Geotechnical Hazards

Edited By Z. Lisac, B. Maric, A. Szavits-Nossan Copyright 1998

    The contributions to this volume examine: geotechnical hazard acknowledging the deversity of local ground conditions and environmental factors which play a decisive role in designing engineering structures in Danubian countries.
