This special issue collects selected contributions (excluding general lectures) of a Symposium on "Micro to MACRO Mathematical Modelling in Soil Mechanics", which took place at the University of Reggio Calabria, Italy, from May 29th to June 1st, 2018. The Symposium provided an opportunity to enhance the scientific debate on the construction of mathematical models for the description of the physical behaviour of soils, as well as on the suggestions provided by the micro-mechanical observation of the matter. The focus was on the comparison between the appropriateness of models and the need of mathematics to obtain rigorous results, which involves know-how from applied mathematical physics, geotechnical engineering and mechanics of solids.

The comprehensive guide to performing work at height more safely and at less cost: In the present economy, employers around the globe are working harder than ever to maximize safety in work at height with a careful eye toward fiscal responsibility.   In the drive to do more with less (workers, money, time, resources, etc.) rope access offers the opportunity to raise the bar in both safety and cost-efficiency.  This specialized mode of access and protection is a solution that site owners and managers frequently turn to for putting specially trained, certified technicians in hard-to-reach places with maximum safety and minimal cost. Professional Rope Access: A Guide to Working Safely at Height is a comprehensive guide that employers, safety managers, trainers, and technicians can use to develop and maintain a rope access program that will get more work accomplished at a lower cost and with greater safety than conventional methods can achieve.

Professional Rope Access features topics on: Planning For Rope Access such as personnel selection and training and Equipment for Rigging + Skills For The Rope Access Technician including Rigging Concepts, Advanced Techniques, Powered Devices, and Rescue + Program Administration from Writing a Work Order through Equipment Inspection & Care.

Statics is one of the most important and fundamental courses in engineering mechanics. The objective of this book is to impart knowledge of fundamental concepts and to gain skill of identifying, formulating and solving engineering problems and also to apply concepts of statics in solving real life problems. The book starts with an introduction to mechanics and goes on to cover concepts of statics like system of forces, equilibrium, analysis of structures, centroid, moment of inertial, friction and stress strain. The topics are covered in an easy to understand manner. Since problem solving is critical in engineering mechanics, the solutions to the problems are given in a systematic and step-wise manner.
