Nagoya Institute of Technology, Japan
The book covers fundamental concepts related to mechanics and direct observation, and those required to design reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Codes change over time depending on factors that have little to do with the fundamental concepts mentioned, and have more to do with the markets, construction practices, and transient academic views. For beginning engineers it is difficult to distinguish between rules based on consensus (codes) and fundamentals. This book focuses on the latter to prepare use and adaptation to the constant changes of the former.

Andrew Whyte Curtin University of Technology, Australia
University of Delaware, Newark, USA
Using case studies to illustrate principles and processes, this book is a guide to designing, costing, and implementing a civil engineering project. It emphasizes correctly quantifying and planning works to give reliable cost estimates to minimize your risk of losing business through over-costing or losing profits through under-estimating. It also outlines how to make sure you meet local ethical and legal requirements. The main territories covered are Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Southeast Asia, and the Commonwealth countries, although the principles are internationally relevant.
Many of the problems that engineers face involve randomly varying phenomena of one sort or another. But if characterized properly, even such randomness and the resulting uncertainty are subject to rigorous mathematical analysis. This book provides students with a fundamental understanding of random phenomena and a working knowledge of how to model and analyze such phenomena. It explains how to use probability and statistics appropriately to deal with uncertainty in engineering problems.
