Ground Support Technology for Highly Stressed Excavations

Integrated Theoretical, Laboratory, and Field Research

By: Ernesto Villaescusa,Alan G Thompson,Christopher R Windsor,John R Player

The performance of ground support as a scheme is essential to constrain failures occurring at the rock surfaces of deep or highly stressed excavations. This book covers laboratory and theoretical developments coupled with field experiments and observations with the implementation of the methodology at mines. It explains the energy dissipation capabilities of reinforcement and support systems leading to the design of complete ground support schemes that can maintain integrity following the dynamic ejection of a mass of rock from an excavation boundary. The key features of the book are as follows: It explores the mechanics, demand and capacity of ground support technology It covers the whole gamut of theories, laboratory and field test results and case studies related to ground support technology It includes a comprehensive database of mesh, rock bolts, cable bolts and shotcrete capacity It examines ground support scheme testing and explanation It discusses comprehensive case studies, including de-stress blasting This book is aimed at professionals in mining engineering, including civil engineering, geological engineering and geotechnical engineering, and related advanced postgraduate studies.

Psychology and Its Cities

A New History of Early American Psychology

By: Christopher D. Green

Within the social and political upheaval of American cities in the decades surrounding the turn of the 20th century, a new scientific discipline, psychology, strove to carve out a place for itself. In this new history of early American psychology, Christopher D. Green highlights the urban contexts in which much of early American psychology developed and tells the stories of well-known early psychologists, including William James, G. Stanley Hall, John Dewey, and James McKeen Cattell, detailing how early psychologists attempted to alleviate the turmoil around them. American psychologists sought out the daunting intellectual, emotional, and social challenges that were threatening to destabilize the nation’s burgeoning urban areas and proposed novel solutions, sometimes to positive and sometimes to negative effect. Their contributions helped develop our modern ideas about the mind, person, and society. This book is ideal for scholars and students interested in the history of psychology.

British and Irish Paintings in Public Collections

An Index of British and Irish Oil Paintings by Artists Born Before 1870 in Public and Institutional Collections in the United Kingdom and Ireland

By: Christopher Wright,Catherine May Gordon

This book sets a new standard as a work of reference. It covers British and Irish art in public collections from the beginning of the sixteenth century to the end of the nineteenth, and it encompasses nearly 9,000 painters and 90,000 paintings in more than 1,700 separate collections. The book includes as well pictures that are now lost, some as a consequence of the Second World War and others because of de-accessioning, mostly from 1950 to about 1975 when Victorian art was out of fashion. By listing many tens of thousands of previously unpublished works, including around 13,000 which do not yet have any form of attribution, this book becomes a unique and indispensable work of reference, one that will transform the study of British and Irish painting.

Economics

By: Richard G. Lipsey,Christopher Ragan

This fully updated and revised text provides economics students with a comprehensive introduction to economics. It covers both macroeconomics and microeconomics and explains the principles of economics clearly. With a redesigned layout in full colour, the book is very accessible and is divided into distinct parts that cover: introduction to the market economy, consumers and producers, markets for inputs, market success and market failure, macroeconomics, growth and cycles, macro policy in a monetary economy and global economics issues. Traditionally, a book with a strong European and international focus, this edition has built on this strength and contains a variety of new international examples.
