Author: D. Godone and S. Stanchi | Size: 36 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: InTeOpP | Year: 2011 | pages: 330 | ISBN: 9533077109 9789533077109
This book colntains a series of papers on erosion, not focusing on agronomic implications, but on a variety of other relevant aspects of the erosion phenomena. The book covers a wide range of erosion-related themes from a variety of points of view (assessment, modeling, mitigation, best practices etc.).
The book is divided into three sections:
1) various implications of land management in arid and semiarid ecosystems,
2) erosion modeling and experimental studies;
3) other applications (e.g. geoscience, engineering).

These Guide Specifications address the design and construction of typical pedestrian bridges which are designed for and intended to carry primarily pedestrians, bicyclists, equestrian riders, and light maintenance vehicles, but not designed and intended to carry typical highway traffic. Pedestrian bridges with cable supports or atypical structural systems are not specifically addressed.

Advances in Urban Flood Management (Balkema: Proceedings and Monographs in Engineering, Water and Earth Sciences)
Author: R. Ashley, S. Garvin, E. Pasche, A. Vassilopoulos, C. Zevenbergen | Size: 8.3 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Taylor & Francis | Year: 2007 | pages: 499 | ISBN: 0415436621, 978-0415436625
One of the effects of global climate change is the increasing variability of extreme flood events and cyclones. Current measures to mitigate flood impacts, particularly in the urban environment, are based on previously-planned flood risk intervals and no longer provide sufficient protection. Being prepared for unexpected changes and extreme flood events asks for a paradigm shift in current strategies to avoid and manage flood disasters. In order to stem the increasing impact of urban floods, a major rethink of current planning and flood management policies and practice is required, taking into account different spatial and temporal scales. This book addresses a broad spectrum of relevant issues in the emerging field of urban flood management. It may act as a stimulus for further research and development in urban flood management while informing and engaging stakeholders in the promotion of integrated and cooperative approaches in water management. An interdisciplinary approach which will be of interest to all those who are active in water, risk and urban management.
