Maximize a geographical information tool by incorporating it with up-to-date remotely sensed data
GIS is predominantly a data-handling technology, while remote sensing is a data retrieval and analysis technology. This book addresses the need to combine remotely sensed data with cartographic, socioeconomic, and environmental data and GIS functionalities.
Remote Sensing and GIS Integration begins with theoretical discussions, followed by a series of application areas in urban and environmental studies that employ the integration of remote sensing and GIS. Each application area is examined through analysis of state-of-the-art methods and detailed presentations of one or more case studies.

Stress Field of the Earth's Crust
Arno Zang, Ove Stephansson,
Springer | 2009 | ISBN: 1402084439 | 240 pages | PDF | 5,9 MB
This book about rock stress is suitable for students in geosciences and engineering, who need to broaden their horizon about the Stress Field of the Earth´s Crust. The book covers the topic in a way such that geoscience students will be able to grasp the Cauchy Stress Principle without fear of matrix transformations in an exercise. Students interested in math, physics and engineering will learn to cement a strain gauge on a rock specimen, measure residual strains by multiple overcoring and evaluate the results. Leading edge technology in determining stress (Kaiser Effect) is presented together with classical methods (Hydraulic Fracturing). In addition, borehole techniques (Breakouts) and drillcore techniques (Anelastic Strain Recovery) are illustrated. With respect to stress data, we choose locations of global interest where integrated stress determination strategies have been applied. Each case study presented has special application, like the scientific ultra-deep drilling project (KTB, Germany), drilling of seismic active fault zones (SAFOD, USA) and excavation for nuclear waste disposal (Forsmark, Sweden). Stress compilations viewed by the World Stress Map project are presented and interpreted in terms of plate tectonics. The purpose of this book is twofold. First, to report on the current field of knowledge in rock stress to students at an introduction level and second, to inform readers about stress measurements in underground excavations of public interest and about global rock stress in plate tectonic settings.
This textbook consists of three main chapters accompanied by a DVD containing twelve video lectures presenting the same material in a self-instructed way. Exercises, laboratory testing and colour animations are included to emphasize the role of stress in various fields of solid earth sciences.

Luiz A. Mendes-Victor, Carlos S. Sousa Oliveira, João Azevedo, António Ribeiro, "The 1755 Lisbon Earthquake: Revisited"
Springer | ISBN: 1402086083 | November 1, 2008 | 600 pages | PDF | 11.9MB
The 1755 earthquake and tsunami were influential not only in Portugal but in all European and North African countries where the devastating effects were felt. The entire world was deeply impressed and the discussion of its causes generated a large amount of scientific and metaphysical speculation. It inspired philosophers, poets and writers. The socio-economic consequences of the event were great and affected the future organization and development of Portugal. The possibility of a similar occurence urges society and the scientific community to reflect on its lessons.

The Effects of Higher Strength and Associated Concrete Properties on Pavement Performance
This report documents the investigation of the effect of strength and other associated concrete properties of the long-term performance of concrete pavements. Performance criteria used included joint spalling, faulting and transverse slab cracking. Project variables included pavement age, traffic, climate, distress levels and types, joint spacing and compressive strength. Compressive strength was found to correlate well with permeability. Concrete characteristics found to be desirable include compressive strength in the 45 to 50 MPa range, flexural strength in the 4.5 to 6.0 range, non-alakali reactive aggregate that is freeze-thaw distress resistant, a well- graded aggregate with large top size, water-cement ratio of 0.42 to 0.45 and cement content of approximately 335 kg/m3.
Prototype mixture designs were developed for different climatic regions. This report will be of interest to those involved in concrete pavement mixture design, as well as those involved in the design, construction and analysis of concrete pavements.
Sufficient copies are being distributed to provide 10 copies to each FHWA Resource Center, five copies to each FHWA Division, and five copies to each State highway agency. Direct distribution is being made to the FHWA Division Offices. Additional copies may be purchased from the National Technical Information Service (NTIS), 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, Virginia 22161.

This report reviews the state of the art in design, construction, and maintenance of joints in concrete structures subjected to a wide variety of use and environmental conditions. In some cases, the option of eliminating joints is considered. Aspects of various joint sealant materials and jointing techniques are discussed. The reader is referred to ACI 504R for a more comprehensive treatment of sealant materials, and to ACI 224R for a broad discussion of the causes and control of cracking in concrete construction.
Chapters in the report focus on various types of structures and structural elements with unique characteristics: buildings, bridges, slabs-on-grade, tunnel linings, canal linings, precast concrete pipe, liquid-retaining structures, walls, and mass concrete.
