Die Geländemodellierung spielt in der Landschaftsarchitektur eine der Hauptrollen, sie ist neben der Bepflanzung/Vegetation das wichtigste Element zur Gestaltung der Landschaft. Landschaftsarchitekten müssen in der Lage sein, mit Höhenlinien zu entwerfen, schnell Alternativen zu entwickeln und Varianten bezüglich Gestaltung, Ökologie, Ökonomie und Technik zu prüfen. Dazu sind Kenntnisse der Geländemodellierung unabdingbare Voraussetzung.Das Buch erläutert grundlegende Aspekte der Geländemodellierung: Geländeformen, Maßstäbe, Interpolation, Höhenpunkte, Höhenlinie, Erdmassenberechnung, und führt in Themen wie Hangsicherungssysteme, Regenwassermanagement oder Geländemodellierung auf der Baustelle ein. In der zweiten Auflage werden diese Grundlagen um neue Technologien wie landscapingSMART, digitale Geländemodellierung (DGM) und 3D-Maschinensteuerung aktualisiert. Hinzu kommen die Geländemodellierung von Straßen und Parkplätzen sowie weitere Baummaschinen zur Geländemodellierung.Zahlreiche Praxisbeispiele ergänzen die theoretischen Grundlagen, in einem Aufgabenteil kann das Erlernte angewendet werden.

Vibro compaction and vibro stone columns are the two dynamic methods of soil improvement most commonly used worldwide. These methods have been developed over almost eighty years and are now of unrivalled importance as modern foundation measures. Vibro compaction works on granular soils by densification, and vibro stone columns are used to displace and reinforce fine-grained and cohesive soils by introducing inert material. This second edition includes also a chapter on vibro concrete columns constructed with almost identical depth vibrators. These small diameter concrete piles are increasingly used as ground improvement methods for moderately loaded large spread foundations, although the original soil characteristics are only marginally improved. This practical guide for professional geotechnical engineers and graduate students systematically covers the theoretical basis and design principles behind the methods, the equipment used during their execution, and state of the art procedures for quality assurance and data acquisition. All the chapters are updated in line with recent developments and improvements in the methods and equipment. Fresh case studies from around the world illustrate the wide range of possible applications. The book concludes with variations to methods, evaluates the economic and environmental benefits of the methods, and gives contractual guidance.

At the coast all is not what it seems.  Decades of beachfront development have seen a variety of efforts to stabilize the shoreline to protect ill-placed beachfront property, both from shoreline erosion and from storm damage. Both of these problems become increasingly critical in a time of rising sea level.  Many natural beaches are backed by sea walls, while others have been transformed by whole series of groynes, offshore breakwaters and a plethora of other schemes. Many recreational beaches are actually artificial replicas of the real thing, emplaced to protect badly placed infrastructure and maintained only through ongoing costly beach nourishment.  However, all of these attempts to stabilize the shoreline are far from benign. Degradation and even complete loss of the all important recreational beach sometimes results from seawall emplacement. Increasingly, the choice of shoreline stabilization approach will depend upon plans for future response to rising seas which in many cases may involve retreat from the shoreline rather than holding the line.  This book explores, through a series of case studies from around the globe, the pitfalls of shoreline stabilization and provides a ready reference for those with an interest in shoreline management.  It is particularly timely in a time of global change.

The book is about soft soil engineering and is intended to serve the practicing as well as the research engineers. The planning, design and construction of excavations and foundations in soft to very soft soils is always a difficult and challenging assignment to engineers. The authors have tried to address some of these problems and challenges in this book. Beside the state of the art of soft soils, authors own research results and experiences from practical projects are presented in the book. Special emphasis is also given among others on the presentation of several case studies corresponding to each topic treated in the book as well as a summary of the experiences in the - termination of soil parameters for finite element analysis of geotechnical problems. The book is illustrated by a wealth of photographs and diagrams. The reader is referred to chapter 1 for a general introduction to the content of the book, the motives and backgrounds of the book. The aim of the authors is to give the readers an overview of the state of the art of material properties of soft soils and their application in excavations, different types of foundations and stabilization methods. The authors emphasis, however, that the presence of soft soil in connection with construction measure should not a priori be classified as extremely difficult and strong cost intensive for the project.
