Engineering

Contains approximately one thousand main entries describing more than 1200 individual bridge structures and hundreds of full colour photographs.

This concise introduction to the design of structural elements outlines design principles and guidance in line with Eurocodes for reinforced concrete, structural steelwork and steel/concrete composites, masonry and timber, with design philosophy, sustainability, basic structural concepts, and material properties. Companion website included.

This code-independent and comprehensive collection of fully worked and graded examples shows undergraduates how to analyse different types of structure, with the main analysis techniques, with some detailed mathematics. Now with pin-jointed frames and arches and cables, with more on the direct stiffness method and influence lines for beams.

Site Assessment and Remediation for Environmental Engineers provides upper-level undergraduate and graduate students with practical, project-oriented knowledge of how to investigate and clean up a site contaminated with chemicals and hazardous waste.

A special 90th anniversary edition of the definitive story of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, one of the world's most amazing engineering feats - a structure that has become an international icon.

This guide focuses on design approaches for concrete structures reinforced in an unconventional way by steel profiles. It draws on the European Smartcoco research project, of experimentation and numerical modelling, giving practical guidance for designers and introducing the subject for researchers and graduate students.

Geotechnical design codes worldwide are increasingly being directed to reliability-based design, for which the characterization of model uncertainty is a critical element. This practical book is based on a global load test database which provides information on the foundation, site or soil investigation, and load test results.

This book presents students with the key fundamental elements of structural analysis and covers as much material as is needed for a single-semester course, allowing for a full understanding of indeterminate structural analysis methods without being overwhelming.
