Geoenvironment 2000
The impact of rapid industrialization around the globe and unsafe waste management practices have become increasingly significant within the last two decades as the disclosed number of unengineered facilities and contaminated sites steadily grow and the anticipated remediation costs increase. A new service sector is emerging across the world in waste containment, soil remediation and environmental restoration. The need to accomplish the tasks given in environmental restoration and waste manageme...
Use of Geophysical Methods in Construction
This proceeding presents recent advancements and practical applications of geophysical methods to solve construction-related problems or to facilitate the construction process. New methods and improvements to existing methods are also discussed. Geophysical techniques can assist the construction industry in many ways, before during and after construction. Pre-construction activities presented include utility engineering, site reconnaissance, and anomaly detection. During construction, geophysica...
The Geotechnical Design and Application Manual includes all the material covered on a geotechnical engineering module in a construction-related diploma or degree course. In addition to covering site investigation, engineering geology, soils and rocks, groundwater; foundations; earth pressures and retaining walls, slope stability and ground improvement, the book also covers Eurocode 7 on geotechnical design. By detailing both British Standard design methods and those employing the Eurocode 7 wi...

Rock bolting: Theory and application in mining and underground construction
Rock bolts today represent the dominant support system in mines and underground structures. Some results and experiences are discussed to give a better understanding of the strength of individual rock bolts and systems of bolts, and the interaction between bolts and rock masses of various types. Topics covered are as follows: rock bolting in theory and experiments; design principles and experience; and ground control and instrumentation: cable bolting
Mining, Materials, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Mining, Materials, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): 2030 and Beyond provides a systematic assessment of how the mining and materials sector contributes to the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) set forth by the United Nations in 2015. While the target date of 2030 is considered a benchmark for reaching these goals, the book looks beyond this date and considers a longer-term vision. FEATURES Written by a consortium of authors from developing and developed countries Offers co...

Rock Mechanics and Engineering, 5 volume set
The five-volume set "Comprehensive Rock Engineering", which was published in 1993, has had an important influence on the development of rock mechanics and rock engineering. Significant and extensive advances and achievements in these fields over the last 20 years now justify the publishing of a comparable, new compilation. Rock Mechanics and Engineering represents a highly prestigious, multi-volume work edited by Professor Xia-Ting Feng, with the editorial advice of Professor John A. Hudson. Thi...
Rock Fragmentation by Blasting
This volume contains the papers presented at the 9th International Symposium on Rock Fragmentation by Blasting, held in Granada, Spain, 13-17 August 2009. A state-of-the-art collection of articles on developments in rock blasting and explosives engineering, with contributions on rock characterization, explosives and initiation systems, blast design and monitoring, fragmentation assessment, numerical modeling, vibrations from blasting, environmental and economical aspects of rock blasting, and mo...
Recycled Materials in Geotechnics
This Geotechnical Special Publication presents fifteen papers highlighting the latest developments in the rapidly evolving field of recycled materials in geotechnics. A number of recent federal and state initiatives have promoted use of these materials, which are seeing increasingly common use in engineering practice. The use of recycled materials is now required for some federally funded projects, and many states municipalities now offer economic incentives encouraging the use these materials i...
Evaluation of the Maccaferri Terramesh System Retaining Wall
by Highway Innovative Technology Evaluation Center
Prepared by the Highway Innovative Technology Evaluation Center (HITEC), a CERF/IIEC Innovation Center. This report describes a HITEC evaluation designed to determine the basic capabilities and limitations of the Terramesh Retaining Wall System for use as a technically viable, mechanically stabilized earth, retaining wall system. The evaluation was conducted based on material, design, construction, performance, and quality assurance mainformation outlined in the HITEC Protocol. The Terramesh Sys...
AUA Guidelines for Backfilling and Contact Grouting of Tunnels and Shafts
by Raymond W Henn
This book provides comprehensive guidelines for the filling of voids for both soft ground and rock tunnels and shafts. The underground construction industry will find these guidelines useful for minimizing misunderstandings related to backfilling and contact grouting terms and methods; improving the quality of contract documents related to backfilling and contact grouting and the in-place material; reducing costs and schedule time; and avoiding or minimizing potential claims. The coverage includ...
The ratio of water to cementitious materials in a concrete mix is recognized as a prime determinant of the strength and ultimate durability of the concrete. In 1994, Troxler Electronic Laboratories introduced the Model 4430 Nuclear Water/Cement Ratio Gauge - a gauge designed to measure the water to cement ratio in fresh concrete sequentially. The HITEC volunteer panel directed this project to evaluate the gauge, and planned it to cover four phases: computer simulations, laboratory testing, preci...
