Core Principles of Soil Mechanics is a practical guide to the key concepts and latest developments in the field of soil mechanics. It explores the physical properties of soils and the behaviour of soil masses subjected to loads, as well as soil phases, classification and characteristics, stresses and fluid flow, consolidation, compressibility and compaction, shear strength, lateral earth pressure, slope stability and bearing capacity. These core principles can be applied to soil-like materials, such as coal ashes and mine tailings, and are explored using real-life scenarios and worked examples.Produced by the Institution of Civil Engineers, ICE Textbooks offer clear, concise and practical information on the major principles of civil and structural engineering. They are an indispensable companion to undergraduate audiences, providing students with:A comprehensive introduction to core engineering subjectsReal-life case studies and worked examplesPractice questions, exercises and supplementary online solutions available at: www.icetextbooks.comKey learning aims, revision points and chapter summariesFurther reading suggestions

The expansion of carbon materials is multidisciplinary and is related to physics, chemistry, biology, applied sciences and engineering. The research on carbon materials has mostly focused on aspects of fundamental physics as they unique electrical, thermal and mechanical properties applicable for the range of applications. The electrons in graphene and other derived carbon materials behave as dirac fermions due to their interaction with the ions of the lattice. This direction has led to the discovery of new phenomena such as Klein tunneling in carbon based solid state systems and the so-called half-integer quantum Hall effect. Advanced Carbon Materials and Technology presents cutting-edge chapters on the processing, properties and technological developments of graphene, carbon nanotubes, carbon fibers, carbon particles and other carbon based structures including multifunctional graphene sheets, graphene quantum dots, bulky balls, carbon balls, and their polymer composites.This book brings together respected international scholars writing on the innovative methodologies and strategies adopted in carbon materials research area including Synthesis, characterization and functionalization of carbon nanotubes and grapheneSurface modification of grapheneCarbon based nanostructured materialsGraphene and carbon nanotube based electrochemical (bio)sensors for environmental monitoringCarbon catalysts for hydrogen storage materialsOptical carbon nanoobjectsGraphene and carbon nanotube based biosensorsCarbon doped cryogel filmsBioimpact of carbon nanomaterialsPhotocatalytic nature of carbon nanotube based compositesEngineering behavior of ash fillsFly ash syntactic foams microstructure
