Taking a personal tone and devised with a focus on practical aspects, Geotechnical Problem Solving bridges the gap between geotechnical and soil mechanics material covered in university Civil Engineering courses and the advanced topics required for practicing Civil, Structural and Geotechnical engineers. By giving newly qualified engineers the information needed to apply their extensive theoretical knowledge, and informing more established practitioners of the latest developments, this book helps readers confidently approach problems having thought through the various options available. Where various competing solutions are proposed, the author systematically guides readers through each option, weighing the benefits and drawbacks of each, to ensure they can approach and solve real-world problems in a similar manner.
Links theoretical and practical work to provide a reference and guide to geotechnical topics
Takes readers through various scenarios helping them to understand how to solve problems efficiently
Provides a perspective on complexity in geotechnical practice
Gives readers the tools they need to understand the principles and history behind the material so that they can handle real-world problems
Covers a broad range of geotechnical topics, including soils, foundations and retaining structures, and provides an introduction to the background and application of geotechnical LRFD
Reading recommendations are given including special articles and references for further study of advanced material
Uses a ‘problem’ and ‘answer’ mentoring approach from the author to the reader to answer many of the reader’s questions
The scope of material covered includes a range of geotechnical topics, such as soil classification, soil stresses and strength and soil self-weight settlement. Shallow and deep foundations are analyzed, including special articles on laterally loaded piles, retaining structures including MSE and Tieback walls, slope and trench stability for natural, cut and fill slopes, geotechnical uncertainty, and geotechnical LRFD (Load and Resistance Factor Design).

# Full title: Cracking and Building Movement
# Author(s): Peter Dickinson , Nigel Thornton
# Publisher: RICS Books (September 30, 2004)
# Language: English
# ISBN-10: 184219156X
# ISBN-13: 978-1842191569
Autogenous deformation of concrete is the free deformation of sealed concrete at a constant temperature. A number of observed problems with early-age cracking of high-performance concrete can be attributed to this phenomenon.
During the last 10 years, this has led to an increased focus on autogenous deformation within both concrete practice and concrete research. Since 1996, there has been enough interest to hold yearly international conferences devoted to this subject.
The papers in this publication were presented at two consecutive half-day sessions at the American Concrete Institute's Fall Convention in Phoenix, Arizona, October 2002. All papers were reviewed according to ACI procedures. This publication and the sessions were sponsored by ACI Committee 236, Material Science of Concrete.
The 12 presentations from eight different countries indicate the broad, global research efforts dealing with autogenous deformation, and the well-attended - of up to 90 people - show that this interest is shared by the general concrete community. Attendees left with an understanding of the complexity of the autogenous deformation of concrete. The sessions showed that cooperation and more research are needed.
At the ACI 2002 Fall Convention, the international materials research organization, RILEM, took steps to promote further research and cooperation within this area. Two technical committees held initial meetings with the involvement of many ACI members. More collaborative research will be carried out.
Copenhagen, Denmark, and Santa Cruz, Bolivia, October 2003.

From the Back Cover
Completely revised and updated, Conservation of Water and Related Land Resources, Third Edition continues to provide an integrated and balanced examination of all the major aspects of water and related resources management. It reviews events that have helped shape our current management situations, thereby pointing the way to future action and enabling lay citizens, practicing professionals, and policy-makers to play an effective role in the government mandated decisions about population, urban sprawl, increased water demands, and climate change.
See what's new in the New Edition:
The book presents a unique and complete set of pertinent water law cases, compacts, and statutes. Extremely well referenced it includes:
Substantial revisions reflecting changes in water pollution control policy, water law, and federal agencies
Information on the new and significant role of the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the environmental mission and activities of the Corps of Engineers
A timeline to be filled in and review questions at the end of each chapter
Complex water management problems as they relate to the current issues of partnerships, sustainability, and adaptive management
An update on the situation regarding water rights for Native Americans
The theme of conservation throughout the text - historically, legally, organizationally, fiscally, and philosophically
An expanded section on local water management organizations and a new chapter with examples of water resources management including different scales and purposes for management policy
There are many books available on water resources. None of them focus on those aspects of the law that are important to public participation in water and related land resource decisions, especially those concerned with nonpoint sources of pollution like Conservation of Water and Related Land Resources, Third Edition.

Tolerance to Environmental Contaminants (Environmental and Ecological Risk Assessment)
Author: Claude Amiard-Triquet, Philip S. Rainbow and Michele Romeo | Size: 7.8 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: CRC Press | Year: 2011 | pages: 464 | ISBN: 1439817707 & 9781439817704

Review
The species examined are very diverse ... Consequently, virtually every branch of the natural sciences is represented, making the potential readership considerable. Of very relevant interest is emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and insecticidal-resistance to DDT. Is resistance a function of DNA changes, changes in individual proteins, other structural changes, or a combination? These are the answers sought. ... it is a very valuable addition to the literature. It defines the multidisciplinary approaches necessary to educate advanced students of toxicology and environmental science by describing the complexities involved, and how to utilise logic to prevent the accidental (and sometimes deliberate) poisoning of the general environment.
—K. Jones, in Chromatographia, 74:851
Product Description
Tolerance, the ability of populations to cope with the chemical stress resulting from toxic contaminants, has been described in many organisms from bacteria to fungi, from phytoplankton to terrestrial flowering plants, and from invertebrates such as worms to vertebrates like fish and amphibians. The building of tolerance, be it by physiological acclimation or genetic adaptation, can have great consequences for the local biodiversity, and hence the ecology and ecosystem functioning of many of the world’s habitats. Understanding the frequency of the occurrence of tolerance has tremendous implications for the sustainability of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning.
Tolerance to Environmental Contaminants takes a multidisciplinary approach across contaminant types, habitats, organisms, biological levels of organization and scientific disciplines. The book examines the general principles governing the acquisition and biological consequences of tolerance, genetically or physiologically based, at different levels of biological organization, taxonomically from bacteria and archaea to flowering plants and vertebrates, and within organisms from molecular biology and biochemistry through physiology to whole organism, community, and ecosystem levels of organization.
Presenting a state-of-the-art synthesis of the many aspects of the phenomenon of tolerance to environmental contaminants, this volume covers mechanisms of defense involved in the acquisition of tolerance, different classes of environmental contaminants, positive and negative ecological consequences of tolerance and the impact of tolerance in bacteria, plants, and insects on society. The reviews presented in this book supply the tools for carrying out more informed and therefore more reliable risk-benefit analyses when assessing the ecotoxicological risks to life in any of the contaminated habitats that now surround us in our industrialized society.
