Steve Hencher ... 464 pages - Publisher: CRC Press; (February, 2012) ... Language: English - ISBN-10: 0415469090 - ISBN-13: 978-0415469098

The author presents a broad and fresh view on the importance of engineering geology to civil engineering projects. Practical Engineering Geology provides an introduction to the way that projects are managed, designed and constructed and the ways that the engineering geologist can contribute to cost-effective and safe project achievement. The need for a holistic view of geological materials, from soil to rock, and of geological history is emphasised. Chapters address key aspects of: Geology for engineering and ground modelling - Site investigation and testing of geological materials - Geotechnical parameters - Design of slopes, tunnels, foundations and other engineering structures - Identifying hazards - Avoiding unexpected ground conditions. The book is illustrated throughout with case examples and should prove useful to practising engineering geologists and geotechnical engineers and to MSc level students of engineering geology and other geotechnical subjects.

    Odd E. Gjørv ... 232 pages - Publisher: CRC Press; 1st edition (March, 2009) ... Language: English - ISBN-10: 0415414083 - ISBN-13: 978-0415414081

    By designing in corrosion prevention and through preventive maintenance, the overall service cost of a concrete structure can be substantially reduced. This book takes a probabilistic approach to the engineering design issues for controlling durability and service life of concrete structures in severe environments. Many durability problems are caused by poor quality control as well as special problems during concrete construction. The issue of construction quality and variability need to be grasped before durability can be successfully controlled. This book helps by giving: Reviews of field performance, deteriorating processes and current codes and practice + methods for calculation of corrosion probability; performance-based concrete quality control; corrosion prevention and preventive maintenance + calculation of life cycle costs and life cycle assessment + recommended job specifications.

    Thomas Dyer ... 447 pages - Publisher: CRC Press; 1st edition (April, 2014) ... Language: English - ISBN-10: 0415564751 - ISBN-13: 978-0415564755

    Written specifically for the young professional and addressing a growing need for a long service life with minimal maintenance, Concrete Durability takes a whole new look at the whole-life performance of structures. This text examines physical and chemical issues that can threaten the durability of concrete. It explores available options for achieving appropriate durability, examining how durable concrete can be specified and designed, with emphasis placed on the European standards. The author brings together methods and procedures needed for durability assessment and testing, as well as repair and rehabilitation. The book introduces an approach that identifies what causes deterioration, what factors influence deterioration, and what is required to minimize the rate of deterioration.

    An Ideal Source for Geologists and Others with Little Background in Engineering or Mechanics: Practical Rock Mechanics provides an introduction for graduate students as well as a reference guide for practicing engineering geologists and geotechnical engineers. The book considers fundamental geological processes that give rise to the nature of rock masses and control their mechanical behavior. Stresses in the earth’s crust are discussed and methods of measurement and prediction explained. Ways to investigate, describe, test, and characterize rocks in the laboratory and at project scale are reviewed. The application of rock mechanics principles to the design of engineering structures including tunnels, foundations, and slopes is addressed. The book is illustrated throughout with simple figures and photographs, and important concepts are illustrated by modern case examples. Mathematical equations are kept to the minimum necessary and are explained fully―the book leans towards practice rather than theory.
