This manual provides guidelines and instructions for performing and documenting field work. The manual is a ready reference for anyone engaged in field-oriented engineering geology or geotechnical engineering. The manual is written for general engineering geology use as well as to meet Reclamation needs. The application of geology to solving engineering problems is emphasized, rather than academic or other aspects of geology.
The manual provides guidance for:
• Geologic classification and description of rock and rock discontinuities
• Engineering classification and description of soil and surficial deposits
• Application of standard indexes, descriptors, and terminology
• Geologic mapping, sampling, testing, and performing discontinuity surveys
• Exploratory drilling
• Soil and rock logging

I've been coming to this forum for about a year on a regular basis however I am still not classified as being active. I've also shared some stuff but nothing yet? Is there a some sort of hurdle for becoming one or a point system in place for reputations?
Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering: 4th International Conference on Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering - Invited Lectures
Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering: 4th International Conference on Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering - Invited Lectures
Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering: 4th International Conference on Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering - Invited Lectures (Geotechnical, Geological, ... Geological, and Earthquake
Engineering)
By Kyriazis D. Pitilakis
The book contains the invited keynote and theme lectures presented at the 4th International Conference on Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering (4ICEGE). The conference was held in Thessaloniki, Greece, from 25 to 28 June, 2007, and was organized by the Technical Committee of Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering (TC4) of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE), the Hellenic Scientific Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering and the Laboratory of Soil Dynamics and Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
It provides a comprehensive overview of the progress achieved to date in soil dynamics and geotechnical earthquake engineering, as well as in engineering seismology and seismic risk assessment and management. In situ and laboratory testing, theoretical issues and numerical modeling of soil dynamics, seismic hazard with emphasis on the long-period ground motion displacements, site effects and microzonation, liquefaction assessment and mitigation, soil-structure interaction, performance based design of geotechnical structures, earthquake resistant design and performance of shallow and deep foundations, retaining structures, embankments and dams, underground structures and lifelines, are all among the different topics covered in this book. Interdisciplinary subjects such as vulnerability assessment of, transportation networks and lifelines as well as of geotechnical structures are also discussed. Finally, the book provides a thorough presentation of the existing worldwide important large-scale testing facilities and geotechnical strong ground motion arrays.
The book is organized in nineteen chapters written by distinguished experts and includes the 2nd Ishihara Lecture given by Prof. Izzat M. Idriss in honor of Prof. Kenji Ishihara. The aim is to present the current state of knowledge and engineering practice, addressing recent and ongoing developments while also projecting innovative ideas for future research and development.

A technical and economic review of emerging waste disposal technologies
Intended for a wide audience ranging from engineers and academics to decision-makers in both the public and private sectors, Municipal Solid Waste to Energy Conversion Processes: Economic, Technical, and Renewable Comparisons reviews the current state of the solid waste disposal industry. It details how the proven plasma gasification technology can be used to manage Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) and to generate energy and revenues for local communities in an environmentally safe manner with essentially no wastes.
Beginning with an introduction to pyrolysis/gasification and combustion technologies, the book provides many case studies on various waste-to-energy (WTE) technologies and creates an economic and technical baseline from which all current and emerging WTE technologies could be compared and evaluated.
Topics include:
Pyrolysis/gasification technology, the most suitable and economically viable approach for the management of wastes
Combustion technology
Other renewable energy resources including wind and hydroelectric energy
Plasma economics
Cash flows as a revenue source for waste solids-to-energy management
Plant operations, with an independent case study of Eco-Valley plant in Utashinai, Japan
Extensive case studies of garbage to liquid fuels, wastes to electricity, and wastes to power ethanol plants illustrate how currently generated MSW and past wastes in landfills can be processed with proven plasma gasification technology to eliminate air and water pollution from landfills.

Application of Geophysical Methods to Highway Related Problems
The purpose of this section is to provide highway engineers with a basic knowledge of geophysics and nondestructive test (NDT) methods for solving specific engineering problems during geotechnical site investigation, construction, and maintenance of highways. The web manual is not intended to make engineers experts in the field of geophysics, but rather to provide them with tools that will assist them in the use of suitable geophysical and NDT techniques to evaluate problems for design, planning, construction, or remediation efforts.

Book Review Info:
OPERATIONS RESEARCH is a branch of mathematics which is often needed in Civil Engineering for optimization and decision making problems as a supplement for solution of Problems.
Many authors have written books on Operations Research. Most of them have mathematical approach rather than decision-making approach. Actually the subject deals with applied decision theory, so I have dealt with the subject with decision-theory approach. The book has fifteen chapters.
The first five chapters deal with Linear Programming Problems, such as Resource allocation problem, Transportation problem and Assignment problem?both maximization and minimization versions. In the first chapter, the historical background of Operations Research (O.R.) and definition and objective of the subject matter along with model building is discussed to help the learners to have basic knowledge of O.R. Typical problems of mathematical orientation and decision making orientation have been solved. In transportation model and in assignment model, problems useful to Production and Operations Management have been solved to make the students to know the application part of the subject.
The sixth chapter deals with Sequencing model, where the importance and application of the models is dealt in detail. The problem of Replacement is discussed in Chapter-7. Inventory model with certain topics like ABC, VED, FSN, p-system and q-system is discussed to make the students aware of the importance of Inventory model.
Chapter-9 deals with Waiting line model and its application
with certain useful problems and their solutions. Game theory or Competitive theory is discussed in Chapter-10 with certain problems, which have their application in real world situation.
Dynamic programming is dealt in Chapter-11. The problems worked out have practical significance. Chapter-12 deals with Decision theory where the usefulness of decision tree is discussed. Non-Linear programming is briefly discussed in Chapter-14 with certain useful problems. In Chapter -15, the two network techniques i.e. PERT and CPM have been discussed with typical worked out examples.
At the end of the book, objective type questions, which are helpful for competitive examinations are given to help the students to prepare for such examinations.
