The exploration and extraction of the earth's resources are key issues in global industrial development. In the 21st century, emphasis has increasingly being placed on geo-engineering safety, engineering accountability and sustainability. With focus on rock engineering projects, Structural Geology and Rock Engineering uses case studies and an integrated engineering approach to provide an understanding of projects constructed on or in rock masses. Based on Professors Cosgrove and Hudson's university teaching at Imperial College London, as well as relevant short course presentations, it explains the processes required for engineering modelling, design and construction.The first half of the book provides step-by-step presentations of the principles of structural geology and rock mechanics with special emphasis on the integration between the two subjects. The second half of the book turns principles into practice. A wealth of practical engineering examples are presented, including evaluations of bridge foundations, quarries, dams, opencast coal mining, underground rock engineering, historical monuments and stone buildings.This up-to-date, well-illustrated guide is ideal for teachers, researchers and engineers interested in the study and practice of rock-based projects in engineering.

Geology � Basics for Engineers presents the physical and chemical characteristics of the Earth, the nature and the properties of rocks and unconsolidated deposits/sediments, the action of water, how the earth is transformed by various phenomena at different scales of time and space. The book shows the engineer how to take geological conditions into account in his projects, and how to exploit a wide range of natural resources in an intelligent way, reduce geological hazards, and manage subsurface pollution.Through a problem-based-learning approach, this instructional text imparts knowledge and practical experience to engineering students (undergraduate and graduate level), as well as to experts in the fields of civil engineering, environmental engineering, earth sciences, architecture, land and urban planning. The DVD that supplements the book contains solutions to the problems and animations that show additional facets of the living Earth. The original French edition of the book (2007) won the prestigious Roberval Prize, an international contest organized by the University of Technology of Compiegne in collaboration with the General Council of Oise, France. Geology, Basics for Engineers, was selected out of a total of 110 candidates.The jury praised the book as a �very well conceived teaching textbook� and underscored its highly didactic nature, as well as the excellent quality of its illustrations.

Author(s)/Editor(s): Rory N. Mortimore | Size: 77 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Unspecified | Publisher: Whittles Publishing | Year: 2014 | pages: 352 | ISBN: 9781482246711

[Image: 76596146018685363860.gif]


[Image: info.png]

Chalk has proved to be one of the more difficult rocks to corelog as it breaks up readily during the drilling process leading to core-loss and destructuring, particularly where flints, nodular chalks, and/or fractures are present. One of the greatest difficulties is the identification of chalk engineering grade which relies heavily on fracture aperture. Obtaining the correct grade to define the depth of weathering and the depth at which fractures become closed is essential whether for tunnels in London or wind turbine piled foundations in the offshore chalks. Very few geologists and engineers have had the opportunity to study field sections in the chalk so there is little visual appreciation of the grades or the variation to expect or even what flint bands look like. To partly overcome this difficulty, both field and core sections are illustrated in this book.

Equally important to recognizing chalk grade is the building of conceptual ground models for construction projects. This can only be achieved if the various chalk formations, beds, and marker beds can be identified from cores and then boreholes correlated using the marker beds. The chalk stratigraphy is accordingly covered with key formations and marker beds illustrated, and the best field sections for viewing them identified.

This book is based on the standard lithostratigraphy and method of engineering description of chalk developed over many years. Also important are over 3,000 onshore and offshore chalk-cored boreholes undertaken by the author over more than 30 years. In addition, typical lithologies and weathering profiles representing the chalk formations likely to be encountered in the various onshore and offshore construction projects are illustrated using both field exposures, rotary core samples, and geophysical borehole wire-line logs.

