The book sets out to present a state of practice of the geotechnical engineering of embankment dams and their foundations and the geotechnical engineering of the foundations of concrete dams. It assumes that the reader is trained in Civil Engineering or Engineering Geology, with knowledge of soil and rock mechanics.

Product Description:
This unique handbook compiles essential information on the theory, regulation, analysis, and design for the construction of seismically safe structures throughout the world in one comprehensive volume. The book begins with a section covering the fundamentals of earthquake engineering, serving as an up-to-date overview of structural dynamics. The focus of the book is on approaches to earthquake engineering from around the world. Experienced engineers from thirty-four countries present their national seismic codes and demonstrate their application with quantitative examples. Seismic codes of seismically active countries are included, from Mexico to Italy to Egypt to India. Each chapter details a country's geography and geology; history of recent significant earthquakes; and the socioeconomic context of the seismic code and its implementation. An appendix serves as a ready reference on the different methods of measurement of earthquake magnitude and intensity in seismically active countries. In addition, the chapter authors have developed easy-to-use computer programs of the code to specific structures. A convenient order form at the end of the book allows readers to order the program as a set, and they are available individually from the chapter authors. Engineers, professionals, and students involved in the design, construction, maintenance, and regulation of seismically safe structures throughout the world will benefit from this broad and accessible handbook. Mario Paz is Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Louisville, Kentucky. He has been Head of the Department of Statistics with the Government of Chile, and has consulted on structural dynamics and earthquake engineering with numerous government agencies and industrial companies. In addition, he is the author of the widely used textbook STRUCTURAL

Fundamentals of Soil Mechanics for Sedimentary and Residual Soils
Introducing the first integrated coverage of sedimentary and residual soil engineering
Despite its prevalence in under-developed parts of the United States and most tropical and sub-tropical countries, residual soil is often characterized as a mere extension of conventional soil mechanics in many textbooks. Now, with the rapid growth of construction in these regions, it is essential to gain a fuller understanding of residual soils and their properties—one that's based on an integrated approach to the study of residual and sedimentary soils. One text puts this understanding well within reach: Fundamentals of Soil Mechanics for Sedimentary and Residual Soils.
The first resource to provide equal treatment of both residual and sedimentary soils and their unique engineering properties, this skill-building guide offers:
*A concise introduction to basic soil mechanics, stress-strain behavior, testing, and design
* In-depth coverage that spans the full scope of soil engineering, from bearing capacity and foundation design to the stability of slopes
* A focus on concepts and principles rather than methods, helping you avoid idealized versions of soil behavior and maintain a design approach that is consistent with real soils of the natural world
* An abundance of worked problems throughout, demonstrating in some cases that conventional design techniques applicable to sedimentary soils are not valid for residual soils
* Numerous end-of-chapter exercises supported by an online solutions manual
* Full chapter-ending references
Taken together, Fundamentals of Soil Mechanics for Sedimentary and Residual Soils is a comprehensive, balanced soil engineering sourcebook that will prove indispensable for practitioners and students in civil engineering, geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, and geology.

Buckling of Steel Shells - European Design Recommendations
Buckling of Steel Shells - European Design Recommendations
Nº125, 5th edition, 2008
Editors: John Michael Potter and herbert Scmidt, TC8 - Stability (TWG 8.4)
This document is the 5th Edition of the ECCS European Recommendations for the Buckling of Steel Shells. It is the successor to the 4th Edition, published in 1988, which was very different in style, format and content, though some of the regulatory requirements of the 4th Edition are here retained in the 5th Edition. In the 20 years since the publication of the 4th Edition in 1988, much has changed in the field of metal shell buckling. Extensive research has been undertaken, much new knowledge has been developed, and powerful computational modelling has transformed the field, though much design is still conducted by hand calculation. These changes are reflected in this 5th Edition.
The 5th Edition quotes extensively from the Eurocode EN 1993-1-6 (2007) and is completely compatible with that standard.
However, the Eurocode has no commentary, so the meaning, limitations and origins of many rules are not always clear. This 5th Edition provides an extensive commentary on the existing rules relating to buckling in the Eurocode, but extends far beyond it in giving recommendations, expansions, advice and warnings, explanations and examples, all of which should give the user< considerably more insight and confidence in applying the rules of EN 1993-1-6.
Structure of the document This 5th Edition is divided into two parts. Part I sets out the basic information and general procedures required to undertake all shell buckling calculations according to EN 1993-1-6. It describes the methodology and conceptual principles for numerical analysis, either to derive the basic data that can be used in a straightforward buckling design by hand calculation, or to replace parts of this calculation with numerical assessments, or to carry out a buckling design that is completely based on numerical assessment.
Part II sets out the detailed information for hand calculation procedures when a shell of a particular geometry is being designed for a particular loading condition. Many well-proven engineering formulas, empirical data and simplified rules extracted from numerical parametric studies have been included in this part. In particular, Part II contains radically updated versions of the rules set out in the 4th Edition of the ECCS Recommendations.
