Computational Geomechanics 2Nd Edition: Theory And Applications

A unique illustrated book providing a comprehensive approach to the design, design-checking, load testing and operations of bridge erection machines. Bridge Construction Equipment is a unique book tackling refined movable structures used in the bridge industry.

Comprehensive account, treating both theoretical and applied aspects of debris flow. The text begins with a discussion of fundamental mechanical aspects, such as flow characteristics, type classification, mechanics, occurrence and development, fully-developed flow and deposition processes. The second part of the book sheds light on the application of theory in relation to computer-simulated reproductions of real disasters. Attention is paid to debris flow controlling structures, design effectiveness and performance, soft countermeasure problems, such as identification of debris flow prone ravines and the prediction of occurrence by the concept of precipitation threshold.

engineers working in the fields of design, analysis, fabrication and construction of masts and/or towers will accomplish their tasks with confidence by consulting this book” – Mamoru Kawaguchi, President of IASS
