Foundations on Rock Engineering Practice Second Edition

Foundations on Rock Engineering Practice Second Edition

This second edition of the successful Foundations on Rock presents an up-to-date practical reference book describing current engineering practice in the investigation design and construction of foundations on rock. An extra chapter on Tension Foundations has been included. The methods set out are readily applicable to high rise buildings bridges dams and structures subject to uplift and turning loads. Foundations on Rock differs from the many texts and handbooks on soil foundations in that it focuses on the effect of geology on the stability and settlement of rock foundations. While the intact rock may be strong defects in the rock such as faults joints and cavities and the deterioration of the rock with time will have a significant effect on foundation performance. Methods of detecting such defects are described and their implications for foundation design and treatment are elaborated. | Foundations on Rock Engineering Practice Second Edition

Piles and Pile Foundations

Piles and Pile Foundations

Piled foundations are generally designed using empirical methods in particular the traditional capacity based approach on which the majority of codes of practice are based. However in recent years the analysis of pile groups and piled rafts has undergone substantial development in the light of new research and the mechanisms for the interactions between piles soil and rafts or caps have been largely clarified. Paradoxically with relatively large piled rafts it has been found that a design based on the criterion of serviceability with the limitation of absolute and/or differential settlement not only allows a more rational and economical design but is also simpler and more reliable than one based on the traditional approach. This book provides an overview of present design practice of piled foundations under both vertical and horizontal loads and then a presentation of recent advances in the analysis and design of piled rafts. Altogether it forms a thorough guide to the design and analysis of efficient and effective piled rafts and it also serves as a useful design handbook for traditional pile foundations. | Piles and Pile Foundations

The Foundations of Psychoanalytic Theories Project for a Scientific Enough Psychoanalysis

The Foundations of Psychoanalytic Theories Project for a Scientific Enough Psychoanalysis

The normal approach to the study of the foundations of psychoanalysis is to focus on Sigmund Freud's classical texts. In this book however the author approaches the issue from the perspective of the foundations of behavioural sciences in general. He studies the nature of psychological terms and explanations and the relation between neuroscien | The Foundations of Psychoanalytic Theories Project for a Scientific Enough Psychoanalysis

Quantum Mechanics Foundations and Applications

Quantum Mechanics Foundations and Applications

Progressing from the fundamentals of quantum mechanics (QM) to more complicated topics Quantum Mechanics: Foundations and Applications provides advanced undergraduate and graduate students with a comprehensive examination of many applications that pertain to modern physics and engineering. Based on courses taught by the author this textbook begins with an introductory chapter that reviews historical landmarks discusses classical theory and establishes a set of postulates. The next chapter demonstrates how to find the appropriate wave functions for a variety of physical systems in one dimension by solving the Schrödinger equation where for time-independent cases the total energy is an eigenvalue. The following chapter extends this method to three dimensions focusing on partial differential equations. In subsequent chapters the author develops the appropriate operators eigenvalues and eigenfunctions for angular momentum as well as methods for examining time-dependent systems. The final chapters address special systems of interest such as lasers quarks and hadrons. Appendices offer additional material exploring matrices functions and physical constants. Relating theory with experiment Quantum Mechanics: Foundations and Applications provides both basic and complex information for junior- and senior-level physics and engineering students. | Quantum Mechanics Foundations and Applications

Foundations of Mechanical Engineering

Foundations of Mechanical Engineering

The traditional approach to teaching mechanical engineering has been to cover either mechanics or thermofluid mechanics. In response to the growing trend toward more general modules Foundations of Mechanical Engineering provides a unified approach to teaching the basic mechanical engineering topics of mechanics the mechanics of solids and thermofluid mechanics. Each chapter provides a systematic approach to the subject matter and begins with a list of aims and concludes with a summary of the key equations introduced in that chapter. Copious worked examples illustrate the correct approach to problem solving and outline solutions for all of the end-of-chapter problems let students check their own work. The authors have judiciously minimized the mathematical content and where necessary introduce the fundamentals through diagrams and graphical representations. With complete basic coverage of both statics and dynamics the mechanics of solids fluid flow and heat transfer Foundations of Mechanical Engineering forms and ideal text for first-year mechanical engineering students.

The Foundations of Morality

The Foundations of Morality

Originally published in 1983 this book maintains that the content and character of morality can be understood if it is regarded as a useful societal tool whose central purposes include the prevention of harm and promotion of security for members of society. At the foundation is the general superiority of policies and attitudes that have good consequences. The book argues that ethics is ‘cognitive’ and explores the kinds of ethical knowledge and the ways in which ethical claims can be challenged and justified. | The Foundations of Morality
