Download and read online ebook Mapping Hazardous Terrain Using Remote Sensing write by R. M. Teeuw. This book was released on 2007. Mapping Hazardous Terrain Using Remote Sensing available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The dangers that we face from geohazards appear to be getting worse, especially with the impact of increasing population and global climate change. This collection of papers illustrates how remote sensing technologies - measuring, mapping and monitoring the Earth's surface from aircraft or satellites - can help us to rapidly detect and better manage geohazards. The hazardous terrains examined include areas of landslides, flooding, erosion, contaminated land, shrink-swell clays, subsidence, seismic activity and volcanic landforms. Key aspects of remote sensing are introduced, making this a book that can easily be read by those who are unfamiliar with remote sensing. The featured remote sensing systems include aerial photography and photogrammetry, thermal scanning, hyperspectral sensors, airborne laser altimetry (LiDAR), radar interferometry and multispectral satellites (Landsat, ASTER). Related technologies and methodologies, such as the processing of Digital Elevation Models and data analysis using Geographical Information Systems, are also discussed.

Download and read online ebook Structural Mechanics and Design of Metal Pipes write by Spyros A. A. Karamanos. This book was released on 2022-12-07. Structural Mechanics and Design of Metal Pipes available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Structural Mechanics and Design of Metal Pipes: A systematic approach for onshore and offshore pipelines presents a unified and systematic approach to understanding and analyzing the structural behavior of onshore and offshore metallic pipelines. Following an overview of pipeline engineering and pipe fabrication, the mechanics of elastic rings and cylinders is presented as a prelude to structural performance of metal pipes under various loading conditions, which involve pressure and structural loads. The book also discusses special topics, such as geohazards and strain-based design, large-diameter water pipelines, global buckling and mechanically-lined pipes, and outlines approaches for developing state-of-the-art finite element models. In all topics addressed in this book, the mechanical behavior of pipes is related with specific design methods for onshore and offshore pipelines. Reflects the author’s 30-year experience in structural mechanics of pipes and tubulars Describes the structural performance of onshore and offshore pipelines Addresses key features of pipe mechanics to both practicing engineers and researchers Covers a wide spectrum of pipe behavior from the pipe mill to service conditions Presents the background of structural design provisions in major pipeline standards
