Innovation in Geotechnical Engineering

Tools, Techniques and Methods

Geomechanics Research

This book provides a basis to interpret acoustic emission (AE) as damage processes in stressed rock, with applications to stress measurements, size effects, source mechanisms, and fracture mechanics. Basic features of an AE monitoring system will be covered, with some background on the sensor, pre-amplifier, and data acquisition. Several examples of AE monitoring will include both lab and field applications ranging from element testing to hydraulic fracturing. Intended for geologists, geophysicists and mining, petroleum and civil engineers dealing with rock stress and rock damage processes.

Microcracking in Rock as Acoustic Emission

This book provides a systematic review of nature-based solutions and their potential to address current environmental challenges. It will be of great interest to policymakers, practitioners and researchers involved in nature-based solutions, sustainable urban planning, environmental management and sustainable development generally.

Latent Heat Storage for Energy-Efficient Buildings and Zero-Carbon Communities serves as an up-to-date reference guide on the rapid progress the field is experiencing while keeping up with the much-required transformative initiatives to improve buildings' energy performance worldwide. To lay the foundations, the book opens with coverage of the fundamentals of phase-change materials, including their thermo-physical properties, nanoscale thermal transport mechanisms, encapsulation techniques, and heat transfer enhancement methods. It goes on to explore the integration of latent heat storage solutions in building envelopes or solar photovoltaics and heating/cooling systems, using mathematical models and performance analysis to discuss thermal management aspects for net-zero energy buildings and zero-carbon community concepts. The volume then delves into practical application of the most advanced, artificial intelligence-powered tools for system modeling and simulation, demand-side management control strategies, and metaheuristic optimization approaches. It finally concludes with an overview of technical challenges and emerging research areas which evidence academic and industry communities’ persistent interest in the future directions of topics interconnected with the sustainable development of the built environment.

Latent Heat Storage for Energy-Efficient Buildings and Zero-Carbon Communities

Following the importance of understanding and asssessing geotechnical hazards, vulnerability and risk, new concepts and techniques of reliability analysis have been developed in the last 20 years. Though widely accepted, application has been slow. This book introduces basic principles and methods of geotechnical risk and reliability and demonstrates their relevance for improved understanding, more effective strategies and better problem-solving skills. Attention is given to the latest developments in the application to geotechnical problems and how reliability analysis and assessment of hazard and risk along with suitable observational approaches can facilitate the management of risk.

Establishing reliable and sustainable public transport services is a top development priority for cities that face ever-growing urbanization trends and pressures to meet zero-carbon goals. Creating new transport corridors is always a challenge, so existing roads end up providing attractive routes for public transit. When this involves using rails, it becomes even more of an engineering feat. Embedded Rail Tracks is a comprehensive resource on this high-performing type of trackway system, which provides minimal disruption to wheeled vehicles sharing the same public roads. The volume opens by briefly reviewing the history of embedded tracks, especially tramways and light railways, to then analyze the design, installation, and operation of existing embedded track systems. Accounts of reasons for failure and evidence-based maintenance and repair methods are also included. The book surveys the latest innovations, presents case studies, and includes considerations related to the environment, energy use, and safety that lead to insightful conclusions for future investments in more robust and less costly transport infrastructure.

This book assesses the importance of the cultural dimensions of water management, which differ from one region of the world to another, from humid Southeast Asia to arid parts of the Middle East and Africa. Water is a vital resource, and water circulation brings invaluable benefits in many ways. Too much or too little water can also create disasters, however, including flooding and drought. Water is considered "too much to control" in humid areas and "too little to survive" in arid regions. There is a great storehouse of traditional and scientific knowledge on water management as an expression of culture in both arid and humid areas. The qanat, for example, is used in some arid regions to control the transport of water underground. In humid areas, people have long existed under the threat of heavy flooding by drawing upon traditional knowledge for survival. Once-effective water management is threatened, however, by climate change such as global warming and by the globalization and urbanization of society. Adaptive water management is now imperative as climate and society undergo changes. Not only political and institutional solutions are called for. As well, adaptations of traditional methods must be introduced into modern systems of water management. This book provides valuable guidance on how that synthesis can be achieved.
