This test method covers determination of the strength and stress-strain relationships of a cylindrical specimen of either undisturbed or remolded cohesive soil. Specimens are subjected to a confining fluid pressure in a triaxial chamber. No drainage of the specimen is permitted during the test. The specimen is sheared in compression without drainage at a constant rate of axial deformation (strain controlled).

The main objective of this manual is to provide a quick reference of wellsite field related geological issues to new geologist and trainees. It is also intended to share the knowledge and experiences that are common to Wellsite Geology with other disciplines in Area Exploration, Reservoir Characterizations, Reservoir Engineering and Drilling.The manual provides an overview of the stratigraphy of the Arabian Peninsula while focusing on the most common lithological description on formation and potential reservoir cuttings within Saudi Aramco’s operating areas. At the same time, it relates trends in the rate of penetration (ROP) to picking of formation tops. This data is essential to reduce probable hole problems and to ensure safe picking of casing points. The manual also provides an overview of pitfalls of cuttings description and hydrocarbon fluorescence evaluation while dealing with different types of drilling mud. The manual also covers and provides detail instructions on wellsite core handling procedures whilealerting new geologists to a number of important safety issues.

Written from a global perspective on risk, hazards, and disasters, Introduction to International Disaster Management provides practitioners, educators and students with a comprehensive overview of the players, processes and special issues involved in the management of large-scale natural and technological disasters. The book discusses special issues encountered in the management of international disasters, and explains the various private, non-governmental, national, and international agencies that assist in preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery during national and regional events.
Concentrating on the four major phases of emergency management - mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery - Introduction to International Disaster Management deals with such timely topics as Hurricane Katrina, the 2004 Asian tsunami, and SARS. It also serves as a reference to governmental and other agencies involved in international disaster management activities. This book is the first of its kind to take a global approach to the topic of international disaster management.

Ethics and Project Management >> By Ralph L. Kliem PMP (Author)
Author: Ralph L. Kliem, PMP, President, LeanPM, LLC, Redmond, Washington, USA | Size: ZIP 4.75 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Auerbach Publications | Year: October 14, 2011 | pages: 236 | ISBN: ISBN-10: 1439852618 ISBN-13: 978-1439852613
1.Description
Features
Provides matrices showing how ethical issues impact the initiating, planning, executing, monitoring, controlling, and closing of a project
Provides solutions for dealing with ethical situations and transgressions
Addresses key legal topics related to ethics in the project environment
Includes checklists to ensure ethical compliance at each stage of a project
Summary
Ethics plays a critical role in project management, but all too often, its importance is overlooked. This benign neglect can result in serious consequences to individuals and organizations, ranging from tarnished reputations to civil and criminal liability. Ethics and Project Management demonstrates the importance of making ethics a key consideration in managing projects and describes the impacts that occur when ethical transgressions arise.
Providing the tools necessary for project managers to avoid an ethical lapse that can put themselves and their organization at risk, this volume:
Defines ethics and places it within the project management context
Discusses the contents of the Project Management Institute’s code of ethics
Enables project managers to recognize the trends that precipitate ethical dilemmas on a project
Demonstrates how ethical concerns permeate the entire project life cycle
Provides tips on establishing a governance protocol to ensure ethical compliance
Explores legal issues that arise from unethical behavior
Examines how ethical concerns on a project can have global implications, and how to operate in international settings with cultural differences
Each chapter ends with a Getting Started Checklist, facilitating immediate application of the concepts discussed and making it easy for project managers to determine whether they are in compliance with ethical standards. Providing a solid roadmap for the ethical health of a project, this volume is essential reading for all those concerned with avoiding the disastrous consequences of a cavalier approach to ethics.
Praise for the book:
... a great desktop reference for any project manager. It is a must-have title to complete any project management library and I recommend it to both new and highly experienced project managers.

Editorial Reviews
After 33 years in the project management profession, I have seen ethics treated as sacred by most and valued much less by others. Ralph Kliem has taken the subject of ethics for project managers, dissected it with the accuracy of a skilled surgeon, and then explained it in exacting detail for the entire community to easily understand. In a world where we usually see ethics gone awry, he proves that taking the hard right over the easy wrong still is (and always will be) the best option. Since project management is a global profession, today's project manager is faced with integrating the rules, customs, cultures, and ethical values of different countries into their projects. Using the information in this book will sustain the foundation of ethical behavior and decision-making at all levels of the organization, regardless of project size and/or location. The use of graphics, check lists, examples, and other tools, turn this book into a working document and a great desktop reference for any project manager. It is a must-have title to complete any project management library and I recommend it to both new and highly experienced project managers.
