Introduction to Process GeomorphologyVijay K. SharmaKurukshetra University (retired), India

An introduction to the dynamics of internal geologic processes of the earth, thisbook explains the origin of landforms by the processes involved in their evolution.The author expresses process activities in mathematical, empirical, and semi-empir-ical perspectives to highlight their distinctive identity in specific environmentalstress conditions. Each chapter reviews, synthesizes, and provides recent findingsand understanding of the complexity of geomorphic processes.

Single Piles and Pile Groups Under Lateral LoadingSecond Edition

This book presents procedures for designing the piles and pile groups; a problemthat can only be solved by accounting for the soil resistance as related to the lateraldeflection of the pile. This book guides the designer into finding the critical loads,either causing a pile to be overloaded or causing too much lateral deflection.Complex equations are derived and explained, and computer programs are used tosolve the equations. Simplified versions of the two required programs are presentedon a CD-ROM, allowing the reader to check the solution of some of the examplesgiven in the book and to find answers to related problems.

GeologyBasics for EngineersAurele ParriauxFederal Institute of Technology (EPFL), Lausanne, Switzerland

Important scientific questions related to human activities can be more easilyresolved with a basic scientific understanding of our planet. This is because multipleprocesses at and beneath the Earth’s surface affect our environment. Geology:Basics for Engineers presents the physical and chemical characteristics of the Earth,the nature and the properties of rocks and unconsolidated deposits/sediments, theaction of water, how the earth is transformed by various phenomena at differentscales of time and space.
