This manual provides a review of experience and design theory regarding steel pipe used for conveying water. Major revisions to the third edition included in this edition are: the manual was metricized and edited throughout; a discussion of Chemistry, Casting and Heat Treatment (Sec. 1.3) and a discussion of stress evaluation in spiral-welded pipe (Sec. 1.12) were added to Chapter 1; Table 4-1 was revised to reflect new steel grades and Charpy test requirements for pipe with wall thicknesses greater than 1 - 2 in. (12.7 mm); calculations for external fluid pressure (Sec. 4.4) were revised to include consideration of pipe stiffness added by the cement-mortar coating and lining; in Table 6-1, values of E' used for calculation of pipe deflection were revised to reflect increasing soil stiffness with increasing depth of cover; in Chapter 7, the discussion of ring girder design was revised, and a design example was added; Chapter 9, Fittings and Appurtenances, was revised to reflect the provisions of AWWA C208-96; a new section on installation of flanged joints was added to Chapter 12; and, thrust-restraint design calculations in Chapter 13 were revised.

I'm searching the methods in the literature on design of piles used for landslide stabilization. I have been looking for the paper below written by Viggiani, for a long time. But I couldn't find it on the internet. I want your help to get it. I will be grateful, if anyone help me.
VIGGIANI C. Ultimate lateral load on piles used to stabilise landslides. Proceedings of 10th International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering, Stockholm, 1981, 3, 555–560.
Chiara Calderinia, Serena Cattaria and Sergio Lagomarsino, "The use of the diagonal compression test to identify the shear mechanical parameters of masonry", Construction and Building Materials, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2010, Pages 677-685.
This document gives guidance on the creation of computer models for steel structures with orthodox details and connections in order to produce safe, cost effective, real structures. It is primarily aimed at structural engineers using readily available analysis software. It highlights the importance of a qualitative understanding of structural response both during the creation of the analysis model and whilst appraising the analysis output.
After a general introduction to the elastic, plastic and elastic-plastic analysis of two and three dimensional frames, separate chapters address the modelling of:
- a simple beam and column frames
- a trusses and lattice girders
- a portal frames
- a curved, tapered and non homogeneous members connections
- a supports
- a loads
It also provides guidance on simple checks to ensure the analysis is correct and an overview of member design for the less experienced designer.
This guide is limited to the modelling of general building and plant structures of normal proportions under static loading. Offshore structures, masts, bridges, shells and plates are not covered, nor is grillage analysis. The guide concentrates on first order analysis programs. Second order analysis is discussed, but both the analysis and the type of structure requiring second order analysis are outside the scope of this document.

Groundwater Flow Understanding: From Local to Regional Scale (IAH - Selected Papers on Hydrogeology)
Author: J.J.Carrillo-Rivera, M.Adrian Ortega Guerrero, Oretega Guerrero Ortega G. | Size: 5.4 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Taylor & Francis | Year: 2008 | pages: 200 | ISBN: ISBN10: 0415436788
Book Description:
Any sustainable groundwater development programme requires knowledge of the prevailing flow system, extending from local to regional scale. This book of selected papers discusses integral groundwater management with scale flow issues and presents methods of defining, preventing, controlling and mitigating negative environmental impacts related to groundwater. It highlights specific issues such as trans-boundary groundwater flow, groundwater recharge, groundwater mining, and groundwater flow in thick aquifers, and stresses the importance of the sustainable development of groundwater and its social and economic implications. The book will interest groundwater researchers and professionals, students, government administrators and educators, providing new insights into the procedures and processes that are influenced by the scale of the groundwater flow system.

Urban Groundwater Pollution: IAH International Contributions to Hydrogeology 24 (Intl Asso. for Hydro., Intl. Contr. to Hydro)
Author: David N.Lerner | Size: 5.50 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Taylor & Francis | Year: 2003 | pages: 296 | ISBN: ISBN10: 9058096297 & ISBN13: 9789058096296
Product Description:
More than 50% of the world's population already live in cities, and the proportion is rising extremely rapidly towards developed country levels of more than 90%. Groundwater from wells is the major source of water supply for many of these cities, however, groundwater is polluted by the cities that overlie it and sewerage systems are often absent, or leak. Industrial landuse implies the use of large quantities of chemicals, and it is the poor disposal and accidental spillage of these chemicals which results in the contamination of virtually every industrial site in the world. Much of this pollution migrates deeper to damage groundwater. Groundwater has slow turnover time, often measured in decades and centuries, reducing the self-cleansing capacity. Urban aquifers are therefore vitally important but very fragile, easily damaged and slow to repair. Urban groundwater problems and solutions vary greatly around the world. Mature cities often have remote and clean water supplies, good sewerage systems, strict controls on groundwater and land use, and declining industries. However, they have a legacy of more than one hundred years of waste disposal and industrially-contaminated land which continues to cause problems. Rapidly urbanising cities are frequently dependent on local groundwater and have poor sanitation and uncontrolled industry. These factors present many immediate risks to human health. This book explains the nature and value of urban groundwater, discussing the types of pollutants that are found, and their sources. The unique aspect of this book is the in-depth discussion of six different urban environments, complete with case studies. These environments are: Mature industrial cities; Arid-zone cities; Weathered crystalline aquifers in sub-Saharan Africa; Cities overlying karst aquifers; Alluvial aquifer systems; Shallow aquifers in Mediterranean climates.
