The processes of structure formation as well as the development of physical, seepage and mechanical properties of clay sediments in the course of lithogenesis are scrutinized on the bases of facial analysis.

A study of tiebacks in foundation engineering and construction. Discusses the decisions that go into choosing a tieback, such as the level of corrosion protection required, and describes how soil conditions affect anchor design and construction.

Focusing in particular on advances in accident analysis and collision avoidance, this text gives analysis of how the planning, design and construction of bridges can help to prevent waterway mishaps.

A study of the behaviour of gold in sedimentary, magnetic and postmagnetic processes, describing 40 gold-bearing minerals, including 10 recently discovered ones.

This is a reprint of one of the first comprehensive handbooks on soil mechanics, first published in 1940. It was also one of the first to deal with the specific problems of the Low Countries.

This work provides a guide to current research in barnacle evolution. Topics covered include: chemical signals in barnacles; larval settlement; naupliar evidence for cirripede taxonomy and phylogeny; and South American patterns of barnacle distribution.
