The first edition of this book was published by Prentice Hall in 1999. It has been widely recognized as one of the finest books in the field of unsaturated zone hydrology for upper division and graduate level courses, as well as ‘the’ reference book for professionals. The book was so popular it sold out of print within five years.
Due to the 1st edition’s popularity and persistent demand worldwide and, to the nature of the Internet and the poor state of developing nations who lack resources, the authors, with support from the publisher Prentice Hall and U.S. Geological Survey, have decided to make the first edition available at no charge via PDF file format below.
The second edition will be published in 2009 in which there will be significant changes. Several changes to the 2nd edition include the addition of three new modeling chapters, the addition and availability of popular models made available with the 2nd edition, including a macropore model, a revised instructor’s solutions manual, and other significant changes. However, despite these changes and release of the 2nd edition it is the author’s intent to keep the first edition freely available.

THE PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF HARDENED CONVENTIONAL CONCRETE IN DAMS
Size: 14.13 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: I C O L D COMMITTEE ON CONCRETE DAMS | Year: 2008 | pages: 262
The purpose of this Bulletin is to provide a unique, comprehensive and update treatise on the physical properties of hardened conventional concrete for dams, refreshing the partial information contained in some out-of-date ICOLD Bulletins, giving an account of new approaches and examining also some important properties not included in the previous Bulletins.
In particular this new document serves to supersede the following out-of-date ICOLD Bulletins: n° 15 (Frost resistance of concrete - 1960), n° 25 (Extensibility of concrete for large dams - 1976) and n° 26 (Methods of determining effects on shrinkage, creep and temperature on concrete for large dams - 1976).
The main body of this Bulletin addresses the physical fundamental properties of the mass concrete material used most frequently in design and analyses of concrete dams and appurtenant structures. These include strength, elastic properties, creep, drying shrinkage and thermal properties, water permeability, and durability. It is understood that mass concrete material represents the intact concrete inside the mass of the dam and not the more general mass concrete dam that include also structural components and imperfections . In fact, mass concrete material can be thought of as “defect-free” whereas mass concrete structures, such as dams, often have manmade structural components and imperfections as for example construction and contraction joints, interfaces with other materials (e.g. waterstops, injected sealing materials), drains or have cavities like cracks or honey combs.
Chapters 2 through 8 focus on issues of the “mass concrete material”. Some information on the physical properties of “manmade discontinuities” and cracked concrete is presented in the Appendices A, B and C. Furthermore the Appendices address newer and more advanced concepts including the application of fracture mechanics to concrete dams, the properties of construction joints and some physical properties of expanding concrete, in particular concrete in dams subjected to alkali-aggregate reactions.
This Bulletin does not specifically address the properties of Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) dams which are partially dealt in the Bulletin n° 75 – Roller Compacted Concrete for Gravity Dams and in the recent Bulletin n° 126 (Roller-Compacted Concrete Dams – State of the art and case histories).
The properties of fresh concrete are not considered. Chemical reactions and cracking resistance are also intentionally excluded since they are already extensively treated in other recent ICOLD Bulletins (n° 71 - Exposure of dam concrete to special aggressive waters; n° 79 - Alkali-Aggregate Reaction in concrete dams; n° 93 - Ageing of dams and appurtenant works; Bulletin n° 107 - Control and treatment of cracks in concrete dams). The concrete erosion resistance is extensively dealt with in the ACI Report 210 R-93 “Erosion of concrete in hydraulic structures”.

Technical Guide to Managing Ground Water Resources
Author: Steve Glasser | Size: 7.9 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: US Forest Service | Year: May 2007 | pages: 295
This technical guide provides guidance for implementing the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service national ground water policy. It describes hydrological, geological, and ecological concepts, as well as the managerial responsibilities that must be considered to ensure the wise and sustainable
use of ground water resources on NFS lands.
This document is one part of a four-part information system on ground water management on the national forests and grasslands. The other three parts are (1) Forest Service policy on ground water (Forest Service Manuals [FSM] 2543 and 2880); (2) a Forest Service sourcebook on State ground water laws, regulations, and case law for all 43 States with NFS land; and (3) a ground water inventory and monitoring technical guide. When complete, the four parts will provide line officers and technical specialists at all field levels with the science, policy, and legal framework for Forest Service ground water-resource management. Users of this document are strongly encouraged to refer to all of these documents when dealing with a ground water-resource issue.
This technical guide is intended for Forest Service line officers and managers and their technical-support staffs. Managers will be interested in Parts 1 and 2, in which information is resented on management considerations and on the importance of ground water issues. Part 3 and the appendixes provide more
detailed information on basic hydrogeological principles and ground water investigation methods that may be most appropriate for technical support staffs.

This manual provides criteria and guidance for the design of structures to resist the effects of earthquakes. It takes a general approach for the seismic design of buildings, including architectural components, mechanical and electrical equipment supports, some structures other than buildings, and utility systems. Primary emphasis is given to the equivalent static force design procedure.
