The widespread adoption of smartphones, ridesharing and carsharing have disrupted the transport sector. In cities around the world, new mobility services are both welcomed and challenged by regulators and incumbent operators. Mobility as a Service (MaaS), an ecosystem designed to deliver collaborative and connected mobility services in a society increasingly embracing a sharing culture, is at the center of this disruption. Understanding Mobility as a Service (MaaS): Past, Present and Future examines such topics as: <ul> <li>How likely MaaS will be implemented in one digital platform&nbsp;app</li> <li>Whether MaaS will look the same in all countries</li> <li>The role multi-modal contract brokers play</li> <li>Mobility regulations and pricing models</li> <li>MaaS trials, their impacts and consequences</li> </ul> Written by the leading thinkers in the field for researchers, practitioners, and policy makers, Understanding Mobility as a Service (MaaS): Past, Present and Future serves as a single source on all the current and evolving&nbsp;developments, debates, and challenges.

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. <ul>
<li>Provides a succinct introduction to the basics of expansive soils and their threats</li> <li>Includes information on both shallow and deep foundation design</li> <li>Profiles soil remediation techniques, backed-up with numerous case studies</li> <li>Covers the most commonly used laboratory tests and site investigation techniques used for establishing the physical properties of expansive soils</li> </ul>
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.

Essential technical information for building on expansive soils --complete with practical, proven design methods. Expansive Soils examines factors that influence the design of foundations and pavements built on expansive soils, and explores key design procedures and remedial measures that address these factors effectively. Backed by the authors' extensive research and experience --including interviews with practicing engineers working with expansive soils --this authoritative volume is an important reference text for geotechnical and foundation engineers, geologists, construction professionals, and students. Easy to understand and apply, Expansive Soils contains: * Site investigation techniques for identification and classification of expansive soils * Heave prediction methods using different types of data --with rigorous treatment of soil suction theory and measurement, oedometer tests, and more * Alternative design procedures for drilled pier and slab-on-grade foundations, highway and airfield pavements * Treatment and chemical stabilization techniques --including salt treatment; moisture barriers; lime and cement stabilization; and other procedures * Remedial measures such as drainage control, and removal with replacement and compaction control * Sample problems illustrating practical applications.
