Introductory Geotechnical Engineering: An Environmental Perspective
The environmental effect on the behavior of the soil-water system is difficult to explain using classical mechanical concepts alone. This book integrates and blends traditional theory with particle-energy-field theory in order to provide a framework for the analysis of soil behavior under varied environmental conditions.
A complete treatment of geotechnical engineering concepts is given, with an emphasis on environmental factors. Soil properties and classifications are included, as well as issues relating to contaminated land. Both SI and Imperial units are used, and an accompanying website provides example problems and solutions.
Introductory Geotechnical Engineering: An Environmental Perspective explains the "why" and "how" of geotechnical engineering in an environmental context. Students of civil, geotechnical and environmental engineering, and practitioners unfamiliar with the particle-energy-field concept, will find the book's novel approach helps to clarify the complex theory behind geotechnics.

Summary
Fracture and Size Effect in Concrete and Other Quasibrittle Materials is the first in-depth text on the application of fracture mechanics to the analysis of failure in concrete structures. The book synthesizes a vast number of recent research results in the literature to provide a comprehensive treatment of the topic that does not give merely the facts - it provides true understanding.
The many recent results on quasibrittle fracture and size effect, which were scattered throughout many periodicals, are compiled here in a single volume. This book presents a well-rounded discussion of the theory of size effect and scaling of failure loads in structures. The size effect, which is the most important practical manifestation of fracture behavior, has become a hot topic. It has gained prominence in current research on concrete and quasibrittle materials.
The treatment of every subject in Fracture and Size Effect in Concrete and Other Quasibrittle Materials proceeds from simple to complex, from specialized to general, and is as concise as possible using the simplest level of mathematics necessary to treat the subject clearly and accurately. Whether you are an engineering student or a practicing engineer, this book provides you with a clear presentation, including full derivations and examples, from which you can gain real understanding of fracture and size effect in concrete and other quasibrittle materials.

This book provides an original approach in the research of turbulence on the base of instability evolution. Convective mixing is considered as a principal part of conservation law. Appropriate hydrodynamic instabilities (free developed share instabilities), in particular Rayleigh-Taylor and Richtmyer-Meshkov, are investigated from unique points of view, based on the concept of large ordered structures. The book covers both the fundamental and practical aspects of turbulence and instability, and summarizes the results of numerical experiments conducted over a 30-year period with direct participation of the author.
