In recent years, a number of global claims have failed because they were presented without any systematic analysis, justification or proper calculation of losses. Hence, Global Claims in Construction highlights these issues as well as the importance of understanding causation, factual necessity and the courts’ attitude and approach to global claims.
Global Claims in Construction addresses the principles of global claims and their calculation methodologies in detail through extensive references to literature, case law and a real world case study. It aims to be a valuable resource for professionals working in the construction industry, as well as students in construction and engineering.

This book aims at a concise and systematic treatment of elastic structural stability problems; it provides the reader with structural stability "concepts", basic "methodologies" of stability analysis, and their applications to structural stability and "analysis" and "design". The constituting parts of the book are: concepts and cases of structural instability; fundamentals of stability analysis; stability analysis of bars, beam-columns, frames, arches, rings, places and shells; dynamic instability; inelastic and viscoelastic buckling; finite element method of stability analysis; and codified design of structural elements. The text is enhanced by a number of references, problems and formulas for the buckling loads of some structural elements. The author has taught for many years in several universities, and has research as well as practical experience in this field. The text is aimed for use by an audience primarily consisting of engineering students, researchers and practising engineers.

On August 1, 2007, just after 6:00 p.m., during the evening rush hour in Minneapolis, the 1,900-foot-long, eight-lane I-35W bridge buckled and crashed into the Mississippi River. The unimaginable had happened right on the doorstep of the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus. Many of the first responders were from the University, persevering in the midst of chaos and disbelief. In the ensuing weeks, research and engineering teams from the University reviewed the wreckage, searched for causes, and began planning for the future.
The City, the River, the Bridge represents another set of responses to the disaster. Stemming from a 2008 University of Minnesota symposium on the bridge collapse and the building of a new bridge, it addresses the ramifications of the disaster from the perspectives of history, engineering, architecture, water science, community-based journalism, and geography. Contributors examine the factors that led to the collapse, the lessons learned from the disaster and the response, the policy and planning changes that have occurred or are likely to occur, and the impact on the city and the Mississippi River. The City, the River, the Bridge demonstrates the University's commitment to issues that concern the community and shares insights on public questions of city building, infrastructure, and design policy.
Contributors: John O. Anfinson; Roberto Ballarini; Heather Dorsey; Thomas Fisher; Minmao Liao; Judith A. Martin; Roger Miller; Mark Pedelty; Deborah L. Swackhamer; Melissa Thompson.

This book contains plenty of examples and practice problems. Each chapter ends with a multiple-choice quiz. There is a multiple-choice final exam at the end of the course. The questions in the quizzes and the exam are similar in format to the questions in standardized tests.

This book deals with the idea and practice of proof in mathematics. As a college teacher, I know that this is a difficult concept to grasp, and a major poser for both teachers and learners. As a Gibilisco reader, I wasn’t expecting anything less than a complete, entertaining, andThe book can be used for self-training. It assumes nothing, and teaches you everything you need. How it teaches you is another story. Stan Gibilisco has the gift and the passion of a coach. He provides the right example and exercise as soon as you see something new; by going through it with him, and again on your own in the quiz at the end of each chapter, you make it your own. Gibilisco takes you there, and is with you each step of the way. go-getting presentation. I have been amply rewarded in my expectations.

Author: Donald R. Askeland and Pradeep P. Fulay | Size: 28.7 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Cengage Learning | Year: 2008 | pages: 624 | ISBN: 0495244465
This text provides students with a solid understanding of the relationship between the structure, processing, and properties of materials. Authors Donald Askeland and Pradeep Fulay teach the fundamental concepts of atomic structure and materials behaviors and clearly link them to the "materials" issues that students will have to deal with when they enter the industry or graduate school (e.g. design of structures, selection of materials, or materials failures). While presenting fundamental concepts and linking them to practical applications, the authors emphasize the necessary basics without overwhelming the students with too much of the underlying chemistry or physics. The book covers fundamentals in an integrated approach that emphasizes applications of new technologies that engineered materials enable. New and interdisciplinary developments in materials field such as nanomaterials, smart materials, micro-electro-mechanical (MEMS) systems, and biomaterials are also discussed.

Product Description
Amid climatic changes linked to global warming, on-going changes in land-use patterns, and growing concern with hydrology as an international issue, it is increasingly important to understand the potential impact of these changes on the water environment. Rainfall-runoff modeling is an important predictor of that impact.
This book provides a summary of the development of rainfall-runoff models, giving examples of their practical applications. It introduces the different techniques for rainfall-runoff modeling, based upon the most recent research, but in a way that serves as a primer for the subject.
Provides an overview of how catchment rainfall-runoff systems work
A history of rainfall-runoff models
Examples of models which can be downloaded over the Internet
Looks at uncertainty in model prediction

Reuse Dismantling and Performance Evaluation of Reusable Members
Author: Masanori Fujita, Researcher, Dr, Eng., Kanagawa University, Yokohama, Japan and Mamoru Iwata, Prof., Dr, Eng., Department of Architecture and Building Engineering, Kanagawa University, Yokohama, Japan | Size: 1.36 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Structural Engineering International | Year: 2008 | pages: 8 | ISBN: NA
The reuse system mentioned in this paper is an overall system for realizing a reuse business in a cyclic process of design, fabrication, construction, maintenance, dismantling, and storage. Here, we propose reuse dismantling to minimize the damage to structural members for future reuse, and performance evaluation of reusable members focusing on rolled H-sections. Structural members obtained by reuse dismantling or conventional demolition are evaluated by visual inspection, dimensional inspection, mechanical property tests, chemical component tests, and degradation inspection. For structural members to circulate as reusable members in the existing distribution system, two industries are needed: one responsible for production and product supply, which has already been established, and the other facilitating disposal, recycling, and reusing of the products resulting from the former. The authors define the former as the arterial industry, and the latter, as the venous industry, showing the size and importance of both industries.
