Bøger i Springer Environmental Science and Engineering serien

Spanning geological engineering, geotechnical engineering and tunnel engineering, this book covers soft soil deformation characteristics and dynamic responses induced by subway vibration load. Includes mechanism of deformation, microstructure failure and more.

This book contains papers presented at the 6th Global Workshop on Digital SoilMapping, held 11-14 November 2014 at the Institute of Soil Science, ChineseAcademy of Sciences of Nanjing, China.

Health monitoring of civil structures (HMS) is a new discipline, which contributes to successful and on time detection of damages to structures.

Through numerous color figures and tables, this book presents the most up-to-date knowledge on climate and environmental change in China. It documents the evidence and attribution of climate and environmental changes in the past few decades and discusses the impacts of climate change on environments, economy, and society.

This book investigates geological CO2 storage and its role in greenhouse gas emissions reduction, enhanced oil recovery, and environmentally responsible use of fossil fuels.

The book will be of use to policy makers, city planners, practitioners and academics who are starting to project what modern cities would need to do in terms of energy efficiency, mobility, planning and design of habitat and infrastructure and adapting to climate change.

This book has following unique features that distinguish it from other works from the same area: 1) Investigates the influence of fissure geometry on strength failure and crack evolution behaviour of real rock material;

This volume presents a state-of-the-art assessment of the Earth's climate system in Siberia and relationships between climate, ecosystems and people in that region.

"Wetland Restoration: Shanghai Dalian Lake Project" introduces the whole Shanghai DaLian wetland restoration project, including the background investigation of the wetland, the overall planning of wetland restoration, its detailed design, engineering construction and engineering effects.

This book develops an emergy accounting model and illustrates how emergy analysis can be used to compare different systems at different scales, ranging from urban areas to nationwide. It features a case study of China's Macao special administrative region.

Titled Sustainable Land Use and Rural Development in Mountainous Areas in Southeast Asia, or the Uplands Program, the project aims to contribute through agricultural research to the conservation of natural resources and the improvement of living conditions of the rural population in the mountainous regions of Southeast Asia.

This book's engineering approach to identifying causes of land subsidence in delta cities is based on the Biot system of equations. These advanced computational methods, used in Bangkok, will aid the compensation process in subsidence-derived damages claims.

Health monitoring of civil structures (HMS) is a new discipline, which contributes to successful and on time detection of damages to structures.

Sand control issues in wells can result from improper completion or changes in reservoir properties. Covering all aspects of the topic, this volume shows how methods such as reducing drag forces and mechanical sand bridging can reduce the problems that arise.

This book about the Mekong Delta presents a unique collection of state-of-the-art contributions by international experts from different scientific disciplines about the characteristics and pressing water-related challenges of the Mekong Delta in Vietnam.
