Review:
This book is very well illustrated and has adequate reference to thoer reference books. this book should be on the book shelf of every practising engineer′ THe Institution of Structural Engineers.
Product Description:
This manual for civil and structural engineers aims to simplify as much as possible a complex subject which is often treated too theoretically, by explaining in a practical way how to provide uncomplicated, buildable and economical foundations.
It explains simply, clearly and with numerous worked examples how economic foundation design is achieved. It deals with both straightforward and difficult sites, following the process through site investigation, foundation selection and, finally, design.
The book:
* includes chapters on many aspects of foundation engineering that most other books avoid including
o filled and contaminated sites
o mining and other man–made conditions
* features a step–by–step procedure for the design of lightweight and flexible rafts, to fill the gap in guidance in this much neglected, yet extremely economical foundation solution
* concentrates on foundations for building structures rather than the larger civil engineering foundations
* includes many innovative and economic solutions developed and used by the authors’ practice but not often covered in other publications
* provides an extensive series of appendices as a valuable reference source.
For the Second Edition the chapter on contaminated and derelict sites has been updated to take account of the latest guidelines on the subject, including BS 10175. Elsewhere, throughout the book, references have been updated to take account of the latest technical publications and relevant British Standards.

Shotcrete: More Engineering Developments: Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Engineering Developments in Shotcrete, October 2004, Cairns, Queensland, Australia.
E.S. Bernard
Taylor & Francis | ISBN: 0415358981 | September 15, 2004 | PDF (OCR) | 304 pages | 9107 KB
Shotcrete is an evolving technology that has seen many recent innovations introduced. These innovations have been vigorously adopted in Australia, particularly in the underground mining industry. For this reason, the use of shotcrete within Australian mines has been highlighted in many of the papers included in these proceedings. The civil tunneling industry has also been active in adopting new technologies related to shotcrete, and almost every tunnel planned or built in recent years has incorporated this material as a means of ground support. Numerous papers in these proceedings have therefore addressed issues of relevance to civil tunneling, such as post-crack performance, creep, and lining design. Other papers address topics ranging from repair, accreditation of nozzlemen, and early-age performance, to the blast resistance of shotcrete linings.
This text presents the proceedings of the Second International Conference on Engineering Developments in Shotcrete, a conference that was organized by the Australian Shotcrete Society to promote the dissemination of information about developments in shotcrete technology to the Australian and International communities. The organizing committee has included individuals from many sectors of the shotcrete industry, including contractors, material suppliers, and consultants, and assistance in staging the conference was provided by the American Shotcrete Association and the Norwegian Concrete Association.

Since the occurrence of earthquakes and their properties are very uncertain even with the present knowledge, it is too difficult to define reasonable design ground motions especially for important buildings. In the seismic resistant design of building structures, the concept of 'performance-based design' has become a new paradigm guaranteeing the maximum satisfaction of building owners. The quality and reliability of the performance-based design certainly depend on the scientific rationality of design ground motions. In order to overcome this problem, a new paradigm has to be posed. To the author's knowledge, the concept of 'critical excitation' and the structural design based upon this concept can become one of such new paradigms. This book introduces a new probabilistic and energy-based critical excitation approach to overcome several problems in the scientific and rational modelling of ground motions. The author hopes that this book will help the development of new seismic-resistant design methods of buildings for such unpredicted or unpredictable ground motions.
- First comprehensive book for critical excitation methods
- Including updated, cutting-edge research
- Applicable to other worst-case analysis problems
- Including comprehensive review of critical excitation methods
- Including verification by comprehensive recorded ground motions

Reliability-Based Design in Geotechnical Engineering: Computations and Applications
By Kok-Kwang Phoon
* Publisher: Taylor & Francis
* Number Of Pages: 530
* Publication Date: 2008-06-19
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0415396301
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780415396301
* Binding: Hardcover
Product Description:
Reliability-based design is the only engineering methodology currently available which can ensure self-consistency in both physical and probabilistic terms. It is also uniquely compatible with the theoretical basis underlying other disciplines such as structural design. It is especially relevant as geotechnical design becomes subject to increasing codification and to code harmonization across national boundaries and material types. Already some codes of practice describe the principles and requirements for safety, serviceability, and durability of structures in reliability terms.This book presents practical computational methods in concrete steps that can be followed by practitioners and students. It also provides geotechnical examples illustrating reliability analysis and design. It aims to encourage geotechnical engineers to apply reliability-based design in a realistic context that recognises the complex variabilities in geomaterials and model uncertainties arising from a profession steeped in empiricism. By focusing on learning through computations and examples, this book serves as a valuable reference for engineers and a resource for students.

No engineering structure can be built on the ground or within it without the influence of geology being experienced by the engineer. Yet geology must remain an ancillary subject to students of engineering and it is therefore essential that their training is supported by a concise, reliable and usable text on the subject of geology and its relationship to engineering. In this book all the fundamental aspects of geology are described and explained, but within the limits thought suitable for engineers.
Thus the structure of the Earth and the operation of its internal processes are described, together with the geological processes that shape and fashion the Earth and produce its rocks and soils. The commonly occurring types of rock and soil, and many types of geological structure and geological maps, are described. Throughout the book care has been taken to focus on the relationship between geology and geomechanics. For this reason emphasis has been placed on the geological processes that bear directly upon the composition, structure and mechanics of soil and rocks, and on the movement of groundwater. The descriptions of geological processes and their products are therefore used as the basis for explaining why it is important to investigate the ground and how the investigations may be conducted at ground level and underground. Specific instruction is provided on the relationship between geology and many common activities undertaken when engineering in rock and soil.

This book presents a comprehensive coverage of the two interrelated and interdisciplinary fields of seismic microzonation and earthquake geotechnical engineering. The introduction and the first chapter by two prominent researchers in the field of earthquake geotechnical engineering are setting the stage for the main theme of the book. The second chapter gives a general overview of the methods for estimating earthquake impact in large urban areas and the importance of the scale in zonation studies. The six following chapters are dealing with the main topics of strong ground motion, site characterization, site effects, liquefaction, and seismic microzonation. The last three chapters are concerned with geotechnical earthquake engineering, with special emphasis on solid waste landfills and lining systems, and earthquake resistant design of shallow and deep foundation subjected to earthquakes.
