Many aspects of Native American education have been given extensive attention

Provides critical guidance for constructors and engineers in supervision and maintenance of earth and rockfill dams. This manual outlines the key components that ensure the safety and performance of these dams, including competent and adequate supervision, careful inspection and control testing.

This text shows how strands of racial thinking and behaviour have become institutionalized and are crucial for maintaining the unequal distribution of wealth that is more pronounced in the US than any other advanced country. It proposes an understanding of racism as a divide-and-conquer mechanism.

Explains the minimum set of requirements to achieve an acceptable level of safety and performance for an Automated People Mover (APM) system. This work helps the industry by expediting the approval and release process and facilitating the use of an APM system. It provides general information on vehicles and Propulsion and Braking Systems (PBS).

The Central Artery/Tunnel Project (CA/T) in Boston, Massachusetts, is one of the largest urban highway construction projects in the history of the interstate system. This book discusses the various testing programs undertaken to answer technical questions related to design and construction of the Central Artery/ Tunnel Project in Boston.

Summarizes the results of an evaluation that was designed to test the performance of 11 seismic isolators and dampers. The devices were tested for stability, response during earthquake simulations, and fatigue and weathering effects.

Provides minimum functionality requirements for earthquake-actuated automatic gas shutoff devices and systems meant to include mechanical devices consisting of a sensing means and a means to shut off the flow of gaseous fuels. This title basically applies to single-family or multi-family structures of three stories or less.

Contains 95 papers summarizing the practice of soil mechanics and engineering geology in the design and construction of underground facilities. Topics are related to the design of excavation support systems, the precedent in various geologic environments, the development of excavation techniques, and the advance of ground modification efforts.

Features 19 papers that present research in analysis, design, construction, and testing of deep foundations on topics, such as pile foundation collapse, three-dimensional analysis, pile driving techniques, and suction caisson foundations.
