Groundwater Lowering in Construction: A Practical Guide to Dewatering, Second Edition
Author: Pat M. Cashman and Martin Preene | Size: 87.20 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: CRC Press | Year: 2012 | pages: 645 | ISBN: 9780415668378
Linking theory and application in a way that is clear and understandable, Groundwater Lowering in Construction: A Practical Guide to Dewatering, Second Edition uses the authors’ extensive engineering experience to offer practical guidance on the planning, design, and implementation of groundwater control systems under real conditions.
Discover engineering methods that can help you improve working conditions, increase project viability, and reduce excavation costs.
In the decade since publication of this book’s first edition, groundwater lowering and dewatering activities have been increasingly integrated into the wider ground engineering schemes on major excavations to help provide stable and workable conditions for construction below groundwater level. Consequently, many engineering ventures now require a more in-depth assessment of potential environmental impacts of dewatering and groundwater control, and this book details the latest best practices to evaluate and address them.
Includes New Chapters Covering:
- Cutoff methods used for groundwater exclusion
- Issues associated with permanent or long-term groundwater control systems
- Groundwater control technologies used on contaminated sites
- Methods needed to understand, predict, and mitigate potential environmental impacts of groundwater control works
Updated to reflect the crucial technological and application advances shaping construction processes, this book contains valuable direction that can give you a true competitive advantage in the planning and execution of temporary and permanent dewatering works. The authors cover cutting-edge methods and key subjects, such as the history of dewatering, working on contaminated sites, site investigation techniques, and operation and maintenance issues, including health, safety, and legal aspects. Written for practising engineers and geologists as well as postgraduate engineering students, this updated manual on design and practice provides numerous case histories and extensive references to enhance understanding.

Author: Abdul Razzak Rumane, Director, Construction Quality Management, Dar Alkuwait Alkhaleejia for Consultation and Training, Kuwait | Size: 3.89 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: CRC Press | Year: 2013 | pages: 413 | ISBN: 9781466552142
Dealing with such a multi-layered and fungible intangible as quality during the design and construction process is difficult for all parties involved. To the architect, quality means an appealing and enduring design, but to the builder, it means understandable documents that, when acted upon, lead to an enduring, well-made structure. To the owner, it is the end result: a building that is not only fit for the purpose, but a positive addition to its surroundings. Reconciling these seemingly contrasting priorities requires processes that are embedded not just at the project level, but within the entire enterprise with designer, builder, and owner committed to integrating quality into all their business processes.
Quality Tools for Managing Construction Projects not only details the importance of developing a comprehensive management system, but provides the tools and techniques required to do so. The book examines the usage and applications of tools and techniques in different phases of a construction project, focusing on plan quality, quality assurance, and quality control. Following the construction cycle, Dr. Rumane delineates the quality tools and their application, ending with the implementation of quality systems throughout the entire design and construction cycle.
The book demonstrates how these tools can help in planning, executing, monitoring, and controlling a project—evolving project management into a system that ensures project deliverables consistently meet the defined scope on schedule and within budget. The author’s systems perspective recognizes and supports the ideal collaborative approach that modern design and construction projects need. Dr. Rumane then demonstrates that successful quality management is more than a series of handoffs between teams who’ve completed tasks.

Geosynthetic Clay Liners for Waste Containment Facilities
Author: Abdelmalek Bouazza, Monash University, Australia; John J. Bowders, Jr., University of Missouri, USA | Size: 14.17 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: CRC Press | Year: 2010 | pages: 257 | ISBN: 9780203855232
Increasingly stringent regulation of pollution and waste production worldwide drives the need to isolate contaminants that pose a threat to human and environmental health by using engineered barrier systems involving the use of low permeable materials. Over the past two decades, geosynthetic clay liners have gained widespread acceptance for use in such barrier systems. They are often used as a component of primary and secondary base liners or final cover systems in municipal solid-waste landfills as well as in regulated industrial storage and mining waste-disposal facilities.
This book gives a comprehensive and authoritative review of the current state of practice on geosynthetic clay liners in waste containments. It provides an insight into individual materials (bentonite and the associated geosynthetics) and the manufacturing processes. This is followed by the coverage of important topics such as hydraulic conductivity, chemical compatibility, contaminant transport, gas migration, shear strength and slope stability, and field performance.

If somebody has access to OhioLink Electronic Journal Center, I really need the following papers for my thesis:
1- Variable friction pendulum system for near-fault ground motions
2- Theory and experimental study for sliding isolators with variable curvature
3- Optimum friction pendulum system for near-fault motions
4- Modelling aspects of structures isolated with the frictional pendulum system
5- Analytical model of structures with frictional pendulum isolators
I would really appreciate if somebody can share them.
Due to an ever-decreasing supply in raw materials and stringent constraints on conventional energy sources, demand for lightweight, efficient and low cost structures has become crucially important in modern engineering design. This requires engineers to search for optimal and robust design options to address design problems that are often large in scale and highly nonlinear, making finding solutions challenging. In the past two decades, metaheuristic algorithms have shown promising power, efficiency and versatility in solving these difficult optimization problems.
This book examines the latest developments of metaheuristics and their applications in water, geotechnical and transport engineering offering practical case studies as examples to demonstrate real world applications. Topics cover a range of areas within engineering, including reviews of optimization algorithms, artificial intelligence, cuckoo search, genetic programming, neural networks, multivariate adaptive regression, swarm intelligence, genetic algorithms, ant colony optimization, evolutionary multiobjective optimization with diverse applications in engineering such as behavior of materials, geotechnical design, flood control, water distribution and signal networks. This book can serve as a supplementary text for design courses and computation in engineering as well as a reference for researchers and engineers in metaheursitics, optimization in civil engineering and computational intelligence.
Provides detailed descriptions of all major metaheuristic algorithms with a focus on practical implementation
Develops new hybrid and advanced methods suitable for civil engineering problems at all levels
Appropriate for researchers and advanced students to help to develop their work
