This updated and expanded second edition textbook, describes all main aspects of soil management, to address the serious problems of soil erosion and the attendant environmental pollution. The global high demands for food, fiber, feed, and fuel put a constant strain on the environment, which can only be mitigated by soil conservation.

Free Download Remediation of Chromium-Contaminated Soil: ​Theory and Practice
English | 2023 | ISBN: 9819954622 | 483 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 81 MB
In accordance with the global needs of heavy metal-contaminated site remediation, this book systematically introduces the latest theories and technical achievements of microbial and chemical treatment for the chromium pollution in the chromium slag and chromium-contaminated soil, combined with the author’s research achievements over the decades. The book focuses on the biological and chemical behavior of chromium in soil, microbial, and chemical remediation for the chromium-contaminated soil and the cases of chromium-contaminated site remediation project. This book is used by the scientific researchers and engineering technicians engaged in chromium chemical industry and environmental protection. It is also used as a textbook and reference book for graduate students in environmental science and engineering, soil science, chemistry and chemical engineering, and other related fields.

Free Download Soil Mechanics by R. F. Craig
English | PDF | 1983 | 430 Pages | ISBN : 0442314345 | 30.9 MB
This book is intended primarily to serve the needs of the undergraduate civil engineering student and aims at the clear explanation, in adequate depth, of the fundamental principles of soil mechanics. The understanding of these principles is considered to be an essential foundation upon which future practical experience in soils engineering can be built. The choice of material involves an element of personal opinion but the contents of this book should cover the requirements of most undergraduate courses to honours level. It is assumed that the student has no prior knowledge of the subject but has a good understanding of basic mechanics. The book includes a comprehensive range of worked examples and problems set for solution by the student to consolidate understanding of the fundamental principles and illustrate their application in simple practical situations. The International System of Units is used throughout the book. A list of references is included at the end of each chapter as an aid to the more advanced study of any particular topic. It is intended also that the book will serve as a useful source of reference for the practising engineer. In the third edition no changes have been made to the aims of the book. Except for the order of two chapters being interchanged and for minor changes in the order of material in the chapter on consolidation theory, the basic structure of the book is unaltered.

English | 2011 | pages: 304 | ISBN: 9400722397, 9400722427 | PDF | 5,6 mb
This book addresses questions of relevance to governments and industry in many countries around the world, in particular concerning the link between contaminated-land-management programs and the protection of drinking water resources and the potential effects of climate changes on the availability of these same resources. On the "problem" side, it reports and analyzes methodologies and experiences in monitoring and characterization of drinking water resources (at basin, country and continental scales), pollution prevention, assessment of background quality and of impacts on safety and public health from land and water contamination and impacts of climate change. On the "solution" side, the book presents results from national cleanup programs, recent advances in research into groundwater and soil remediation techniques, treatment technologies, research needs and information sources, land and wastewater management approaches aimed at the protection of drinking water.

Free Download Soil Mechanics: New Concept and Theory
English | 2023 | ISBN: 9819927803 | 341 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 51 MB
This book focuses on the unified solutions and analysis for the problems in soil mechanics based on the unified strength theory, which is a new theory on the yield and failure of materials under multi-axial stresses. Then, it provides a system of yield and failure criteria adopted for most materials, from metallic materials to rocks, concretes, soils, polymers, etc. It includes the Tresca criterion, Mohr-Coulomb theory, and Mises criterion as well, which are special cases or linear approximation of the UST.
