Sinossi

Earthquake Liquefaction explores the phenomenon where solid ground transforms into a liquid-like state during seismic events, posing significant risks to buildings, infrastructure, and human lives. The book emphasizes the soil mechanics and geological conditions that contribute to liquefaction, illustrating how factors like soil density and groundwater levels play critical roles. Readers will gain insights into how liquefaction contributed to devastation in past earthquakes.

 
The book adopts a practical engineering approach, guiding readers from fundamental concepts to advanced applications in assessing and mitigating seismic risk. It begins by establishing a historical context, then delves into site investigation and ground improvement techniques. The book further covers how to manage liquefaction risk through analytical techniques and engineering designs.

 
Structured to progress logically, the book first introduces the basic principles of liquefaction, then explores influential factors, and concludes with real-world case studies. It emphasizes that liquefaction risks can be effectively managed through proactive mitigation strategies, shifting the focus from passive acceptance to active risk management in earthquake-prone regions.

Living Landmarks of Chicago -...

Theresa L. Goodrich

From the man shipped home in a rum barrel to the most dangerous woman in America, Chicago history comes to life in these tantalizing tales.
"A wonderful bible of Chicago." WGN
Living Landmarks of Chicago goes beyond the what, when, and where to tell the how and why of fifty Chicago landmarks. More than a book about architecture, these are stories of the people who made Chicago and many of its most popular tourist attractions what they are today. Each chapter is a vignette that introduces the landmark and brings it to life, and the book is organized chronologically to illustrate the development of the city's distinct personality. These fifty landmarks weave an interconnected tale of Chicago between 1836 and 1932 (and beyond).
History lines Chicago’s sidewalks. Stroll down LaSalle or Dearborn or State and you’ll see skyscrapers that have been there for a century or more. It’s easy to scurry by, to dismiss the building itself, but a hunt for placards turns up landmarks every few feet, it seems. Here’s a Chicago landmark; there’s a National Historic landmark. They’re everywhere.
Ironically, these skyscrapers keep the city grounded; they illustrate a past where visionaries took fanciful, impossible ideas and made them reality. Buildings sinking? Raise them. River polluting the lake and its precious drinking water? Reverse it. Overpopulation and urban sprawl making it challenging to get to work? Build up. From the bare to the ornate, from exposed beams to ornamented facades, the city’s architecture is unrestrainedly various yet provides a cohesive, beautiful skyline that illustrates the creativity of necessity, and the necessity of creativity.

A Chance to Harmonize - How...

Sheryl Kaskowitz

In 1934, the Great Depression had destroyed the US economy, leaving residents poverty-stricken. First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt urged President Roosevelt to take radical action to help those hit hardest. They set up government homesteads in rural areas across the country, an experiment in cooperative living where people could start over. To boost morale and encourage the homesteaders to find community in their own traditions, the administration brought in artists to lead group activities—including folk music.Working almost entirely (and purposely) under the radar, the music unit would collect more than 800 songs and operate for nearly two years, until they were shut down under fire from a conservative coalition in Congress that deemed the entire homestead enterprise dangerously "socialistic."Despite its early demise, the music unit proved that music can provide hope and a sense of belonging even in the darkest times. It also laid the groundwork for the folk revival that followed.A Chance To Harmonize reveals this untold story and will delight listeners with the revelation of a new and previously undiscovered chapter in American cultural history.
