The life cycle cost is the sum of all costs incurred during the lifetime of an item. In today’s global economy, the procurement decisions of many engineering products are not entirely made on initial procurement costs alone but on their life cycle costs. Past experiences indicate that product ownership cost often exceeds the procurement cost. Eliminating the need to consult many different sources, this single reference presents useful, up-to-date life cycle costing concepts for various industrial sectors. It explores the economics of life cycle costing, presents introductory engineering reliability and maintainability concepts, and includes numerous examples with solutions.

Most solids emit low-level seismic signals known as acoustic emission/ microseismic (AE/MS) activity. In recent years AE/MS techniques have been utilized for stability monitoring of underground structures such as mines, tunnels, natural gas and petroleum storage caverns, radioactive waste repositories, and geothermal reservoirs, as well as surface structures such as foundations, rock and soil slopes, bridge piers and abutments, and dams. This second volume addresses field studies on slope stability, underground mines, and underground storage facilities. Additionally, the work discusses a number of miscellaneous field studies and includes a large chapter on laboratory work.

Despite the recent progress of design criteria for bored and auger piles, they are still not fully under control and in acceptable synergism with the real pile foundation behavior. Although there has been much global research on deep foundation engineering, the strong and competitive market has absolutely favored the ingenuity of the contractor’s world. This fact is illustrated through developments in linked ideas on energy piles, one of the key topics in this book. This book presents the current status of screw or bore pile-soil interaction findings and developments.

With their ability to swell and shrink in relation to the environment’s water content, expansive soils are considered as geonatural hazards and form a challenge to geotechnical and construction engineers. Addressing the problems associated with these soils, this book provides expert contributions on the advances in the characteristics and treatment of expansive soils. Beginning with an overview on the nature, identification, and classification of expansive soils, it confronts issues including volume change characteristics, site characterization, the measurement and assessment of soil swelling potential, suction, lime and cement stabilization, and other stabilization methods.

Buddhima Indraratna and Wadud Salim

Knowledge of in situ rock stress and an understanding of the stress state in the earth’s crust is crucial for engineers working in underground construction, particularly tunneling, mining, and petroleum exploration and production. The location, orientation and support design of underground structures takes into account the magnitude and orientation of in situ rock stresses, considering such factors as gravity, topography, tectonics, residual stress, pore pressure change, and geological structures. In the last few years, there has been substantial development in techniques and in interpretation of the results. These papers cover measuring techniques, interpretation methods, and application of in situ stress in engineering practice.

This book details the strength, deformation, and degradation behavior of ballast and the effectiveness of geosynthetics in stabilizing recycled ballast. The authors discuss testing of ballast, including the strength, deformation, and degradation aspects of fresh and recycled ballast under monotonic and cyclic loading. They also examine the effectiveness of geosynthetics in stabilizing recycled ballast and present a stress-strain constitutive model for ballast incorporating particle breakage. Finally, a new range of particle gradations, balancing the strength and permeability requirements, has been proposed for future rail tracks. This will greatly aid both civil engineering students and railway engineers tasked with modernizing existing designs.

Reinforced Concrete Design of Tall Buildings Bungale S. Taranath, Ph.D., P.E., S.E. DeSimone Consulting Engineers PLLC, California, USA

Many concrete structures and elements of concrete infrastructure (roads, bridges, etc.) have exceeded their original design lives and are deteriorating to an extent where they are becoming dangerous. This breakdown can be internal or not obvious and therefore becomes evident only through detailed testing. Older methods of testing often involved damaging the structure, but this book provides a comprehensive review of the vital subject of the latest non-destructive evaluation of reinforced concrete structures. It provides an overview of deterioration and reviews classic testing methods as well.

Written by a premier designer of tall and ultra-tall buildings, this work explains the fundamental principles and state-of-art technologies required to build vertical structures as sound as they are eloquent. It provides a practical perspective on all aspects of reinforced concrete used in the design of these structures. Dozens of case studies of tall buildings throughout the world, many designed by the author, are used to explain why and how specific structural choices are made. Lucid and thorough, this resource provides the tools needed to derive systems that gracefully resist the battering forces of nature while addressing the needs of its occupants and developers.

Bridge Technology Consulting & Bridge Engineering Association, New York, New York, USA

Perhaps more than any other engineered structures, bridges represent the height of resourcefulness both in their design and their use of materials. Stone, brick, timber, wrought iron, steel, and concrete have all been effectively employed in a myriad of structural forms, many of which still stand as testimony to the brilliance of bridge designers throughout the history of civilization. This work provides both an admiring and a technical account of bridge engineering through an exploration of several remarkable examples. Demonstrating historic significance beyond their utilitarian function, the bridges encountered in these pages are true landmarks, as worthy of emulation as they are preservation.

