L'édition de cet ISBN n'est malheureusement plus disponible.
Synopsis
Soils and Waves covers very modern and up-to-date mechanics, combined with contemporary techniques for non-destructive research of granular materials comparable with geotechnical methods such as ground penetrating radar, and even non-invasive medical procedures such as magnetic resonance scanning and x-ray. With this new edition Santamarina offers a logically organized, concise text that enables the reader to understand the concepts of a wide range of topics. Emphasis is placed on clear, simple analyses and explanations of complex physical phenomena, making this book ideal for self-study. Divided into five parts, the first part concentrates on the problem of scale, the second part reviews the behavior of particulate materials, The third and fourth parts center on the propagation of mechanical and electromagnetic waves in particulate materials, and the fifth part applies elastic and electromagnetic waves to monitoring process in soils. Soils and Waves, 2nd edition is revised throughout to streamline its educational structure, and to include consideration of biological factors in every part. The author has added new material on many topics including but not limited to spatial variability, soil formation, particle shape, friction, inherent and stress induced anisotropy, thermal properties, engineering soil properties and data fusion. Tables with values for the different parameters are also added throughout.

Quatrième de couverture
J. Carlos Santamarina, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA in collaboration with Katherine A. Klein, University of Toronto, Canada; Moheb A. Fam, Cairo University, Egypt
Soils are unique materials. Analogous to all other particulate materials, their properties depend on environmental parameters, such as confinement and fluid characteristics. While their behavior is complex, simple micromechanical analyses at the particle level provide unparalleled insight. Furthermore, elastic and electromagnetic waves can be effectively used to gain complementary information about the particulate medium, leading to unique possibilities for studies in engineering and science, including field applications for site assessment and process monitoring.
This book is divided into five parts. The first part dwells on the problem of scale and includes a general introduction to materials. In the second part, the behavior of particulate materials is reviewed, with emphasis on the microscale interpretation of macroscale behavior. Fundamental differences between fine and coarse particulate materials are highlighted. The third and fourth parts center on the propagation of mechanical and electromagnetic waves in particulate materials, addressing phenomena such as stiffness, polarization and losses. These two units include laboratory techniques to measure the elastic and electromagnetic spectral response of particulate materials, and an extensive compilation of experimental data. Finally, the fifth part applies elastic and electromagnetic waves to monitoring process in soils.
Emphasis is placed on clear, simple analyses and explanations of complex physical phenomena, making this book ideal for self–study. Furthermore, no other book provides such an in–depth description of soils and their behavior and the interaction of elastic and electromagnetic waves and particulate materials (including material data and experimental methods). Thus, this is an invaluable reference for postgraduates, research scientists and practitioners in geotechnical, civil and environmental engineering, as well as scientists in related areas such as physics, geophysics and materials science.
