Geotechnical Aspects of Pavements 2000
Author: Geotechnical Aspects of Pavement Engineering
Author: Nishantha BandaraPublisher: Momentum Press
ISBN: 1606505416
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 102
Book Description
Familiarity with geotechnical aspects of pavement engineering is essential for the practicing pavement engineer. When designing pavements, accurate characterization of the existing subgrade condition becomes a crucial task. In the past, traditional geotechnical exploration and testing methods have been used to characterize existing subgrade conditions. However, with the introduction of the Mechanistic-Empirical (ME) pavement design, there is a need for improved and more appropriate methods of subgrade characterization, for prediction of future pavement conditions with better accuracy. Hence, this handbook will present a useful tool for practicing pavement engineers.

Book Description
Written by a leader on the subject, Introduction to Geotechnical Engineering is first introductory geotechnical engineering textbook to cover both saturated and unsaturated soil mechanics. Destined to become the next leading text in the field, this book presents a new approach to teaching the subject, based on fundamentals of unsaturated soils, and extending the description of applications of soil mechanics to a wide variety of topics. This groundbreaking work features a number of topics typically left out of undergraduate geotechnical courses.

Author: Material and Energy Recovery from Solid Waste for a Circular Economy
Author: Atun Roy ChoudhuryPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1040085725
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 403
Book Description
Material and Energy Recovery from Solid Waste for a Circular Economy describes solid waste to material and energy recovery to bridge the gap between theoretical possibilities and on-field criticalities. It deals with various resource recovery possibilities from numerous waste streams such as municipal solid, hazardous waste, human faecal sludge, construction and demolition waste, and electronic waste. The practical issues of resource recovery and possible remedies derived through onsite practice and experience are incorporated. It includes real-life feasibility analysis and implementation of waste-to-energy systems supported by case studies. Features: Provides comprehensive discussion on both energy and material recovery Addresses the missing linkage between the techno-commercial feasibility of existing systems and environmental impact Discusses techno-commercial feasibility and environmental impacts Offers balance between theoretical knowledge sharing and practical execution-related issues Includes case study, LCA, and technical feasibility chapters This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in environmental, civil, and chemical engineering.
