Selected Works of Man-Chung Tang
by Man-Chung Tang (T Y Lin International Group, China)Translated by: Jingyi Guo (Chongqing Jiaotong University, China)
This book is a collection of recent articles by Dr Man-Chung Tang on the design of bridges. Based on his years of experience in bridgebuilding, the book is divided into three parts: Ideas, Conception and Others. Part 1: Ideas, covers the architecture in bridge design — from the artistic expression to human emotion of an engineer to integrate the arts on the basis of engineering. Part 2: Conception, looks into the implementation of bridge design from the perspectives of aesthetics, safety, economy, and service life cycle. Finally, in Part 3: Others, the author presents his design thinking about bridge development in China and the rest of the world. The book explains the theories in bridge design in simple language, and is suitable for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and practitioners specialising in bridge engineering, civil engineering and other related fields.
• The book includes the bridge design concepts and innovations of a professional designer based on the writer’s personal experiences in bridge engineering • The book shows the achievements of technical innovation as well as expounds on the integration of engineering and the arts, to show how this interdisciplinary synthesis has enabled advancements in bridge building • May help young engineers learn about and conceptualize bridge structures
Readership: Advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and practitioners specialising in bridge building and bridge engineering construction in civil engineering and other related fields.

by D JNeedham (University of Birmingham, UK), S McGovern (University of Birmingham, UK) & J A Leach (University of Birmingham, UK)
The monograph addresses a canonical problem in linear water wave theory, through the development-detailed, asymptotic analysis of contour integrals in the complex plane. It is anticipated that the methodology developed in the monograph will have applications to many associated linear wave evolution problems, to which the reader may adapt the approach developed in the monograph. The approach adopted in the monograph is novel, and there are no existing publications for comparison.
Readership: Graduate students and researchers.
