Synthesis Report from Task Group 2.2 and Individual Contributions
The Task Group has been active since February 1992 and published in 1993 Bulletin 218, a first collection of individual contributions. Now the final synthesis report in part 1 of this Bulletin summarises research results and strives to give a harmonised view on the topic. It suggests proposals that by and large endorse the CEB-FIP Model Code 1990. Further research needs are identified. The individual contributions in part 2 of this Bulletin report on research performed since 1993 within the framework of the Task Group. Although extensively discussed within the group, the papers express the individual views of their authors, all of them being members of the Task Group.

Hey. I am undergraduate student taking up civil engineering. I am from Philippines, I am having problem about choosing research study. I have no idea. Maybe my focus is on structure. Since all of the members of this forum are engineers and they encounter problems in field/site. I am hoping for your suggestion.. BIG thanks.!!
Groundwater Science and Policy: An International Overview
Author: P. Quevauviller | Size: 72.10 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Royal Society of Chemistry | Year: 2007 | pages: 648 | ISBN: 0854042946
Product Description:
This book offers a scientific overview of key findings in groundwater management set in context against the legislative milestones ensuing as a result of research and development activities. Highlighting the close relationship between policy requirements and scientific knowledge, the editor provides up-to-date information on the EU groundwater policy framework complimented with discussions on integrating R&D activity and output into policy implementation. The first of its kind this book is essentially a unique summary of outstanding research and development projects in the field of groundwater science and the reader can draw upon a wealth of knowledge and information from both a scientific and political perspective. Examples of research projects contributing to both policy development and implementation are provided and discussed.

This book explains the principles of operations management for construction, and how those principles work in practice. Procurement of materials, subcontractors and supply chain management are also carefully assessed, while explanations of contract planning, site organisation and work study provide further insights. With regulations increasingly impacting on the way sites are managed, relationships with third parties and the methods of successfully administering safety, quality and environment protection are spelt out.

The analysis of beam dynamics is described using the Mixed Finite Element approach. Both stationary and variational description of the numerical method are addressed. Examples are presented using Free Software numerical math packages like Octave or Freemat to code the solutions. The script files are made available on-line to tinker with the powerful tools the methods makes available.

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.
