Geotechnik
Wiley 2008; US$ 49.95Das Buch vermittelt alle wichtigen Aspekte über den Aufbau und die Eigenschaften des Bodens, die bei der Planung und Berechnung sowie bei der Begutachtung von Schäden des Systems Bauwerk-Baugrund zu berücksichtigen sind. Schwerpunkte sind die Baugrunderkundung, die Ermittlung von Bodenkennwerten im Labor, sowie die Behandlung von Setzungs-... more...
Physical Soil Mechanics
Springer 2011; US$ 229.99Soil is matter in its own right. Its nature can be captured by means of monotonous, cyclic and strange attractors. Thus material properties are defined by the asymptotic response of sand- and clay-like samples to imposed deformations and stresses. This serves to validate and calibrate elastoplastic and hypoplastic relations with comparative plots.... more...
Practical Soil Dynamics
Springer 2011; US$ 99.99The objective of this book is to fill some of the gaps in the existing engineering codes and standards related to soil dynamics, concerning issues in earthquake engineering and ground vibrations, by using formulas and hand calculators. The usefulness and accuracy of the simple analyses are demonstrated by their implementation to the case histories... more...

IOS Press 2011; US$ 174.00This book presents the proceedings of the 21st European Young Geotechnical Engineers Conference, held in the Netherlands in September 2011. Six sections cover the topics of: underground construction; pile foundation and ground improvement; soil dynamics; dams, erosion and piping; deformation and soil properties and geothermics. The papers included... more...
Proceedings of the 15th European Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
IOS Press 2011; US$ 979.00This publication contains the papers presented at the 15th European Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, held in Athens, Greece. Considerable progress has been made in recent decades in understanding the engineering behavior of those hard soils and weak rocks that clearly fall into either the field of soil or of rock mechanics,... more...

IOS Press 2011; US$ 239.00This volume contains 94 papers and 3 keynote lectures presented at the 15th African Regional Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, held in Maputo, Mozambique on 18-21 July 2011. The general theme of the conference was Resource and Infrastructure Geotechnics in Africa: Putting Theory into Practice. The papers are divided into the... more...
Unsaturated Soil Mechanics in Engineering Practice
Wiley 2012; US$ 165.00The definitive guide to unsaturated soil— from the world's experts on the subject This book builds upon and substantially updates Fredlund and Rahardjo's publication, Soil Mechanics for Unsaturated Soils , the current standard in the field of unsaturated soils. It provides readers with more thorough coverage of the state of the art of unsaturated... more...
Statik im Erdbau
Wiley 2012; US$ 86.50Bei der statischen Berechnung von Erdbauten stehen die Probleme der Standsicherheit im Vordergrund. In diesem Buch werden die Nachweise für Böschungen, Dämme sowie Stützmauern behandelt und Anregungen für einheitliche Ansätze gegeben. Ausgewählte Zahlenbeispiele verdeutlichen die Zusammenhänge zwischen den Sicherheitsbedingungen.... more...
Advances in Discontinuous Numerical Methods and Applications in Geomechanics and Geoengineering
CRC Press 2012; US$ 189.00Rocks and soils can behave as discontinuous materials, both physically and mechanically, and for such discontinuous nature and behaviour there remain challenges in numerical modelling methods and techniques. Some of the main discontinuum based numerical methods, for example the distinct element method (DEM) and the discontinuous deformation analysis... more...
Rock Mechanics and Engineering
