The book offers systematic dynamic analysis of soils and their engineering applications including machine foundations and aims to develop a clear understanding of the subject. It comprises sixteen chapters. Chapter 1 introduces the reader to the various problems in soil dynamics. In Chapter 2 concepts of theory of vibrations are discussed along with their applications in designing Vibration Absorbers and Pickups. Wave propagation in elastic medium including wave refraction in layered medium is covered in Chapter 3. Chapter 4 deals with the procedure of determining dynamic properties of soils using various laboratory and field tests. Dynamic earth pressures in retaining walls and dynamic bearing capacity of footings are dealt with in Chapters 5 and 6 respectively. Chapters 7and 8 respectively deal with dynamic behavior of pile foundations and slopes. Causes of liquefaction of soils and prediction of liquefaction potential have been discussed in Chapter 9. In Chapter 10 the procedure of estimating the unbalanced forces in various types of machines are covered. Chapters 11 12 and 13 deal with the analysis and design of foundations of reciprocating machine hammer and turbo-generators respectively. In Chapter 14 problems of vibration isolation and screening are dealt with. Chapter 15 discusses the analysis and design of reinforced earth wall located in seismic areas. A new concept of a conventional rigid retaining wall having reinforced backfill is presented in Chapter 16 giving complete analysis and design procedure considering seismic forces. | Dynamics of Soils and Their Engineering Applications

Critical Perspectives on Leadership The Language of Corporate Power

Critical Perspectives on Leadership The Language of Corporate Power

Within contemporary culture ‘leadership’ is seen in ways that appeal to celebrated societal values and norms. As a result it is becoming difficult to use the language of leadership without at the same time assuming its essentially positive intrinsically affirmative nature. Within organizations routinely referring to bosses as ‘leaders’ has therefore become both a symptom and a cause of a deep largely unexamined new conceptual architecture. This architecture underpins how we think about authority and power at work. Capitalism and its turbo-charged offspring neo-liberalism have effectively captured ‘leader’ and ‘leadership’ to serve their own purposes. In other words organizational leadership today is so often a particular kind of insidious conservativism dressed up in radical adjectives. This book makes visible the work that the language of leadership does in perpetuating fictions that are useful for bosses of work organizations. We do this so that we – and anyone who shares similar discomforts – can make a start in unravelling the fiction. We contend that even if our views are contrary to the vast and powerful leadership industry our basic arguments rest on things that are plain and evident for all to see. Critical Perspectives on Leadership: The Language of Corporate Power will be key reading for students academics and practitioners in the disciplines of Leadership Organizational Studies Critical Management Studies Sociology and the related disciplines. | Critical Perspectives on Leadership The Language of Corporate Power
