Vibro compaction and vibro stone columns are the two dynamic methods of soil improvement most commonly used worldwide. These methods have been developed over almost eighty years and are now of unrivalled importance as modern foundation measures. Vibro compaction works on granular soils by densification, and vibro stone columns are used to displace and reinforce fine-grained and cohesive soils by introducing inert material.

This second edition includes also a chapter on vibro concrete columns constructed with almost identical depth vibrators. These small diameter concrete piles are increasingly used as ground improvement methods for moderately loaded large spread foundations, although the original soil characteristics are only marginally improved.

This practical guide for professional geotechnical engineers and graduate students systematically covers the theoretical basis and design principles behind the methods, the equipment used during their execution, and state of the art procedures for quality assurance and data acquisition.

All the chapters are updated in line with recent developments and improvements in the methods and equipment. Fresh case studies from around the world illustrate the wide range of possible applications. The book concludes with variations to methods, evaluates the economic and environmental benefits of the methods, and gives contractual guidance.

Zero Waste Engineering: A New Era of Sustainable Technology Development, 2nd Edition M. M. Khan, M. R. Islam December 2016, 704 pages ISBN: 978-1-119-18489-8

Description: This book outlines how to develop zero-waste engineering following natural pathways

that are truly sustainable using methods that have been developed for sustainability, such as solar air conditioning, natural desalination, green building, chemical-free biofuel, fuel cells, scientifically renewable energy, and new mathematical and economic models.

This second edition of a new scientific classic offers a groundbreaking paradigm shift to the engineer. As the world tries to create new ways of living efficiently and eliminating waste, scientific exploration continues to provide answers to the engineers who construct our homes, generate our fuel, process our food, and build our products. Sustainability is, perhaps, the most important issue facing our society today, with much of the world still turning to coal and oil to fuel its growth, buildings continuing to be built based on antiquated designs, and industry continuing to create environmental hazards and turning natural habitats into unsafe zones.

The authors delve into the fundamental science and engineering aspects of sustainability and the principle of “zero waste,” not just from a philosophical or hypothetical point, but they present detailed methods for eliminating waste in many important areas of engineering, such as civil engineering, agriculture, construction, health products, and energy production.

If nature is recyclable and, by its condition, “perfect,” in the sense that it cannot be wasteful or destructive without renewing itself, and if humans are, by their actions, responsible for the waste and devastation that we see in the world today, it seems that a return to natural pathways would be the logical way to achieve sustainability and zero-waste. The authors explore these issues and questions, offering mathematical models, new processes, and new, sustainable products for achieving this ultimate, desired result: Zero-Waste Engineering.

EDUROAM Eduroam (education roaming) este un program de acces gratuit la internet fără cablu (wireless), răspândit pe tot globul, destinat comunităţii internaţionale din cercetare şi educaţie. Permite studenţilor, cercetătorilor şi altor membri ai instituţiilor participante la acest program să obţină conectivitate sigură la internet wireless în interiorul campusului sau în orice altă instituţie participantă la Eduroam. Pe măsură ce programul se va extinde se speră ca acesta să poată fi utilizat pe viitor şi în alte locuri, precum biblioteci, muzee, spaţii publice etc. Pentru recepţionarea semnalului de internet eduroam, pe dispozitivul mobil (telefon, tabletă, laptop) trebuie instalat un program special (care se descarcă gratuit de pe site-ul www.eduroam.org). Accesul la Eduroam se face apoi prin crearea unui cont personal, care presupune o adresă de email ca nume de utilizator şi o parolă. Eduroam poate fi instalat şi pe calculatoarele care au deja conectare la internet prin cablu, acestea putând utiliza alternativ cele două modalităţi de acces la internet. Contul Eduroam şi configurarea dispozitivului pe care se va instala programul pentru utilizarea internetului prin Eduroam sunt asigurate de departamentul IT al instituţiei care este membru Eduroam. Universitatea Tehnică de Construcţii Bucureşti a devenit de curând membru Eduroam. Centrul de Comunicaţii a reuşit cu succes implementarea în U.T.C.B. a sistemului de acces WI-FI la internet eduroam. Pentru mai multe detalii privind instalarea şi condiţiile de utilizare a internetului eduroam puteţi contacta Centrul de Comunicaţii al U.T.C.B. la adresa eduroam@utcb.ro .

