This volume on "Advances in Analysis and Design of Deep Foundations" contains 22 technical papers which cover various aspects of analysis and design of deep foundations based on full-scale field testing, numerical modeling, and analytical solutions. The technical papers are 8-10 pages long that present the results and findings from research as well as practical-oriented studies on deep foundations that are of interest to civil/geotechnical engineering community. The topics cover a wide spectrum of applications that include evaluation of the axial and lateral capacity of piles, pile group effects, evaluation of the increase in pile capacity with time (or pile setup), influence of excavation on pile capacity, study the behavior of pile raft caisson foundations, evaluate the bearing capacity and settlement of piles from cone penetration tests, etc. This volume is part of the proceedings of the 1st GeoMEast International Congress and Exhibition on Sustainable Civil Infrastructures, Egypt 2017.

Gross solids are litter, trash, leaves, and large coarse sediments that travel, either as floating debris or bed loads, in stormwater conveyance systems. Traditional monitoring programs, which were designed to determine the effectiveness of Best Management Practices (BMPs) for reducing stormwater pollution, have relied on autosamplers that ineffectively sample gross solids. These large pollutants can have a harmful impact on the environment. The goal of Guideline for Monitoring Stormwater Gross Solids is to standardize data collection procedures and laboratory protocols used in evaluating the removal of gross solids. Three levels of monitoring procedures are analyzed throughout this report: screening evaluation, performance evaluation, and research and design. This book will be useful to engineers and professionals involved in stormwater management.