This book reviews all the major research accomplishments and summarizes the different applications of radon. It serves as a solid reference book for researchers who are interested in the U-series radionuclides and noble gases as tracers and chronometers. Radon has been widely utilized as a powerful tracer to quantify a number of processes that include gas exchange rates between air and water, submarine groundwater discharge in coastal waters, water exchange between rivers and lakes, ocean circulation, hydrocarbon and uranium exploration. It is also used as an atmospheric tracer for the identification and quantification of air masses and as a tool for earthquake prediction, etc. A significant portion of the book presents state-of-the knowledge on indoor-radon-related health issues. Applications of the decay-series of Rn-222 are presented in a chapter. It serves as a reference and a state-of-the-art resource for researchers who want to learn the different applications of radon in Earth systems.

A range of engineers, geologists and hydrologists need to understand groundwater movement. This senior undergraduate and the graduate level text covers the topic from theory and principles through to practical engineering problems. It is written for engineering and science students but the large number of illustrations and worked examples should also suit professionals. A careful balance is maintained between mathematical rigour and the physical aspects of groundwater movement. The core mathematics generally acquired during the first two semesters of calculus at university level is assumed, and further skills needed for the analysis of groundwater movement are gradually developed throughout the text. It avoids unnecessary mathematical subtleties and over-simplifications of qualitative descriptions.

Fractured Rock Hydrogeology (IAH - Selected Papers on Hydrogeology)

Author: John M. Sharp | Size: 130 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Unspecified | Publisher: CRC Press | Year: 2014 | pages: 408 | ISBN: 1138001597

[Image: 71349589790096655663.jpg]


[Image: info.png]

Fractured rocks extend over much of the world, cropping out in shields, massifs, and the cores of major mountain ranges. They also form the basement below younger sedimentary rocks; at depth; they represent a continuous environment of extended and deep regional groundwater flow. Understanding of groundwater flow and solute transport in fractured rocks is vital for analysis of water resources, water quality and environmental protection, geotechnical and engineering projects, and geothermal energy production. Book chapters include theoretical and practical analyses using numerical modelling, geochemistry, isotopes, aquifer tests, laboratory tests, field mapping, geophysics, geological analyses, and some unique combinations of these types of investigation. Current water resource and geotechnical problems in many countries—and the techniques now used to address them—are also discussed. The importance of geological interpretation is re-emphasised in analysing the hydrogeology of fractured, mostly crystalline rocks and in how critical this is for understanding their hydrology and the wise utilisation of resources. This is indeed hydrogeology in its broadest sense. The importance of, but great difficulty in, extending or upscaling fractured rock hydraulic properties is also made clear.

This book is aimed at practicing hydrogeologists, engineers, ecologists, resource managers, and perhaps most importantly, students and earth scientists not yet familiar with the ubiquity and importance of fractured rock systems.

Advances in River Sediment Research

Author: Shoji Fukuoka, Hajime Nakagawa, Tetsuya Sumi, Hao Zhang | Size: 16.4 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Unspecified | Publisher: CRC | Year: 2013 | pages: 232 | ISBN: 1138000620

[Image: info.png]

Sediments, which constitute the surface of the Earth, start their journey to rivers with the energy obtained from rainfalls, fl oods and other natural processes. Due to transport of sediments, rivers develop with various appearances and functions, and play a crucial role in the activities of human beings and the life cycles of other species.

River sediment, as a conventional topic for river management, has been the topic of continuing research since ancient times, and since then significant progresses in river sediment research has been made. Nowadays, river sediment is much more connected to the activities of mankind and other species, following the increasing awareness of the co-existence of humans and nature.

Advances in River Sediment Research comprises the proceedings of the 12th International Symposium on River Sedimentation (ISRS2013, Kyoto, Japan, 2-5 September 2013). The book contains two keynote papers and 274 peer-reviewed regular contributions from all over the world, and covers recent accomplishments in theoretical developments, numerical simulations, laboratory experiments, field investigations and management methodologies of river sediment related issues. The book may serve as a reference book for graduate students, researchers, engineers and practitioners in disciplines of hydraulic, environmental, agricultural and geological engineering.

