The Engineering of Foundations, Slopes and Retaining Structures
Rodrigo Salgado
CRC Press
2022
sidottu
The Engineering of Foundations, Slopes and Retaining Structures rigorously covers the construction, analysis, and design of shallow and deep foundations, as well as retaining structures and slopes. It includes complete coverage of soil mechanics and site investigations.This new edition is a well-designed balance of theory and practice, emphasizing conceptual understanding and design applications. It contains illustrations, applications, and hands-on examples that continue across chapters. Soil mechanics is examined with full explanation of drained versus undrained loading, friction and dilatancy as sources of shear strength, phase transformation, development of peak effective stress ratios, and critical-state and residual shear strength. The design and execution of site investigations is evaluated with complete discussion of the CPT and SPT. Additional topics include the construction, settlement and bearing capacity of shallow foundations, as well as the installation, ultimate resistance and settlement of deep foundations. Both traditional knowledge and methods and approaches based on recent progress are available. Analysis and design of retaining structures and slopes, such as the use of slope stability software stability calculations, is included.The book is ideal for advanced undergraduate students, graduate students and practicing engineers and researchers.

Fragility is a condition that inhabits the foundations of social life. It remains mostly unnoticed until something breaks and dislocates the sense of completion. In such moments of rupture, the social world reveals the stuff of which it is made and how it actually works; it opens itself to question. Based on this claim, this book reconsiders the place of the notions of crisis and critique as fundamental means to grasp the fragile condition of the social and challenges the normalization and dissolution of these ‘concepts’ in contemporary social theory. It draws on fundamental insights from Hegel, Marx, and Adorno as to recover the importance of the critique of concepts for the critique of society, and engages in a series of studies on the work of Habermas, Koselleck, Arendt, and Foucault as to consider anew the relationship of crisis and critique as immanent to the political and economic forms of modernity.Moving from crisis to critique and from critique to crisis, the book shows that fragility is a price to be paid for accepting the relational constitution of the social world as a human domain without secure foundations, but also for wishing to break free from all attempts at giving closure to social life as an identity without question. This book will engage students of sociology, political theory and social philosophy alike.
Originally published in 1994, Urban Land and Property Markets in the United Kingdom, adopts a perspective that encompasses the distinctive nature of the legal framework, land law, property market and procedures of Scotland, England and Wales. The book provides detailed accounts of the structure of property, planning and tax law governing urban land and property markets, registration procedures and transactions charges, market processes and how they all work in practice. The book is based on a report commissioned by the German Federal Government as part of a five-country study completed in 1991.

The Bolivarian Revolution, Regional Integration and Development
Rodrigo Acuña
Routledge
2026

Drawing from an impressive selection of primary sources, interviews with government officials and international relations literature, Rodrigo Acuña investigates Venezuela’s foreign policy towards Latin America and the Caribbean under the Bolivarian revolution. Focusing predominantly on the era of Hugo Chávez (1999-2012), Acuña demonstrates how Venezuela has become an important protagonist in forging greater unity in the region.While internationally Chávez was often portrayed by the Western media as an eccentric politician, who sought to make alliances with regimes that were hostile to Washington, the reality was often more complex. Taking its problems and setbacks into consideration, this book contends that Caracas has implemented rational policies in the area of international affairs in an attempt to break away from U.S. hegemony and create a multipolar world in which Latin America occupies a prominent and independent space. Starting with an examination of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas (ALBA), this book notes why the alliance today encompasses some 20 countries. As with ALBA, Venezuela’s oil diplomacy (Petrocaribe) successes as well as some of its weaknesses in the Caribbean and Central America also need to be taken account. Focusing mainly on Union of South American Nations (UNASUR), this book also argues that the bloc has become a crucial player in discussing regional conflicts, often out manoeuvring and even challenging the U.S.-led Organization of American States (OAS). Rodrigo Acuña concludes with reflections of Venezuela’s foreign policy since the death of Chávez. Focusing on some of president’s Nicolás Maduro’s domestic problems, he argues that Venezuela’s role in the region should not be overlooked in the post-Chávez era as this South American country still has numerous resources and allies throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. These tools still give Venezuela the ability to shape the region away from U.S. hegemony despite continuing domestic political issues.The Bolivarian Revolution, Regional Integration and Development reminds its readers that when studied critically, Venezuela’s influence in shaping Latin America and the Caribbean is far greater than it is often given credit for, despite the fact that there are real limitations as to what a Third World state can achieve.

