Engineering Geology for Society and Territory - Volume 8
by Giorgio Lollino Daniele Giordan Cristian Marunteanu Basiles Christaras Iwasaki Yoshinori Claudio MargottiniThis book is one out of 8 IAEG XII Congress volumes, and deals with the preservation of cultural heritage. In 1972, the World Heritage Convention linked in a single framework the concepts of nature conservation and the preservation of cultural sites. Since then, engineering geology is enlarging its contributions to national and international projects on this topic and is extending its interests to key issues like: safeguarding of monuments and sites from geotechnical perspectives; advanced monitoring; investigations on cultural landscapes; development of geo-databases for cultural heritage classification; studies on the interactions between humankind, natural landscape evolution and cultural heritage; analysis of weathering and deterioration of rock properties of monuments; risk analysis of sites affected by natural hazards and many others. With the contributions in this book, engineering geologists, conservation scientists and further experts from other natural, social and economic sciences, as well as representatives of international organizations and national and local administrative authorities exchange their ideas and practices on culture heritage preservation by presenting both local case studies and multidisciplinary international projects.

Engineering Geology for Underground Works
by Paola Gattinoni Enrico Maria Pizzarotti Laura ScesiThe construction of tunnels involves the resolution of various complex technical problems depending on the geological and geological-environmental context in which the work fits. Only a careful analysis of all the geological and geological-environmental issues and a correct reconstruction of the conceptual model can lead to optimal design solutions from all points of view (including financial) and ensure the safety of workers during the construction and users in the operation phase. It was therefore felt that there was a need to collect in one volume the state of current knowledge about: all the geological and environmental issues related to the construction of underground works the different methodologies used for the reconstruction of the conceptual model the different risk typologies that it is possible to encounter or that can arise from tunnel construction, and the most important risk assessment, management and mitigation methodologies that are used in tunneling studies.

by P.J.N.PELLSThis book brings together in one place as much factual data as possible relating to the engineering geology of the Sydney Region, A huge amount of information resides in the files of various consulting and government organizations from the innumerable site investigations and construction projects in Sydney. This information brought together provides a data source that is the first point of reference for future investigations and construction projects.With the above object in mind subject headings were established based on the stratigraphic sequence of the Sydney Basin. Invitations were extended to potential authors with expertise and experience in these subjects and after some two years, the papers in this volume were produced. Engineering Geology of the Sydney Region is produced by a committee. As such it has the advantage of canvassing a broad range of opinion and experience. A data source has been produced for geotechnical engineers and engineering geologists working in or having a particular interest in the Sydney Region.
Engineering Geophysics
by Anna Bondo Medhus Lone KlinkbyEngineering Geophysics connects onshore geotechnical engineering challenges to the geophysical methods that may be applied to solve them. Unknown geological conditions are a risk in construction projects, and geophysical information can help to identify those risks. The book answers questions on how, why, and when the individual and combined methods provide the results requested. Flowcharts guide the reader to geophysical methods that can be applied for various engineering challenges, and the solutions are illustrated with practical case histories. The book is intended mainly for geotechnical engineers and geologists but also for geophysicists or managers in need of an overview or brushup on geophysical methods and their practical applications. In addition, it can be used by educational institutions in courses both for geotechnical engineers and geologists.

Engineering Granular Microbiomes: Bacterial Resource Management for Nutrient Removal in Aerobic Granular Sludge Wastewater Treatment Systems (Springer Theses)
by David Gregory WeissbrodtThis book reports on the ecological engineering of granular sludge processes for a high-rate removal of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus nutrients in compact wastewater treatment plants. It provides novel insights into microorganisms and metabolisms in wastewater microbiomes and the use of microbial ecology principles to manage wastewater treatment processes. It covers a very comprehensive and inter-disciplinary research of systems microbiology and environmental biotechnology. From the initial economic assessment of the aerobic granular sludge technology, concepts of microbiome science and engineering are developed to uncover and manage the microbial ecosystem of granular sludge. Mixed-culture biotechnological processes, multifactorial experimental designs, laser scanning microscopy, molecular microbial ecology and bioinformatics methods, numerical ecology workflows, and mathematical modelling are engaged to disentangle granulation phenomena, microbial selection, and nutrient conversions across scales. The findings are assembled in a guideline for microbial resource management in granular sludge processes to support knowledge utilization in engineering practice. Outputs are integrated in the state of the art of biological wastewater treatment. This book addresses both scientists and engineers who are eager to get insights into and engineer microbiomes for environmental biotechnologies. It makes a valuable contribution to methods for strengthening the role of wastewater treatment plants for recovering safe water and resources, in the context of circular economy and for sustaining health and the environment in an ecologically balanced society.
Engineering Graphics
by Aleksandr Yurievich BrailovThis professionaltreatise on engineering graphics emphasizes engineering geometry as thetheoretical foundation for communication of design ideas with real worldstructures and products. It considers each theoretical notion of engineeringgeometry as a complex solution of direct- and inverse-problems of descriptivegeometry and each solution of basic engineering problems presented isaccompanied by construction of biunique two- and three-dimension models ofgeometrical images. The book explains the universal structure of formalalgorithms of the solutions of positional, metric, and axonometric problems, aswell as the solutions of problems of construction in developing a curvilinearsurface. The book further characterizes and explains the added laws ofprojective connections to facilitate construction of geometrical images in anyof eight octants. Laws of projective connections allow constructing the complexdrawing of a geometrical image in the American system of measurement and theEuropean system of measurement without errors and mistakes. The arrangement ofprojections of a geometrical image on the complex drawing corresponds to anarrangement of views of a product in the projective drawing for the Europeansystem of measurement. The volume is ideal for engineers working on a range ofdesign projects as well as for students of civil, structural, and industrialengineering and engineering design.
