Book excerpt: Ladies a n d g e n t 1 e m e n , I have the pleasure to welcome you here in Prague in the name of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences and to open the Fifth Inter national Colloquium on Soil Zoology. We are very glad that Czecho slovakia was chosen for this important meeting. It is clear to all of us that the soil plays and will play a de cisive part in providing food for the explosive increase of human pop ulation. For this reason we watch with great anxiety the negative influence of human activities on the environment accompanied also by the other destructive intervention into the soil ecosystem, its devas tation by inefficient management, application of herbicides and pesti cides pollution by the waste products of industry and human settlements. The basis for solving these accumulating and now sometimes latent prob lems is among others a good knowledge of the role of soil organisms in the cycles of materials and in the energy flow. Soil zoology as a part of soil biology is still at the beginning of this trend The lack of in formation about life in soil is obvious when compared with the results of a related biological science dealing with the water ecosystem.

This book was released on 2013-11-21 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die 5. "Verhandlungen der Gesellschaft fur Okologie" enthalten die Vortrage der vom 22. bis 24. September 197 5 in Wien durchgefuhrten J ahrestagung. Schwer punktsmassig behandeln die Referate alpine und arktische Okosysteme, die okologi schen und genetischen Voraussetzungen fur das Leben in Trockengebieten sowie limnische Okosysteme. Durch die Berucksichtigung der diese Systeme tangierenden IBP- und MAB-Forschungsprogramme liefern sie zugleich auch aktuelle Informa tionen uber laufende Forschungsprojekte unserer Osterreichischen und schweizer Kollegen. Struktudle und energetische Untersuchungen uber einzelne Okosysteme, Biozo nosen und Populationen stehen dabei im Vordergrund. Die vorgelegten Arbeiten verdeutlichen, dass jedes lebendige System uber die Kenntnis seiner Struktur, Funk tion und Geschichte Informationen zu einem tieferen Verstandnis des von ihm belebten Raumes liefert. Sie zeigen, dass letztlich jeder Suche nach "Belastungsindi katoren" und "okologischen Kriterien" die Frage nach dem Informationsgehalt von Organismen und lebenden Systemen sowie deren Reaktionen auf endo- und exogene Faktoren zugrunde liegt. Sowohl aus Veranderungen der Areal- und Okosysteme, als auch aus Wandlungen von Biozonosen und deren Reaktionen wurden Ruckschlusse auf die diese Veranderungen auslosenden Faktoren gezogen. Populationen und Bio zonosen reagieren naturgemass nach eigenen Regeln, konnen jedoch nur existieren, wenn sie bestandig auch Informationen uber andere Komponenten aus ihrem Ver breitungsgebiet speichern und verarbeiten. Diese adaptiven Fahigkeiten der unter suchten Arten und Systeme sind jedoch noch weitgehend unbearbeitet. Hier klafft eine echte Lucke, die den Transfer okologischer Daten z. B. in di. c Landesplanung erschwert. Die Qualitat jeder Planung hangt weitgehend von den eingesetzten okologischen, sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Erhebungsdaten ab."

Download or read book Recommendations on Piling EA Pf hle written by Geotechnik and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-12-09 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook provides a complete and detailed overview of piling systems and their application. The design and construction of piled foundations is based on Eurocode 7 and DIN 1054 edition 2010 as well as the European construction codes DIN EN 1536 (Bored piles), DIN EN 12699 (Displacement piles) and DIN EN 14199 (Micropiles). These recommendations also deal with - categorisation of piling systems, - actions on piles from structural loading, negative skin friction and side pressure, - pile resistances from static and dynamic pile test loading as well as extensive tables with the pile load-bearing capacity of nearly all piling systems based on values from practical experience, - pile groups, - performance of static and dynamic test loading and integrity tests, - load-bearing behaviour and verifications for piles under cyclical, dynamic and impact actions - quality assurance for construction. An appendix with numerous calculation examples completes the work. As part of the approval procedure for offshore wind energy structures, the Federal Office for Shipping and Hydrography (BSH) demands verifications according to the new Chapter 13 ("Load-bearing behaviour and verifications for piles under cyclical, dynamical and impact actions") of the EA Pfähle (the recommendations of the Piling working group - 2nd edition), which deals with external pile resistance for the foundations of offshore wind energy structures and the types of verifications to be provided under cyclical actions. The publication of the EA-Pfähle recommendations by the Piling working group of the German Society for Geotechnics (DGGT), which works with the same members as the piling standards committee NA 00-05-07, is intended to provide assistance for engineers active in the design, calculation and construction of piled foundations. The recommendations can thus be considered as rules of the technology and as a supplement to the available codes and standards.

Download or read book Vibration Problems in Structures written by Hugo Bachmann and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Authors: Hugo Bachmann, Walter J. Ammann, Florian Deischl, Josef Eisenmann, Ingomar Floegl, Gerhard H. Hirsch, Günter K. Klein, Göran J. Lande, Oskar Mahrenholtz, Hans G. Natke, Hans Nussbaumer, Anthony J. Pretlove, Johann H. Rainer, Ernst-Ulrich Saemann, Lorenz Steinbeisser. Large structures such as factories, gymnasia, concert halls, bridges, towers, masts and chimneys can be detrimentally affected by vibrations. These vibrations can cause either serviceability problems, severely hampering the user's comfort, or safety problems. The aim of this book is to provide structural and civil engineers working in construction and environmental engineering with practical guidelines for counteracting vibration problems. Dynamic actions are considered from the following sources of vibration: - human body motions, - rotating, oscillating and impacting machines, - wind flow, - road traffic, railway traffic and construction work. The main section of the book presents tools that aid in decision-making and in deriving simple solutions to cases of frequently occurring "normal" vibration problems. Complexer problems and more advanced solutions are also considered. In all cases these guidelines should enable the engineer to decide on appropriate solutions expeditiously. The appendices of the book contain fundamentals essential to the main chapters.
