Geosynthetics are being used extensively throughout the world as they offer the most efficient and cost-effective solutions of a myriad of civil engineering problems. If properly protected, geosynthetics have the potential of functioning for hundreds of years. Rational design methods - based on sound concepts and standardized text techniques for detemining the technical properties of geosynthetics - are now available, placing the use of geosynthetics on a firm base.

A Short Course in Geotechnical Site Investigation" is the third volume in the popular and authoritative "Short course" series. This book focuses on the fundamental principles of geotechnical site investigation - in particular the planning of the investigation. This indispensable book is illustrated throughout with 23 case studies, seven of which are detailed examples of best practice. Some aspects of soil mechanics are explained using "hand written" "Short Course Notes". The classic monograph "Writing Reports" by D. J. Palmer is reproduced, and also included is a plastic-laminated field card giving identification and description of soil and rocks.This book provides: an introduction on how to plan an investigation, with particular reference to spacing of boreholes, procurement, developing the geological model and conceptual design; guidance on how to carry out a desk study and walkover survey, with particular reference to the use of geological maps and air photos; advice on how to identify geotechnical hazards, manage geotechnical risk and compile the Risk Register; a review of key classic and modern laboratory and field tests for parameter determination. "A Short Course in Geotechnical Site Investigation" will familiarise students with the practicalities of geotechnical engineering and refresh the knowledge of practising engineering geologists and civil engineers

The Canadian Wood Council (CWC) is the association responsible for the development and dissemination of technical information on the use of wood products in construction. Ensuring that this information is in tune with technical change and users' needs requires constant vigilance.
The purpose of this fifth edition of the Wood Design Manual is to help the Canadian community design - architects, engineers, specification writers, teachers and students of these disciplines - to design wood structures with efficiency, economy and safety. It brings together, in a comprehensive but concise format, the essential information a designer needs for a wide range of wood structural elements and systems.
The information in the Wood Design Manual is based on the latest information available from the National Building Code of Canada (2005) and from CSA Standard 0-86-01 (2005) Engineering Design in Wood. Every effort has been made to ensure that the date and information in the Manual are accurate and complete. The CWC does not, however, assume any responsability for errors or omissions in the Manual nor for engineering plans or plans prepared from it.
