Introduction to Environmental Soil Physics
Author: Daniel HillelPublisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 008049577X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 511
Book Description
An abridged, student-oriented edition of Hillel's earlier published Environmental Soil Physics, Introduction to Environmental Soil Physics is a more succinct elucidation of the physical principles and processes governing the behavior of soil and the vital role it plays in both natural and managed ecosystems. The textbook is self-contained and self-explanatory, with numerous illustrations and sample problems. Based on sound fundamental theory, the textbook leads to a practical consideration of soil as a living system in nature and illustrates the influences of human activity upon soil structure and function. Students, as well as other readers, will better understand the importance of soils and the pivotal possition they occupy with respect to careful and knowledgeable conservation. - Written in an engaging and clear style, posing and resolving issues relevant to the terrestrial environment - Explores the gamut of the interactions among the phases in the soil and the dynamic interconnection of the soil with the subterranean and atmospheric domains - Reveals the salient ideas, approaches, and methods of environmental soil physics - Includes numerous illustrative exercises, which are explicitly solved - Designed to serve for classroom and laboratory instruction, for self-study, and for reference - Oriented toward practical problems in ecology, field-scale hydrology, agronomy, and civil engineering - Differs from earlier texts in its wider scope and holistic environmental conception

ISBN: 0756705703
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 406
Book Description
Designed to assist facility managers, state & tribal environmental managers, & the public to evaluate & choose protective practices for managing industrial waste in new landfills, waste piles, surface impoundments, & land application units. Identifies the components of a sound waste management system & the reasons why each is important. Also includes groundwater & air models, as well as other tools to help tailor waste management practices to a particular facility. This guidance reflects 4 underlying principles: protect human health & the environment; tailor management practices to risks; affirm state & tribal leadership; & foster a partnership.
Pavement Design for Seasonal Frost Conditions
Author: Sensing Issues in Civil Structural Health Monitoring
Author: Farhad AnsariPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9781402036606
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 552
Book Description
Civil infrastructure systems are generally the most expensive assets in any country, and these systems are deteriorating at an alarming rate. In addition, these systems have a long service life in comparison to most other commercial products. As well, the introduction of intelligent materials and innovative design approaches in these systems is painfully slow due to heavy relianceon traditional construction and maintenance practices, and the conservative nature of design codes. Feedback on the "state of the health" of constructed systems is practically nonexistent. In the quest for lighter, stronger and corrosion-resistant structures, the replacement of ferrous materials by high-strength fibrous ones is being actively pursued in several countries around the world, both with respect to the design of new structures as well as for the rehabilitation and strengthening of existing ones. In North America, active research in the design of new highway bridges is focused on a number of specialty areas, including the replacement of steel reinforcing bars in concrete deck slabs by randomly distributed low-modulus fibers, and the replacement of steel prestressing cables for concrete components by tendons comprising super-strong fibers. Research is also being conducted on using FRPs to repair and strengthen existing structures.
