Product Description:
Plasticity and Geotechnics is the first attempt to summarize and present, in one volume, the major developments achieved to date in the field of plasticity theory for geotechnical materials and its applications to geotechnical analysis and design. The author believes that there is an urgent need for the geotechnical and solid mechanics community to have a unified presentation of plasticity theory and its application to geotechnical engineering.
In its thorough, comprehensive treatment of the subject, the book covers classical, recent, and modern developments of appropriate constitutive theories of stress-strain relations for geomaterials and a wide range of analytical and computational techniques that are available for solving geotechnical design problems. The emphasis is on key concepts behind the most useful theoretical developments, the inter-relation of these concepts, and their implementation in numerical procedures for solving practical problems in geotechnical engineering.

New Age International | 2006 | ISBN: 8122423388, 8122417930 | 947 pages
Purpose and Scope of the Book 'GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING'
There are not many books which cover both soil mechanics and foundation engineering which a student can use for his paper on Geotechnical Engineering. This paper is studied compulsorily and available books, whatever few are there, have not been found satisfactory. Students are compelled to refer to three or four books to meet their requirements. The author has been prompted by the lack of a good comprehensive textbook to write this present work. He has made a sincere effort to sum up his experience of thirty three years of teaching in the present book. The notable features of the book are as follows:
1. The S.1. (Standard International) System of Units, which is a modification of the Metric System of units, is adopted. A note on the S.l. Units is included by way of elucidation. The reader is requested to refer to the latest revised versions of the 1.8. codes mentioned in the book.
2. Reference is made to the relevant Indian Standards, wherever applicable.
3. The number of illustrative problems as well as the number of practice problems: is made as large as possible so as to cover the various types of problems likely to be encountered. The problems are carefully graded with regard to their toughness,
4. A few "objective questions" are also included.
5. "Summary of Main Points" is given at the end of each Chapter.
6. References are given at the end of each Chapter.
7. Symbols and nomenclature adopted are mostly consistent, while being in close agreement with the internationally standardised. ones.
8. The sequence of topics and subtopics is made as logical as possible.
9. The author does not pretend to claim any originality for the material, the sources being appropriately acknowledged; however, he does claim some degree of it in the presentation, in the degree of lucidity sought to be imparted, and in his efforts to combine the good features of previous works in this field, In view of the meager number of books in this field in S.I. Units, this can be expected to be a valuable contribution to the existing literature.

We have for some time now witnessed the disruption in air travel due to the ash spewing from one of Europe’s volcanic mountains. Lots have been said of the ash-including the fact that it could interfere with the functions of the aeroplanes as such could lead to engine failure thus to air disaster. This is now becoming a new frontier for the scientists and engineers alike. I would be grateful if those who have knowledge/experience to this phenomenon, know of some books or articles that dealt with issues relate to the numeric modulation of the dispersal of this ash could share it. If possible, could we form a group as to model the present scenario with any software? hand calculation? etc. what do you think about it?

Bridging the Gap: Restoring and Rebuilding the Nation's Bridges
Bridging the Gap: Restoring and Rebuilding the Nation's Bridges
John Horsley
Publisher: American Association of State, Highway and Transportation Officials | 2008 | ISBN: 1560514256 | PDF | 72 pages | 5.35 MB
As the nation approaches the August 1 anniversary of the Minneapolis I-35W Bridge tragedy, AASHTO released Bridging the Gap: Restoring and Rebuilding the Nation's Bridges, a new report that outlines the critical challenges ahead. The report discusses the aging of our nation's bridges, the increasing costs to repair or modernize the bridges, the growing traffic congestion cause by bottlenecks on our interstates, and the epidemic of rising construction costs. Bridging the Gap points out several solutions to these growing problems, including: increased investment in transportation at all levels of government; support for a wide range of revenue options such as tolls, tax increases, annual road user fees, bonds, or private investment; commitment to research and innovation; systematic maintenance to extend the life of bridges; and increased public awareness that bridges are vital links to business and communities. The report also includes a time table of the I-35W Bridge collapse and reconstruction from August 1, 2007 to June 19, 2008, statistics of U.S. bridges per state, age of U.S. bridge inventory chart, terms related to how bridge conditions are rated, and a brief description of the bridge disasters and recoveries in California (The MacArthur Maze, April 29, 2007), Missouri (Jefferson Street Bridge, Nov. 27, 2007), and Oklahoma (Interstate 40 Bridge, May 26, 2002)

Author: Thompson, David
ISBN-13: 978-0-08-045147-3
This book brings together research in the area of railway noise and vibration, much of which has been published in various papers. The intention is to present it in a way that provides a coherent introduction to the field. While inevitably many of the references are our own, the book is not just a record of the authors’ work and also owes much to the many colleagues we have worked with over the years.
It is not practical in a book of this sort to provide an introduction to sound and vibration for those completely unfamiliar with them. Some basic background to acoustics is therefore assumed.

Single Piles and Pile Groups Under Lateral Loading
Lymon C. Reese (Author), Willem van Impe (Author)
Hardcover: 480 pages
Publisher: Taylor & Francis; 1 edition (January 1, 2000)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 9058093409
ISBN-13: 978-9058093400
Product Description
The complexities of designing piles for lateral load are mainfold. Wind forces act against overhead signs and high rise buildings and loads from waves and currents are frequently critical to the design of offshore structures and bridges. Waterfront structures must support horizontal loads from the berthing of ships, retaining walls must withstand lateral earth pressures. Such structures are often founded on piles which may be steel pipes or reinforced concrete columns. In navigating the complexities of lateral-load design, the book presents procedures for designing the piles and pile groups; a problem that can only be solved by accounting for the soil resistance as related to the lateral deflection of the pile.
This book guides the designer into finding the critical loads, either causing a pile to be overloaded or causing too much lateral deflection. Complex equations are derived and explained, and computer programs are used to solve the equations. Simplified versions of the two required programs are presented on a CD-ROM, allowing the reader to check the solution of some of the many examples given in the book and to find answers to related problems. Applications of the method are presented for the design of piles for a building, an offshore structure, an overhead sign, etc.

The scaling issue remains one of the largest problems in soil science and hydrology. This book is a unique compendium of ideas, conceptual approaches, techniques, and methodologies for scaling soil physical properties. Scaling Methods in Soil Physics covers many methods of scaling that will be useful in helping scientists across a range of soil-related disciplines. The first single-source reference in this developing field, the text will help readers develop a greater understanding of how to interpret remote sensing data, delineate management zones in agricultural fields, and estimate water yield and geochemical fluxes in watersheds, among other applications. The authors present the state-of-the-art in addressing the fundamental scale-bridging problem and provide case studies crossing several levels of scale hierarchy. Scaling Methods in Soil Physics offers novel approaches based on geostatistics, artificial intelligence, wavelet transforms, fractal theory, soil-landscape relationships, computer simulations, and advances in theories of scale developed and tested to facilitate the use of soil physics data in a wide variety of soil/land/earth-related applications.
