Landslides represent one of the most destructive natural catastrophes. They can reach extremely long distances and velocities, and are capable of wiping out human communities and settlements. Yet landslides have a creative facet as they contribute to the modification of the landscape. They are the consequence of the gravity pull jointly with the tectonic disturbance of our living planet. Landslides are most often studied within a geotechnical and geomorphological perspective. Engineering calculations are traditionally applied to the stability of terrains. In this book, landslides are viewed as a physical phenomenon. A physical understanding of landslides is a basis for modeling and mitigation and for understanding their flow behavior and dynamics. We still know relatively little about many aspects of landslide physics. It is only recently that the field of landslide dynamics is approaching a more mature stage. This is testified by the release of modelling tools for the simulation of landslides and debris flows. In this book the emphasis is placed on the problems at the frontier of landslide research. Each chapter is self-consistent, with questions and arguments introduced from the beginning.

Hi friends:
I'm searching for this document: "ACI Innovation Task Group 1, Special Hybrid Moment Frames Composed of Discretely Jointed Precast and PostTensioned Concrete Members (ITG-1.2-03) and Commentary (ITG-1.2R-03)". Could anyone help me to get it please??? I'll really appreciate your help.
There were three main impulses which led me to the writing of the present book: My many years of lecturing in special courses for selected students and graduate students-engineers at the College of Civil Engineering of the Technical University in Prague, frequent consultations with technicians and physicists who have asked for advice in overcoming difficulties encountered in solving their problems, and finally many discussions with mathematicians themselves, "pure" as well as "applied". This is also why the book is proposed for a relatively wide range of readers.

Design Engineering covers multiple disciplines but not limited to electrical, mechanical and civil engineering, and architectural engineering. The design engineer sets the direction of the design effort and does the most complex parts of design. Consequently, the design engineer must be familiar with and have access to many different areas in engineering. This concise volume does just that, bringing critical information such as design and materials, new materials, ergonomics, reliability and maintainability, product safety, electronics, mechanics, and plastics to the design engineer.
