Subsurface investigation is the most important phase of any civil
engineering construction or development activities. The geologic
conditions can be extremely complex, variable, and subject to
change with time; soil test borings and in-situ tests are employed
to obtain subsoil information. Resistivity Imaging (RI) is a
non-destructive, fast and cost-effective method of site
investigation and soil characterization. Site Investigation using
Resistivity Imaging aims to summarize pertinent details of RI in
site investigation for geotechnical and geo-environmental
applications. It aims to bridge the gap that currently exists
between the geotechnical/geo-environmental and geophysical
engineering community. The geotechnical and geo-environmental
engineers will be able to use annd understand geophysical data and
utilize the information for their design. Features: First
comprehensive handbook aimed at engineers that summarises pertinent
details of Resitivity Imaging (RI) in site investigation for
geotechnical and geo-environmental applications. for geotechnical
and geoenvironmental engineers, making it possible to interpret
geophysical data and utilize the information for their design.
explanining the advantages of RI over conventional site
investigations: continuous image, large coverage, low cost, quick
and easy data processing. It will be a comprehensive handbook for
the application of RI in geotechnical and geo-environmental site
investigations.
Landslides and slope failure are common in the US and rest of the
world. The landslides cause significant damage to infrastructure
and millions of dollars are required each year to fix the slope. A
sustainable and costeffective option to stabilise the slope can
have significant benefits, as it will reduce the cost of
maintenance and when using recycled pins, it may help the
environment at the same time. The recycled plastic pin is made from
recycled plastic bottles and other plastic waste. Several
demonstration projects already proved the effectiveness of RPP as
an alternative option to fix slope failure, with a maximum failure
depth of 7-8 ft. In this book, every detail of the slope
stabilisation technique using recycled plastic pins, including the
design techniques and several case studies, are included. This will
help to explain the basics of this important technique and will be
used as reference to design the slope stabilisation scheme using
recycled plastic pins.

This book bridges the gap between the demand for micro-featured
components on the one hand, and successful micromachining of
miniature products on the other. In addition to covering
micromachining in the broader sense, it specifically addresses
novel machining strategies implemented in various advanced
micromachining processes to improve machining accuracy, energy
consumption, component durability, and miniature-scale
applicability. The book's main goal is to present the capabilities
of advanced micromachining processes in terms of miniature product
manufacturing by highlighting various innovative machining
strategies that can be used to augment the production scale and
precision alike.
This book presents a complete coverage of micromachining processes
from their basic material removal phenomena to past and recent
research carried by a number of researchers worldwide. Chapters on
effective utilization of material resources, improved efficiency,
reliability, durability, and cost effectiveness of the products are
presented. This book provides the reader with new and recent
developments in the field of micromachining and microfabrication of
engineering materials.

The most important properties of normal and Student t-distributions
are presented. A number of applications of these properties are
demonstrated. New related results dealing with the distributions of
the sum, product and ratio of the independent normal and Student
distributions are presented. The materials will be useful to the
advanced undergraduate and graduate students and practitioners in
the various fields of science and engineering.
Micro-electrical discharge machining (micro-EDM) is a popular and
diversified advanced micromachining process, which is applied
mostly to machine advanced engineering materials. Ti-6Al-4V
superalloy is a popular aerospace material applied for various
engineering and biomedical applications. The book presents
