Towards a Unified Soil Mechanics Theory: The Use of Effective Stresses in Unsaturated Soils
Sep 2013
Book
With the application of the effective stress concept the strength and volumetric behavior of saturated materials was clearly understood. For the case of unsaturated materials a universally accepted effective stresses equation is still under debate. However the use of the effective stress concept to develop constitutive models for unsaturated soils is becoming increasingly popular not only because the hydro-mechanical coupling observed in these mat Read More

Mar 2013
Book
Christian Rixen and
Antonio Rolando
This e-book reviews environmental impacts of ski tourism in mountain environments. Specifically the book addresses skiing impacts on soils vegetation vertebrate and invertebrate animals living in such habitats. Additional chapters also explain the methods for the restoration of disturbed sites at high altitude and snow cover in a changing climate.The e-book is therefore a compilation on the latest knowledge on environmental impacts of skiing and is int Read More
Separating Pro-Environment Technologies for Waste Treatment, Soil and Sediments Remediation
Nov 2012
Book
Vincenzo Gente and
Floriana La Marca
The removal of contaminants and pollutants from natural or valuable materials is a critical issue in environmental management and conservation. Fundamentally the procedure consists of measures employed to separate what is good (recyclable materials soil and sediments) from what is bad (non recyclable materials contaminants).A perspective of current technologies developed for mineral processing is of great assistance for finding appro Read More
