Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Fluvial Hydraulics, Liverpool, UK, 2nd- 6th September, 2024

A practical, straightforward, and easy-to-use graduate-level textbook on the principles of foundation engineering Advanced Foundation Engineering offers clear and detailed coverage of all aspects of the design, analysis, construction, and testing of structural elements responsible for transferring imposed loads from a superstructure to the ground. Written for advanced undergraduate and graduate engineering students, this comprehensive textbook incorporates traditional foundation engineering topics as well as recent advances and innovations in the field. The authors include discussion of timely issues such as the impact of the digital revolution, worldwide environmental concerns, the increasing scarcity of raw materials, the use of geotechnical data banks, the sustainability of construction materials, and new site investigation techniques. Focused on practical application rather than theoretical background, 27 in-depth chapters address the principles of geotechnical engineering, spread footings and mats, ground modifications, floating and shell foundations, single piles and drilled shafts, testing and calculation procedures, and more. Detailed case studies in each chapter connect the principles and performance of a particular foundation system, illustrate the measurement and evaluation of performance criteria, demonstrate the accuracy of analytical predictions, and validate the assumptions made in the analysis and design process. Providing the knowledge base required to design and build foundations for various types of onshore, offshore, and inland structures, Advanced Foundation Engineering: Outlines the key components of foundation systems, contemporary classification systems, analysis considerations, and design proceduresCovers diverse types of foundations and construction techniques, including shallow and semi-deep foundations, skirted and bucket foundations, floating foundations, and pile groupsDescribes data synthesis in preparing geotechnical reports, interactions between problematic soils and foundation design, and factors influencing the engineering properties of geomaterialsReviews the construction of various foundations on different geomaterials, key geotechnical requirements, and soil improvement methodsProvides insights into mitigating foundation issues, optimizing foundation selection, and maximizing existing foundations Advanced Foundation Engineering: Principles, Performance, and Prospects is an ideal textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in foundation engineering and geotechnical engineering, and an invaluable reference for professional geotechnical engineers.

Forensic Engineering for Academia

Managing the Future: Sustainability Leadership in Energy offers an invaluable guide on how to lead sustainability within the energy sector by presenting real-world experiences of leaders who have successfully integrated sustainability into their operations. The book outlines the framework provided by the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), emphasizing practical strategies for achieving these goals. The book delves into various aspects, including Sustainability and ESG reporting, the intersection of Sustainability and Geoscience, and effective communication, vision, and strategy setting. It also highlights the contributions of academic leaders in advancing the 2030 UN Sustainability Agenda, and provides narratives from other sectors to illustrate common challenges and opportunities in corporate sustainability initiatives.

Managing the Future

The chapters in this volume investigate some of the most important urban upheavals in recent history through different political, social and cultural contexts. Through this cross section of case studies from Ukraine, Belarus, Myanmar, Lebanon, Spain, United States, South Korea and Iran, authors envision the future of the successful urban protest as a whole-society movement in which all aspects of a city's morphology are effectively leveraged. The volume illustrates the ways in which these protests consciously and subconsciously drew lessons from each other's experiences and integrated physical and virtual tools. Urban environments shape, facilitate, and/or complicate protests and the degree to which protesters recognize and internalize these features is often key to their efficacy. Moreover, emerging protest strategies proliferate and change to fit the context in which they occur. Using interviews, mapping, architectural and planning-scale documentation of urban morphologies, this volume traces the development of important protests and the evolution of protest strategy in balancing the physical and the virtual. It will be of interest to architects, urban sociologists, urban planners, historians, political scientists, journalists, and anyone else interested in how the city shapes resistance.

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.

Power, Conflict, and Possibilities

Atlas of Green Energy Transitions

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.
