Download or read book Debris-flow Hazards and Related Phenomena written by Matthias Jakob and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-12-26 with total page 795 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With climate change and deforestation, debris flows and debris avalanches have become the most significant landslide hazards in many countries. In recent years there have been numerous debris flow avalanches in Southern Europe, South America and the Indian Subcontinent, resulting in major catastrophes and large loss of life. This is therefore a major high-profile problem for the world's governments and for the engineers and scientists concerned. Matthias Jakob and Oldrich Hungr are ideally suited to edit this book. Matthias Jakob has worked on debris flow for over a decade and has had numerous papers published on the topic, as well as working as a consultant on debris flow for municipal and provincial governments. Oldrich Hungr has worked on site investigations on debris flow, avalanches and rockfall, with emphasis on slope stability analysis and evaluation of risks to roads in built-up areas. He has also developed mathematical models for landslide dynamic analysis. They have invited world-renowned experts to joint them in this book.

Download or read book Geotechnical Engineering written by Jean-Louis Briaud and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-08-22 with total page 1060 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING While there are many textbooks on the market that cover geotechnical engineering basics, Geotechnical Engineering is unique in that it is the only textbook available that is rooted within the three phase unsaturated soil mechanics framework. Written by world-renowned, award-winning geotechnical engineering expert Dr. Jean-Louis Briaud, this Second Edition offers the most comprehensive coverage of geotechnical engineering topics on the market, from theory to real-world application. In addition to many updates and revisions, a major chapter has been added, covering 22 geo-engineering case histories. They are: Washington Monument (shallow mat foundation) Rissa Landslide (slope stability) Seattle 46 M-High MSE Wall (retaining wall) The New Orleans Charity Hospital Foundation (deep foundation) The Eurotunnel Linking France and England (tunnel) The Teton Dam (earth dam erosion) The Woodrow Wilson Bridge (bridge scour) San Jacinto Monument (shallow mat foundation) Pointe du Hoc Cliffs (rock erosion) The Tower of PISA (shallow foundation) The Transcona Silo (shallow foundation) The Saint John River Bridge Abutment (slope stability) Foundation of Briaud’s House (shrink swell soils) The Eiffel Tower (deep foundation) St. Isaac Cathedral (mat foundation) National Geotechnical Experimentation Sites at Texas A&M University (full scale infrastructure tests) The 827 M-High Burj Khalifa Tower Foundation (combined pile raft foundation) New Orleans Levees and Katrina Hurricane (overtopping erosion) Three Gorges Dam (concrete dam) The Kansai International Airport (earth fill in the sea) The Panama Canal (excavated slopes) The Nice Airport Slope Failure (slope stability) From site investigation and geophysics to earthquake engineering and deep foundations, Geotechnical Engineering is an ideal resource for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses, as well as practicing professionals in geotechnical engineering and soil mechanics.

Download or read book Continental Margin Sedimentation written by Charles A. Nittrouer and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-03-12 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume on continental margin sedimentation brings together an expert editorial and contributor team to create a state-of-the-art resource. Taking a global perspective, the book spans a range of timescales and content, ranging from how oceans transport particles, to how thick rock sequences are formed on continental margins. Summarizes and integrates our understanding of sedimentary processes and strata associated with fluvial dispersal systems on continental shelves and slopes Explores timescales ranging from particle transport at one extreme, to deep burial at the other Insights are presented for margins in general, and with focus on a tectonically active margin (northern California) and a passive margin (New Jersey), enabling detailed examination of the intricate relationships between a wide suite of sedimentary processes and their preserved stratigraphy Includes observational studies which document the processes and strata found on particular margins, in addition to numerical models and laboratory experimentation, which provide a quantitative basis for extrapolation in time and space of insights about continental-margin sedimentation Provides a research resource for scientists studying modern and ancient margins, and an educational text for advanced students in sedimentology and stratigraphy

Download or read book Tsunami written by Edward Bryant and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-06-11 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a comprehensive and well illustrated textbook on all aspects of tsunami. I don't think there is any other book on the topic published. As one bookseller said after the Indian Ocean tsunami event, "I would have just filled my front window with copies and they would have walked out the store." This statement was just as relevant after the Japanese tsunami of 2011 and will be as relevant when the next large tsunami event happens, sooner rather than later. The book can be used by a student or layperson to gain encyclopedic knowledge about tsunami.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes the principal findings of a four year study for Caltrans of the seismic response of older multi-level, multi-column reinforced concrete bridge structures. Methods have been devised to improve prediction of the global response of these structures, to analyze and assess their local behavior, and to retrofit them to achieve adequate seismic behavior. The behavior of these structures has been found to be complex and influenced by a wide variety of parameters. Moreover, existing analysis methods often provide non-conservative estimates of behavior. The investigations conducted provide greater insight into the response characteristics of existing multiple column bridge structures. These have permitted development of improved analytical models and tools, retrofit strategies and design concepts.
