Soil Settlement and the Concept of Effective Stress and Shear Strength Interaction

Soil Settlement and the Concept of Effective Stress and Shear Strength Interaction

This book is about the principal concept of soil mechanics that become the basis in explaining the soil mechanical behaviours. It is the extended concept of effective stress of Terzaghi and it is known as the concept of effective stress and shear strength interaction. This new concept incorporates the role of mobilised shear strength developed within the soil body in resisting the compressive effect. Based on this new concept a comprehensive soil volume change framework has been developed known as Rotational Multiple Yield Surface Framework (RMYSF). This RMYSF is able to explain and quantify the puzzled and complex soil volume change behaviours. The main advantage of this RMYSF is that it is able to make a good prediction of soil and rock stress-strain responses at any effective stress. This will lead to accurate prediction of soil and rock settlements. Due to its simplicity and the comprehensive nature of this new fundamental concept in soil and rock mechanics it will eventually be included in soil and rock mechanics syllabus for undergraduate and postgraduate courses. This book would be very useful for geotechnical engineers dealing with soil settlement underground excavation computer modelling rock mechanics road engineering earth and rock dam engineering and tunnel engineering. | Soil Settlement and the Concept of Effective Stress and Shear Strength Interaction

Effectiveness of Surge Flow Irrigation in Egypt Water Use Efficiency in Field Crop Production

Effectiveness of Surge Flow Irrigation in Egypt Water Use Efficiency in Field Crop Production

Egypt is a country of tremendous land resources but limited water resources The area of cultivated land is only 3. 2 per cent of the gross area. The river Nile is the main sources of water. In the recent years the Governement established large-scale agricultural projects in light of food security related to the population growth. Expansion of irrigated agriculture has to be predomantly relalized bt increasing the water use efficiency. In Egypt the dominant irrigation method is surface irrigation which covers approximately 83 per cent of the irrigated areas. Surface irrigation or gravity methods are generally characterized by a low efficiency. One opportunity to increase the efficiency is to convert surface irrigation to modern irrigation systems which are generaly highly expensive for a country like Egypt. Another option to increase the efficiency of surface irrigation systems is to convert the traditional irrigation method based on continuous flow to surge flow irrigation. Surge flow irrigation is the intermittent application of water to furrows in a series of relatively short on and off time periods. | Effectiveness of Surge Flow Irrigation in Egypt Water Use Efficiency in Field Crop Production

Compressible Flow with Applications to Engines Shocks and Nozzles

Compressible Flow with Applications to Engines Shocks and Nozzles

Compressible Flow with Application to Shocks and Propulsion is part of the series Mathematics and Physics for Science and Technology which combines rigorous mathematics with general physical principles to model practical engineering systems with a detailed derivation and interpretation of results. Volume V presents the mathematical theory of partial differential equations and methods of solution satisfying initial and boundary conditions and includes applications to: acoustic elastic water electromagnetic and other waves; the diffusion of heat mass and electricity; and their interactions. This is the second book of the volume. The first book of volume V starts with the classification of partial differential equations and proceeds with similarity methods that apply in general to linear equations with constant coefficients and all derivatives of the same order such as the Laplace and Biharmonic equations without and with forcing. The similarity solutions are also applied to Burger's non-linear diffusion equation. First-order linear and quasi-linear partial differential equations with variable coefficients are considered with application to the representation of conservative/non-conservative solenoidal/rotational and Beltrami/helical vector fields by one two or three scalar and/or one vector potential in relation with exact inexact and non-integrable differentials. The latter appear in the first and second principles of thermodynamics that specify the constitutive and diffusive properties of matter as concerns thermal mechanical elastic flow electrical magnetic and chemical phenomena and their interactions. The book is intended for graduate students and engineers working with mathematical models and can be applied to problems in mechanical aerospace electrical and other branches of engineering dealing with advanced technology and also in the physical sciences and applied mathematics.
