Research--A Vision for NEES Experimental Facilities and Cyberinfrastructure Tools, Committee on Seismology and Geodynamics, National Research Council
From the Preface: Within a one-month period in 2011, two major earthquakes struck countries that are among the best prepared for earthquakes. The M6.1 South Island of New Zealand earthquake (February 22, 2011) had an epicenter 6 km from Christchurch. Less than three weeks later, the M9.0 Tohoku earthquake (March 11, 2011) hit the northeast region of Japan’s largest island, unleashing a massive tsunami. At the time of this publication, it is estimated that more than 25,000 people perished in the Tohoku earthquake and the economic toll in Japan may exceed 3 percent of its gross domestic product. These two earthquakes came on the heels of major earthquakes in Haiti and Chile within the past 18 months, providing stark reminders of the devastating impact major earthquakes have on the lives and economic stability of millions of people worldwide.

Great attention is devoted, for example in Europe and Asia, to the development of regional airports, both to improve the congestion situation at the main hubs and to help the economic development of some decentralized areas. In this context, more actors can play an important role, as airport planners, air companies (including low-cost companies) and users (passengers and/or freight) that affect demand levels at airports through their travel choices. Furthermore, an efficient use of resources suggests we consider the role of existing regional airports before starting the building of new airports. In the USA more studies concern the analysis of airport systems (as in the Los Angeles area) in order to verify the role of each airport and the effects on the main, congested hub(s). In this light this book gives an overview of the main aspects of the potential development of regional airports, particularly the economic aspects, the role of the low-cost companies, demand modelling, the airport, airline and access mode of choices; and the relationships between hub capacity constraints and regional airports growth. Examples of different airports throughout the world are also presented as test cases with respect to the various aspects.

Author: Alan Jefferis, David A. Madsen and David P. Madsen | Size: 87 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Delmar Cengage Learning | Year: 2010 | pages: 1127 | ISBN: 1435481623
ARCHITECTURAL DRAFTING AND DESIGN, 6E is an ideal book for all architectural drafters and CAD operators, whether beginning, intermediate, or advanced. An important feature of this best-seller is its step-by-step instructions for the design and layout of each type of drawing associated with a complete set of architectural plans, with projects that can be completed using either CAD or manual drawing methods. The basics of residential design, commercial drafting, basic materials used for construction, common construction methods, and drawings typically associated with commercial construction are all covered in this comprehensive book, which is written to meet the most recent editions of IRC and IBC. Readers will be introduced to the various types of projects that a designer or architect is likely to complete during the actual design process and will gain the knowledge needed to complete the drawings required by most municipalities to obtain a building permit for a single-family residence.
