Side weirs are used widely in order to divert flows from rivers, canals, sewers and reservoirs. However, the hydraulic behaviour of this type of weir is complex and difficult to predict accurately by simple methods. This invaluable book presents a new design procedure that was developed by analysing published data on the performance of side weirs and using the results to calibrate a predictive numerical model. Presented in the form of graphs and simplified equations, this new method enables the flow rate discharged by a side weir to be determined by direct calculation.

Environmental Geochemistry: Site Characterization, Data Analysis and Case Histories
Author: BENEDETTO DE VIVO, HARVEY E. BELKIN, ANNAMARIA LIMA | Size: 12.5 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Elsevier Science | Year: 2008 | pages: 448 | ISBN: 0444531599
This book includes chapters which will span from the role of geochemistry in the environment in general to the specific investigations on site characterization (dealing with sampling strategy, analytical procedures and problems). Specific articles will deal with health problems related to environment pollution, waste disposal, data base management, and illustration of specific case histories for characterization and remediation of brownfield sites.
* Comprehensive analysis providing background information on geochemistry in general through to specific investigations
* Provides practical insight through case study material
* Informs and updates students and practitioners on hot topics, latest trends and developments.

Author: Department for Transport | Size: 3.58 MB | Format:PDF | Year: 2008 | pages: 64 | ISBN: 9780115530272
Abstract
Highlights lessons learned and experiences gained from 10 government funded projects demonstrating the road safety of mixed priority routes. A brief definition of mixed priority routes (MPRs) is given, followed by details of the projects themselves, including the benefits and monitoring of performance such as safety, environment, accessibility and economics. Also looks at budgetary requirements and sources of funding, packaging proposals and timescales and delays. Other chapters examine the team composition for a project, the consultation process, design factors and implementation. Scheme evaluation looks at what to measure and when.

Abstract
Considers the design issues common to steps/stairs, ramps, escalators and moving walks to assist in meeting requirements for inclusive design in non-domestic buildings. Advises on technical aspects of the issues for the design and specification of these elements in external and internal environments, and in different building types. Covers operational and maintenance issues to be addressed at the design stage.
