  Estimating Groundwater Recharge
Posted by: ska51 - 12-29-2011, 06:49 PM - Forum: Water & Hydraulic Engineering - Replies (1)


Estimating Groundwater Recharge

Author: Richard W. Healy | Size: 7.30 MB | Format: PDF | Publisher: Cambridge University Press | Year: 2010 | pages: 256 | ISBN: 9780521863964

Understanding groundwater recharge is essential for successful management of water resources and modeling fluid and contaminant transport within the subsurface. This book provides a critical evaluation of the theory and assumptions that underlie methods for estimating rates of groundwater recharge. Detailed explanations of the methods are provided - allowing readers to apply many of the techniques themselves without needing to consult additional references. Numerous practical examples highlight benefits and limitations of each method. Approximately 900 references allow advanced practitioners to pursue additional information on any method. For the first time, theoretical and practical considerations for selecting and applying methods for estimating groundwater recharge are covered in a single volume with uniform presentation. Hydrogeologists, water-resource specialists, civil and agricultural engineers, earth and environmental scientists and agronomists will benefit from this informative and practical book. It can serve as the primary text for a graduate-level course on groundwater recharge or as an adjunct text for courses on groundwater hydrology or hydrogeology. For the benefit of students and instructors, problem sets of varying difficulty are available at

  Professor Joe Penzien, 1924 – 2011
Posted by: yakwetu - 12-29-2011, 01:08 PM - Forum: Free Discussion - Replies (1)

Joseph Penzien, a University of California-Berkeley engineering professor who developed the world's first modern shake table in 1972 and pioneered groundbreaking earthquake engineering research and academics, died on Sept. 19 in Redwood City, Calif. He was 86.


PENZIEN
Penzien, a 35-year teaching veteran at the school, was a key developer of its programs in structural dynamics and earthquake engineering, "which many considered to be the best in the world," according to a 2004 oral history conducted by Robert Reitherman, executive director of the Consortium of Universities for Research in Earthquake Engineering.

An introduction by Berkeley professor Anil Chopra noted that while Penzien taught all of the program's courses, "his unique contribution was the first course on random vibrations." Developed in 1961, it was "the earliest course on this subject offered in a civil engineering department in the U.S." he said, further noting that it "became legendary for how tough it was and enhanced his already-existing reputation of teaching difficult subjects."

Penzien later co-authored a landmark 1975 textbook, “Dynamics of Structures.” The book was groundbreaking "in terms of its broad scope, comprehensive coverage and philsophy," said Chopra

  Subsurface Hydrology
Posted by: portal61 - 12-29-2011, 09:37 AM - Forum: Water & Hydraulic Engineering - Replies (1)


Subsurface Hydrology

Author: George F. Pinder, Michael A. Celia | Size: 14.4 MB | Format: PDF | Publisher: Wiley-Interscience | Year: 2006 | pages: 488 | ISBN: 0471742430

[Image: 42824317957522525857.jpg]


[Image: info.png]

This text features a comprehensive examination of water movement as well as the movement of various pollutants in the earth's subsurface. The authors also discuss the movement of fluids other than water in the subsurface such as oil, gasoline, and other liquids that may serve as sources of contamination. The multidisciplinary approach covers the topic from both a scientific and engineering perspective, integrating such fields as earth science, fluid mechanics, mathematics, statistics, and chemistry.

Rather than focus on the physical systems themselves, this text takes a practical approach by stressing methodology. Readers are provided with a full discussion of the practices, procedures, and rules for dealing with groundwater. Among the important topics covered are:

• Fluid and multi-fluid flow and transport
• Water movement in geological formations
• Analytical solutions for flow problems
• Well hydraulics
• Numerical solutions of the groundwater flow equation
• Contamination of subsurface water and remediation
• Groundwater and surface water interaction

Figures, diagrams, charts, and tables are used liberally throughout the text to help readers visualize various procedures and subsurface structures. A summary is included at the end of each chapter to highlight key concepts. Problem sets at the end of each chapter give readers an opportunity to test their knowledge and practice their new skills. Moreover, the use of problem sets and the logical presentation of materials make this appropiate as an upper-level undergraduate and graduate textbook for courses in groundwater hydrology and hydrogeology.

  Building Codes for Existing and Historic Buildings

Building Codes for Existing and Historic Buildings

Author: Melvyn Green, S.E. | Size: 3.2 MB | Format: PDF | Publisher: Wiley | Year: 2011 | pages: 264 | ISBN: 0470195916

[Image: 25845616327197487669.jpg]


[Image: info.png]

Written for architects, engineers, preservation, and code enforcement professionals, this is the only comprehensive book that examines how the International Building Code (IBC) and the International Existing Building Code (IEBC) can be applied to historic and existing buildings. For ease of use, the book is organized to parallel the structure of the IEBC itself, and the approach is cumulative, with the objective of promoting an understanding of the art of applying building regulations to the environment of existing buildings.
The principles of regulating existing buildings are discussed. Basic building information, nonconforming rights, and the code’s approach to change of occupancy are included. The prescriptive, work area, and performance compliance methods of the International Existing Building Code are analyzed. Each method of compliance is described with regard to its application to particular situations, such as repairs, alterations, and change of occupancy. Examples are provided to show signifi cant code issues.

For those meanless word in the quote report, such as "fc^ _ ? -)-)£. 1 (J„ , a", that because Kasperksy doesn't allow use to copy the text in the repoert, so I have to use some OCR software to capture the text from the repoert, which cause the issue.

I notice there is some link in the thread when I copy the report from Kaspersky and paste here, if the link is not allowed, please help me with it, cause I can't find the edit button here, so I can't edit the thread.
