This work discusses the durability and lifetime aspects of clay geosynthetic barriers related to the synthetic yarns and fibres.

The extremes of constitutive and centrifuge modelling are explored here, with a range of lectures addressing specific areas of these two types of modelling.

The papers in this volume reflect the research and advances made in the application of numerical methods in geotechnical engineering. Topics include: instabilities in soil behaviour; and environmental geomechanics.

The proceedings in this work present 60 papers on mine and mill tailings and mine waste, as well as current and future issues facing the mining and environmental communities.

Based on a vast array of research into the Jordan Rift Valley from the last one hundred and fifty years, this work discusses the tectonic evolution of the area, and includes a variety of important datings and paleoenvironmental reconstructions.

These papers derive from a workshop on "Quaternary Sedimentary Records in Central Africa and their Palaeoenvironmental Interpretation", held at the 15th INQUA Congress.

An exploration of the relationship between river behaviour and environmental change. The research involves a wide range of disciplines including geomorphology, geophysics, archaeology, palaeoecology, engineering and planning.

A summmary of work carried out in the field of experimental rock mechanics. The title looks at triaxial testing, types of brittle fracture and the geophysical and geological implications of two types of fracture amongst other topics.

This text reviews existing applications of geosynthestics and geosystems in hydraulic and coastal engineering. For each system an overview is given on material specification, structural components, tools used during design, and possible applications.

This text describes several geological processes, such as the lithospheric deformation and evolution of groundwater resources, which are directly or indirectly influenced by the movements of subsurface fluids from crustal level to the Earth's core...

Examining the core principles of soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering, this text also covers the design methodology of shallow and deep foundations, as well as ground improvement techniques, such as reinforced earth and geotextiles.

The proceedings of the international conference Tunnelling Asia 2000. The papers cover such topics as rock mass classification, rock mass analysis, highway tunnels and underground storage, as well as metro tunnelling.

A translation of "Guide de Conception et de Gestation Des Reseaux D'assainissement Unitaires - Etat de L'art, Paris 1996." This title covers such topics as: data on rainstorm run-off pollution.

A collection of 76 papers from the proceedings of the International Symposium on geoenvironmental reclamation. The topics covered include land degradation and reclamation, waste disposal, eco-friendly working, and water pollution.

A reference for architects and engineers, this work covers themes on architecture, case studies, and the application and strengths of tubular beams.

The proceedings of the 6th International Symposium on Mining in the Arctic, held in Greenland in 2001. The papers cover a wide variety of topics, including: mining exploration and exploitation; mining engineering and mine design.

This text covers the many aspects of engineering education, especially on an international level. Subjects covered include: industry and profession needs; culturally inclusive engineering; international dimensions; European engineering eduacation; and others.

An examination of creative systems in structural and construction engineering taken from conference proceedings. This work covers various topics ranging from construction methods, safety and quality to seismic response of structural elements and soils and pavement.

The papers in this volume cover topics in the field of geoengineering in arid lands. Topics include: coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical processes in geomechanics; sediment formation in marine environment; soil stability and stabilization techniques.

These proceedings, along with the CD-ROM, present an overview of advances in groundwater research. The book covers topics such as groundwater quality, natural attenuation and remediation technologies.

This work examines the Statnamic loading test, which allows the accurate and efficient evaluation of pile performance under intended loads. Topics covered include: case studies; global standardization of rapid load testing and interpretation.

It is a truism that we can no longer freely pick areas with the most suitable ground conditions for building purposes. Soils must often be improved in order to take the loads from buildings, roads and other objects. This volume contains papers covering a range of relevant topics and issues.

This title looks at geo-technical aspects of underground construction, from bored tunnelling to shield tunnelling, modelling and prediction and braced excavation.

Structural mechanics in Australasia is the focus of the some 100 papers, but among them are also contributions from North America, Japan, Britain, Asia, and Southeast Asia. Only abstracts are provided for the three keynote papers.

Topics covered materials and microstructures; process modelling; crystal imperfections; polycrystals and properties; constitutive modelling; plasticity and failure; metal forming and casting processes and process and product design.

Topics covered in this symposium included geochemical record of terrestrial environmental change and global geochemical cycles; chemical weathering and climate, river catchment studies; organic geochemistry; mineralogy, microbes and more.

The 184 papers contained in this volume summarize developments in mining science and technology worldwide and provides insights into the future of mining, outlining the main directions of its development.

The 98 papers from the December 1999 symposium report on new technologies and monitoring approaches in field geotechnical instrument measurements, and case studies on geotechnical projects.
