Engineering

From the world-renowned to the minor and the modest take a look at this lavishly illustrated look at some of Britain's best loved and iconic bridges.

Aimed at both theoretical explication and practical application. From basic to advanced, this book attempts to achieve theoretical rigorous and consistency. Each chapter is followed by a problem set. For teachers who teach foundation engineering and/or deep excavation courses and engineers.

This practical guide introduces the concept of limit state calculations, before focusing on shallow and deep foundations. The limit state combinations of actions are examined and practical calculation models of the bearing capacity for settlement are presented.

This manual for the design of tunnels and underground spaces in soft ground focuses on stability, prediction of ground movements and structural design of the lining. It develops from basic principles of soil-structure interaction, through the effects of construction sequence, to the effects of construction on surface or subsurface structures.

This covers all that is taught in graduate and undergraduate structural analysis courses, including the calculation of internal forces induced by different loads and used in the design. It instills a good and broad sense of structural behaviour under different loading and shows how to make intuitive checks of computing results.

This textbook addresses the current ground improvement techniques and also suits professionals. It introduces key methods, with the underpinning theory, design principles, and construction approaches. It contains numerous problems and worked examples.

This new edition updates and revises the best practical guide for on-site engineers to reflect the latest changes to management practice and new forms of contract. Written from the point of view of the project engineer it details their responsibilities, powers and duties.

The authors examine buildings of all kinds, from ancient domes like Istanbul's Hagia Sophia to the state-of-the-art Hartford Civic Arena. Their subjects range from the man-caused destruction of the Parthenon to the earthquake damage of 1989 in Armenia and San Francisco.

The most up-to-date dictionary of its kind. In over 8,000 entries, it covers the key areas of construction and civil engineering, construction technology and practice, construction management techniques and processes, as well as legal aspects such as contracts and procurement.
