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.

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.

ISBN-10 / ASIN: 189779990X
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781897799901
Product Description:
This latest volume in the second edition of Rock-Forming Minerals deals mainly with the sulphates, carbonates, phosphates and halides. This voulume has been completely rewritten and considerably expanded, incorporating the many advances in knowledge arising from new and improved techniques for investigating minerals. Since the publication of the first edition, crystal structures are now far better known, and the use of the electron-probemicroanalysis has led to an even greater appeciation of the chemical variations in many of the minerals. Furthermore studies offliud inclusions and of stable isotope ratios have given new data temperatures of crystallization and genetic sequences. Each mineral chapter is divided into section on structure, chemistry, optical and physical properties, distinguishing features and paragenesis. Chapters are headed with brief tabulations of mineral data and a sketch of optical orientation. This book also includes results from the ocean floor experimentation and deep sea drilling.

Double Chain Silicates (Rock-Forming Minerals) (v. 2B)
By William Alexander Deer, R. A. Howie, J. Zussman
Publisher: Geological Society of London
Number Of Pages: 784
Publication Date: 1997-08-01
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1897799772
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781897799772
Product Description:
This latest volume in the second edition of Rock-Forming Minerals deals mainly with the amphiboles, but sections have been added on deerite, howieite and multiple-chain silicates (biopyriboles). In the years since the first edition, the quantity and scope of research on amphiboles and relate minerals has grown enormously and has given rise to a wide variety of literature. This book, which has been completely re-written and greatly expanded, summarizes the important research results and presents them in an organized fashion. Each chapter is headed by a brief tabulation of mineral data and a sketch showing optical orientation, and concludes with full references to the literature. Diagrams of the crystal structures are presented and followed by discussion of the structural features, making use of data from spectroscopic as well as diffraction experiments.The chemical sections include over 550 analyses from which structural formulae have been calculated, illustrating the range of chemical and paragenetic variation exhibited by each mineral; also the results of P-T experiments, thermochemical and computer modelling techniques. The sections on optical and physical properties include much information gained by electron microscopy and also by deformation studies. The principal modes of occurrence are described in the paragenesis sections emphasizing correlations with chemistry. Rock-Forming Minerals is a standard reference work for professionals in mineralogy, petrology and geochemistry, as well as having a wide appeal as a referencework for postgraduate research students and research workers in related fields.
