    The Analysis and Design of Soil and Rock Excavation focuses on geotechnical site investigation, design philosophy, and planning for safe and stable structures. The title includes real-world case studies to help the reader overcome specific geotechnical challenges. Six chapters cover a general introduction to excavated structures, detail the numerical study of deep excavation, consider adjacent excavation and interference, describe earth pressure on retaining walls, and provide a case study of sub-surface excavation in rock. The title addresses detailed design and construction, paying attention to issues such as systematic investigation, contract consideration, and how to implement surface and sub-surface structures associated with deep excavation.

  • Thermal Analysis of Textiles and Fibers

    • 1st Edition
    • Michael Jaffe + 1 more
    • English
    Thermal Analysis of Textiles and Fibers offers systematic and comprehensive coverage of the subject, from the principles of fiber structure and established TA methods, to advanced TA techniques and their application to high-performance fibers and textiles. Thermal analysis is a convenient method for assessing fiber and fabric performance as monitored under end-use relevant conditions. Expertise in this field requires knowledge of both TA methods and of fiber behavior, information that is brought together in this new volume. In recent years, thermal analysis has been applied to a variety of novel and high-performance fibers, such as Kevlar, Vectran, PBI, polyolefins, polypropylene, PAN and PVA, amongst others. TA techniques are also used in fiber identification, characterization and stability testing and may be combined with spectroscopic techniques to yield still more information about fiber properties.

    • English
    Emission and Control of Trace Elements from Coal-Derived Gas Streams presents an up-to-date and focused analysis on Trace element (TEs) emissions and control strategies during coal utilization. This book provides insights into how TE’s in coal are distributed from different coal-forming periods, coal ranks and coal-bearing regions. As the emission and control of TEs during coal utilization are a significant concern, this book introduces TEs in coal and pollution in an accessible way before discussing why they occur and how they are distributed during various stages of coal forming, also considering various regions and countries. Specific types of TEs in relation to partition in coal combustion, coal fires, gasification and coal feed furnace are then analyzed, providing the reader with practical knowledge to apply to their own research or projects. This book is an essential reference for energy engineers researching and working in coal technology, with a specific focus on emission control, as well as graduate students and researchers in energy engineering, environmental, thermal and chemical engineering who have an interest in trace element emission and control from coal utilization.
