An incorporated geophysical and geotechnical evaluation of risks around the Abu Serga church

Book Announcement

Bentham Science Publishers

The book An Integrated Geophysical and Geotechnical Assessment of Hazards Around The Abu Serga Church is of interest to practical geotechnical engineers and experts in the Conservation Engineering of the architectural heritage or built heritage. It discusses some contemporary issues related to advanced geotechnical and geophysical techniques in preservation projects which are critical components in conservation planning and management of built heritage and often require detailed management techniques and unique solution methods to address failures and remedial measures. The geotechnical engineering community continues to find improved testing techniques for determining sensitive properties of bearing soils and structures, including stress-wave based non-destructive testing methods and techniques. Also to improve the foundation retrofitting intervention; the design and implementation. To minimize failure during conservation and preservation projects. Contemporary issues and data may reveal useful lessons and information to improve restoration project construction management and minimize economic losses. This book discusses these aspects using appropriate methods in a simple way.

This book discusses many interesting topics in Geophysical and geotechnical engineering like, Modern Geotechnical Practice, Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering, Principals and Practice in Foundation Design, and 3 D Modeling in Geomechanics, Geotechnical investigation for Preservation of Historical Buildings and Archaeological Sites.

This book brings together a small collection of chapters but covering Geotechnical problems and solutions from a broadest to a narrowest sense.
