Offers an overview of the aspects of geology that are most significant to civil engineers. This title covers sections that include those devoted to the main rock types, weathering, ground investigation, rock mass strength, failures of old mines, subsidence on peats and clays, sinkholes on limestone and chalk, and water in landslides.

Eurocode 0 is considered the primary document in the Eurocode suite and establishes for the structural Eurocodes the principles and requirements for safety and serviceability of structures. More importantly, EN 1990 must be applied whenever the Eurocodes 1 to 9 are used.

Principles of Pavement Engineering, 2nd edition builds on the previous edition, expanding on the fundamental principles of pavement engineering, concentrating on an understanding of the behaviour of pavement materials and of the real meaning of tests carried out on those materials.

This comprehensive guide to the design of foundations for tall buildings outlines various foundation options followed by the general principles of foundation design applied to tall buildings. It differentiates the preliminary, detailed and final design stages.

This is the story of the replacement for the Morandi Bridge in Genoa which collapsed depositing a number of drivers to their deaths a couple years ago. Renzo Piano's story especially collected in July 2020, a few weeks after the opening of the bridge, was recorded and faithfully transcribed in the volume.

This outlines methods for the analysis and design of shallow and deep foundations, with particularly reference to Hong Kong and China. It covers planning and designing, with some computational tools for realistic analysis, along with new and innovation construction methods and case studies.

This compendium of essential formulae, definitions, tables also gives clear and succinct explanations along with over 300 line drawings and 500 worked examples. It works as a reference for engineering students, technicians, scientists and professionals and as a revision guide for BTEC Nationals, Higher Nationals and NVQs.
