Geotechnical Engineering in the XXI Century: Lessons learned and future challenges
Author: N.P. López-AcostaPublisher: IOS Press
ISBN: 1643680315
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 3006
Book Description
The first Pan-American Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (PCSMGE) was held in Mexico in 1959. Every 4 years since then, PCSMGE has brought together the geotechnical engineering community from all over the world to discuss the problems, solutions and future challenges facing this engineering sector. Sixty years after the first conference, the 2019 edition returns to Mexico. This book, Geotechnical Engineering in the XXI Century: Lessons learned and future challenges, presents the proceedings of the XVI Pan-American Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (XVI PCSMGE), held in Cancun, Mexico, from 17 – 20 November 2019. Of the 393 full papers submitted, 335 were accepted for publication after peer review. They are included here organized into 19 technical sessions, and cover a wide range of themes related to geotechnical engineering in the 21st century. Topics covered include: laboratory and in-situ testing; analytical and physical modeling in geotechnics; numerical modeling in geotechnics; unsaturated soils; soft soils; foundations and retaining structures; excavations and tunnels; offshore geotechnics; transportation in geotechnics; natural hazards; embankments and tailings dams; soils dynamics and earthquake engineering; ground improvement; sustainability and geo-environment; preservation of historic sites; forensics engineering; rock mechanics; education; and energy geotechnics. Providing a state-of-the-art overview of research into innovative and challenging applications in the field, the book will be of interest to all those working in soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. In this proceedings, 58% of the contributions are in English, and 42% of the contributions are in Spanish or Portuguese.

Reliability of Structures, Second Edition
Author: Andrzej S. NowakPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 0415675758
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 411
Book Description
Reliability of Structures enables both students and practising engineers to appreciate how to value and handle reliability as an important dimension of structural design. It discusses the concepts of limit states and limit state functions, and presents methodologies for calculating reliability indices and calibrating partial safety factors. It also supplies information on the probability distributions and parameters used to characterize both applied loads and member resistances. This revised and extended second edition contains more discussions of US and international codes and the issues underlying their development. There is significant revision and expansion of the discussion on Monte Carlo simulation, along with more examples. The book serves as a textbook for a one-semester course for advanced undergraduates or graduate students, or as a reference and guide to consulting structural engineers. Its emphasis is on the practical applications of structural reliability theory rather than the theory itself. Consequently, probability theory is treated as a tool, and enough is given to show the novice reader how to calculate reliability. Some background in structural engineering and structural mechanics is assumed. A solutions manual is available upon qualifying course adoption.
Tierra Vacante en Ciudades Latinoamericanas

ISBN: 9781558441491
Category : Land use, Urban
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Vacant urban land--the product of land market activity, the actions of private agents, and the policies of public agents--is an important challenge for policy makers. Vacant lots on the urban fringe and in central and interstitial areas have affected growth patterns in Latin America. Contributors to this book analyze the problems and opportunities related to vacant urban land in five cities: Buenos Aires, Argentina; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Quito, Ecuador; Lima, Perú; and San Salvador, El Salvador.
Engineering Dynamics and Vibrations
Author: Junbo JiaPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1351646214
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 421
Book Description
Engineering dynamics and vibrations has become an essential topic for ensuring structural integrity and operational functionality in different engineering areas. However, practical problems regarding dynamics and vibrations are in many cases handled without success despite large expenditures. This book covers a wide range of topics from the basics to advances in dynamics and vibrations; from relevant engineering challenges to the solutions; from engineering failures due to inappropriate accounting of dynamics to mitigation measures and utilization of dynamics. It lays emphasis on engineering applications utilizing state-of-the-art information.
Análisis y diseño sísmico de edificios
Author: Roberto Rochel AwadPublisher: Universidad EAFIT
ISBN: 9587201175
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : es
Pages : 388
Book Description
En el presente texto se ilustra el procedimiento de análisis y diseño sísmico de un edificio de acuerdo con el Reglamento Colombiano de Construcciones Sismo Resistentes, NSR-10. Se desarrolla un modelo analítico lineal de pórticos tridimensionales, se analiza una estructura en el espacio y se ilustra y desarrolla el diseño y detalle de los diferentes elementos que lo conforman como son las columnas, vigas, nudos y muros. No sólo se aplica la norma sino que se discuten sus disposiciones y se compara con las normas de otros países.
