Bøker i Sustainable Civil Infrastructures-serien

This book publishes a number of papers that were presented at GeoMEast, Sustainable Civil Infrastructures, an international congress held in Cairo, Egypt, in November 2019.

This book contains research articles that cover a wide range of topics related to ground improvement and subsurface structures. This selection of papers represents the state of the art in the analysis and design of different techniques of the ground improvement and deep mixing techniques.

This book of the GeoMEast 2019 proceedings includes a collection of research and practical papers from an international research and technology activities on recent developments in pavement design, modeling and performance, and effects on infrastructure, green energy, technology, and integration.

This book deals with the advanced analysis of the shallow foundations. Several research studies are considered including soil plasticity, cracking, reaching the soil bearing capacity, and creep. It gives a wide range of dealing with the shallow foundations in different parts of the world.

This book brings together scientific experts in different areas that contribute to the railway track and transportation engineering challenges, evaluate the state of the art, identify the shortcomings and opportunities for research, and promote the interaction with the industry.

This book presents the collection of technical papers which includes research on two important topics in geotechnical engineering; The papers in this collection are representative of local challenges facing geotechnical engineers in the Middle East, but their contributions can also be extended to other regions of the world.

This book, about challenges in structural and bridge engineering, brings together contributions to this important area of engineering research. The book presents findings and case studies on fundamental and applied aspects of structural engineering, applied to buildings, bridges, and infrastructures, in general heritage patrimony.

Soil reinforcement is a very useful technique to construct several cost-effective soil structures in an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner. The researchers have also been working to understand the behaviour of reinforced soil considering the field challenges of reinforced soil structures.

This book focuses on the role of soil structure interaction and soil dynamics. It covers soil structure interaction under static and dynamic loads, dynamic behavior of soils, and soil liquefaction.

This book includes the best-selected papers on the latest advancements in underground structures and geological engineering.The ongoing population growth is resulting in rapid urbanization, new infrastructure development, and increasing demand for the Earth's natural resources (e.g., water, oil/gas, minerals).

With the aging transportation infrastructure and renewed emphasis on infrastructure renovation by transportation agencies, innovations are urgently needed to develop materials, designs, and practices to ensure the sustainability of transportation infrastructure.

Striving for better earthwork project management, the geotechnical engineering community continues to find improved testing techniques for determining sensitive properties of soil and rock, including stress wave-based, non-destructive testing methods.
