tailieunhanh - Geological and Geotechnical Engineering in the New Millennium: Opportunities for Research and Technological Innovation

The charge to this committee—to envision the future of geotechnology— is at once a grand challenge and a problem. In many ways, geotechnology is a mature field having come to its majority in the last 50 years. Many serious problems have been solved. We know how to build strong foundations, safe dams, and stable roads and tunnels. We have a good understanding about the behavior and protection of groundwater, how to extract the petroleum resources, and develop a geothermal field. We understand quite a bit about the soil conditions that lead to liquefaction during an earthquake or make landslides likely. If there is a major problem, it is that the. | Geological and Geotechnical Engineering in the New Millennium Opportunities for Research and Committee on Geological and Geotechnical Engineering in the New Millennium Opportunities for Research and Technological Innovation Committee on Geological and Geotechnical Engineering National Research Council ISBN 0-309-65331-2 222 pages 7 x 10 2006 This free PDF was downloaded from http catalog Visit the National Academies Press online the authoritative source for all books from the National Academy of Sciences the National Academy of Engineering the Institute of Medicine and the National Research Council Download hundreds of free books in PDF Read thousands of books online free Sign up to be notified when new books are published Purchase printed books Purchase PDFs Explore with our innovative research tools Thank you for downloading this free PDF.
