Offshore Geotechnical Engineering - Susan Gourvenec, Mark Randolph

Design practice in offshore geotechnical engineering has grown out of onshore practice, but the two application areas have tended to diverge over the last thirty years, driven partly by the scale of the foundation and anchoring elements used offshore, and partly by fundamental differences in construction and installation techniques. As a consequence offshore geotechnical engineering has grown as a speciality. The structure of Offshore Geotechnical Engineering follows a pattern that mimics the flow of a typical offshore project. In the early chapters it provides a brief overview of the marine environment, offshore site investigation techniques and interpretation of soil behaviour. It proceeds to cover geotechnical design of piled foundations, shallow foundations and anchoring systems. Three topics are then covered which require a more multi-disciplinary approach: the design of mobile drilling rigs, pipelines and geohazards. This book serves as a framework for undergraduate and postgraduate courses, and will appeal to professional engineers specialising in the offshore industry.

Intermediate Offshore Foundations - Elisabeth Palix, Susan Gourvenec, Steve Kay, Etienne Alderlieste

Intermediate foundations are used as anchors for floating platforms and ancillary structures, foundations for steel jackets, and to support seafloor equipment and offshore wind turbines. When installed by suction, they are an economical alternative to piling, and also may be completely removed. They are usually circular in plan and are essentially rigid when laterally loaded. Length to diameter embedment ratios, L/D, generally vary between 0.5 and 10, spanning the gap between shallow and deep foundations, although these are indicative boundaries and the response, rather than the embedment ratio, defines an intermediate foundation.The first chapters introduce foundation types; compare shallow, intermediate and deep foundation models and design; define unique design issues that make intermediate foundations distinct from shallow and deep foundations, as well as list their hazards that mainly occur during installation. Later chapters cover installation, in-place resistance and in-place response, and miscellaneous design considerations.There is no general agreement as to which design methods/models are appropriate, so models should only be as accurate as the data. Therefore, several reasonably accurate models are provided together with comprehensive discussion and advice. Example calculations and over 200 references are also included.This is the first book dedicated to the geotechnical design of intermediate foundations, and ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Good Reasons for Bad Feelings - Randolph M. Nesse

''A new approach to mental disorder. Randolph Nesse''s insightful book suggests that conditions such as anxiety and depression have a clear evolutionary purpose ... This intriguing book turns some age-old questions about the human condition upside down'' Tim Adams, ObserverOne of the world''s most respected psychiatrists provides a much-needed new evolutionary framework for making sense of mental illnessWith his classic book Why We Get Sick, Randolph Nesse established the field of evolutionary medicine. Now he returns with a book that transforms our understanding of mental disorders by exploring a fundamentally new question. Instead of asking why certain people suffer from mental illness, Nesse asks why natural selection has left us with fragile minds at all.Drawing on revealing stories from his own clinical practice and insights from evolutionary biology, Nesse shows how negative emotions are useful in certain situations, yet can become excessive. Anxiety protects us from harm in the face of danger, but false alarms are inevitable. Low mood prevents us from wasting effort in pursuit of unreachable goals, but it often escalates into pathological depression. Other mental disorders, such as addiction and anorexia, result from the mismatch between modern environments and our ancient human past. Taken together, these insights ...

Proč je dobré cítit se špatně - Randolph M. Nesse

Americký lékař, vědec a spisovatel Randolph Nesse, spoluzakladatel oboru evoluční medicíny, ve své nové knize rozšiřuje pohled na vznik nemocí a aplikuje principy svého oboru na duševní choroby. Zabývá se přitom otázkou, proč jsou v současnosti úzkost, závislost na látkách či poruchy příjmu potravy a schizofrenie tak rozšířené. Různými poruchami nálady dnes trpí stovky milionů lidí na celém světě. Mají kvůli tomu zhoršenou kvalitu života a znemožňuje jim to pracovat, a někdy i vůbec žít. Pomalý postup v hledání příčin těchto chorob a jejich léčby inspiruje sílící volání po nových přístupech. Tato kniha se proto ptá, nejen proč někteří lidé onemocní, ale hlavně proč jsme díky přírodnímu výběru tak náchylní vůči duševním chorobám. Jak autor vysvětluje, úzkost je užitečná odezva důležitá pro naše přežití, která prostě někdy přeroste míru.
