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

This book examines the latest developments of metaheuristics and their applications in structural engineering, construction engineering and earthquake engineering, offering practical case studies as examples to demonstrate real-world applications. Topics cover a range of areas within engineering, including big bang-big crunch approach, genetic algorithms, genetic programming, harmony search, swarm intelligence and some other metaheuristic methods. Case studies include structural identification, vibration analysis and control, topology optimization, transport infrastructure design, design of reinforced concrete, performance-based design of structures and smart pavement management. With its wide range of everyday problems and solutions, Metaheursitic Applications in Structures and Infrastructures can serve as a supplementary text for design courses and computation in engineering as well as a reference for researchers and engineers in metaheuristics, optimization in civil engineering and computational intelligence.
• Review of the latest development of metaheuristics in engineering.
• Detailed algorithm descriptions with focus on practical implementation.
• Uses practical case studies as examples and applications.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1843 edition. Excerpt: .or their hold, to prevent the generation of such action. Indeed it does not appear but that a system of vertical timber bracing between the sills and curbs of the roadway and the main chains, commencing by an abuttal on the podium of the piers or suspension towers, may be introduced in connexion with transverse bracing from main chain to main chain in the deep parts, or where the head-way would not be affected by it, with economy and advantage. Such a system as that here suggested would adapt itself readily and without derangement to the expansion and contraction of the chains and rods, and tend materially to stiffen the road-way, whilst it would check any approach to the undulations, which, without a system of vertical bracing, are found to follow the vibration of the road-way in tempests. Vertical bracing under the road-way occupies head-way below, or renders it necessary to raise the bridge so much higher to preserve it, without assisting in any degree to steady the chains and give them the aid of the road-way in resisting impulses to motion.

Pelikan Software priPrinter Professional v5.6.0.2060 ML
Size: 10.0 MB
priPrinter is a printer driver that allows you to manipulate printer output before it is printed. priPrinter is installed and selected in the same way as other printer drivers. After printing it automatically displays print preview where you can preview your printings, change layout, reposition pages, crop them and many more. After that you print it to the real printer or save your document for later using. With priPrinter you always will be sure how your printings will look. You may measure items on the paper, define margins and pages layout. There is no need to print again and again trying to achieve desired placement.
Features:
• Provides every feature you need to make your print easy and simple.
• Preview your printing in many ways. Explore content of your jobs.
• Print to images. You may save your prints to various image formats.
• Booklet and posters.
• Duplex printing.
• Measurements.
• Print themes
• Loupe tool.
• Margins and gutters. Change margins and gutters with mouse click and drag.
• Crop and Cut. Remove blank space and redundant information.
• Undo/Redo
• Small and fast.
• Save jobs to file.
• Tray control
change log v5.6.0.2060 (13 June 2013 )
• Now priPrinter is able to restore images divided into bands by print application. It should help to avoid white lines in print preview and output images. Related to Adobe Lightroom and other applications.
• Added an ability to revert changes made in print preview pane: printer, duplex mode, ink saving settings. This option is in pane properties dialog.
• priPrinter Server in offline mode is able to display some job information: for instance computer and user name.
• Print in bitmap mode is very much optimized. As result spooler queue/files must be smaller. Important for huge documents printing. Related to ink saving mode, contrast/brightness controls.
• Text in main print button and in few items in print preview pane should be displayed with correct font now - related to Arabic, Persian, Korean and Japan localizations.
• New script functions are added (PRO).
• Improved installer for priPrinter Server. Now it is possible to skip driver installation if compatible driver is installed already (SERVER).
• Minor improvement in patterns rendering.
