The interest in seismic stratigraphic techniques to interpret seismic datasets is expanding continuously. The advent of sophisticated subsurface reservoir studies and 4D monitoring, for optimizing the hydrocarbon production in existing fields, do demonstrate the importance of the 3D seismic methodology. The added value of reflection seismic has clearly been proven in the last decades and … Read more
This document is a report with worked examples summarizing the general rules, basic design principles and design methods for geotechnical design following Eurocodes. It comprises an overview of Eurocode 7 with focus on the design requirements, actions and design situations, and limit states. Different aspects to be considered for designing shallow foundations, gravity walls, embedded … Read more
Hydraulic cement concrete overlays are used as a rehabilitation technique for both existing concrete and asphalt pavements. Concrete overlays offer the potential for extended service life, increased structural capacity, reduced maintenance requirements, and lower life-cycle costs when compared with hot-mix asphalt overlay alternatives. Concrete overlays have been used to rehabilitate existing concrete pavements since 1913 … Read more
Standards are very important as far as engineering is concerned. Whatever we do, whatever we perform we follow a standard or we try our level best to meet that standard in order to ensure quality and optimum level of success in economy and level of comfort. In civil engineering same is the case, whether it … Read more
