The third international workshop on applications of computational mechanics in geotechnical engineering discussed the area of computational mechanics applied to geotechnical problems. During the event, topics such as ground reinforcement and computational

Expounds the basics of the USSR-originating advanced method for construction of tunnels for various purposes with in-situ pressure moulded linings. Topics covered include practical tunnelling experience, specific requirements of concrete and more.

A practical manual covering all aspects of this field, this book, compiled by researchers from Fugro, Delft Geotechnics and several other Dutch contractors, covers everything from pre-design to the use of completed

A collection of workshop papers providing state-of-the-art reviews on all aspects of fragmentation, including photographic requirements, image enhancement, statistical treatment, and applications in quarrying, mining and minerals processing industries.

The workshop aims to provide a fundamental understanding of the liquefaction process, necessary to the enhancement of liquefaction prediction. The contributions are divided into eight sections, which include: factors affecting liquefaction susceptibility

The text broadly covers recent developments in ground control techniques, and their at operating mines, worldwide. Specific topics include: design and analysis of support and re-inforcement in metalliferous mines, mesh, shotcrete and

Vibroflotation is a method of ground improvement up to depths of 40 metres. It has been successfully used since 1936 but the major problem with this method is that in spite of

This text delivers a description of the method, developed to prevent liquefaction, in which soil used for reclamation is first treated by adding a small amount of cement.

Energy Management and Operating Costs in Buildings introduces the reader to the principles of managing and conserving energy consumpton in buildings people use for work or leisure.

This book summarizes advances in a number of fundamental areas of optimization with application in engineering design. The selection of the 'best' or 'optimum' design has long been a major concern of

Presents an anthology of the important publications made by GeoDelft on the subject of soft soil tunnelling in the Netherlands since 1992. Focusing on the period since 1992, this book is subdivided

Addresses the risks present in subterranean works from various perspectives, such as construction and safety, financing and control, and exploration and maintenance. This book is of interest to those involved in the

The Strip Method Design Handbook is a thorough guide to the use of the strip method, developed by Arne Hillerborg, for design of reinforced concrete slabs. The strip method of design is

In-depth, comprehensive and up-to-date information on the powerful finite strip method of analysis of bridges.

Dealing with a wide range of non-metallic materials, this book opens up possibilities of lighter, more durable structures. It contains contributions from leading international researchers and design engineers.

This report contains a series of papers on the analysis of structures through full scale and numerical modelling, including the crucial areas of hazard identification and risk assessment of structures.
