Structural Engineering Worked Examples for the Design of Concrete Structures to Eurocode 2 Tony Threlfall Consulting Engineer, UK
“This publication covers the design and detailing of common structural concrete elements and structures to Eurocode 2. Its contents are detailed, thorough and helpful. Readers are led through the design process with clear commentary, references and in some instances, the author’s opinions. It is a welcome addition to Eurocode 2 resources. ... The contents cover the topics that designers will come across in day to day structural concrete design. They therefore cover those subjects that will be of most interest to those unfamiliar to Eurocode.” —Charles Goodchild, The Concrete Centre, Gillingham House, England
Packed with worked examples, this practical design guide illustrates how Eurocode 2 may be used in practice. A short introduction outlines the fundamental objectives of design and referring to relevant sources of information for loads and material properties. The book then presents complete and detailed designs of six archetypal structures, civil structures, and buildings. The comprehensive treatment of the variety of structures in the new code makes this a unique and invaluable work.

Failures in Concrete Structures
Displacement and Force Methods
Case Studies in Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete
S.T. Mau California State University, Northridge, USA
Robin Whittle
This indispensable textbook is designed to bridge the gap between engineering practice and education. Acknowledging the fact that virtually all computer structural analysis programs are based on the matrix displacement method of analysis, the author begins with the displacement method and then introduces the force method of analysis. The book also shows how these methods are applied, particularly to trusses and to beams and rigid frames. Other topics covered include influence lines, non-prismatic members, composite structures, secondary stress analysis, and the limits of linear and static structural analysis.
This book presents a selection of the author’s firsthand experience with incidents related to reinforced and prestressed concrete structures, helping readers gain an understanding of errors that can occur in order to avoid making them. He includes mistakes discovered at the design stage, ones that led to failures, and some that involved partial structure collapse—all of which required remedial action to ensure safety. The book focuses on specific incidents that occurred at various points in the construction process, including mistakes related to structural misunderstanding, extrapolation of codes of practice, and poor construction.

TimeDependent Behaviour of Concrete Structures Raymond Ian Gilbert University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia
Gianluca Ranzi University of Sydney, Australia
Serviceability failures of concrete structures involving excessive cracking or deflection are relatively common, even in structures that comply with code requirements. This is often as a result of a failure to adequately account for the time-dependent deformations of concrete in the design of the structure. Providing detailed information, this book helps engineers to rationally predict the time-varying deformation of concrete structures under typical in-service conditions. It gives analytical methods to help anticipate time-dependent cracking, the gradual change in tension stiffening with time, creep-induced deformations, and the load independent strains caused by shrinkage and temperature changes. The calculation procedures are illustrated with worked examples. Catalog no. Y100910, September 2010, 443 pp. ISBN: 978-0-415-49384-0, $146.95 / £94.00

Construction Engineering Concrete Mix Design, Quality Control and Specification Fourth Edition Ken Day
SelfConsolidating Concrete Applying what we know Joseph A. Daczko
Consultant, Australia
BASF, USA
James Aldred
Self-consolidating, or self-compacting, concrete (SCC) uses mixture proportioning techniques and admixture technology to create a concrete mixture with increased fluidity, thereby avoiding the need for mechanical consolidation/vibration. SCC mixtures with various performance levels can be produced in the laboratory, but the know-how is sometimes lacking to do this on site. This book presents a foundation for consistently producing and applying SCC in a daily production environment. It links science with practical application and will be useful for both new practitioners and those already using SCC. The author uses stories and case studies throughout as examples of specific types of applications.

Unsaturated Soil Mechanics in Geotechnical Practice Geoffrey E. Blight University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa
There are other books on unsaturated soil mechanics, but this book is different. In most climatic zones, rainfall varies during the year and the depth of the water table varies sympathetically. In applying unsaturated soil mechanics in practice, it is therefore important to realize and allow for the probability that soil will, either seasonally or occasionally, pass from the unsaturated to the saturated state and even from unsaturation to dryness. This is the only book that looks specifically at this essential practical aspect. Catalog no. K14865, July 2013, 640 pp. ISBN: 978-0-415-62118-2, $149.95 / £95.00 Also available as an eBook

Arun Prasad Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India
In tropical areas, residual soil layers are often extensive and may continue downwards for hundreds of meters before unweathered rock is reached. Since most foundations, excavations, and embankments are built on such soils, and as residual soils are often used as construction materials, it is vital that the properties and peculiarities of tropical residual soils are well understood. This handbook is a complete reference for engineers working in soil and foundation engineering in tropical areas. Many aspects of tropical residual soils are discussed, including a range of engineering applications. Region- and country-specific sections are included, which examine typical characteristics and soil conditions.
Covering a range of roles and challenges that face an engineering geologist, Steve Hencher outlines the fundamental role of engineering geology in civil engineering projects and assesses the various tools that an engineering geologist brings to such a project.

Urban Drainage Third Edition David Butler University of Exeter, UK
John W. Davies
Modelling is a vital part of all engineering design, yet many hydraulic engineers are not fully aware of the assumptions involved in the process. These assumptions can have important consequences when choosing the best model to inform design decisions. This book helps identify the most appropriate form of analysis for the hydraulic engineering application in question. The book also provides guidance on the range of accuracy to be expected of the model simulations and how they should be related to the prototype. Applications to models include open channel systems, closed conduit flows, storm drainage systems, estuaries, coastal and nearshore structures, and hydraulic structures. Catalog no.
