Download or read book Florida Sinkholes written by Robert Brinkmann and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Below the live oaks, palm trees, cypress swamps, and springs, water is slowly wearing away the limestone bedrock of Florida. The erosion is often unseen, and over time it can result in shocking cave-ins like the destructive spectacle of the 1981 Winter Park sinkhole. Florida Sinkholes--the first comprehensive book on the subject--is an easy-to-follow guide to understanding how sinkholes form and what to do about Florida's sometimes pockmarked landscape. City planners, construction managers, developers, and homeowners alike will find this book invaluable because of the heavy impact and increasing frequency of sinkhole formation in the state. Amateur geologists will be fascinated by the subtle forces of nature that can make solid rock disappear. Tackling the problem of sinkholes in useful detail, this book packs an abundance of sound scientific fact into frank, readable language. Learn about the captivating workings of karst, a term for the swiss cheese-like formations of soluble rock that underlie the peninsula. Discover current state-of-the-art approaches to mapping sinkholes and subsurface voids. Review such practical concerns as structural damage, repairs, insurance problems, and management of karst lands. Examine case studies of several notable sinkholes and sinkhole events. Even before you've finished reading, you may find yourself itching to get out and visit these intriguing marvels of Florida geology for yourself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is one out of 8 IAEG XII Congress volumes, and deals with the theme of urban geology. Along with a rapidly growing world population, the wave of urban growth continues, causing cities to swell and new metropolitan centers to emerge. These global trends also open new ventures for underground city development. Engineering geology plays a major role in facing the increasing issues of the urban environment, such as: finding aggregates for construction works; providing adequate water supply and waste management; solving building problems associated to geological and geomorphological conditions; evaluating host rock conditions for underground constructions; preventing or mitigating geological and seismic hazards. Furthermore, this book illustrates recent advancements in sustainable land use planning, which includes conservation, protection, reclamation and landscape impact of open pit mining and alternative power generation. The Engineering Geology for Society and Territory volumes of the IAEG XII Congress held in Torino from September 15-19, 2014, analyze the dynamic role of engineering geology in our changing world and build on the four main themes of the congress: environment, processes, issues and approaches. The congress topics and subject areas of the 8 IAEG XII Congress volumes are: 1. Climate Change and Engineering Geology 2. Landslide Processes River Basins 3. Reservoir Sedimentation and Water Resources 4. Marine and Coastal Processes Urban Geology 5. Sustainable Planning and Landscape Exploitation 6. Applied Geology for Major Engineering Projects 7. Education, Professional Ethics and Public Recognition of Engineering Geology 8. Preservation of Cultural Heritage

Download or read book Repair Evaluation Maintenance and Rehabilitation Research Program Geotechnical Applications of the Self Potential SP Method Report 1 The Use of Self Potential in the Detection of Subsurface Flow Patterns in and Around Sinkholes written by Ronald A. Erchul and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self potential (SP) measurements were effectively used in the detection of surface and subsurface drainage around a sinkhole. The same SP technique was also able to track an apparent subsurface flow path for over 600 ft from one sinkhole into another sinkhole. Confirmation of the SP data was obtained by visual observation, electrical resistivity measurements and geological studies. The use of this geophysical technique was evaluated in and around sinkholes in a karst area of west central Virginia. The SP electrode configuration consisted of a double ring of electrodes circumferentially located around each sinkhole. Two reference electrodes were used in taking SP measurements. One reference electrode was located outside the rings of electrodes, and the other was located in the center of one of the sinkholes. Once a major drainage path around the sinkhole was detected, an array of electrodes was used to track the flow path. Although SP data varied significantly for individual electrodes during the 6-month testing period, the relative values between electrodes were consistent. This finding was also true if the position of the reference electrode was changed. It appeared that changes in precipitation and temperature had a great effect on the variation of SP data over the testing period. Keywords: Subsurface drainage; Surface drainage.
