Desde la Antigüedad, las redes de alcantarillado han cumplido la función de evacuar las aguas de las ciudades, tanto las provenientes de las precipitaciones atmosféricas como las residuales generadas por actividades humanas.
Colombia está ubicada en una zona geológicamente compleja y con la confluencia de tres placas tectónicas, razones por las cuales se presenta un alto riesgo por actividad sísmica.
Con el animo de contribuir a tener un enfoque integral sobre los problemas de socavacion que afectan puentes situados en cauces aluviales, se publico un primer libro titulado Socavacion en Puentes.
Los puentes son obras esenciales en la infraestructura vial destinadas a salvar obstáculos naturales -ríos, valles, lagos, cañones o brazos de mar- y artificiales -vías férreas y carreteras- para así unir caminos de viajeros y hacer posible el transporte de animales y mercancías.
Mejorar la calidad de vida de la poblacion colombiana implica indiscutiblemente que ello se lleve a cabo en gran parte de las zonas rurales, donde las condiciones en materia de vivienda e infraestructura de comunicacion estan aun por intervenir.
El presente documento inicia con el avance, a nivel mundial, del conocimiento de las constantes elasticas del bambu y particularmente de la guadua en latinoamerica.
En el presente manual se especifican los requisitos mínimos y las pautas que se deben tener en cuenta para la construcción de puentes peatonales modulares en Guadua angustifolia Kunth.
Compiled by AECOM, the 2025 edition has been updated with the latest pricing information to help you manage your projects over the next 12 months through this challenging period of high inflation and financial uncertainty.
This book presents state-of-the-art information on seismic ground response analysis, and is not only very valuable and useful for practitioners but also for researchers.
This handy reference manual puts a wealth of ready-to-use information, data, and practical procedures within immediate reach of geo-engineers and technicians, whether they be in the field or office.
This book contains the lectures given in the International Course "e;Improving efficiency and reliability in water supply systems"e;, hosted and sponsored by the Menendez Pelayo International University (U.
Environmental Hydrology presents a unified approach to the role of hydrology in environmental planning and management, emphasizing the consideration of the hydrological continuum in determining the fate and migration of chemicals as well as micro-organisms in the environment, both below the ground as well as on it.
Since the pioneering work of Shannon in the late 1940's on the development of the theory of entropy and the landmark contributions of Jaynes a decade later leading to the development of the principle of maximum entropy (POME), the concept of entropy has been increasingly applied in a wide spectrum of areas, including chemistry, electronics and communications engineering, data acquisition and storage and retreival, data monitoring network design, ecology, economics, environmental engineering, earth sciences, fluid mechanics, genetics, geology, geomorphology, geophysics, geotechnical engineering, hydraulics, hydrology, image processing, management sciences, operations research, pattern recognition and identification, photogrammetry, psychology, physics and quantum mechanics, reliability analysis, reservoir engineering, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, topology, transportation engineering, turbulence modeling, and so on.
Triggerd primarily byill effects of polluted air, soil and water resources on living species, public concern for environmental quality has been growing during the past four decades or so.
Under the auspices of the Tsunami Commission of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics and the International Coordination Group of the International Oceanographic Commission, the IUGGIIOC International Tsunami Symposium, TSUNAMI '93 (Sixteenth International Tsunami Symposium) was held in Wakayama, Olle of the most historical areas in the prevention of tsunami disasters in Japan, from 23 to 27 August, 1993 by the Organizing Committee of the Japan Society of Ovil Engineers, in commemoration of the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction.
The 16 contributions to Geographical Information Systems in Assessing Natural Hazards report on GIS investigations into landslides, floods, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and groundwater pollution hazards.
A wide variety of problems are associated with the flow of shallow water, such as atmospheric flows, tides, storm surges, river and coastal flows, lake flows, tsunamis.
Although Rock Mechanics addresses many of the rock mechanics issues which arise in underground mining engineering, it is not a text exclusively for mining applications.
It is with great pleasure and satisfaction that we introduce this volume which comprises the papers accepted for the 4th International Conference on Hydrocyclones held in Southampton from 23rd to 25th September 1992.
The Upper Adriatic Sea basin comprises a very precarious coastal environment subject to continuous changes which prove appreciable not only over the geological scale but also in historical and modern times.
Supply of sufficient clean drinking water is often taken for granted, but it requires a considerable technical and financial effort to ensure reliable and economic water supply.
In November, 1986, the Institution of Mining and Metallurgy held the 'Mining Latin AmericalMineria Latinoamericana' conference in Chile - a conference covering a broad range of topics relevant to South America and, in that sense, complementary to its regional 'Asian Mining' and 'African Mining' series of events.
