Anyone involved with structural design must maintain a functional understanding of wood, steel, and concrete design principles. Covering all of these materials, this book provides a self-contained authoritative source that elaborates on the most recent practices together with the code-connected fundamentals that other books often take for granted. The text presents the LRFD approach for designing structural elements according to the latest codes. Written primarily for architecture and construction management students, it is equally suitable for those in civil and structural engineering programs.
Texas A&M University, Corpus Christi, USA
Written by a renowned teacher, researcher, and professional consultant in applied dynamics, this book represents a revolutionary approach to modern engineering dynamics analysis—one you can assimilate quickly and easily to get immediate results. The eleventh edition includes a new chapter on Lagrangian dynamics, and many new and revised examples and chapter problems. The book begins by establishing the premise that most dynamics engineers are developing and analyzing models to predict motion, and that the subject of differential equations is the natural language for dynamics. http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9781482250251 Print ISBN: 978-1-4822-5025-1 eBook ISBN: 978-1-4822-5027-5 April 2015, 8-1/2 x 11, 472 Suggested Price: $129.95 / £82.00

The second part introduces the mathematical concepts of group theory, and applies these to the vibration of a diverse range of symmetric systems, demonstrating the power of this relatively new and novel computational approach. http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9780415522564 Print ISBN: 978-0-415-52256-4 eBook ISBN: 978-1-4987-2520-0 November 2014, 6-1/8 x 9-1/4, 276, Soft Cover Suggested Price: $59.95 / £35.00
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. http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9781482231489 Print ISBN: 978-1-4822-3148-9 eBook ISBN: 978-1-4822-3151-9 July 2014, 6-1/8 x 9-1/4, 295 Suggested Price: $119.95 / £76.99

George Washington University, Washington, D.C., USA
An Introduction The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia
This textbook introduces readers to the principles of wastewater treatment and explains how to design unit processes used in municipal wastewater treatment operations. It covers emerging concerns, regulations, reaction kinetics, reactor design, environmental microbiology, and natural and engineered processes. It also discusses solids processing and removal as well as energy production from wastewater. Based on a course taught by the author for the past 18 years, this is an accessible textbook for undergraduate and graduate students. It is also a handy reference for industry professionals.
This textbook deals with the topic of applied hydrodynamics. The lecture material is grouped into two complementary sections: ideal fluid flow and real fluid flow. Ideal fluid flow deals with two- and possibly threedimensional fluid motions that are not subject to boundary friction effects, and real fluid flow considers the flow regions affected by boundary friction and turbulent shear. The lecture material is designed as an intermediate course in fluid dynamics for senior undergraduate and postgraduate students in civil, environmental, hydraulic and mechanical engineering.

Probability, Statistics, and Reliability for Engineers and Scientists Third Edition Bilal M. Ayyub University of Maryland, College Park, USA
Richard H. McCuen University of Maryland, College Park, USA; Journal of American Water Resources Association
The third edition presents probability, statistics, reliability, and risk methods with an ideal balance of theory and applications. It places increased emphasis on simulation, applying it progressively with projects that continue in each chapter. This edition also features expanded discussions of the analysis of variance and a thorough treatment of Monte Carlo simulation. The authors not only clearly establish the limitations, advantages, and disadvantages of each method, but also show that data analysis is a continuum rather than the isolated application of different methods. http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9781439809518 Print ISBN: 978-1-4398-0951-8 eBook ISBN: 978-1-4398-0952-5 April 2011, 7 x 10, 663 Suggested Price: $132.95 / £85.00

Infrastructure Investment An Engineering Perspective David G. Carmichael University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia
Prior to investment in an infrastructure project, it is necessary to establish its feasibility, both in monetary and nonmonetary terms. Nonmonetary considerations include social and environmental. Future demand and operating and maintenance costs for infrastructure are uncertain; lifetime and investment parameters are uncertain. This book provides a methodology for establishing the feasibility of infrastructure, or any man-made asset, and for options to modify or adapt, given future uncertainty such as that associated with climate change. http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9781466576698 Print ISBN: 978-1-4665-7669-8 eBook ISBN: 978-1-4987-2393-0 October 2014, 6-1/8 x 9-1/4, 256 Suggested Price: $89.95 / £57.99

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 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 and offers a course of study for understanding, characterizing, modeling, and quantifying randomly varying phenomena. http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9781420044973 Print ISBN: 978-1-4200-4497-3 eBook ISBN: 978-1-4200-4498-0 September 2009, 6-1/4 x 9-1/4, 1064 Suggested Price: $159.95 / £102.00
