In considering strait crossings, papers in this text deal with bridges, tunnels, immersed tunnels, submerged floating tunnels, floating bridges, ferry crossings in general, and social and environmental aspects.

In considering hydro-elasticity in marine technology, this text covers risers of floating production platforms, cables, pipelines, flexible containers, seal bag system of surface effect ships, slamming on ships, whipping, and springing of ships.

A compilation of views of many international experts on the need for recycling.

This work looks at the development of constitutive relations for geotechnical materials that, with the help of numerical models, have increased the ability to predict and to interpret the mechanical behaviour of geotechnical works.

Highlights the multi-disciplinary nature of probabilistic risk and hazard assessment procedures. Topics covered include: hazard scenario analyses; probabilistic risk assessments; consequence modelling; structural reliability and more.

The papers reflect the multidisciplinary activity in a research area that has grown significantly. The focus of the proceedings is the scientific understanding of the nature and description of particle interactions and assembly geometry.

As mining operations increase in scale and mines go progressively deeper, the geotechnical input into mine design is of importance. This book covers topics in geotechnical instrumentation and monitoring, including coverage of groundwater.

These proceedings include the latest developments in research and practice in the area of mining-induced seismicity.

The third volume in this series, this deals with dams which generate electricity and maintain the natural resources and industrial facilities, including power-generating stations, storage tanks and piping of nuclear power stations.

In considering how computers are utilized in the mineral industry, this work includes coverage of mineral resource management, national database and national mineral exploration planning; project evaluation and monitoring applications.

This examination of the physical and mechanical properties of eluvial soils covers modern methods of evaluating the degree of weathering, deformation and strength characteristics in such soils.

This translation discusses historical geotectonics, including such topics as: the development of Phanerozoic mobile belts; the mature stage of Caledonian and the initial stage of Hercynian mobile belts; and the end of development of the Hercynian.

Translated from Russian, this work explains modern methods of determination of rheological properties of soils. The bearing of these properties on numerical and analytical methods in the field of foundation engineering is discussed.

Glacial deposits have a profound influence on groundwater protection, waste management and nature conservation. This text provides an analysis of glacial deposits in North-East Europe, covering countries such as Finland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.

This annual covers excavation reports and analytical studies on archaeology, palaeobotany and archaeozoology. Topics include: island migration of early modern Homo sapiens in Southeast Asia; and Roman Iron Age plant husbandry at Peelo, Holland.

This text outlines the problems commonly encountered during infrastructure constructions on soft and subsiding ground in lowland environments, and their solutions in terms of soil/ground improvement techniques.

A report on the technique of sand closures, the knowledge of which has been considerably broadened due to measurement and research, particularly during the two most recent sand closures of the Eastern Scheldt compartmenting dams (1986-1987).

An interdisciplinary study of the Tokyo Bay problem. This problem is not just a regional one, but one of national and even international importance.

Describes both physical and biological processes of pollution in aquatic environments. This text introduces theories and means of predicting the scale of environmental pollution and counter-measures.

Focusing on fundamental concepts, definitions various aspects of siting, this book contains a checklist to help readers conduct a proper siting process to assess the seismic hazards of a given site.

The planning of hydropower developments is still a great challenge covering a wide range of technical, economic and environmental issues. The present volume addresses these issues and highlights the ways in which hydropower can be developed.

A selection of papers on the effect of geomechanics on mine design. Coverage includes geodynamic phenomena associated with mining, longwall face technology, permanent mine workings and tunnels, ground subsidence, yield pillars and more.

A collection of papers on the prediction of unsteady flow and fluid transients in a wide variety of systems. Coverage ranges from theory to practical application of techniques, and the work describes failures as well as successes.

Comprises papers on topics in ocean circulation, wave structure interaction, water quality and biological model harbour resonance.

Proceedings of the International Symposium on Highway Capacity, Karlsruhe, Germany, July 1991. Papers range widely from driving behaviour and pedestrian to the numerical value of freeway capacity and transit capacity.
