Outline of geotechnical site characterization report -- Index. 330 3 $aThe topic of site characterization is unique to geotechnical engineering and owes its significance directly to the variability of the natural geologic deposits on the earth's surface. Thus, soil found below the ground at any construction site is different from soil located at another site--even an adjacent site. Geotechnical site characterization methods are utilized to evaluate the properties of natural subsurface deposits, over which any structure is supported. Proper site characterization requires an understanding of various field and laboratory investigation methods. The book discusses the suitability of various methods under different site conditions and the procedures for interpreting test results to derive design parameters. Recent developments regarding specialized site characterization techniques (such as geophysical methods) and techniques suitable for specific purposes (such as seismic hazard evaluation) are also included. Three recent case histories are included, where site characterization played a key role. The three disparate cases provide a broad coverage between them, including soft natural soil under static loading, coarse and fine-grained soil under seismic impact, and hazardous waste deposits under both static and seismic loading. Site investigation requirements of building codes are discussed and guidelines for preparing a typical site characterization report are presented. A final section addresses various ethical issues that are unique to the practice of site characterization. The book is aimed at the practicing geotechnical engineer, as well as advanced undergraduate and graduate students. 410 0$aGeotechnical engineering collection.$x2376-4953 606 $aGeotechnical engineering$xDesign and construction 615 0$aGeotechnical engineering$xDesign and construction. 676 $a624.1510285 700 $aDe$b Anirban$01093450 712 02$aUnited States.$bFederal Highway Administration, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910662277303321 996 $aGeotechnical site characterization$92612451 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05810nam 2200745 450 001 9910789322203321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-78063-289-4 035 $a(CKB)3450000000003829 035 $a(EBL)1583639 035 $a(OCoLC)866858522 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000747167 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12334873 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000747167 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10703999 035 $a(PQKB)10027205 035 $a(CaSebORM)9781843346517 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1583639 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10835124 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL572509 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1583639 035 $a(PPN)232771669 035 $a(EXLCZ)993450000000003829 100 $a20140214h20122012 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aBuilding your library career with Web 2.0 /$fJulia Gross 205 $a1st edition 210 1$aOxford, England :$cChandos Publishing,$d2012. 210 4$dİ2012 215 $a1 online resource (293 p.) 225 0$aChandos information professional series 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a1-84334-651-6 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index. 327 $aCover image; Title page; Table of Contents; Copyright; List of figures and tables; Preface; Acknowledgements; About the author; Chapter 1: Web 2.0 and your library career; Abstract:; Technology and the core business of libraries; Our technological past and future; What is Web 2.0?; Why should LIS professionals be interested in Web 2.0?; What are the key features of Web 2.0 that make it useful in careers?; What are the risks and pitfalls of Web 2.0?; Web 2.0 and the workplace generally; Cornerstones of career development; Conclusion; Chapter 2: Social networking sites and your library career 327 $aAbstract:Social networking overview; What is social networking software?; What is social media?; The rise and rise of social networking; Drivers of social networking growth; What is so revolutionary about social networking software?; Why should librarians be interested in social networking?; What are the main issues or problems with social networking?; LinkedIn; Facebook; Twitter; Getting started on the social networking checklist; Conclusion; Chapter 3: Using Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter for your career; Abstract:; Facebook; LinkedIn; Twitter; Chapter 4: Personal marketing for your career 327 $aAbstract:What is marketing and why do you need to know about it?; How do you apply marketing principles to your career?; How do you start to develop a personal brand?; Personal brand self-assessment checklist; Developing a personal brand as an early-career professional; Marketing: the four Cs; Web 2.0 tools for developing a personal brand; Web 2.0 tools for eportfolios; Importance and benefits of marketing; Conclusion; Chapter 5: Privacy, social networking and your career; Abstract:; Why is privacy important?; What has changed to make online privacy an issue now? 327 $aAre there generational differences in attitudes to privacy?Who is responsible for ensuring online privacy?; What is the history of privacy erosion in the online world?; Privacy and your career; Privacy and Facebook; Privacy and Google; Digital footprint; How to monitor your digital footprint; Google Alerts; FAQs and actions for online privacy; Government agencies providing support for privacy; Tracking privacy changes on social networking sites; Conclusion; Chapter 6: Lifelong learning and your career; Abstract:; Career paths and new roles in LIS; What is lifelong learning? 327 $aLifelong learning and student graduate attributesStrategies for becoming a lifelong learner; RSS (Really Simple Syndication); RSS feed readers; Sources of RSS feeds; How to subscribe to RSS feeds; Managing your RSS feeds; Start pages; iGoogle start page; Web widgets and gadgets; Step by step: setting up iGoogle; Netvibes; Yahoo!
