Engineering

A highly illustrated textbook explaining the fundamentals of structural analysis, materials and design in one integrated volume. Each stage of the design process is illustrated by a realistic numerical example which is based on genuine design data.

This book focusses on the contribution of vernacular architecture to risk mitigation in responding to earthquakes, and will appeal to scientists and professionals interested in structural engineering, vernacular architecture, earthquake engineering, and seismic retrofitting techniques.

This connects basic earthquake engineering principles with practical structural design. It includes recent developments of RC structures and nonlinear analysis, structural intervention prior or post-earthquake, and now introduces seismic isolation and passive devices. Complies with European Codes for the seismic design of RC buildings.

Offers guidance to clients on the many ways in which they can positively influence the success of their projects - both during the planning, development and implementation stages, as well as during operation and final decommissioning. This guide presents the examples of good client practice and practice initiatives in the UK construction industry.

Provides the core geotechnical engineering principles, practical techniques, and the major questions engineers should keep in mind when dealing with real-world engineering challenges.

Deep Excavations: a practical manual assembles the practical rules and details for the efficient and economical execution of deep excavations.

A single stop, comprehensive reference for practising engineers.
