Jerusalem, Israel: Israel Program for Scientific Translation, 1972. Classic monograph translated from the original Russian by Prof. S.Rosenblat, presents a detailed study of the stress-strain state in multiphase, dispersive soils, including the treatment of problems in the theory of consolidation and creep in multiphase soils. Contains closed form solutions to a series of problems in which settlement, pore pressure, and lateral pressure at any instant of time during confined compression are determined; and solves some problems of the deformation of a half-space and a layer of finite thickness overlying and incompressible base. 308 pgs. Illustrated. Prior owner's name on upper edge of title page. Tiny scuff on front cover. Minimal shelfwear. No spine cracks.. First English Edition. Original Wraps. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall., Israel Program for Scientific Translation, 1972, San Francisco, CA.: Freeman, Cooper & Co., 1970. Classic comprehensive text presents the rheological approach to mechanical processes fundamental to the understanding of the behavior of earth materials, and physical processes in studies of diverse geologic features such as folds, dikes, and glacial deposits. Topics covered include flexures; patterns of faults, joints and dikes; flow of ice, lava, and debris; rheological models; stress and strain; flexure of members confined laterally; theories of elasticity, plasticity, and viscosity; theories of fracture; theory of Bingham Substance; etc. 577 pp. Illustrated.

Karst areas consist of solid but chemically soluble rock such as limestone (most important) and dolomite, but also gypsum, anhydrite and several other soluble rocks. It is characterized by underground drainage systems with sinkholes and caves. It has also been documented for weathering-resistant rocks, such as quartzite, given the right conditions. Subterranean drainage may limit surface water with few to no rivers or lakes. However, in regions where the dissolved bedrock is covered or confined by one or more superimposed non-soluble rock strata, distinctive karst surface developments might be totally missing. Karst aquifers are characterized by a network of conduits and caves formed by chemical dissolution, allowing for rapid and often turbulent water flow. Karst aquifers form by flowing water containing carbon dioxide which dissolves carbonate rocks. Therefore, there is a close relation between aquifer evolution, the formation of caves and groundwater flow. Hundreds of millions of people worldwide live in karst areas and are supplied by drinking water from karst aquifers. These aquifers include valuable freshwater resources, but are sometimes difficult to exploit and are almost always vulnerable to contamination, due to their specific hydrogeologic properties. Therefore, karst aquifers require increased protection and application of specific hydrogeologic methods for their investigation. Other problems frequently encountered in karst areas include: soil erosion and rock desertification, leakages of channels and reservoirs, collapse of underground cavities and formation of sinkholes, and flooding. Resolution of these problems requires involvement of karst hydrogeology experts. The book Hydrogeological and Environmental Investigations in Karst Systems covers the topics understanding of cave and karst related processes and facilitates the translation of current discipline-specific research to an interdisciplinary readership by dealing with specific cave or karst systems. The book addresses a multidisciplinary approach involved in anthropology, archaeology, biology, chemistry, geography, geology, geomorphology, hydrogeology, paleontology, sedimentology, and all other disciplines related to speleology and karst terrains.

It provides a bridge to technical information, presenting the technology associated with the near-surface disposal of low or intermediate level wastes. Coverage ranges from incipient planning to site closure and subsequent monitoring. The book discusses the importance of a systems approach during the design of new disposal facilities so that performance objectives can be achieved; gives an overview of the radioactive wastes consigned to near-surface disposal; addresses procedures for screening and selecting sites; and empasizes the importance of characterizing sites and obtaining reliable geologic and hydrologic data. The planning essential to the development of particular sites (land acquisition, access, layout, surface water management, capital costs) is considered, and site operations (waste receiving, inspection, emplacement, closure, stabilization) are reviewed. In addition the book presents concepts for improved confinement of waste, important aspects of establishing a monitoring program at the disposal facility, and corrective actions available after closure to minimize release. Two analytical techniques for evaluating alternative technologies are presented. Nontechnical issues surrounding disposal, including the difficulties of public acceptance are discussed. 440 pgs.
