Evolutionary Process of a Steep Rocky Reservoir Bank in a Dynamic Mechanical Environment

Evolutionary Process of a Steep Rocky Reservoir Bank in a Dynamic Mechanical Environment

To prevent the collapse of dangerous rock masses on steep rocky reservoir banks which can cause casualties and property loss it is essential to design and conduct practical experiments to quantify the evolution processes of the reservoir banks and control such dangerous rock masses. Using the Jianchuandong Dangerous Rock Mass project as a case study this book generalizes the mechanical model of the project to show how improved equipment can be used to measure the mechanical state transition under the continuous action of axial pressure. It details a series of experiments to study the evolution of a severely steep rocky reservoir bank which comprehensively consider the influence of hydraulic coupling dry-wet cycles axial pressure and time-dependent effects. The results support a new method for determining the stability of dangerous rock masses on reservoir banks. Combines engineering principles real data experimental methods and results Provides a complete research method for investigating hydrogeology failure processes The book suits practitioners in hydropower engineering engineering geology and disaster protection. | Evolutionary Process of a Steep Rocky Reservoir Bank in a Dynamic Mechanical Environment

Measurement Uncertainty in Forensic Science A Practical Guide

Measurement Uncertainty in Forensic Science A Practical Guide

In the courtroom critical and life-changing decisions are made based on quantitative forensic science data. There is often a range in which a measured value is expected to fall and in this an inherent uncertainty associated with such measurement. Uncertainty in this context is not error. In fact estimations of uncertainty can add to the utility and reliability of quantitative results be it the length of a firearm barrel the weight of a drug sample or the concentration of ethanol in blood. Measurement Uncertainty in Forensic Science: A Practical Guide describes and defines the concepts related to such uncertainty in the forensic context. The book provides the necessary conceptual background and framework a baseline for developing and deploying reasonable and defensible uncertainty estimations across forensic disciplines. Information is presented conceptually using easily understood examples to provide a readable handy reference for scientists in the laboratory as well as investigators and legal professionals who require a basic understanding of the science underpinning measurement results. | Measurement Uncertainty in Forensic Science A Practical Guide
