Product Description
Over the past decade there has been a gradual shift away from simply relying on engineering solutions to individual landslide problems, to the use of a variety of strategies to manage the problems over a broad area. Such alternative strategies include the use of building codes, land use planning controls, preventing water leakage, early warning systems and insurance schemes. This book addresses these developments and provides a multidisciplinary perspective on landslide management. It places emphasis on the need to understand the scientific basis of landslide activity together with the legislative and administrative framework and the cultural background.
1 Background to landslide risk assessment
2 Landslide hazard
3 Qualitative and semi̷quantitative risk assessment
4 Estimating the probability of landsliding
5 Estimating the consequences
6 Quantifying risk
7 From risk estimation to landslide management strategy

Papers On Earth Dams
I need these two papers:
1. Elton, D. J., Shie, C.-F., and Hadj-Hamou, T. (1991). ‘‘One- and two dimensional analysis of earth dams.’’ Proc., 2nd Int. Conf. on Recent Advancements in Geotech. Earthquake Engrg. and Soil Dyn., Univ. of Missouri-Rolla, Rolla, Mo., 1043–1049.
2. Vrymoed, J. L., and Calzascia, E. R. (1978). ‘‘Simplified determination of dynamic stresses in earth dams.’’ Proc., Earthquake Engrg. and Soil Dyn. Conf., ASCE, New York, 991–1006.

Abstract
The main types and sizes of reinforcement are explained, including welded fabric. Guidance is given on reading reinforcement schedules and drawings, and on methods of bending, cutting and fixing steel. Emphasises the importance of health awareness, careful handling and achieving correct depth of cover.

In this book Emphasis was placed on the practical application of fracture mechanics, but it was aimed to treat the subject in a way that may interest both metallurgists and engineers. A general discussion is provided on fracture mechanisms, fracture criteria and other metallurgical aspects, without going into much detail. Numerous references are provided to enable a more detailed study of these subjects which are still in a stage of speculative treatment. Metallurgists and mechanicists need to know the particular problems of industry in order to be able to respond to the demands of engineers. Therefore some pertinent practical problems are discussed.

Optimization Concepts and Applications in Engineering
Author: Ashok D. Belegundu, Tirupathi R. Chandrupatla | Size: 2.4 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Cambridge University Press | Year: 2011 | pages: 479 | ISBN: 9780521878463
It is vitally important to meet or exceed previous quality and reliability standards while at the same time reducing resource consumption. This textbook addresses this critical imperative integrating theory, modeling, the development of numerical methods, and problem solving, thus preparing the student to apply optimization to real-world problems. This text covers a broad variety of optimization problems using: unconstrained, constrained, gradient, and non-gradient techniques; duality concepts; multiobjective optimization; linear, integer, geometric, and dynamic programming with applications; and finite element-based optimization. In this revised and enhanced second edition of Optimization Concepts and Applications in Engineering, the already robust pedagogy has been enhanced with more detailed explanations, an increased number of solved examples and end-of-chapter problems. The source codes are now available free on multiple platforms. It is ideal for advanced undergraduate or graduate courses and for practicing engineers in all engineering disciplines, as well as in applied mathematics
