Airport Engineering

First published in 1979, Airport Engineering by Ashford and Wright, has become a classic textbook in the education of airport engineers and transportation planners.

Over the past twenty years, construction of new airports in the US has waned as construction abroad boomed.

This new edition of Airport Engineering will respond to this shift in the growth of airports globally, with a focus on the role of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO),

while still providing the best practices and tested fundamentals that have made the book successful for over 30 years.

Design of Hydraulic Gates

This second edition of Design of Hydraulic Gates maintains the same goal as the original:

to be used as a textbook and a manual of design of gates, presenting

the main aspects of design, manufacture, installation and operation of hydraulic gates, while introducing new products, technologies and calculation procedures.

This edition included new chapters on intake gates and trashrack design, highlighting the aspects of safety, operational and maintenance procedures.

To improve the strength against structural failure of intake trashracks, the author proposes a series of rigid calculation assumptions, design parameters and manufacturing procedures, which will certainly result in safer trashracks.

Some 340 drawings and photographs, 82 tables, 107 references and 23 worked examples help the reader to understand the basic concepts and calculation methods presented.

Bridge Hydraulics

The design of bridges across rivers and streams is a major component of many civil engineering projects.

The size of waterways must be kept reasonably small for reasons of economy and yet

be large enough to allow floods to pass.

Bridge Hydraulics is the first book to consider both arched and rectangular waterway openings in detail and to describe all of the main methods of analysis.

With clear examples and relevant case studies, using both laboratory models and full- size bridges in the field,it is not only a thorough and accessible introduction to bridge hydraulics,

but also a guide that will enable engineers to produce authoritative analyses and more effective designs.

Combined Joints in Steel Connection Ebook

Combined_Joints in Steel Connection Ebook gives essential guidance for structural steelwork connections for use in buildings. They have been produced by the SCI/BCSA Connections Group, which was established in 1987 to bring together academics, consultants and steelwork contractors to work on the development of authoritative design guides for structural steelwork connections.

Simple connections

SCI P358 (2014 reprint) provides procedures for designing joints in steel-framed structures in accordance with BS EN 1993-1-8 and its accompanying National Annex, and with BS EN 1993-1-1 and its National Annex. Connections between beams and columns using non-preloaded and preloaded bolts are included. Connections between beams and hot finished structural hollow section columns using the Flowdrill and Hollo-Bolt systems are also incluhttps://www.steelconstruction.info/Steel_construction_products#Structural_hollow_sectionsded. Design procedures are provided for:

Beam to beam and beam to column connections
Column splices
Column bases
Bracing connections
Special connections

The revisions in the 2014 reprint include revised tying resistances for full depth end plates for deeper beams, revised resistances for RHS bases, an additional example using blind bolts, revised guidance for bracing connections and typographical corrections. Revisions are marked with a black line in the margin.

Construction Management of Steel Construction

This educational manual was developed for the American Institute of Steel Construction

(AISC) to present the principal project management activities and issues for procuring and

implementing steel construction.

The manual was developed for use in undergraduate university level construction

management programs.

It should also be useful in project management courses in construction engineering,

civil engineering, architectural engineering, and architecture programs.

The manual is intended as a supplemental text which may be incorporated

into junior and senior level projectmanagement, estimating, and scheduling courses.

The manual was developed in two educational modules: Module One addresses

project management activities and Module Two examines scheduling

and estimating issues that pertain to steel construction.

Both educational modules have been designed to help students understand

the unique roles and relationships of the general contractor, steel fabricator,

erector, specialty contractors, suppliers, architect, structural engineer, and

owner in the construction of a structural steel building frame.

While the manual has been specifically developed to address steel construction,

many of the issues presented are also applicable to the management of other

construction subcontracts.

Therefore, this manual may serve as a detailed case study of steel construction which

will help students achieve a broader understanding of construction project management, estimating, and scheduling practices.

It is hoped that faculty teaching this material, will find this steel case study useful as they present the principles of project management, estimating, and scheduling in their courses.

THE BEHAVIOUR AND DESIGN OF STEEL STRUCTURES TO EC3 (4th EDITION)

The fully revised fourth edition of this successful textbook fills a void which will arise when British designers start using the European steel code EC3 instead of the current steel code BS5950.

The principal feature of the forth edition is the discussion of the behaviour of steel structures and the criteria used in design according to the British version of EC3.

Thus it serves to bridge the gap which too often occurs when attention is concentrated on methods of analysis and the sizing of structural components.

Because emphasis is placed on the development of an understanding of behaviour, many analytical details are either omitted in favour of more descriptive explanations, or are relegated to appendices.

The many worked examples both illustrate the behaviour of steel structures and exemplify details of the design process.

The Behaviour and Design of Steel Structures to EC3 is a key text for senior undergraduate and graduate students, and an essential reference tool for practising structural engineers in the UK and other countries.

Reinforced Concrete Design of Tall Buildings

Design concept is an impressive term that we use to describe the intrinsic essentials

of design. The concept encompasses reasons for our choice of design loads,

analytical techniques, design procedures, preference for particular structural systems,

and of course, our desire for economic optimization of the structure.

To assist engineers in tackling the design challenge, this introductory chapter is

devoted to developing a “feeling” for behavior of structural systems.

It is this “feeling” for the nature of loads and their effect on structural systems that

paves the way for our understanding of structural behavior and allows the designer

to match structural systems to specific types of loading.

For example, designers of tall buildings, recognizing the cost premium for carrying

lateral loads by frame action alone, select a more appropriate system such as a belt

and outrigger wall or a tubular system instead.

As structural engineers, our primary task is to take someone else’s vision of a project,

convertit into analytical and numerical models, and then produce a set of buildable

documents.

However, the current trend in engineering education seems to focus more on the behavior

of computer-based mathematical models while seldom acknowledging their fallibilities.

Given this scenario, one may wonder if the era of engineers who endorsed structural

attitudes based on their qualitative knowledge of the behavior of the structures is gone.

Planning and Design of Airports Fifth Edition

The presence of civil aviation has affected our economic way oflife,

it has made changes in our social and cultural viewpoints, and has had a hand in shaping the course of political history.

The sociological changes brought about by air transportation are
perhaps as important as those it has brought about in the economy.

People have been brought closer together and so have reached a better understanding of interregional problems.Industry has found newways to do business.

The opportunity for more frequent exchanges ofinformation has been facilitated, and air transport is enabling more people to enjoy the cultures and traditions of distant lands.
