Description:
Implementation of effective drought management policies requires both advanced technologies and appropriate methods. Monitoring and forecasting systems, practical tools for risk assessment, as well as simple and objective criteria to select and implement appropriate drought mitigation measures are key elements for a successful drought management strategy.
These key issues have been tackled by universities and public agencies involved in the EU projects Sedemed and Sedemed II (Programme Interreg IIIB MEDOCC), aimed at the definition of an integrated network for real time monitoring of drought, the development of common methodologies for drought analysis and forecasting, as well as the definition of proper mitigation strategies for the Mediterranean countries.
The book presents the main outcomes of such projects with a special focus on: drought monitoring and forecasting techniques at different spatial scales; new or modified agrometeorological indices and remote sensing technique for drought identification and characterization; tools to improve surface water resources management under drought conditions; methods and tools for groundwater resources monitoring and management, based on hydrogeological and hydrodynamics characteristics of aquifers; general criteria to select and implement mitigation strategies to prevent or minimize drought impacts.

Stroud's papers on estimation of cohesive soil parameters by SPT
I belive that using of any correlation formula without reading original paper that suggested it,probably, lead to wrong way. Because any suggestion, is based on assumption that should be in mind, when they are used. Three papers listed below (specially no.3) are principal refrences in estimation of cohesive soil parameters by SPT. I will be very thankful if any of our friends can help me to get them. Thanks in advance.

I've found this video rather interesting so I think it would be ok to share it with others.
Laem Chabang Port, located in the eastern part of Thailand, covered an area of 2,572 Acres, is the main deep sea port of Thailand that offers universal services in order to exchange goods worldwide.
It is one of the highest (trading) growth rates in the world; rated World Top Container Port by the world’s leading magazine such as Loylld List etc. The rating had leapfrogged from the twenty-third in 1998 – 1999 to the twentieth and eighteenth in 2002 and 2003 accordingly.

A bestseller in engineering mechanics education in German-speaking countries - now available in English Presents undergraduates in mechanical and civil engineering with a clear knowledge of engineering mechanics Numerous topics are covered, and each chapter contains a variety of problems and solutions Mechanics of Materials is the second volume of a three-volume textbook on Engineering Mechanics. It was written with the intention of presenting to engineering students the basic concepts and principles of mechanics in as simple a form as the subject allows. A second objective of this book is to guide the students in their efforts to solve problems in mechanics in a systematic manner. The simple approach to the theory of mechanics allows for the different educational backgrounds of the students. Another aim of this book is to provide engineering students as well as practising engineers with a basis to help them bridge the gaps between undergraduate studies, advanced courses on mechanics and practical engineering problems. The book contains numerous examples and their solutions. Emphasis is placed upon student participation in solving the problems. The contents of the book correspond to the topics normally covered in courses on basic engineering mechanics at universities and colleges. Volume 1 deals with Statics; Volume 3 contains Particle Dynamics and Rigid Body Dynamics.

British Steel, Swinden Technology Centre, in collaboration with the Building Research Establishment recentlya large European research initiative to study the behaviour of a steel framed multi- storey building subjectedfire attack. The overall objective was to gain a greater understanding of the natural fire resistance of suchfistructures, to correlate existing predictive numerical models and to establish the basis for a new more rational mlesign methodology for steel framed buildings subject to fire attack. Qlhis publication introduces the research project as a whole and, in particular, summarises the results of six major fire tests carried out within the eight storey steel framed structure located within the BRE Large ,,Building Test Facility at Cardington, Bedfordshire. It was found that this composite steel framed building possessed a very significant degree of inherent fireresistance even although the steel floor beams remained entirely unprotected against fire attack. The detailed results of the fire test programme represent a very significant contribution to the development of structural fire engineering and will lead, together with the associated numerical analyses, to a morelogical approach to the designof steel framed buildings in fire
