Product Description
This book gives readers the tools to start designing 3-D seismic surveys. The substantial experiences of the authors in designing and acquiring land 3-D seismic surveys make this a practical and useful book. Readers are expected to have a general working knowledge of 2-D seismic data acquisition, processing, and interpretation. Some 3-D experience is helpful but not necessary to understand this material. Practical exercises are included to facilitate understanding of the subject matter. Some geophysicists may want to enhance their knowledge of 3-D design by reading papers concerning their particular special interests. A reference list and a collection of other recommended reading are included. A searchable CD-ROM of the entire contents of the book also is included.

Product Description:
The leading authority in the field offers a unique and comprehensive treatment of the construction aspects of offshore structures, rather than the more commonly addressed design considerations. Extensively updated, this second edition provides a new chapter on extending offshore technologies to inland waterways and emphasizes recent advances-including floating structures, deep-water structures, ice-resistant structures, and bridge foundations. Construction of Marine and Offshore Structures details all the particulars of building in a marine environment, including construction equipment, marine operations, installing piles, pipelines, and cables, steel and concrete offshore platforms, and underwater repairs.Construction of Marine and Offshore Structures provides an essential reference to engineers in the oil and service industries and to marine construction planners, designers, and contractors.New in the second edition:oHow the physical environment and geotechnical conditions affect constructionoIncreased attention to protecting the natural environment and compliance with regulatory provisionsoRecent developments in positioning, instrumentation, and underwater inspection, plus a new section on concrete and steel floating structures and installing permanent mooringsoExpanded treatment of deep water bridge piers as well as locks and dams on major rivers.

Product Description:
Unique, cutting-edge material on structural dynamics and natural forces for offshore structures
Using the latest advances in theory and practice, Dynamics of Offshore Structures, Second Edition is extensively revised to cover all aspects of the physical forces, structural modeling, and mathematical methods necessary to effectively analyze the dynamic behavior of offshore structures. Both closed-form solutions and the Mathematica® software package are used in many of the up-to-date example problems to compute the deterministic and stochastic structural responses for such offshore structures as buoys; moored ships; and fixed-bottom, cable-stayed, and gravity-type platforms.
Throughout the book, consideration is given to the many assumptions involved in formulating a structural model and to the natural forces encountered in the offshore environment. These analyses focus on plane motions of elastic structures with linear and nonlinear restraints, as well as motions induced by the forces of currents, winds, earthquakes, and waves, including the latest theories and information on wave mechanics. Topics addressed include multidegree of freedom linear structures, continuous system analysis (including the motion of cables and pipelines), submerged pile design, structural modal damping, fluid-structure-soil interactions, and single degree of freedom structural models that, together with plane wave loading theories, lead to deterministic or time history predictions of structural responses. These analyses are extended to statistical descriptions of both wave loading and structural motion.
Dynamics of Offshore Structures, Second Edition is a valuable text for students in civil and mechanical engineering programs and an indispensable resource for structural, geotechnical, and construction engineers working with offshore projects.

Review:
"This handbook meets the challenge of presenting a depth of knowledge and references that will bring the reader up to date on the new concepts and structures that have emerged in the application of technology to deep ocean structures. Each of the 16 chapters is written by a professional deeply steeped in experiences pertaining to the chapter written."
- Alice Trussell, Director, Kansas State University

From the reviews of the first edition:
"This book is an introduction to the numerical methods that are frequently used in science and engineering undergraduate courses and it is based on the MATLAB programming environment. … The text is easy to read even for those who have little experience with computer practice. … There are three appendices and the most useful of them, about 70 pages, gives solutions to the tasks at the end of chapters." (Matti Vuorinen, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1076, 2006)
Product Description:
This text provides a first course in numerical methods and programming taught through the medium of MATLAB. It is designed to give readers their first exposure to any kind of programming. The first three chapters introduce readers to the power of MATLAB without overwhelming them with its advanced features; the text then covers all the elementary material associated with numerical methods, and helps students develop skills in algorithm design. Examples of code are provided to debug, hence accentuating the need for precision, and developing readers? skills in finding errors in their own work. At the end of each chapter, tasks are provided to reinforce the ideas introduced, with full solutions at the back of the book. A glossary of terms is provided, with each term supported by an example of the syntaxes commonly encountered.
Aimed at first and second year undergraduates in mathematics and engineering, this book will also be invaluable for engineers who need to use MATLAB in their work environment.

Review
'I found this book very easy to read. Complex concepts are clearly explained and only essential mathematics is included. In particular the chapters on amplitudes and inversion were especially good and have not to my knowledge been adequately covered at an introductory level before. Each chapter concludes with a list of references which can be followed up if the reader requires more detailed information. The book is aimed at geologists and geophysicists who may be new to interpreting seismic data, and although titled 3-D Seismic Interpretation there is much to be learned from within this volume about interpretation of other forms of seismic data. For a comprehensive guide to getting the most out of seismic data [this book] has few competitors.' Geological Magazine 'The authors provide a basic overview of seismic interpretation suitable for newcomers to the industry, or specialists in other fields who need an understanding of the siemic interpretation process. The book is short and very readable. The book is short and very readable. The chapters are broken up nicely into logical and easily absorbed presentations. ...offers a comprehensive survey of the entire seismic process from acquisition through interpretation and visualisation, hitting many key technical high points such as rock physics, inversion, and time lapse to name a few. ... I would recommend the book to readers who require a quick overview and introduction to seismic interpretation.' The Leading Edge

Purpose and Scope of the Book
'GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING'
There are not many books which cover both soil mechanics and foundation engineering which a student can use for his paper on Geotechnical Engineering. This paper is studied compulsorily and available books, whatever few are there, have not been found satisfactory. Students are compelled to refer to three or four books to meet their requirements. The author has been prompted by the lack of a good comprehensive textbook to write this present work. He has made a sincere effort to sum up his experience of thirty three years of teaching in the present book. The notable features of the book are as follows:
1. The S.1. (Standard International) System of Units, which is a modification of the Metric System of units, is adopted. A note on the S.l. Units is included by way of elucidation. The reader is requested to refer to the latest revised versions of the 1.8. codes mentioned in the book.
2. Reference is made to the relevant Indian Standards, wherever applicable.
3. The number of illustrative problems as well as the number of practice problems:is made as large as possible so as to cover the various types of problems likely to be encountered. The problems are carefully graded with regard to their toughness,
4. A few "objective questions" are also included.
5. "Summary of Main Points" is given at the end of each Chapter.
6. References are given at the end of each Chapter.
7. Symbols and nomenclature adopted are mostly consistent, while being in close agreement with the internationally standardised. ones.
8. The sequence of topics and subtopics is made as logical as possible.
9. The author does not pretend to claim any originality for the material, the sources being appropriately acknowledged; however, he does claim some degree of it in the presentation, in the degree of lucidity sought to be imparted, and in his efforts to combine the good features of previous works in this field, In view of the meager number of books in this field in S.I. Units, this can be expected to be a valuable contribution to the existing literature.
