Foundation Engineering for Expansive Soils
Your guide to the design and construction of foundations on expansive soils
Foundation Engineering for Expansive Soils fills a significant gap in the current literature by presenting coverage of the design and construction of foundations for expansive soils. Written by an expert author team with nearly 70 years of combined industry experience, this important new work is the only modern guide to the subject, describing proven methods for identifying and analyzing expansive soils and developing foundation designs appropriate for specific locations.
Expansive soils are found worldwide and are the leading cause of damage to structural roads. The primary problem that arises with regard to expansive soils is that deformations are significantly greater than in non-expansive soils and the size and direction of the deformations are difficult to predict. Now, Foundation Engineering for Expansive Soils gives engineers and contractors coverage of this subject from a design perspective, rather than a theoretical one. Plus, they'll have access to case studies covering the design and construction of foundations on expansive salts from both commercial and residential projects.
* Provides a succinct introduction to the basics of expansive soils and their threats
* Includes information on both shallow and deep foundation design
* Profiles soil remediation techniques, backed-up with numerous case studies
* Covers the most commonly used laboratory tests and site investigation techniques used for establishing the physical properties of expansive soils
If you're a practicing civil engineer, geotechnical engineer or contractor, geologist, structural engineer, or an upper-level undergraduate or graduate student of one of these disciplines, Foundation Engineering for Expansive Soils is a must-have addition to your library of resources.

Music in Black American Life, 1945-2020
This second volume of Music in Black American Life offers research
and analysis that originally appeared in the journals American
Music and Black Music Research Journal , and in two
book series published by the University of Illinois Press: Music in
American Life, and African American Music in Global Perspective. In
this collection, a group of predominately Black scholars explores a
variety of topics with works that pioneered new methodologies and
modes of inquiry for hearing and studying Black music. These
extracts and articles examine the World War II jazz scene; look at
female artists like gospel star Shirley Caesar and jazz
musician-arranger Melba Liston; illuminate the South Bronx milieu
that folded many forms of black expressive culture into rap; and
explain Hamilton 's massive success as part of the
\"tanning\" of American culture that began when Black music entered
the mainstream.
Part sourcebook and part survey of historic music scholarship,
Music in Black American Life, 1945-2020 collects
groundbreaking work that redefines our view of Black music and its
place in American music history.

Creating the Health Care Team of the Future
One way to significantly improve the delivery of health care is to teach the health professionals who provide care to work together, to communicate with each other across professional boundaries, and to start to think and act like a team that has the patient at its center. The team-based care movement is at the heart of major changes in medical education and will become an element in the new accreditation standards.
Through its Centre for Interprofessional Education, the pioneering approach in this area taken by the University of Toronto has attracted international attention. The role of the Centre for IPE, a formal partnership between the University of Toronto and the Toronto Academic Health Sciences Network, is to create a hub for the university and the many teaching hospitals where all core parties can be actively engaged in redesigning this new model of health care. In Creating the Health Care Team of the Future, Sioban Nelson, Maria Tassone, and Brian D. Hodges give a brief background of the Toronto Model and provide a step-by-step guide to developing an IPE program.
