This Publication is an outgrowth of the Proceedings for the Geotechnical Symposium in Roma, also known as Tatsuoka Symposium, which was held on March 16 and 17, 2006 in th Rome, Italy. The Symposium was organized to celebrate the 60 birthday of Prof. Tatsuoka. The occasion also provided a chance to honor Prof. Tatsuoka for his research achievement. Prof. Tatsuoka collaborated with many international researchers, and thus the most beautiful and historical city of Rome naturally became an ideal location for his friends, colleagues and former students from different parts of the world to meet and celebrate this special occasion. The generosity of the University of Rome La Sapienza directed all roads to Rome by providing the venue for the Symposium. Prof. Tatsuoka retired from the University of Tokyo at the end of March 2004 following a 30-year distinguished career in teaching, research and professional service. During his tenure at the University of Tokyo, he published over 300 papers and graduated about 30 PhD and 25 MS students. Prof. Tatsuoka continues his research and teaching at the Tokyo University of Science. Thus, the Symposium also congratulated his new endeavor."

Erosion is the most common cause of failures at earth-dams, dikes and levees, whether through overtopping and overflowing, or internal erosion and piping. This book is dedicated to the phenomenon of internal erosion and piping. It is not intended to be exhaustive on the subject, but brings together some of the latest international research and advances. Emphasis is placed on physical processes, how they can be studied in the laboratory, and how test results can be applied to levees and dams. The results from several research projects in Australia, France, the Netherlands and the United States are covered by the authors. Our aim has been to share our most recent findings with students, researchers and practitioners. Understanding the failure of an earth-dam or a levee by erosion in a unified framework, whether internal erosion or surface erosion, requires continuous research in this field. We hope that the reader will gain knowledge from this book that leads to further progress in the challenging field of the safety of levees and dams.

Surveying: Principles and Applications 9th Edition is the clearest, easiest to understand, and most useful introduction to surveying as it is practiced today. It brings together expert coverage of surveying principles, remote sensing and other new advances in technological instrumentation, and modern applications for everything from mapping to engineering. Designed for maximum simplicity, it also covers sophisticated topics typically discussed in advanced surveying courses. This edition has been reorganized and streamlined to align tightly with current surveying practice, and to teach more rapidly and efficiently. It adds broader and more valuable coverage of aerial, space and ground imaging, GIS, land surveying, and other key topics. An extensive set of appendices makes it a useful reference for students entering the workplace.

Now updated for SPSS Statistics Version 18, Doing Data Analysis with SPSS is an excellent supplement to any introductory statistics course. It provides a practical and useful introduction to SPSS and enables students to work independently to learn helpful software skills outside of class. By using SPSS to handle complex computations, students can focus on and gain an understanding of the underlying statistical concepts and techniques in the introductory statistics course.

The comprehensive reference on the basics of structural analysis and design, now updated with the latest considerations of building technology. Structural design is an essential element of the building process, yet one of the most difficult to learn. While structural engineers do the detailed consulting work for a building project, architects need to know enough structural theory and analysis to design a building. Most texts on structures for architects focus narrowly on the mathematical analysis of isolated structural components, yet Building Structures looks at the general concepts with selected computations to understand the role of the structure as a building subsystem—without the complicated mathematics. New to this edition is a complete discussion of the LRFD method of design, supplemented by the ASD method, in addition to: The fundamentals of structural analysis and design for architects * A glossary, exercise problems, and a companion website and instructor's manual * Material ideally suited for preparing for the ARE exam. Profusely illustrated throughout with drawings and photographs, and including new case studies, Building Structures, Third Edition is perfect for nonengineers to understand and visualize structural design.
