Earthquake Monitoring and Seismic Hazard Mitigation in Balkan Countries (NATO Science Series: IV: Earth and Environmental Sciences)
By Eystein S. Husebye
Publisher: Springer
Number Of Pages: 289
Publication Date: 2008-05-08
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 140206814X
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781402068140
Product Description:
Seismology is rated the Queen of Earth Sciences due to its ability to provide detailed structural information bearing on the Earth interior and on-going dynamic processes. This is due to the advanced theoretical foundation of seismology and the extensive cooperation among seismologists on recording and disseminating of data worldwide. In contrast, some 40 years ago seismology was a backward science and hence funding was poor.
This abruptly changed with the political interest in seismology as the principal tool for monitoring compliance with a potential Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban treaty (CTBT) banning nuclear testing in any environment.
Major countries like USA, UK and USSR launched large-scale research programs including deployment of modern seismograph stations and arrays and these developments are detailed in the book for CTBTO (UN), IRIS (USA), MedNet (Italy), Geofon (Germany) and the tiny Karelia network, NW Russia. Station and network operations require near real time record analysis and topics dealt with here are 2-D signal detector, epicenter location and earthquake monitoring. Balkan is seismically the most active part of Europe due to multiple plate interactions in the Aegean Sea. The tectonic evolution and on-going geodynamic deformations are described in 2 articles. Earthquake hazard analysis and topographic site effects are discussed and likewise large earthquake hazards in the Aegean and the Marmara seas relate to practical applications of such procedures. Foremost; the book gives a good account of past, present and likely future seismological developments in Balkan countries and various kinds of network operations on local to global scales.

Residual soils are found in many parts of the world. They are formed when rock weathering is faster than transport processes by water, gravity and wind. As an effect, much of the soils formed remain at the place of formation and many of the characteristics of the parent rock are retained. In tropical regions, residual soil layers can be very thick, sometimes extending for hundreds of meters before reaching un-weathered rock. Tropical Residual Soils Engineering forms a unique work with regard to other books on soil mechanics and soil engineering as it is entirely devoted to soils in tropical areas. Subjects treated are the origin, testing, and properties of tropical residual soils; application and stabilization of tropical residual soils; slope, slope assessment, and stabilization; development guidelines; and geoenvironmental aspects and development of a spatial database. The technical content is illustrated by a case study. Tropical Residual Soils Engineering is authored by experts that have gained extensive experience with this type of soil. This state-of-the art matter is intended for graduate students, researchers and professionals in soil & rock mechanics and geotechnical engineering working in tropical regions.

***************************************
One of the principal challenges in structural engineering concerns the development of innovative design concepts to better protect structures, together with their occupants and contents, from the damaging effects of destructive environmental forces including those due to winds, waves and earthquakes. Passive energy dissipation devices, when incorporated into a structure, absorb or consume a portion of the input energy,thereby reducing energy dissipation demand on primary structural members and minimizing possible structural damage. This book is a unified treatment of passive energy dissipation systems. Basic principles, mathematical modeling, practical considerations, implementation issues and structural applications are discussed for each major device type. Numerous examples and case studies are included.
From the Publisher
Passive energy dissipation is one of the structural protective systems used to strengthen existing structures by incorporating devices that are intended to absorb or consume a port of the input energy, thereby reducing energy dissipation demand on primary structural members and minimising possible structural damage. All major types of energy dissipation device are presented and discussed in this book, including those currently installed in structures throughout the world as well as possible future developments in the field.

Product Description:
Many sectors of industry, including engineering, appreciate the importance of good project management for delivering projects in accordance with predetermined objectives. As a result, industrialists and engineering institutions have called for the inclusion of a significant proportion of project management in higher level degrees and there has been a marked increase in Continuing Professional Development, CPD, courses for professionals.
This book provides a clear description of the aims of project management and discusses the theory and practice of project management, particularly in relation to multi-disciplinary engineering projects, both large and small, in the UK and overseas.
The new edition features:
* new chapters on stakeholders, on supply and value chain management, and on effective partnering, with revised sections on privately financed concessions
* updated and expanded information on risk management
? new chapter on the project management of design
* updated and new sections covering environmental impact and the interface with project management
The expertise of the authors gained from their promotion of effective project management through a combination of professional experience, research, consultancy, education and training should be beneficial to both students of project management and recently appointed or practising project managers. The material is appropriate to support Masters level teaching, MSc, MBA and MEng, either by universities or others, action or distance learning courses and self learning programmes.

Review:
"… a most important contribution from which both rock mechanics engineers and geophysicists will benefit immensely."
From: IJRMMS 44 (2007), 1172 - 1176
Product Description:
Seismic measurements take many forms, and have a universal role in the earth sciences. There are huge rewards to be gained from ‘seeing’ below the earth’s surface. This unique book describes seismic behaviour at many scales, and provides the appropriate interpretation in terms of rock mechanics.
Reviewing examples of seismic measurements from numerous fields in civil, mining, petroleum, geophysics, and tectonophysics, and stretching over ten orders of magnitude, the book considers seismic measurements from microcrack compliance in laboratory tests samples to crustal and mid-ocean ridge measurements, where the emphasis is on velocity-depth-age models. Between these extremes, Dr Barton covers in situ block tests, borehole stability, dam and bridge foundations, quarry blasting, transportation tunnels, rock caverns, nuclear waste repository studies and mine openings. The approach is cross-disciplinary and deliberately non-mathematical and phenomenological in nature, with a wealth of figures and a wide review of the literature from many earth science fields.
Intended for consultants, practitioners, university teachers and senior students in geophysics, geology and engineering geology who are engaged with the interpretation of seismic measurements in rock and petroleum engineering.