Bridges with old design features that cannot safely accommodate current traffic volumes, and vehicle sizes and weights are classified as functionally obsolete. Such deficiencies may adversely affect the performance of transportation systems in emergency situations or for disaster response. A paradigm shift is necessary in the inspection and monitoring practices of the bridge engineering community to provide preventive maintenance and restore the public’s confidence in the safety of bridges. These selected papers from the Fifth New York City Bridge Conference cover a wide range of topics in the design, construction, maintenance, monitoring, and rehabilitation of bridge structures.

University of Dayton, Ohio, USA

Corrosion control has always been important to the aerospace industry, but an aging aircraft fleet has made it a more vital concern than ever. Corrosion can lead to non-availability of aircraft and, in extreme cases, catastrophic failure. As aircraft age, they are subjected to corrosive environments over longer periods that far exceed initial design considerations. The first part of this important book reviews aging aircraft and the cost of corrosion. Later chapters discuss corrosion fundamentals and examine corrosion monitoring, evaluation, and prediction. A final section provides an in-depth analysis of methods of corrosion protection and prevention.

A classic text on combustion and turbine engines, this book has been a bestseller in each edition since its publication in 1983. This third edition reflects the massive changes that have taken place in this field. The text is essentially selfcontained and assumes only a modest prior knowledge of physics and chemistry. The new edition provides important technical updates and applications while keeping the level approach and overall organization of the earlier editions. The most significant change has been the addition of coverage of alternative fuels. It can be used as a graduate level text, a design manual, and a research reference for gas turbine combustion.

This volume discusses the rapidly evolving technology combining computer simulation (typically finite element) and physical laboratory testing of two complementary substructures. Traditionally, numerical simulation and physical tests have been uncoupled and performed separately. In this cost-effective simulation paradigm, the coupled nature of the simulation allows for improved understanding, and more efficient design since the factor of safety does not have to be arbitrarily inflated to account for uncertainties of uncoupling. It is a multidisciplinary technology which relies heavily on control theory, computer science, numerical techniques and can be applied in aerospace, civil, and mechanical engineering.

Second Edition

University of Florida, Gainesville, USA

Loughborough University, UK

This second edition explains the thermodynamics background necessary for generating accurate maps of equilibrium states to predict behavior in a wide range of materials. It also illustrates which maps are best suited for specific realworld scenarios and thermodynamic problems. This book introduces more userfriendly computer software for converting more comprehensive databases into equilibrium maps. Examples and sample problems show how to apply appropriate strategies and develop the working equations of thermodynamics for systems of systematically increasing complexity.

In adopting a detailed, theoretical, component approach for solving tribological problems, the minutiae can be overwhelmingly complex and practical solutions elusive and uneconomic. The system perspective generally adopted in industry, however, can lead to shortcuts and oversimplifications. This book works out a compromise using a multi-physics approach to provide sufficient fundamental grounding and understanding of both detailed and approximate analyses thereby making design solutions possible on the first try. Tribological issues and solutions in piston systems, valve train systems, engine bearings, and drivetrain systems are addressed. New developments in materials, micro-engineering, nano-technology, and MEMS are also included.

Surfactants play a critical role in tribology, as they help control friction and wear while also controlling lubricant properties such as emulsification, demulsification, bioresistance, oxidation resistance, rust prevention, and corrosion resistance. This unique work brings together recent advances in the use of surfactants. Edited by leading pioneers in the field, with chapters written by international experts, it addresses theoretical, technical, and experimental aspects. It considers the role of surfactants in SAMs, MEMS, NEMS, manufacturing, automotive, rail, light and heavy machinery, and biomedical applications. This work will be of special interest to those interested in gaining an understanding of surfactants in tribology at the nanoscale.

Many tribological devices act as viable bearings in contrast to basic hydrodynamic theory. Similarly, powder films possess quasi-hydrodynamic features that allow them to act as conventional fluid film bearings. These phenomena have led to a novel definition of lubricants as intermediate layers, detailed in the present volume. Tribology of Interface Layers illustrates that the various lubrication modes, from dry to hydrodynamic to powder lubrication, overlap to such a degree that they exist on a tribological spectrum. Based on experimental and theoretical work, this text shows how the interdependence of powder and hydrodynamic lubrication exemplify this continuum in tribological processes.
