Excerpt from Quantitative Analysis for Mining Engineers This small book on quantitative analysis consists entirely of a series of articles which appeared in the School of Mines Quarterly, Volume XXV. It was written primarily, to furnish the engineering students at Columbia University, particularly the mining engineers, with the directions required for their course in quantitative analysis. Also, as so many men now enter the mining course with advanced standing from other universities, colleges and schools, it seemed advisable to show in this way what we require from our mining students in quantitative work. No attempt is made to cover the entire field of inorganic analysis; but a few important analyses are given in considerable detail; the aim being to describe these analyses with enough explanation for the student to work understandingly and with an appreciation of the modern theories of chemistry. References will be found at the end of the chapters to books and articles giving additional information on the subjects treated; and the last chapter is devoted entirely to references on important analyses which are not given. in the text nor required in the course for mining engineers. In describing some well-known methods, it is not always possible to give to each chemist exactly the credit he deserves in its development, so acknowledgment is made here to all the standard books on the subject, and special references are made to the more recent journal articles. The methods as described in many cases embody the results of investigations, which have been carried out in the Havemeyer laboratories by the recent graduates in chemistry. Acknowledgment is made to this work and also to Dr. Morgan, Dr. Sherman and Dr. Jouet for helpful suggestions and corrections.

Geopressure, or pore pressure in subsurface rock formations impacts hydrocarbon resource estimation, drilling, and drilling safety in operations. This book provides a comprehensive overview of geopressure analysis bringing together rock physics, seismic technology, quantitative basin modeling and geomechanics. It provides a fundamental physical and geological basis for understanding geopressure by explaining the coupled mechanical and thermal processes. It also brings together state-of-the-art tools and technologies for analysis and detection of geopressure, along with the associated uncertainty. Prediction and detection of shallow geohazards and gas hydrates is also discussed and field examples are used to illustrate how models can be practically applied. With supplementary MATLAB® codes and exercises available online, this is an ideal resource for students, researchers and industry professionals in geoscience and petroleum engineering looking to understand and analyse subsurface formation pressure.
Rock Slope Engineering covers the investigation, design, excavation and remediation of man-made rock cuts and natural slopes, primarily for civil engineering applications. It presents design information on structural geology, shear strength of rock and ground water, including weathered rock. Slope design methods are discussed for planar, wedge, circular and toppling failures, including seismic design and numerical analysis. Information is also provided on blasting, slope stabilization, movement monitoring and civil engineering applications. This fifth edition has been extensively up-dated, with new chapters on weathered rock, including shear strength in relation to weathering grades, and seismic design of rock slopes for pseudo-static stability and Newmark displacement. It now includes the use of remote sensing techniques such as LiDAR to monitor slope movement and collect structural geology data. The chapter on numerical analysis has been revised with emphasis on civil applications. The book is written for practitioners working in the fields of transportation, energy and industrial development, and undergraduate and graduate level courses in geological engineering.
Nearly every aspect of daily life in the Mediterranean world and Europe during the florescence of the Greek and Roman cultures is relevant to engineering and technology. This text highlights the accomplishments of the ancient societies, the research problems, and stimulates further progress in the history of ancient technology.
