  • Minerals

    A Very Short Introduction

    by David Vaughan ...
    Series series Very Short Introductions
    Minerals existed long before any forms of life, playing a key role in the origin and evolution of life; an interaction with biological systems that we are only now beginning to understand. Exploring the traditional strand of mineralogy, which emphasises the important mineral families, the well-established analytical methods (optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction) and the dramatic developments ...

  • Earthquake Resistant Buildings

    Dynamic Analyses, Numerical Computations, Codified Methods, Case Studies and Examples

    by M.Y.H. Bangash ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    This concise work provides a general introduction to the design of buildings which must be resistant to the effect of earthquakes. A major part of this design involves the building structure which has a primary role in preventing serious damage or structural collapse. Much of the material presented in this book examines building structures. Due to the recent discovery of vertical components, it ... Read more

  • Correlations of Soil and Rock Properties in Geotechnical Engineering

    by Jay Ameratunga, Nagaratnam Sivakugan, Braja M. Das ...
    Series series Developments in Geotechnical Engineering
    This book presents a one-stop reference to the empirical correlations used extensively in geotechnical engineering. Empirical correlations play a key role in geotechnical engineering designs and analysis. Laboratory and in situ testing of soils can add significant cost to a civil engineering project. By using appropriate empirical correlations, it is possible to derive many design parameters, thus ... Read more

  • Engineering Geology and Geological Engineering for Sustainable Use of the Earth’s Resources, Urbanization and Infrastructure Protection from Geohazards

    Proceedings of the 1st GeoMEast International Congress and Exhibition, Egypt 2017 on Sustainable Civil Infrastructures

    Edited by Janusz Wasowski, Daniele Giordan, Piernicola Lollino ...
    Series series Springer Nature Proceedings excluding Computer Science
    The ongoing population growth is resulting in rapid urbanization, new infrastructure development and increasing demand for the Earth's natural resources (e.g., water, oil/gas, minerals). This, together with the current climate change and increasing impact of natural hazards, imply that the engineering geology profession is called upon to respond to new challenges. It is recognized that these ... Read more

  • Stone in Architecture

    Properties, Durability

    Edited by Siegfried Siegesmund, Rolf Snethlage ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    The weathering of historical buildings and, indeed, of monuments and sculptures of natural stone is a problem that has been encountered for hundreds of years. However a dramatic increase in deterioration in the structure of our built heritage has been observed during the past century. To understand the complex interaction that the stone in a building suffers with its near environment (the building ... Read more

  • Advances in Reinforced Soil Structures

    Proceedings of the 1st GeoMEast International Congress and Exhibition, Egypt 2017 on Sustainable Civil Infrastructures

    Edited by Sanjay Kumar Shukla, Erol Guler ...
    Series series Springer Nature Proceedings excluding Computer Science
    Soil reinforcement is a very useful technique to construct several cost-effective soil structures in an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner. The most commonly used reinforcement materials are galvanised steel strips, geosynthetics in the form of woven geotextiles, geogrids and geocomposites, and fibres from natural and waste products. In recent years, there have been advances in the ... Read more

  • Seismic Behaviour and Design of Irregular and Complex Civil Structures

    Edited by Oren Lavan, Mario De Stefano ...
    Series Book 24 - Geotechnical, Geological and Earthquake Engineering
    Structural irregularities are one of the most frequent causes of severe damages in buildings, as evidenced by the numerous earthquakes in recent years. This issue is of particular importance, since real structures are almost all irregular. Furthermore, structural irregularities depend on several factors often very difficult to predict. This book is an essential tool for understanding the problem ... Read more

  • Hygrothermal Risk on Building Heritage

    A Methodology for a Risk Map

    by João M.P.Q. Delgado, Ana Sofia Guimarães, Vasco Peixoto de Freitas ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    This book presents a critical review of a criterion of risk, created to assess the flood risk to heritage buildings, and evaluates this criterion by applying it to the sample Portuguese heritage buildings. In a first approach, the total number of potential parameters is effectively reduced and the selected criteria are divided into two different groups: the monument’s location in relation to a ...
