Soil Mechanics

Completely updated and expanded to reflect developments in the field, the second edition of this valuable reference reviews all of the fracture modes and design methodologies needed for control and prevention of structural failures in mechanical components. It begins with the historical development ..

Problem Solving in Soil Mechanics covers the full undergraduate courses in soil mechanics. A self-teaching and problem-solving approach is adopted with an emphasis on engineering applications. There are 116 worked examples with clear and readable explanations related to the standard and modern soil ..

Authored by one of Russia’s most respected aerospace researchers, this book is devoted to real gas flows with regard to physical and gasdynamic effects accompanying high-velocity flight in the air or in other atmospheres. In particular, it discusses the re-entry of bodies into the atmosphere of the ..

Featuring contributions from industry leaders in their respective fields, this volume presents comprehensive, authoritative coverage of all the major issues involved in road vehicle dynamic behavior. It begins with a short history of road and off-road vehicle dynamics followed by thorough, detailed ..

This book brings together outstanding work in earthquake engineering that embraces a holistic consideration of soil foundation-structure systems, and will be helpful in developing more understanding of the complex nature of responses these systems present under strong earthquakes...

This book has the purpose of developing an understanding of the factors determining and influencing the shear behavior of soils, with emphasis on composite soils, as they are the most encountered materials in geological and geotechnical engineering in mountainous areas. This objective is reached by ..

The book presents a compilation of research on meso/microforming processes, and offers systematic and holistic knowledge for the physical realization of such developed processes. It discusses practical applications in fabrication of meso/microscale metallic sheet-metal parts via sheet-metal meso/Mic..

A number of methods currently exist for the analysis and design of slopes. This book provides a critical review of these and offers more approaches for overcoming numerical non-convergence and the location of critical failure surfaces in two-dimensional and three-dimensional cases. It also addresses..

This text presents simple working methods for systematic analysis and parametric assessment of soft clays at engineering level. The development at different rest periods discussed in this book match advancements already made in plant and machinery along with associated field techniques...

In the last forty years, at least fifty books have been written on the subject of soil mechanics, most of them textbooks. Only a few touch on practical applications. Soil Engineering: Testing, Design, and Remediation supplies the information needed to fill the gap between textbook learning and pract..

Soil liquefaction occurs when soil loses much of its strength or stiffness. It can occur during earthquakes, landslides, or even traffic-induced vibration. The first edition of this book made its mark, and this significantly expanded new edition is updated on a range of issues. It now includes "nume..
