Covers the main fields of mathematics and focuses on the methods used for obtaining solutions of various classes of mathematical equations that underlie the mathematical modeling of numerous phenomena and processes in science and technology.

Worldwide coverage of environmental issues. Each article is written in a nontechnical style and provides current status, analysis, and suggested solutions

This collection contains 92 peer-reviewed papers on challenges and recent advances in geotechnical and seismic research and practice. Topics include: soil dynamics and earthquake engineering, foundation engineering and pile testing, excavation and shoring, embankments and retaining walls, tunnels and underground structures, dams and levees, slopes and landslides, expansive soils and loess, geology and rock mechanics, ground improvement techniques, geotechnical numerical modeling and computation, and geotechnical support technologies during construction. GSP 232 will be of interest to geotechnical researchers and practicing engineers around the world working on geotechnical earthquake engineering problems.
