Product Description:
Forensic geoscience is an increasingly important sub-discipline within geoscience and forensic science. Although minerals, soils, dusts and rock fragments have been used as forensic trace evidence for many years, their true potential has only begun to be recognized in the last ten years or so. The police and other investigative bodies are keen to encourage such developments in the fight against crime, particularly since many criminals show a high level of forensic awareness with regard to evidence such as fingerprints, blood and other body fluids. The papers in this volume illustrate some of the main principles, techniques and applications in current forensic geoscience, covering research and casework in the UK and internationally. The techniques described range from macro-scale field geophysical investigations to micro-scale laboratory studies of the chemical and textural properties of individual particles. In addition to forensic applications, many of these techniques have broad utility in geological, geomorphological, soil science and archaeological research.

Mechanics of Geomaterial Interfaces

Product Description:
Hardbound. The subject of geomaterial interfaces recognizes the important influences of the interface behaviour on the performance of interfaces involving cementaceous materials such as concrete and steel, ice-structure interfaces, concrete-rock interfaces and interfaces encountered in soil reinforcement. During the past two decades, the subject of geomaterial interfaces has attracted the concerted attention of scientists and engineers both in geomechanics and applied mechanics. These efforts have been largely due to the observation that the conventional idealizations of the behaviour of interfaces between materials by frictionless contact, bonded contact, Coulomb friction or finite friction tend to omit many interesting and important influences of special relevance to geomaterials. The significant manner in which non-linear effects, dilatancy, contact degradation, hardening and softening, etc., can influence the behaviour of the interface is borne out by

Product Description:
Civil and environmental engineers need an understanding of mathematical statistics and probability theory to deal with the variability that affects engineers' structures, soil pressures, river flows and the like. Students, too, need to get to grips with these rather difficult concepts.
This book, written by engineers for engineers, tackles the subject in a clear, up-to-date manner using a process-orientated approach. It introduces the subjects of mathematical statistics and probability theory, and then addresses model estimation and testing, regression and multivariate methods, analysis of extreme events, simulation techniques, risk and reliability, and economic decision making.
325 examples and case studies from European and American practice are included and each chapter features realistic problems to be solved.
For the second edition new sections have been added on Monte Carlo Markov chain modeling with details of practical Gibbs sampling, sensitivity analysis and aleatory and epistemic uncertainties, and copulas. Throughout, the text has been revised and modernized.

Porous Pavements (Integrative Studies in Water Management and Land Development)
By Bruce K. Ferguson
Publisher: CRC
Number Of Pages: 600
Publication Date: 2005-02-18
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0849326702
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780849326707
Pavements are the most ubiquitous of all man-made structures, and they have an enormous impact on environmental quality. They are responsible for hydrocarbon pollutants, excess runoff, groundwater decline and the resulting local water shortages, temperature increases in the urban “heat island,” and for the ability of trees to extend their roots in order to live. Porous pavements, despite their ability to mitigate these factors, remain the object of much skepticism and controversy. Written by a renowned expert with 25 years of experience in urban watershed management, Porous Pavements is the first comprehensive “encyclopedia” of porous pavement materials. The book begins with five chapters that lay a foundation for all porous pavement materials and applications, introducing the types of materials and arrangements, their roles in the urban environment, and the principles of pavement structure, hydrology, and rooting space. The following nine chapters outline the costs, maintenance requirements, advantages and disadvantages for different applications, installation methods, sources of standard specifications, and performance levels for each family of porous pavement materials. Relying on case studies and factual data from observed experience, and containing abundant references for further information, Porous Pavements gives responsible practitioners a complete toolbox from which to select the appropriate material for site-specific conditions, providing a “green” alternative to impervious pavements.

Summary: source code error
Rating: 4
I have tried some Pascal procedures in this book and found some errors with them. Please look into Table 26.3, 26.5 & 26.7. No error is found with Table 26.4.
Hope the authors can debug all procedures and e-mail me the bug-free procedure.

Adjustment Computations: Statistics and Least Squares in Surveying and GIS (Wiley Series in Surveying and Boundary Control)
By Paul R. Wolf, Charles D. Ghilani
Publisher: Wiley-Interscience
Number Of Pages: 584
Publication Date: 1997-02-05
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0471168335
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780471168331
Product Description:
The complete guide to adjusting for measurement error expanded and updated.
All measurements contain errors. And with global positioning systems, total station instruments, digital metric cameras, and satellite imaging systems now generating vast quantities of data, adjustment for errors is crucial to accurate interpretation. Adjustment Computations provides a complete, up-to-date treatment of every aspect of least squares adjustment, the most rigorous procedure available for computing adjustments to measured data.
This comprehensive work starts with basic principles and proceeds to the development of proper mathematical and stochastic models. Advanced topics include use of constraint equations and blunder detection. Each chapter is supported by clear, practical examples, numerous illustrations, and helpful end-of-chapter problems. The accompanying disk contains three software packages: statistical analysis, the performance of least squares adjustments, and basic matrix operations.
New material in this expanded edition includes:
Error propagation in angle and distance measurements, traverse computations, and elevation determination
Confidence intervals and statistical testing
Adjustment of GPS networks
Blunder detection in horizontal survey networks.
An excellent reference and self-study source for working surveyors, photogrammetrists, and GIS managers, this book is an indispensable resource for students preparing for the LSIT, LS, and PE exams and the ideal text for courses in surveying, civil engineering, forestry, cartography, and geology.
