Описание: This book aims to provide a powerful tool for both under- and post-graduate students as well as for structural designers, one that will enrich their knowledge and help them achieve a sound conception of and insight into seismic design of concrete buildings.
Описание: Seismology is the study of seismic waves, which may also be called shock waves. It is the scientific study of earthquakes and the propagation of elastic waves through the Earth or through other planet-like bodies. The field also includes studies of earthquake environmental effects, such as tsunamis as well as diverse seismic sources such as volcanic, tectonic, oceanic, atmospheric, and artificial processes. A seismic wave is energy that moves through the Earth as a result of an earthquake. Some seismic waves can be felt by the people on Earths surface and some cannot. Those that can be felt often cause damage and sometimes death. Seismologists use special instruments in their work called seismographs. These machines record seismic waves. They are usually capable of detecting and amplifying the slightest movements of the ground. Studying seismology generally involves two types of shock waves. There are push waves, which result when an inner Earth structure moves forward. Then, there are torsion waves, which result when particles are twisted between sliding inner structures. Accessing characteristics such as the time and speed of these waves can allow seismologists to gain valuable information such as the distance or severity of an earthquake. Seismology is also credited for giving people an accurate base of knowledge about the inner layers of the Earth. The mitigation of earthquake-related hazards represents a key role in the modern society. The mitigation of such kind of hazards spans from detailed studies on seismicity, evaluation of site effects, and seismo-induced landslides, tsunamis as well as and the design and analysis of structures to resist such actions. The study of earthquakes ties together science, technology and expertise in infrastructure and engineering in an effort to minimise human and material losses when they inevitably occur. This book deals with different topics aiming to mitigate geo-hazards such as: Seismic hazard analysis, Seismic design, assessment and remediation, Earthquake physics and soil-structure interaction analysis.

Описание: "This book is fast becoming the standard text in its field," wrote a reviewer in the Journal of Canadian Petroleum Technology soon after the first appearance of Dake's book. This prediction quickly came true: it has become the standard text and has been reprinted many times. The author's aim - to provide students and teachers with a coherent account of the basic physics of reservoir engineering - has been most successfully achieved. No prior knowledge of reservoir engineering is necessary. The material is dealt with in a concise, unified and applied manner, and only the simplest and most straightforward mathematical techniques are used. This low-priced paperback edition will continue to be an invaluable teaching aid for years to come.
Описание: This volume presents the first outcomes of the SERIES project, which pooled European seismic testing facilities, Europe`s best experts in experimental earthquake engineering and experts from the USA to present research achievements and point to the future.

Описание: Karst terrains have been modified and adapted through a range of human activities as the need for flood control, irrigation, food production, hydropower production and other resourceshasincreased. Successful reclamation projects require construction of dams and reservoirs. Karst terrains present the most complex working conditions for dam foundation and realization of safe reservoir space. Practical engineering solutions are extremely complex and the need for successful solution requires serious investigations and the cooperation of a wide spectrum of scientists and engineers. A wealth of data on dam projects in karst has been collected and presented in this book. Since reservoirs in karst may fail to fill despite extensive investigations and remediation treatment the book includes a description of failures as well.
