This text introduces engineering and architectural students to the basic
techniques required for analyzing the majority of structures and the elements of which most structures are composed, including beams, frames, trusses, arches, and cables. Although the authors assume that readers have completed basic courses in statics and strength of materials, we briefly review the basic techniques from these courses the first time we mention them. To clarify the discussion, we use many carefully chosen examples to illustrate the various analytic techniques introduced, and whenever possible, we select examples confronting engineers in real-life professional practice

Design Analysis of Beams, Circular Plates and Cylindrical Tanks on Elastic Foundations

Design Analysis of Beams, Circular Plates and Cylindrical Tanks on Elastic Foundations

This book deals with computer-based linear-elastic analyses of beams, strips, circular plates and circular-cylindrical tanks resting on elastic foundations and/or unyielding supports. Winkler springs and smooth, homogeneous, elastic half space foundation beds are employed.

Correlations of Soil Properties

Correlations of Soil Properties

 

An essential guide to improving preliminary geotechnical analysis and design from limited data

Soil Properties and their Correlations, Second Edition provides a summary of commonly-used soil engineering properties and gives a wide range of correlations between the various properties, presented in the context of how they will be used in geotechnical design.

The book is divided into 11 chapters: Commonly-measured properties; Grading and plasticity; Density; Permeability, Consolidation and settlement; Shear strength; California bearing ratio; Shrinkage and swelling characteristics; Frost susceptibility; Susceptibility to combustion; and Soil-structure interfaces. In addition, there are two appendices: Soil classification systems; and Sampling methods.

This new, more comprehensive, edition provides material that would be of practical assistance to those faced with the problem of having to estimate soil behaviour from little or no laboratory test data.

Key features:

  • Soil properties explained in practical terms.
  • A large number of correlations between different soil properties.
  • A valuable aid for assessing design values of properties.
  • Clear statements on practical limitations and accuracy.

An invaluable source of reference for experienced professionals working on geotechnical design, it  will also give students and early-career engineers an in-depth appreciation of the appropriate use of each property and the pitfalls to avoid.

Contaminant Hydrogeology 3-rd Edition

Contaminant Hydrogeology 3-rd Edition

 

Waveland Press, 2018
pdf, 663 pages, english
ISBN-13: 978-1478632795
ISBN-10: 1478632798

Tremendous progress has been made in the field of remediation technologies since the second edition of Contaminant Hydrogeology was published two decades ago, and its content is more important than ever. Recognizing the extensive advancement and research taking place around the world, the authors have embraced and worked from a larger global perspective. Boving and Kreamer incorporate environmental innovation in studying and treating groundwater/soil contamination and the transport of those contaminants while building on Fetter’s original foundational work.

Thoroughly updated, expanded, and reorganized, the new edition presents a wealth of new material, including new discussions of emerging and potential contaminant sources and their characteristics like deep well injection, fracking fluids, and in situ leach mining. New sections cover BET and Polanyi adsorption potential theory, vapor transport theory, the introduction of the Capillary and Bond Numbers, the partitioning interwell tracer testing technique for investigating NAPL sites, aerial photographic interpretation, geophysics, immunological surveys, high resolution vertical sampling, flexible liner systems, groundwater tracers, and much more.

Contaminant Hydrogeology is intended as a textbook in upper level courses in mass transport and contaminant hydrogeology, and remains a valuable resource for professionals in both the public and private sectors

Staircase Analysis and Design Spreadsheet

Staircase Analysis and Design Spreadsheet

 

Staircases provide means of movement from one floor to another in a structure. Staircases
consist of a number of steps with landings at suitable intervals to provide comfort and safety
for the users.

Types of Stairs
For purpose of design, stairs are classified into two types; transversely, and longitudinally
supported.
a- Transversely supported (transverse to the direction of movement):
Transversely supported stairs include:
§ Simply supported steps supported by two walls or beams or a combination of both.
§ Steps cantilevering from a wall or a beam.
§ Stairs cantilevering from a central spine beam.
b- Longitudinally supported (in the direction of movement):
These stairs span between supports at the top and bottom of a flight and unsupported at the
sides. Longitudinally supported stairs may be supported in any of the following manners:
a. Beams or walls at the outside edges of the landings.
b. Internal beams at the ends of the flight in addition to beams or walls at the outside edges of
the landings.
c. Landings which are supported by beams or walls running in the longitudinal direction.
d. A combination of (a) or (b), and (c).

e. Stairs with quarter landings associated with open-well stairs.

Introduction to Tunnel Construction (Applied Geotechnics)

Introduction to Tunnel Construction (Applied Geotechnics)

 

This book seeks to provide an introduction to tunnel construction for
people who have little experience of the subject. Tunnelling is an exciting
subject and is unlike any other form of construction, as the ground
surrounding the tunnel is an integral part of the final structure and plays
a pivotal role in its stability. The ‘art’ of tunnelling cannot be learnt purely
from books and a lot of essential decisions are based on engineering
judgement, experience and even emotion. There is often no single answer
to any question: often the response has to be ‘it depends’.
So how can this book help the reader to understand tunnelling? The aim
of the book is to provide the reader with background information so that
he or she can either make an informed decision and/or consult more
specialist references on a specific topic. It will hopefully give the reader the
tools needed to critically assess tunnel construction techniques and to realize
that not all can be learnt from textbooks. In addition, the book hopes to
demonstrate the breadth of the subject and that to become a tunnelling
expert, many years of experience are required.

Tunnelling is an extensive topic and so the objective of this book is to
provide a general knowledge base and guidance for further reading. It not
only concentrates on different tunnel construction techniques but also brings
in associated relevant topics such as site investigation, which have a large
impact on the final tunnel design and its subsequent construction. It is
important to note that tunnels in the context of this book include all types
of tunnels not only the larger-scale metro, road and rail tunnels, but also
utility tunnels for water, sewerage and cables.
This textbook aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to tunnel
construction. It is aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students with
little or no previous experience and knowledge of tunnel construction, as
well as recently graduated engineers who find themselves working in this
exciting field of civil engineering.
