Linear mathematical assumptions for procedures in other branches of engineering have little relevance for geoengineering, which must accommodate non-linear behaviors. Contributors to eight papers apply the breakthrough numerical modeling Distinct Element Method (Cundall, late 1960s).

Vibrations caused by pile-driving can damage structures, while litigation may result from the human distress which pile-driving induces. There are ways to mitigate both aspects of the problem and it is important to assess the likelihood of damage and to minimize any ensuing costs early in the process. This book is based on the responses to a questionnaire which was developed and sent to all state departments of the USA and Canada. Additionally, questionnaires were sent to piling contractors, vibration consultants and vibration monitoring firms. It will help readers to better understand the...

Oceanside is a close look at a community whose history begins with the history of Long Island. Captured in these images is the south shore town that was once one of the largest oyster-producing communities in the world. It is a place that, over the years, has attracted farmers, baymen, middle-class families, and millionaires. It has also drawn more than its share of visitors to St. Anthony's underground church, Beall's Zoo, the Roadside Rest, and Nathan's Famous Restaurant.