Molti vegani spesso lamentano incomprensione, scherno, rabbia e insofferenza da parte della famiglia per la loro scelta etica. Reazioni cos ostili e rancorose proprio dalle persone pi vicine Che interesse avr mai la famiglia ad osteggiare questa profonda e radicata scelta morale? Perch tanta ansia, tanto coinvolgimento, tanta preoccupazione? Perci mi sono interrogato sul carattere marcatamente ansioso, ostile e rabbioso, della risposta della famiglia alla scelta vegana, un atteggiamento e un comportamento di evidente carattere difensivo. Sempre le stesse reazioni: l'incomunicabilit pi completa, la morte del dialogo. In questo saggio ho tentato una lettura in chiave interpersonale del problema del rapporto del vegano con la sua famiglia in primis e dei comportamenti di difesa di entrambe le parti nella situazione interpersonale ormai compromessa.
Imposible es una historia centrada en 2 j venes que se conocieron en la adolescencia, y que a pesar de que existe una fuerte atracci n mutua, no es hasta cuando son adultos que llegan a intentar vivir el amor que persiste entre ambos a pesar de los a os. El destino le pone muchas piedras en el camino a este amor, que sin embargo se resiste a desaparecer. Es la historia de un amor imposible. La narraci n navega por an cdotas de adolescentes y las complicaciones en la vida de los adultos j venes, y se proyecta muchas veces en pel culas y canciones, de la misma forma que todos nos identificamos alguna vez con las historias que vemos en el cine o las canciones que nos emocionan por sus letras. La historia se matiza con reflexiones y lecciones acerca de la vida, y de las cosas verdaderamente importantes. Espero que Imposible lo haga re r, lo haga llorar, lo emocione y lo haga pensar. La vida es muy corta...

Este livro e fruto de dissertacao de Mestrado em Direito do Estado, expandida e atualizada, defendida na Faculdade de Direito da Universidade de Sao Paulo, em 2009. O grande numero de interceptacoes telefonicas, especialmente nos ultimos tempos, renovou o interesse pela materia, motivando a criacao de uma Comissao Parlamentar de Inquerito, em 2007, e a regulamentacao, nos ambitos respectivos, por parte do Conselho Nacional de Justica e do Conselho Nacional do Ministerio Publico, bem como a apresentacao de Projetos de Lei a respeito, incluindo o de novo Codigo de Processo Penal em tramite no Congresso Nacional. Ademais, o advento e a consolidacao das comunicacoes eletronicas reservadas, seja atraves dos "e-mails" e das comunicacoes por voz via Internet, seja pela simples "digitalizacao" das redes, forca-nos a repensar conceitos, alguns novos, outros sequer consolidados ate hoje, tendo em vista que quando a Constituicao Federal vigente surgiu sequer existia a Internet como a conhecemos.
City of Play shows how play is built into the very fabric of the modern city. From playgrounds to theme parks, skittle alleys to swimming pools, to the countless uncontrolled spaces which the urban habitat affords – play is by no means just a childhood affair. A myriad essentially unproductive playful pursuits have, through time, modelled the modern city and landscape. Architect and scholar Rodrigo Pérez de Arce’s erudite, original, and often surprising study explores a curiously neglected dimension of architectural design and practice: ludic space. It is an architectural history of the playground – from the hippodrome to the Situationist city – of space released from productive ends in the pursuit of leisure. But this is more than just a book about how architecture has incorporated play into its spaces and structures, it is a history of the modern city itself. The ludic imagination impregnated modernist ideals, and what begins with the playground ends with a re-consideration of the whole sweep of the modern movement through the filter of leisure and play.Because play is such a basic or fundamental human experience, the book re-grounds the architect’s concerns with those of non-architects – and not only those of adults but also of children. It seeks to give everyone – architects and other ordinary city-dwellers alike – a better understanding about what is at stake in the making of the public spaces of our cities.
