Download or read book Geotechnical Engineering in the XXI Century Lessons learned and future challenges written by N.P. López-Acosta and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2019-11-26 with total page 3006 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first Pan-American Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (PCSMGE) was held in Mexico in 1959. Every 4 years since then, PCSMGE has brought together the geotechnical engineering community from all over the world to discuss the problems, solutions and future challenges facing this engineering sector. Sixty years after the first conference, the 2019 edition returns to Mexico. This book, Geotechnical Engineering in the XXI Century: Lessons learned and future challenges, presents the proceedings of the XVI Pan-American Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (XVI PCSMGE), held in Cancun, Mexico, from 17 – 20 November 2019. Of the 393 full papers submitted, 335 were accepted for publication after peer review. They are included here organized into 19 technical sessions, and cover a wide range of themes related to geotechnical engineering in the 21st century. Topics covered include: laboratory and in-situ testing; analytical and physical modeling in geotechnics; numerical modeling in geotechnics; unsaturated soils; soft soils; foundations and retaining structures; excavations and tunnels; offshore geotechnics; transportation in geotechnics; natural hazards; embankments and tailings dams; soils dynamics and earthquake engineering; ground improvement; sustainability and geo-environment; preservation of historic sites; forensics engineering; rock mechanics; education; and energy geotechnics. Providing a state-of-the-art overview of research into innovative and challenging applications in the field, the book will be of interest to all those working in soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. In this proceedings, 58% of the contributions are in English, and 42% of the contributions are in Spanish or Portuguese.

Download or read book From Fundamentals to Applications in Geotechnics written by D. Manzanal and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2015-12-11 with total page 3344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work of geotechnical engineers contributes to the creation of safe, economic and pleasant spaces to live, work and relax all over the world. Advances are constantly being made, and the expertise of the profession becomes ever more important with the increased pressure on space and resources. This book presents the proceedings of the 15th Pan-American Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (XV PCSMGE), held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in November 2015. This conference, held every four years, is an important opportunity for international experts, researchers, academics, professionals and geo-engineering companies to meet and exchange ideas and research findings in the areas of soil mechanics, rock mechanics, and their applications in civil, mining and environmental engineering. The articles are divided into nine sections: transportation geotechnics; in-situ testing; geo-engineering for energy and sustainability; numerical modeling in geotechnics; foundations and ground improvement; unsaturated soil behavior; embankments, dams and tailings; excavations and tunnels; and geo-risks, and cover a wide spectrum of issues from fundamentals to applications in geotechnics. This book will undoubtedly represent an essential reference for academics, researchers and practitioners in the field of soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. In this proceedings, approximately 65% of the contributions are in English, and 35% of the contributions are in Spanish or Portuguese.
Download or read book Proyecto Arquitectonico En Zonas Sismicas written by Alejandro Rojas Contreras and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La arquitectura mexicana actual está mostrando su talento en las obras que proyectan. Sin embargo, sea cual fuese el proyecto arquitectónico, es indispensable considerar las condiciones que existirán en eventos sísmicos. No hacerlo así significa exponerse a incertidumbres de servicio o riesgos de estabilidad, que pueden inhabilitar o hacer fallar la estructura que se trate. Fue así como se perdieron en la ciudad de México legados importantes de arquitectura, por los efectos del sismo de 1985. A partir de ese entonces somos mejores: aprendimos que la arquitectura está ligada a las condiciones de su entorno. La Torre Latinoamericana es un icono de la Ciudad de México porque conjunta arquitectura, estructura, cimentación y sismo. El sismo de 1957 permitió reconocer el avance que se estaba logrando al integrar el diseño sísmico y la arquitectura. El de 1985 nos recordó que esa integración no es opcional, es necesaria. Esto exige que la participación del arquitecto y el ingeniero sea estrecha para beneficio de todos. El costo en vidas y los daños materiales se minimizan en la medida en que se incrementen las consideraciones sísmicas en los proyectos arquitectónicos. El presente libro lo introduce a uno en el tema, cómo y por qué se originan los sismos, cuáles son los principales elementos a considerar en el cálculo de las fuerzas sísmicas, y cómo se integran esos resultados en el diseño final. Es mérito del autor haberlo logrado: su formación académica de licenciatura en ingeniería civil, su postgrado en arquitectura y su desarrollo profesional en ambas actividades, lo han permitido. Es así como logra llevar al lector en un recorrido que permite visualizar la importancia del proyecto arquitectónico en zonas sísmicas. Explica de manera amena los elementos básicos que se requiere conocer de física, sismología y estructuras para llegar a los conceptos de coeficiente sísmico y espectro de diseño. Aborda el efecto de los sismos en los suelos: los tipos de suelos y sus características, los reglamentos de interés y comentarios en paralelo para ampliar las perspectivas del tema. Continúa con el efecto de los sismos en los edificios, el comportamiento de sus elementos y sistemas estructurales. Presenta las condiciones de diseño arquitectónico en zonas sísmicas y las configuraciones antisísmicas a considerar. Completa este marco general con el comportamiento de los diversos sistemas estructurales y los procesos aplicables, indicando las precauciones que deben tenerse durante su construcción. Al final presenta casos prácticos, que son ejemplos actuales de proyectos urbanos que no son ajenos al lector. Este libro de Alejandro Rojas ayudará a quien lo utilice, ya sea en el aula o en el taller de arquitectura... Carlos E Gutiérrez Sarmiento Abril del 2008.
Download or read book Greenhouse Gases and Clay Minerals written by Vyacheslav Romanov and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-19 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a systematic compilation of the most recent body of knowledge in the rapidly developing research area of greenhouse gas interaction with clay systems. Unexpected results of the most recent studies – such as unusually high sorption capacity and sorption hysteresis of swelling clays –stimulated theoretical activity in this fascinating field. Classical molecular dynamics (MD) explains swelling caused by intercalation of water molecules and to a certain degree of CO2 molecules in clay interlayer. However, unusual frequency shifts in the transient infrared fingerprints of the intercalated molecules and the following accelerated carbonation can be tackled only via quantum mechanical modeling. This book provides a streamlined (from simple to complex) guide to the most advanced research efforts in this field.
Download or read book Dam Maintenance and Rehabilitation written by M. Cabrera and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 1012 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the life of a dam, changes in safety standards, legislation and land use will inevitably occur, and functional deterioration may also appear. To meet these challenges, these Proceedings from a panel of international experts assess, define and re-evaluate the design criteria for the construction of dams and the many attendant issues in on-going maintenance and management. Authors include international specialists: academics, professionals and those in local government, utilities and suppliers. Practitioners from these same fields will find the book a useful tool in acquiring a comprehensive knowledge of managing and retrofitting dams, so that they can continue to meet society's needs.
