Author: Mark Randolph and Susan Gourvenec | Size: 30.359 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Scanner | Year: April 20, 2011 | pages: 528 | ISBN: 9780415477444
Design practice in offshore geotechnical engineering has grown out of onshore practice, but the two application areas have tended to diverge over the last thirty years, driven partly by the scale of the foundation and anchoring elements used offshore, and partly by fundamental differences in construction and installation techniques. As a consequence offshore geotechnical engineering has grown as a speciality.
The structure of Offshore Geotechnical Engineering follows a pattern that mimics the flow of a typical offshore project. In the early chapters it provides a brief overview of the marine environment, offshore site investigation techniques and interpretation of soil behaviour. It proceeds to cover geotechnical design of piled foundations, shallow foundations and anchoring systems. Three topics are then covered which require a more multi-disciplinary approach: the design of mobile drilling rigs, pipelines and geohazards.

Geological Sciences (Geology: Landforms, Minerals, and Rocks)
Author: John P. | Size: 11.2 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: R.sen Education Service | Year: 2011 | pages: 206 | ISBN: 1615304959
Described as craggy, rocky, or glacial, among a host of other descriptors, the Earth's geosphere-that is, its solid foundation-is subject to incredible variation. It is these permutations that inform the study of the geological sciences. This field involves not only the study of rocks, minerals, and landforms, but also that of glaciers, fossils, volcanoes, and other aspects of the Earth's surface. This sweeping volume examines the various branches of the geological sciences, as well as the methods and instruments used by geologists to obtain accurate records of the planet's geological history. Profiles of seminal earth scientists are also included.

Despite mining's multidimensional role in the history of Utah since Euro-american settlement, there has never been a book that surveyed and contextualized its impact. From the Ground Up fill that gap with a collection of essays by leading Utah historians and geologists. Essays here address the geology of the state, the economic history of mining in Utah, and the lore of mines and miners. Additionally, the book reviews a handul of particularly significant mineral industries---saline, coal, uranium, and beryllium---and surveys important hard-rock mining regions of the state.

This book provides a systematic, modern introduction to solid mechanics that is carefully motivated by realistic Engineering applications. Based on 25 years of teaching experience, Raymond Parnes uses a wealth of examples and a rich set of problems to build the reader's understanding of the scientific principles, without requiring 'higher mathematics'.
Highlights of the book include
* The use of modern SI units throughout
* A thorough presentation of the subject stressing basic unifying concepts
* Comprehensive coverage, including topics such as the behaviour of materials on a phenomenological level.
* Over 600 problems, many of which are designed for solving with MATLAB, MAPLE or MATHEMATICA.
Solid Mechanics in Engineering is designed for 2-semester courses in Solid Mechanics or Strength of Materials taken by students in Mechanical, Civil or Aeronautical Engineering and Materials Science and may also be used for a first-year graduate program.

All,
I'm looking for the folllowing handbook :
HB 28-1997 : The design of residential slabs and footings
Note this Handbook provides information and photographs to reliably identify the characteristics of a house or building site to enable a footing system to be designed. This Handbook is a self contained explanatory text though many references are made to AS 2870-1996, Residential slabs and footings Construction. The Handbook takes into account footings system alternatives, house loading; displacement sensitivity, design philosophy, soil structure interaction and house building practice.
If you have the above handbook please share it with us.
Seismic retrofitting of structures: Strategies and collection of examples in Switzerland
Author: N.A. | Size: 4.9 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Federal Office for the Environment FOEN | Year: 2008 | pages: 84 | ISBN: N.A.
This publication provides a detailed insight in the problematic of the seismic retrofitting of existing structures. The presentation of 24 examples of seismic retrofitting projects in Switzerland illustrates the different possible strategies and gives suggestions and decision criteria on how to handle the complex problem of the seismic safety of existing structures. The publication is primarily aimed at structural engineers, but architects, building owners and homeowners will also find valuable information on the management of earthquake risk for existing structures.
