Development and use of polymeric materials in the form of geosynthetics and fibres as a new class of construction materials have revolutionized the infrastructure and the environmental protection works in the construction industry during the past three to four decades. Geosynthetics are available in a wide range of compositions appropriate to different applications and environments.
Polymeric materials, particularly in the form of geosynthetics and fibres, have brought a transform‑ative impact on construction, revolutionizing ground infrastructure and environmental protection over the past few decades. With their diverse compositions, geosynthetics provide sustainable, efficient, cost‑effective, eco‑friendly, and energy‑saving solutions to a wide range of challenges. Their proper use enhances durability, reduces resource consumption, and minimizes environmental impact.
Groundwater is one of the most important renewable resources of the Earth and it occurs in many sites. Water in the form of rainfall and river or stream water penetrates the ground and moves through the pores of soils, rocks, and rock fractures and joints which are permeable enough to transmit water through them.
This work is based on a series of lectures given to graduate students both at the University of Illinois, Chicago Circle in the United States, and at Oxford University in England. It is intended to provide a framework for such a course given primarily to graduate students in applied mathematics, as well as to be a useful supplementary text for students of oceanography, meteorology and engineering.
Soil mechanics is the science of equilibrium and motion of soil bodies. Here soil is understood to be the weathered material in the upper layers of the earth’s crust. The non-weathered material in this crust is denoted as rock, and its mechanics is the discipline of rock mechanics. In general the difference between soil and rock is roughly that in soils it is possible to dig a trench with simple tools such as a spade or even by hand.
This book provides a detailed description of how Python can be used to give insight into the flow of groundwater based on analytic solutions. Starting with simple problems to illustrate the basic principles, complexity is added step by step to show how one-dimensional and twodimensional models of one or two aquifers can be implemented. Steady and transient flow problems are discussed in confined, semi-confined, and unconfined aquifers that may include wells, rivers, and areal recharge. Special consideration is given to coastal aquifers, including the effect of tides and the simulation of interface flow.
Application of Python allows for compact and readable code, and quick visualization of the solutions. Python scripts are provided to reproduce all results. The scripts are also available online so that they can be altered to meet site-specific conditions. This book is intended both as training material for the next generation of university students and as a useful resource for practitioners. A primer is included for those who are new to Python or as a refresher for existing users.
Книга является руководством пользователя по работе с многофункциональным программным комплексом ANSDIMAT, ориентированным на интерпретацию опытно-фильтрационных опробований и получение фильтрационных характеристик водоносных пластов. В книге подробно изложены все возможности программного комплекса, предложены удобные алгоритмы ввода данных и обработки исходной информации, описаны условия проведения полевых экспериментов и типовые гидрогеологические схемы, реализованные в комплексе. Большое место уделено математическому аппарату, зашитому в компьютерный код программы. Содержится полезная справочная информация о расчетных схемах, аналитических решениях и способах обработки. Книга предназначена для пользователей программным комплексом ANSDIMAT, а также для гидрогеологов, занимающихся вопросами изучения, обработки и интерпретации данных опытно-фильтрационных опробований аналитическими и численными методами.
The application of dynamic testing based on the wave equation theory was first introduced in Brazil in 198 1. Differently from other countries, its first application was on offshore piling. At that time, a great number of jacket type platforms began to be installed in the country by the Brazilian Oil Company, in waters with depths varying from 50 to 250 meters.
Hydrogeology is now considered to be a core course in the curriculum of undergraduate geology programs as well as many fields of engineering. There is ongoing demand for persons with training in hydrogeology by consulting organizations, state and federal regulatory agencies, and industrial firms. Most of the employment in hydrogeology is in the environmental area. This is a book that will help prepare students for either a career in hydrogeology or in other areas of environmental science and engineering where a strong background in hydrogeology is needed. <...>
