1. Landfill Engineering

   Edited by Geoffrey B. Card

   Environmental pressures have forced a major rethink on the management and use of landfill. The engineering questions are considerable, and have not been discussed much in the literature to date. This new work provides an up to date Handbook on the engineering of landfill materials from design and...

2. A Handbook of Tropical Residual Soil Engineering

   Edited by B.B.K. Huat, David Toll

   Residual soils are found in many parts of the world. In tropical areas, residual soil layers are often extensive and may continue downwards for hundreds of meters before unweathered rock is reached. Since most foundations, excavations and embankments will therefore be built on or in such soil, and...

   Offshore Geotechnical Engineering

   By Mark Randolph, Susan Gourvenec

   Design practice in offshore geotechnical engineering has grown out of onshore practice, but the two application areas have tended to diverge over the last 30 years, driven partly by the scale of the foundation and anchoring elements used offshore, and partly by fundamental differences in...

4. Geomechanics and Geotechnics: From Micro to Macro

   Edited by Mingjing Jiang, Fang Liu, Malcolm Bolton

   Soils are composed of grains but they are generally treated as continua in the classical framework of geomechanics. Their macroscopic response under loading, such as their non-linearity, yielding and anisotropy, is controlled by their micro-structure, the characteristics of the grains and the...

   Unsaturated Soils

   Edited by Eduardo Alonso, Antonio Gens

   In recent decades the development of unsaturated soil mechanics has been remarkable, resulting in momentous advances in fundamental knowledge, testing techniques, computational procedures, prediction methodologies and geotechnical practice. The advances have spanned the full spectrum of theory and...

   Ground Improvement by Deep Vibratory Methods

   By Klaus Kirsch, Fabian Kirsch

   Vibro compaction and vibro stone columns are the two dynamic methods of soil improvement most commonly used worldwide. These methods have been developed over seventy years and are now in a position of unrivalled importance amongst modern foundation measures. The first works on granular soil by...

   Soil Physics with HYDRUS: Modeling and Applications

   By David E. Radcliffe, Jiri Simunek

   Numerical models have become much more efficient, making their application to problems increasingly widespread. User-friendly interfaces make the setup of a model much easier and more intuitive while increased computer speed can solve difficult problems in a matter of minutes. Co-authored by the...

    Cut-and-Cover Metro Structures: Geo-Structural Design: An Integrated Approach

    By Krishan Kaul

    Because of their complexity and scale, metro structures capture all the essential aspects of a cut-and-cover structure, and so are given primary focus in this book. The design of a metro construction is outlined coherently and in detail; and the reader is shown how to apply this design process...
