Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Geotechnical design has evolved in line with technological advances which are being constantly refined. In fact, the new design trends have resulted in the generation of a new breed of specialist geotechnical contractors capable of executing design requirements in the most challenging soil conditions. In this respect, the use of Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) is no longer limited to large projects such as the Channel Tunnel; instead, tunnelling machines are available in any specified diameter, allowing for the execution of tunnels with diameters varying between 100 mm and 14 m, in any ground conditions. Equally, automated piling equipment is capable of drilling, concreting and reinforcing a 10 m deep, 360 mm diameter pile in less than 15 minutes. On the other hand, the use of pressuremeter and centrifuge testing for design purposes is becoming more of a norm in geotechnical design, making it essential to develop and adopt new design methodologies to keep up with these techniques. Engineering Design in Geotechnics includes the latest analytical tools directly linked to modern geotechnical practice. As such, the book which contains in excess of 300 state of the art illustrations and more than 50 worked examples, is an essential text for students and practising engineers alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars Engineering Design in Geotechnics, December 11, 2010
This review is from: Engineering Design in Geotechnics (Hardcover)
If you are related to a soils engineer you should have 1 copy. If you are a soils engineer then you need 2 copies. A unique blend of theory, solved problems and stimulating explanations. Well done.

Features
Presents practical, how to information on water sampling and analysis Covers water sampling and chemical analysis in one precise reference Provides exposure to state-of-the-art water quality laboratory equipment and expertise Includes a CD-ROM with video footage of sampling collection procedures
Summary
As water quality becomes a leading concern for people and ecosystems worldwide, it must be properly assessed in order to protect water resources for current and future generations. Water Quality Concepts, Sampling, and Analyses supplies practical information for planning, conducting, or evaluating water quality monitoring programs. It presents the latest information and methodologies for water quality policy, regulation, monitoring, field measurement, laboratory analysis, and data analysis.
The book addresses water quality issues, water quality regulatory development, monitoring and sampling techniques, best management practices, and laboratory methods related to the water quality of surface and ground waters. It also discusses basic concepts of water chemistry and hydrology related to water sampling and analysis; instrumentation; water quality data analysis; and evaluation and reporting results.
Discussing an array of water quality topics, from water quality regulations and criteria, to project planning and sampling activities, this book outlines a framework for improving water quality programs. Using this framework, you can easily put the proper training and tools in place for better management of water resources.

Incorporates the essential elements of all the numerical methods currently used in the solution of partial differential equations encountered in science and engineering. Considers partial differential equations by their type (parabolic, elliptic, or hyperbolic), and applies all relevant numerical schemes to each type. All material included is presented free of specialized notation and terminology.
From the reviews of Numerical Solution of Partial Differential Equations in Science and Engineering:
* "The book by Lapidus and Pinder is a very comprehensive, even exhaustive, survey of the subject . . . [It] is unique in that it covers equally finite difference and finite element methods."-Burrelle's.
* "The authors have selected an elementary (but not simplistic) mode of presentation. Many different computational schemes are described in great detail . . . Numerous practical examples and applications are described from beginning to the end, often with calculated results given."-Mathematics of Computing.
* "This volume . . . devotes its considerable number of pages to lucid developments of the methods [for solving partial differential equations] . . . the writing is very polished and I found it a pleasure to read!"-Mathematics of Computation
Contents:
Fundamental Concepts.