Principles of Tidal Sedimentology

Author: by Richard A. Davis, Jr., Robert W. Dalrymple | Size: 50 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Unspecified | Publisher: Sрringеr SсiBus | Year: 2012 | pages: 638 | ISBN: 9400701225 9789400701229 9789400701236


[Image: info.png]

This book presents a comprehensive, contemporary review of tidal environments and deposits, overview of tidal sedimentology. The approach is comprehensive with state-of-the-art reviews of the full spectrum of tidal depositional environments, from supratidal salt marshes, through the full range of coastal environments and continental shelves, to the deep sea.

Examples from modern environments and ancient deposits are provided, and both siliciclastic and carbonate environments are discussed.

The book is organized in the following four parts.
1) Chapters 1 – 4 provide overviews of the fundamentals of: the generation of tides, the nature of sediment transport by tidal currents, the criteria by which tidal deposits can be recognized, and the ichnology of tidal deposits.
2) Chapters 5 – 14 review the charac teristics of the full range of siliciclastic tidal environments, including both tide-dominated estuaries and deltas, as well as the various tidal components of barrier-lagoon systems. These chapters cover all aspects of the sedimentology of these environments, from the details of the physical processes operating in them, through the morphodynamics and facies, and the stratigraphic organization of the deposits.
3) Chapters 15 – 18 provide syntheses of particular times and places in earth history where tidal deposits are particularly notable.
4) Chapters 19 – 21 discuss tidal sedimentation in modern and ancient carbonate environments.

As society becomes more aware of the significance of the environment, such issues become increasingly important. The book exemplifies the vital role of environmental geology and geological processes in understanding the physical environment and the influence and fundamental importance of engineering geology in our modern world, particularly the infrastructure, whether it be foundations, routeways or reservoirs. The influence of geohazards, the significance of soil and water resources, and the impact of mining, waste disposal and pollution/contamination on the environment are all examined in this book. The various aspects of construction that are involved in the development of the infrastructure are also discussed - land evaluation and geological construction materials are therefore taken account of in this context. The book provides a wealth of practical examples and a comprehensive suggested reading list is provided for each chapter.

Engineering Geomorphology, Theory and Practice

Author: P.G. Fookes, E.M. Lee, J.S. Griffiths | Size: 25 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Unspecified | Publisher: Whittles Publishing | Year: 2007 | pages: 288 | ISBN: 1904445381, 9781904445388, 9781628700756, 9781420050899

[Image: 25018907817170029668.jpeg]


[Image: info.png]

This significant new book by foremost experts in the field will be the first that truly covers the topic of engineering geomorphology as a distinct discipline and, as such, will be of paramount importance to both practitioners and students. Engineering geomorphology is concerned with the evaluation of landform changes, especially the effects of construction on the environment, notably on the operation of surface processes and the risks from surface processes, whether current processes or the legacies of past processes. Engineering geomorphology provides practical support for engineering decision-making (project planning, investigation, design and construction) and engineering geomorphologists form an integrate part of the engineering or environmental team. Engineering geomorphology has developed in the last few decades to support a number of distinct areas of engineering, including river engineering, coastal engineering, and geotechnical engineering, where engineering geomorphology has complemented engineering geology and has proven to be valuable, especially for rapid site reconnaissance and slope stability studies. Geomorphology provides a spatial context for developing site models and explaining the distribution and characteristics of particular ground-related problems (e.g. landslides, permafrost or the presence of aggressive soils) and resources (e.g. sand and gravel). Engineering geomorphology can also be applied to agricultural engineering, primarily in the investigation and management of soil erosion problems. This book includes basic concepts that underpin efforts to explain the causes, mechanisms and consequences of landform change. It then considers how the land surface works in the context of wetland, flatland, hills, mountains, rivers and coasts; and the techniques that are available to the engineering geomorphologist in the field, in the laboratory, in the office and in the various forms of remote sensing. Each succinct chapter is packed with vital information, well-illustrated with diagrams and tables and fully referenced so that the detail of subject matter can be followed up.
