# Paperback: 440 pages
# Publisher: Elsevier Science Publishers B.V., Amsterdam, 1987

Product Description
Theoretical Foundation Engineering provides in-depth reviews of the existing literature on lateral earth pressure, sheet pile walls, ultimate bearing capacity of shallow foundations, holding capacity of plate and helical anchors in sand and clay, and slope stability analysis. The discussion of the ultimate bearing capacity of shallow foundations is comprehensive, and the review of earth anchors is unique to this book. The treatment is primarily theoretical and does not compete with existing foundation design books. It will be welcomed as a useful reference by graduate students of geotechnical engineering and consultants in the field and will be a valuable addition to any civil engineering library.

Product Description
Retaining structures form an important component of many civil engineering and geotechnical engineering projects, and careful design and construction of these structures is essential for safety and longevity. In this edition, all sections have been carefully updated and improved to take account of recent developments and improvements in our understanding of soil behaviour and design requirements.

For your information, I am beginner to start using CSC Orion v15. when i try to click model and analysis results display it appear this message "Model (GMgeo) cannot be found"
There is a Phd competition at my faculty in Serbia - 3 people will get a free Phd course (the course lasts 3 years). The topics are already made by professors, mainly are crap related to some architectural bulshit (public space trough history, buidlings and it's design bla, bla). Only one of them is by my opinio the best among others:
"Lightweight three dimensional grid load bearing structures (space frames) and their relationship with architecture."
Can you just give me any indication, what can this be about? From architectural point of view, probably the most significant concept will be aestherical part. But as I stated before, I find this as a bullshit (and regret I finished architecture instead of civil engineering, I was just not well informed).
So the "potential" is a broad and vague term. I could say that the potentials of space frames in civil engineering and architectural are, that:
light, fully prefabricated, easy to assemble and erect, light and convinient for transport, can cover of huge spans and indoor spaces, material savers etc.
I know how to write a thesis (methodology, theoretical orientetion, research study, sources, materials, advantages and disadvantages of this system etc). And there are also a lot of thesis examples at our faculty library. Also I have downloaded the "How to write a Phd thesis" here from forum.
But what would be the main thing to focus on researching and doing the Phd thesis with this title in the following 3 years?
Any ideas?
Handbook of Hydraulics
Author(s): Ernest F. Brater, Horace W. King, James E. Lindell, C.Y. Wei
Publisher: McGraw-Hill Professional; 7 edition

This is one-stop answer guide to hydraulics engineering and design who is working in this field. Turn to Handbook of Hydraulics, Seventh Edition, for the tables, formulas, computer applications, and other resources you need to design and engineer virtually any hydraulic system. Bringing Ernest F. Brater and Horace W. King's last edition into the 21st century, James E. Lindell and C.Y. Wei have revised and updated this unmatched advisor--coverting all constants to metric units--to give you powerful solutions governing: Viscosity, surface tension, and elasticity; fluid pressures and hydraulic forces; laminar, turbulent, steady, and unsteady flows; oscillatory, breaking, and wind-generated waves plus shore erosion control' flow through orifice gates, tubes, weirs, and pipes; uniform and nonuniform flow in open channels; high-velocity transitions through straight-walled, enlargement, and curved-wall constrictions; unsteady open channel and spatially variable flow; flow measurement with meters, pilot tubes, venture flumes, and other devices; computer-based numerical methods; much more.
From the Back Cover
The definitive reference. . .now completely updated to reflect the latest advances in hydraulic engineering Continuing its traditon of excellence as the standard reference on hydraulics for more than 75 years, this seminal work has been thoroughly revised and updated to help practicing engineers solve hydraulic engineering problems well into the next century. Packed with current and dependable data, tables, formulas, and other crucial information that generations of professionals have come to rely on, the Seventh Edition contains many valuable new features, including: An extensive listing of computer software programs--over 150 in all--to help speed computations, analyses, and solutions of modern hydraulic engineering problems. Included is a description of each program's capabilities, availability, and cost. General discussion of the ways in which computer techonology is playing an increasingly important role in solving problems related to unsteady flow in open channels and conduits. . .pipe networks. . .spillways. . .sediment transport. . .shallow surface water. . .water quality. . .reservoir dynamics. . .hydrodynamic transport in rivers. . .coastal hydraulics. . .flow through porous media. . .hydraulic turbine units and draft tubes. . .and much more. Conversion to metric units throughout. . .many updated numerical examples showing applications to real-world problems. . .and a wealth of key analytical background material. This classic handbook is, now more than ever, an indispensible reference for every engineer who wants to save time and effort making accurate hydraulics computations.

The mysteries of the earth have fascinated the human race for thousands of years. Its restlessness has transformed landscapes, blackened skies, and buried cities. Our way of life is dependent on the geologic resources that we take from mines, quarries, and wells. Expanding our knowledge of our planet, and learning the best ways to use its resources, is critical to the welfare of our ever-expanding population. The dynamics of the earth are hard to quantify because what can be seen, and physically tested, is limited to the rocks on its surface or taken from drill holes in the crust —a very small part of the planet! The interpretation of what these rocks mean—how they relate to each other and how they compare to rocks seen forming today—and the use of new imaging techniques that can explore the subsurface give us our modern view of geology.
