Two civil engineering operations require particular attention when soil corrosion tests in the field are required. These are (1) the use of reinforced earth structures in which the corrosion conditions will differ from those at... 

Inertial sensors are useful devices in both science and industry. Higher precision sensors could find practical scientific applications in the areas of general relativity (Chow et ah, 1985), geodesy and geology. Important applications of such devices occur also in the field of navigation, surveying and analysis of earth structures. Matter-wave interferometry has recently shown its potential to be an extremely sensitive probe for inertial forces (Clauser, 1988). First, neutron interferometers have been used to measure the Earth rotation (Colella et ah, 1975) and the acceleration due to gravity (Werner et ah, 1979) in the end of the seventies. In 1991, atom interference techniques have been used in... 

Composite materials have been acclaimed as the Materials of the Future. A key question is whether composite materials will always remain the materials of the future or if the future is here. Advanced polymer composites, once destined for stealth military aircraft or aerospace uses, are beginning to be used in down-to-earth structures, such as bridges, buildings, and highways. However, there are still considerable impediments to wider use, and composite manufacturers need to make great strides in the development and manufacturing of composite materials.

The structure of La203 [Section 5.5.10, 3 5/3POPPO(h), Figure 5.64) is known as the A-type M203 or A-type rare-earth structure. It is rather complex. The unit cell is hexagonal, but oxide ions are in an A, B, C sequence. La3+ ions fill two O layers with the next O layer vacant. This is a layer structure because the sequence is POP POP, but the first and sixth P layers are identical thus, five layers POP PO repeat. La has CN 7 the seventh oxide ion is from the next POP sandwich.

Three principal types of structure are noted for the rare earth oxides designated as the A, B, and C rare earth structures. The A rare earth structure is the stable room temperature structure for the lighter rare earths from La to Nd while the C rare earth structure is the stable polymorphs for Sm through Lu. The B form is seen for several oxides at intermediate temperatures and/or high pressures. All polymorphic forms have been observed for several of the rare earths. Other... 

Lee (1974) developed a more rigorous method of estimating the permanent deformations experienced by earth structures during a dynamic loading. This method followed the basic Seed approach for calculating the F.S. and strain potential for individual elements (Seed, 1966). Differences between the two methods depend on procedures used to calculate deformations from the strain potential values.

Measures to control rockfall include catch fences, benches, wire mesh and rock traps. Restraining structures control landslides by increasing the resistance to movement. They include, for example, retaining walls, reinforced earth structures, shotcrete, cribs, gabions, buttresses, piling, dowels, rock bolts and rock anchors (see Chapter 9). The following minimum information is required to determine the type and size of a restraining structure ...
