Engineering

Engineering in Plain Sight is a beautifully illustrated field guide to the infrastructure around us.

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.

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.

Critical Infrastructures Resilience will be of interest to students of engineering and policy. It identifies solutions that are scientifically credible, data driven, and engineering principles.

An elegant, simple and theoretically coherent design framework. Students users will benefit from the coverage of seismology, structural dynamics, reinforced concrete members, and capacity design approaches, which allows the book to be used as a foundation text in earthquake engineering - to both ACI 318 and Eurocode 8.
