John Wiley & Sons Inc Fundamentals of Soil Behavior
The improved, new edition of the classic book on the physical properties of soil Fundamentals of Soil Behavior, Third Edition is the thoroughly updated, expanded, and revised edition of this highly distinguished publication in geotechnical engineering. Filled with useful tables and graphs illustrating correlations among composition, classification, state, and static and dynamic properties, this Third Edition continues the tradition of providing the latest information on the physical properties of soil and the fundamentals of its behavior over time. Students and busy professionals will connect with this new edition's timesaving, streamlined format and its greater emphasis on practical exercise problems involving advanced concepts of soil behavior. Other must-read features of this Third Edition include: New, expanded material on micro-mechanical behavior at the particulate level and its influences on engineering properties at the macro-scale A new chapter on time effects on soil deformation at different stress and strain levels New coverage of such important topics as environmental geotechnics, biological influences on soil behavior, soil fracturing, the effects of time, and geochemical problems Sets of questions and problems at the end of each chapter, a feature not available in prior editions Fundamentals of Soil Behavior, Third Edition is an essential text for graduate students and researchers as well as a peerless reference for geotechnical, environmental, and civil engineers and geologists.

Emerald Publishing Limited Wireless Sensor Networks for Civil Infrastructure Monitoring: A best practice guide
Wireless Sensor Networks for Civil Infrastructure Monitoring provides expert guidance on the selection and use of wireless sensor network (WSN) technology for structural monitoring of both existing infrastructure and new construction projects. The purpose of this guide is to consolidate a generic methodology for the design and implementation of WSNs for monitoring civil engineering infrastructure, coupled with best practice for data management and information valuation. Wireless Sensor Networks for Civil Infrastructure Monitoring: aims to address a wide range of monitoring objectives, including monitoring undertaken in support of construction work, in response to specific problems identified during inspections, long-term monitoring over the whole life of an asset and for research purposes intends to assist stakeholders in the identification of the key performance criteria for a monitoring system includes highly illustrated real-world case studies contains a detailed reference list for further reading on specific topics. Part of a series of best practice guides written by experts at the Cambridge Centre for Smart Infrastructure and Construction (CSIC), this book provides valuable information which will be useful to a range of stakeholders involved in the management of infrastructure assets.