DIGILIB – Biblioteca digitală

Biblioteca U.T.C.B. dispune de un modul care oferă cititorilor acces la colecţiile on-line ale bibliotecii şi la informaţiile de circulaţie asociate acestora (la un nivel corespunzător utilizatorilor neiniţiaţi). Simplu de utilizat şi ultrarapid, modulul este catalogul electronic global al bibliotecii.

Modulul este destinat cititorilor, fiind extrem de simplu de utilizat; permite consultarea cataloagelor de titluri, autori, sistematico-alfabetic; permite regăsirea informaţiilor după cuvinte cheie, editură, nume autor, dată publicare etc; permite efectuarea de căutări combinate. Modulul utilizat se numeşte DIGILIB, iar adresa la care poate fi accesat este: http://digilib.utcb.ro. Motorul de căutare DIGILIB este în limba română, pentru o mai bună utilizare.

Fig. 1. Tipuri de criterii în vederea căutării unei publicaţii

Căutarea unei cărţi/articol se poate face folosind şi diacriticele (Ş, Ţ, ă, î) prin activarea opţiunii „Utilizare caractere diacritice“. Acestea nu se scriu din tastatură, ci se selectează din lista oferită de motorul de căutare DIGILIB.

În cazul în care nu se cunoaşte numele întreg al autorului, se tastează la criteriul Autor/Editor prima literă (sau silabă) din numele autorului şi se dă click pe butonul Listă. În acest moment programul va deschide din baza de date lista cu autorii al căror nume începe cu litera aleasă (în cazul de faţă Ş). Exemplul este prezentat în fig.2.

Fig. 2. Căutare după o literă în criteriul autor, utilizându-se diacritice

Din lista cu nume afişată se alege autorul cu click pe numele acestuia, iar apoi, cu ajutorul butonului „Caută“, se continuă căutarea cărţii sau articolului dorit. Se face click pe titlul cărţii dorite pentru a deschide fereastra cu Detaliile de înregistrare. Pentru a se vedea localizarea publicaţiei şi dacă e disponibilă pentru împrumut, se face din nou click pe detalii exemplare. Astfel se poate afla depozitul unde este acea carte (ex: H (Hidrotehnică), Ut (Utilaj) etc.). Exemplificarea acestor acţiuni este prezentată în fig.3. şi fig.4.

Fig. 3. Detaliile de înregistrare ale publicaţiei

Fig. 4. Localizarea unei publicaţii

Acest modul permite şi generarea listei de publicaţii ce pot fi citite integral on-line. Pentru a obţine această listă se face căutare simultan după cuvintele cheie: fulltext şi doctorat (pentru tezele de doctorat) sau fulltext şi curs (pentru cursuri) (fig.5.) Se selectează cartea dorită cu click. În fereastra deschisă, cu detaliile de înregistrare, se face click pe câmpul Imagine (în acest exemplu BurchiuE) şi se deschide varianta pdf a cărţii (tezei de doctorat în acest caz).

Fig. 5. Exemplu de căutare după cuvânt cheie fulltext

- 61 -

Căutarea poate fi făcută şi după mai multe criterii în acelaşi timp. De reţinut: cuvânt cheie poate fi orice cuvânt din titlul cărţii căutate. Mai multe informaţii pentru o căutare optimă se pot găsi în partea de Ajutor a programului, a cărei prezentare se face în fig.6.

Fig. 6. Prezentarea secţiunii de Ajutor a programului DIGILIB

Biblioteca U.T.C.B. a organizat şi o sală de patrimoniu care cuprinde cărţi tipărite în perioada 1865–1940. Sala se află în Blocul administrativ, la etajul 2, camera 72. Pentru a putea vedea lista cărţilor, se face o căutare cu ajutorul programului DIGILIB după criteriul subiect: patrimoniu.
