Ground Improvement by Deep Vibratory Methods by Klaus Kirsch (CRC Press) 5.0 Stars (2 Reviews)    Price verified 44 minutes ago

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 ...

Thousands of years ago, a cat purred, and humans listened. We were fascinated. Today, we're still fascinated by the purr, but in many cases, we've let our feline companions down.

You'll be inspired, you'll be awed, and you'll say "awww" over stories about cats like these: Ms. Sammy, the cat delivered to her "furever" home by the coroner. Lima, the kitty with a horribly infected tail, but who never stopped purring in appreciation of her human's efforts to help her get well. Hanuko, the rescue with two human mommies. From tales of cats rescued from a warehouse, a barn, and even a coffee can, to heartwarming stories of feline determination and human compassion, every story in The Cat Rescue Diaries is evidence of what happens when good people seek out the purr and find their "purrfect" feline match.
