This manual Planning and Design of Hydraulic Power Systems attempts to fill the gap. The manual deals with the way in which the components of hydraulic systems work together.
The authors describe exactly what should be involved in the planning, design, manufacture and execution of hydraulic systems.
There are numerous tables, diagrams and illustrations to clarify the functional relationships and interdependent aspects of the systems. They are a very useful aid in day-to-day working.
Practical examples and the principal relevant standards will be found at the end of each chapter. The manual is not only intended for users, it can also be very useful to those undergoing initial training or retraining.
The framework of professional training for hydraulic drive and control technology is constantly expanding.
This manual will prove a valuable aid to those interested in keeping their knowledge of the subject up-to-date.

Using a design-oriented approach that addresses geotechnical, structural, and construction aspects of foundation engineering, this book explores practical methods of designing structural foundations, while emphasizing and explaining how and why foundations behave the way they do.
It explains the theories and experimental data behind the design procedures, and how to apply this information to real-world problems. Covers general principles (performance requirements,
soil mechanics, site exploration and characterization); shallow foundations (bearing capacity, settlement, spread footings — geotechnical design, spread footings — structural design, mats);
deep foundations (axial load capacity — full-scale load tests, static methods, dynamic methods; lateral load capacity; structural design); special topics (foundations on weak and compressible
soils, foundation on expansive soils, foundations on collapsible soils); and earth retaining structures (lateral earth pressures, cantilever retaining walls, sheet pile walls, soldier pile walls,
internally stabilized earth retaining structures). For geotechnical engineers, soils engineers, structural engineers, and foundation engineers.
Treating anchorages as a direct application of the laws of statics and the theories governing the transfer of load, this book focuses on designs that are safe and reasonably priced. It is divided into two parts.
Following a general introduction in the first chapter, Part One goes on to explore anchor systems, components, installation and construction details.
Presents special anchor systems such as extractable, compression-type, multibell, and regroutable anchors. Analyzes the transfer of load and its relation to failure modes and anchor load capacity; deals with design considerations; covers mechanisms and types of corrosion; and details anchor stressing, testing programs, and evaluation standards.
Part Two considers uses and applications and design aspects of anchored structures; presents design examples of practical value and reasonable simplicity; and incorporates examples and case histories.

This handbook contains some of the most recent developments in theoretical and applied
foundation engineering in addition to classical foundation design methods. The inclusion of
recent developments mostly enriches the classical design concepts in Chapters 3–7, 10 and 11.
It also enables the reader to update his or her knowledge of new modeling concepts applicable
to foundation design. Most recently developed in situ testing methods discussed in detail in
Chapter 2 certainly familiarize the reader with state-of-the-art techniques adopted in site
testing.
In addition, modern ground stabilization techniques introduced in Chapter 12 by an
experienced senior engineer in Hayward-Baker Inc., a leading authority in site improvement
work across North America, provides the reader with the knowledge of effective site
improvement techniques that are essential for foundation design.
Innovative and widely used methods of testing pile foundations are introduced with numerical illustrations in Chapters 2 and 7. LRFD designs in Chapters 3 and 6 and the design of retaining structures with geogrids included in Chapter 10 are unique features of this foundation engineering handbook.
For the benefit of the reader, the basic and advanced soil mechanics concepts needed in foundation design are elaborated with several numerical examples in Chapter 1.

Geological hazard and the lack of appropriate survey, design and construction instruments for tackling those terrains we call “difficult”, with good prospects of success, have always made the design and construction of underground works a risky affair, which could not therefore be faced with the same degree of accuracy as other civil engineering works. As a consequence they have always occupied a subordinate position with respect to similar surface constructions and in the past they were only resorted to when the latter seemed impractical or of little use.
The purpose of this book is not just to illustrate the basic concepts of the approach as fully and exhaustively as possible and to show how, by following its principles, underground works can be designed and constructed with a reliability and accuracy never attained before. Its purpose is above all to furnish the scientific community with a useful reference text around which all may work together to improve the ADECO-RS approach or even to go beyond it.

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) is a common term used by the civil engineering community for high-strength composites.
Composites have been used by the space and aerospace communities for over six decades and the use of composites by the civil engineering community spans about three decades.
In the composite system, the strength and the stiffness are primarily derived from fibers, and the matrix binds the fibers together to form structural and nonstructural components.
Composites are known for their
high specific strength, high stiffness, and corrosion resistance.
Repair and retrofit are still the predominant areas where FRPs are used in the civil engineering community.
The field is relatively young and, therefore, there is considerable ongoing research in this area.
American Concrete Institute Technical Committee 440 documents are excellent sources
for the latest information.
The primary purpose of this book is to introduce the reader to the basic concepts of repairing and retrofitting reinforced and prestressed concrete structural elements using FRP.
Basic material properties, fabrication techniques, design concepts for strengthening in bending, shear, and confinement, and field evaluation techniques are presented.
The book is geared toward advanced undergraduate and graduate students, professional engineers, field engineers, and user agencies such as various departments of transportation.
A number of flowcharts and design examples are provided to facilitate easy and thorough understanding.
Since this is a very active research field, some of the latest techniques such as near
-surface mounting (NSM) techniques are not covered in this book.
Rather, the aim is to provide the fundamentals and basic information.
