This book is the long-awaited successor to Owen Phillips's classic textbook, Flow and Reactions in Permeable Rocks, published in 1991. In the intervening 18 years between the two, significant advances have been made to our understanding of subterranean flow, especially through the vast amount of research into underground storage of nuclear waste and aquifer pollution. This new book integrates and extends these modern ideas and techniques and applies them to the physics and chemistry of sub-surface flows in water-saturated, sandy and rocky media. It describes essential scientific concepts and tools for hydrologists and public health ecologists concerned with present day flow and transport, and also for geologists who interpret present day patterns of mineralization in terms of fluid flow in the distant past. The book is ideal for graduate students and professionals in hydrology, water resources, and aqueous geochemistry.

The Screen Calipers are the unique on-screen measurement tool, that let you measure anything on your computer with ultimate accuracy.
To Use the Calipers drag them over the portion of a window you want to measure with the mouse. To extend the calipers drag the right hand side out using the mouse. The number in the text box will show the space being measured.

Introduction to the Mechanics of Solids: In S.I.Units
By Stephen H. Crandall, Norman C. Dahl
Publisher: McGraw Hill Higher Education
Number Of Pages: 640 , 80 Mb , PDF
Publication Date: 1978-04-01

This text is concerned with the mechanics of rigid and deformable solids in equilibrium. It has been prepared by members of the Mechanical Engineering Department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for use as a text in the first course in applied mechanics.The central aim has been to treat this subject as an engineering science. To this end the authors have clearly identified three fundamental physical considerations which govern the mechanics of solids in equilibrium, and all discussion and theoretical development has been related to these basic considerations.

Advanced Testing and Characterization of Bituminous Materials
Andreas Loizos, Manfred N. Partl, Tom Scarpas, Imad L. Al-qadi, "Advanced Testing and Characterization of Bituminous Materials"
CRC | 2009 | ISBN: 0415558549 | 1336 pages | PDF | 34 MB
A demonstration that modern experimental material characterization techniques, sophisticated constitutive modeling, and innovative design provide appropriate tools for pavement performance prediction.
From the Back Cover
Bituminous materials are used to build durable roads that sustain diverse environmental conditions. However, due to their complexity and a global shortage of these materials, their design and technical development present several challenges. Advanced Testing and Characterisation of Bituminous Materials focuses on fundamental and performance testing of binders and asphaltic mixtures. Issues addressed in the volume include:
- Evaluation of binder properties with respect to durability relevant to distress accumulationand application
- Testing and modelling the influence of climate and ageing effects on performance
- Characterization and design of bituminous mixtures with respect to performance
- Evaluation of fundamental laboratory test methods and models for pavement performance prediction
- Laboratory compaction methods and models with respect to field compaction
- Test methods for the assessment of the structural behaviour and performance of pavements
- Investigation of pavement performance prediction and evaluation sections
- Testing, mix design and evaluation of recycled bituminous road materials
- Synthesis of international coordinated research initiatives for the development of performance related test methods and specifications
Advanced Testing and Characterisation of Bituminous Materials demonstrates that modern experimental material characterization techniques, sophisticated constitutive modeling, and innovative design provide appropriate tools for pavement performance prediction. The book is of interest to academics and engineers in pavement and road engineering

Description:
This text presents a thorough examination of the theories and methodologies available for risk assessment in geotechnical engineering, spanning the full range from established single–variable and "first order" methods to the most recent, advanced numerical developments. In response to the growing application of LRFD methodologies in geotechnical design, coupled with increased demand for risk assessments from clients ranging from regulatory agencies to insurance companies, authors Fenton and Griffiths have introduced an innovative reliability–based risk assessment method, the Random Finite Element Method (RFEM). The authors have spent more than fifteen years developing this statistically based method for modeling the real spatial variability of soils and rocks. As demonstrated in the book, RFEM performs better in real–world applications than traditional risk assessment tools that do not properly account for the spatial variability of geomaterials.
This text is divided into two parts:
Part One, Theory, explains the theory underlying risk assessment methods in geotechnical engineering. This part′s seven chapters feature more than 100 worked examples, enabling you to develop a detailed understanding of the methods.
Part Two, Practice, demonstrates how to use advanced probabilistic tools for several classical geotechnical engineering applications. Working with the RFEM, the authors show how to assess risk in problems familiar to all geotechnical engineers.
