Engineering Modelling and Analysis David Walker, Michael Leonard, Andrew Metcalfe and Martin Lambert, all at University of Adelaide, Australia Introducing engineering students to numerical analysis and computing, this book covers a range of topics suitable for the first three years of a four year undergraduate engineering degree. The teaching of computing to engineers is hampered by the lack of suitable problems for the students to tackle, so much effort has gone into making the problems realistic and relevant, while at the same time solvable for undergraduates. Taking a balanced approach to teaching computing and computer methods at the same time, this book satisfies the need to be able to use computers (using both formal languages such as Fortran and other applications such as Matlab and Microsoft Excel), and the need to be able to solve realistic engineering problems.

Graeme Dandy, David Walker, Trevor Daniell and Robert Warner, all at University of Adelaide, Australia Providing students with a commonsense approach to the solution of engineering problems and packed full of practical case studies to illustrate the role of the engineer, the type of work involved and the methodologies employed in engineering practice, this textbook is a comprehensive introduction to the scope and nature of engineering. It outlines a conceptual framework for undertaking engineering projects then provides a range of techniques and tools for solving the sorts of problems that commonly arise. Focusing in particular on civil engineering design, problem solving, and the range of techniques and tools it employs. Designed specifically for introductory courses on undergraduate engineering programs, this is an invaluable resource for all new engineering undergraduates as well as non-specialist readers.
Integrated Geo-Structural Design Because of their complexity and scale, metro structures capture all the essential aspects of a cut-and-cover structure, and so given primary focus in this book. The design of a metro construction is outlined coherently and in detail; and the reader is shown how to apply this design process equally well to other, relatively simple, cut-and-cover structures. Geotechnical and structural engineering principles are combined with both design and construction practice to make this book a unique one-stop resource for engineers working on any cut-and-cover structure.

The Behaviour and Design of Steel Structures to EC3 N.S. Trahair, University of Sydney, Australia, M.A. Bradford, University of New South Wales, Australia, D.A. Nethercot and L. Gardner, both at Imperial College, UK The fully revised fourth edition of this successful textbook fills a void which will arise when British designers start using the European steel code EC3 instead of the current steel code BS5950. The principal feature of the fourth edition is the discussion of the behaviour of steel structures and the criteria used in design according to the British version of EC3. Thus it serves to bridge the gap which too often occurs when attention is concentrated on methods of analysis and the sizing of structural components.

Durability Design of Concrete Structures in Severe Environments Odd E. Gjørv, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway By designing in corrosion prevention and through preventive maintenance, you can substantially reduce the overall service cost of a concrete structure. Taking a probabilistic approach to the engineering design issues, this book tackles the challenge of controlling durability and service life of concrete structures in severe environments. Many durability problems are caused by poor quality control as well as special problems during concrete construction. You must firmly grasp the issue of construction quality and variability before you can successfully control durability. This book helps by giving: • reviews of field performance, deteriorating processes and current codes and practice • methods for calculation of corrosion probability; performance-based concrete quality control; corrosion prevention and preventive maintenance • calculation of life cycle costs and life cycle assessment • recommended job specifications. Internationally relevant with a practical focus, this is the essential guide for consulting and construction engineers involved in the design and execution of new concrete structures.

Management of Deteriorating Concrete Structures George Somerville, Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, UK, and Chairman, UKCARES, UK This authoritative book draws together deterioration and repair/remediation with practical asset management. Despite the wealth of information there is a lack of clear guidance on how to carry out a practical assessment of concrete structures and manage repair in the field. This book gives solid practical guidance on assessment, and outlines when and how to act. The focus is on engineering aspects and decision-making, in terms of perspective, procedures and principles, while giving references for matters of detail such as test methods and the mechanisms of deterioration. The author has drawn on over thirty years experience on concrete durability and, in particular, on his involvement in three recent European-funded projects, involving collaboration between the owners of structures and researchers, to create this outstanding book. Selected Contents: 1. Introduction 2. Feedback and Perspective on Deterioration 3. Management and Maintenance Systems 4. Defects, Deterioration Mechanisms and Diagnosis 5. Structural Assessment 6.

Edited by Ahmed Y. Elghazouli, Imperial College, London, UK As the new Eurocode 8 on the Design of Structures for Earthquake Resistance has acquired the status of a full Euronorm, practical information and training has become urgently needed, especially in relation to the underlying principles of seismic behaviour and the design of building structures. This book covers seismic design in a clear but brief manner and links the principles to the code, illustrated with design examples. Concrete and steel buildings, and their foundations, are given special emphasis but the book is also applicable to many other types of structure and sub-structure. The book stems from practical short courses on seismic design, run jointly by the Society for Earthquake and Civil Engineering Dynamics (SECED) and Imperial College London. It will be of value to a wide range of practising civil and structural engineers at different stages of their careers; and should also be of direct use to academics preparing courses and worked examples on seismic design to EC8, to advanced undergraduate students, and to Masters Level students in Earthquake, Structural or Geotechnical Engineering.
