Civil Engineering PE Breadth and Depth PDF Book

Fully updated for the latest standards and exam content, this complete guide is the only resource engineers need to pass the Civil Engineering PE Exam the first time.

Civil Engineering All-in-One PE Exam Guide, Third Edition is the only resource an engineer needs to pass the PE-CIVIL exam administered by the National Council of Examiners in Engineering and Surveying (NCEES).

This exam is required by all 50 states for PE certification. The book is formatted to mirror the five subdisciplines of the exam–Structural, Geotechnical, Water Resources, Transportation, and Construction—and follows accepted PE syllabus content.

End-of-chapter problems and solutions help you prepare for the exam questions. The third edition has been revised to include changes in design standards for reinforced concrete, structural steel, highway design, and traffic engineering.

Chapters on structural engineering are expanded to help you prepare for the new Structural PE exam and a brand-new chapter on Building Analysis and Design is included.

New chapter on Building Analysis and Design Updated for changes in codes, design standards, and PE syllabus End-of-chapter practice problems and solutions Covers all material on the NCEES PE Civil Exam Formatted as both a study tool and an on-the-job reference Updated structural chapters will aid those preparing for the 16-hour Structural PE Exam.

Dynamic Behavior Of Concrete And Seismic Engineering Free PDF

The static and quasi-static behaviors of concrete have been the subject of so many works that we often consider that they are quite well known and mastered as far as modeling with a view to structure calculations is concerned. However, the same is not true of concrete’s dynamic behavior, because of the complexity of the tests needed to reach pertinent loading rates.

Construction Management and Design of Industrial Concrete and Steel Structures Free PDF

The development of any country depends on the rate of industrial growth. Currently, there is a race in industrial projects worldwide. The development of the industry depends on the development of the energy reserve by investment in projects of oil and gas exploration, onshore and offshore, which require new facilities or rehabilitation of existing facilities.

At the same time, there are projects that are running in parallel to deliver electricity from electrical power stations or through nuclear power plants.

In this book, the term industrial structures means all the reinforced concrete and steel structures from a small factory to a nuclear plant. This book will be an overview of industrial project management, design, construction, and
eventually providing a maintenance plan. Industrial projects, in most cases, are huge and can cost a billion dollars for one project, so the client, engineering firm, and contractor are in the same boat until they achieve project success through a strong management system and technical competence.

Therefore, this book discusses all items that interface among these main three partners.

A Studio Approach 2020 inclouding with Sap2000 Applications Free PDF

Structural engineering has an intellectually rich and aesthetically pleasing tradition of blending design
and analysis.

The goal of this book is to reinvent this rich tradition with the hope of nurturing the growth of the next generation of practicing engineers and architects. Today, we have a tremendous opportunity to link design, analysis and computational thinking in a single, cohesive, graphical approach to structures.

Today, we can truly integrate structure into architecture, in a way that was intuited by brilliant designers of the past. Sophisticated programmable 3D computer graphics open up a new worldview, one which allows students to see how mathematical knowledge can be used to solve architectural design problems.

Linking parametric modeling, with graphical techniques of structural analysis and with prototype model construction, will deeply impact the designers of the next generation.

Highway Engineering – Pavement, Materials ans Control Of Quality Free PDF

Highway engineering is the term that replaced the traditional term road engineering used in the past, after the introduction of modern highways. Highway engineering is a vast subject that involves planning, design, construction, maintenance, and management of roads, bridges, and tunnels for the safe and effective transportation of people and goods.

This book concentrates on the design, construction, maintenance, and management of pavements for roads/highways. It also includes pavement materials since they are an integral part of pavements. It has been written for graduates, postgraduates as well as practicing engineers and laboratory staff and incorporates the author’s 30 years of involvement in teaching, researching, and practicing the subject of highway engineering.

Content :

Soils
Aggregates
Bitumen, bituminous binders and anti-stripping agents
Laboratory tests and properties of bitumen and bitumen emulsion
Hot asphalts
Cold asphalts
Fundamental mechanical properties of asphalts and laboratory tests
Production, transportation, laying, and compaction of hot mix asphalt
Quality control of production and acceptance of asphalts

Finite Element Analysis for Civil Engineering with DIANA Software Free PDF

This book systematically introduces readers to the finite element analysis software DIANA (DIsplacement ANAlyzer) and its applications in civil engineering. Developed by TNO Corporation in the 1970s, DIANA is frequently used in civil engineering and engineering mechanics.

Unlike the software user’s manual, which provides a comprehensive introduction and theoretical analysis, this book presents a simplified overview of the basic background theory to help beginners master the software quickly. It also discusses GUI operation and the command console in Python language, and includes examples involving classical modeling operations to help readers review each section.

Both the book and DIANA itself are valuable resources for students and researchers in all the structural engineering fields, such as civil engineering, bridge engineering, geotechnical engineering, tunnel engineering, underground structural engineering, irrigation, municipal engineering and fire engineering.

Testing and Characterization of Asphalt Materials and Pavement Structures Free PDF

This book presents new studies dealing with the attempts made by the scientists and practitioners to address contemporary issues in pavement engineering such as aging and modification of asphalt binders, performance evaluation of warm mix asphalt, and mechanical-based pavement structure analysis, etc..

Asphalt binder and mixture have been widely used to construct flexible pavements. Mechanical and Chemical characterizations of asphalt materials and integration of these properties into pavement structures and distresses analysis are of great importance to design a sustainable flexible pavement.

This book includes discusses and new results dealing with these issues. Papers were selected from the 5th GeoChina International Conference 2018 – Civil Infrastructures Confronting Severe Weathers and Climate Changes: From Failure to Sustainability, held on July 23 to 25, 2018 in HangZhou, China.
