Bridge Engineering 2 Conference Papers 2009, University of Bath
This set of papers forms the proceedings of the Bridge Engineering 2 Conference 2009 held at the University of Bath in Spring 2009. It contains 39 papers, written by undergraduate students of civil engineering in the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering, as part of their Bridge Engineering 2 taught unit.
Each paper provides an insight into the design and construction aspects associated with a single existing bridge. The entire set of proceedings and accompanying website were produced by the students themselves and serves as a record of the conference which was held to facilitate discussion of each bridge.

Geometry lies at the core of the architectural design process. It is omnipresent, from the initial determination of form to the final construction.
Modern geometric computing provides a variety of tools for the efficient design, analysis, and manufacturing of complex shapes. On the one hand this opens up new horizons for architecture. On the other, the architectural context also poses new problems for geometry. The research area of architectural geometry, situated at the border of applied geometry and architecture, is emerging to address these problems. This volume, presenting the papers accepted at the 2010 Advances in Architectural Geometry conference in Vienna, reflects the substantial progress made in this field. The interdisciplinary nature of architectural geometry is reflected in the diversity of backgrounds of the contributing authors. Renowned architects, engineers, mathematicians, and computer scientists present novel research ideas and cutting-edge solutions at the interface of geometry processing and architectural design.

Description:
Presents readers with an overview of lake management problems and the tools that can be applied to solve probelms. Lake management tools are presented in detail, including environmental technological methods, ecotechnological methods and the application of models to assess the best management strategy.
Lake and reservoir management is very complex and it is not easy to understand all the problems connected with lake and reservoir management. This book not only presents good lake management strategy but also explains the strategy by the use of limnology, chemistry, biochemistry - using all scientific disciplines needed to understand lake problems, lake processes and the tools that can be applied to solve lake management problems. It should be underlined that the volume is not a textbook in limnology, but that it focuses on management of lake problems and their solution. It can be considered a high level textbook in lake management.

Soil-Water-Solute process characterization: An Integrated Approach
Soil-Water-Solute process characterization: An Integrated Approach
Author(s): Javier Alvarez-Benedi, Rafael Munoz-Carpena

Size: 21 MB
Description:
The development and application of methods for monitoring and characterizing soil-water-solute processes are among the most limiting factors in understanding the soil environment. Experimental methods are a critical part of scientific papers, and their design and implementation are usually the most time-consuming tasks in research. When selecting a method to characterize a property governing a soil process, the practitioner or researcher often faces complex alternatives. In many cases these alternatives are bypassed in favor of recommendations from colleagues on well-established methods that might not be the most suitable for the specific conditions of a study.
The practitioner or researcher often faces complex alternatives when selecting a method to characterize properties governing a soil process. After years of research and development, environmental and agricultural professionals now have an array of methods for characterizing soil processes. Well-established methods, however, may not be suitable for the specific conditions of a study since many soil characteristics are intrinsically variable. An objective, integrated approach for soil characterization is needed to more effectively quantify parameters.
Soil-Water-Solute Process Characterization goes beyond technical guidance and addresses the complicating factors such as spatial and temporal variability of soil processes, scale issues, soil structure, and the trade-offs between methods. It focuses on advanced methods for the monitoring and modeling of mass transfer processes in soil. Expert contributors present limitations to well-known methods and alternatives, discussing their practical applications for characterization efforts, evaluating strengths and weaknesses, and focusing on a reduced set of selected techniques. Three in-depth sections cover everything from multidisciplinary approaches for assessing subsurface non-point source pollution to techniques for characterizing water and energy balances at the soil-plant-atmosphere interface, field methods for monitoring soil water status, and computer models for characterizing the effect of chemicals in soil.
This single-source reference is transforming method selection and our understanding of the principles, advantages, and limitations of the available monitoring techniques. Written in a simple and straightforward manner, Soil-Water-Solute Process Characterization is a detailed cookbook and a useful, practical reference for students, practitioners, and researchers.

I'm try to find the book "Deep Excavations: A Practical Manual" in full version. In this forum, it has only the ripped book and missing some pages. It's difficult to read the ripped version.
If you have the full version, please upload it.
I'm very grateful for your help.

Life-Cycle Costing: Using Activity-Based Costing and Monte Carlo Methods to Manage Future Costs and Risks
By: Jan Emblemsvåg (Author)
Hardcover: 336 pages
Publisher: Wiley (March 14, 2003)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0471358851
ISBN-13: 9780471358855
Product Description:
Manage costs before they occur
"Traditional cost cutting has always had a backward focus and created lots of negative reactions–both rational and irrational. In his new book, Jan Emblemsvag introduces a new forward looking life-cycle approach to cost management. Employing foresight instead of hindsight puts the focus on processes, uncertainty and risks, and future value creation.
"The author’s strong side–besides having a good holistic concept–is the ability to express himself accurately and clearly on very complicated and sophisticated theory. Managers, consultants, and others with interest in cost management will be enlightened and inspired by the book–and no doubt find it of great help in applying the methods and processes that are presented.
"The idea of turning uncertainty into an asset for managers is quite unique. Making budgeting less data-oriented and more risk-oriented is another good idea. The next step now is to make operative approaches and apply the theory in practical situations!"
–John-Erik Stenberg
Considium Consulting Group AS
"This book skillfully combines the ideas of life-cycle costing and activity-based costing to come up with an approach to effectively manage costs in an uncertain environment."
–Dr. Arnold Schneider
Professor of Accounting
Georgia Institute of Technology
Life-Cycle Costing (LCC), a cost projection method typically associated with engineering, allows for the accurate prediction of the total costs a product will incur throughout its life-cycle. Meshing this technique with activity-based costing, risk management, and Monte Carlo analytical methods, Jan Emblemsvåg offers a broad range of businesses a new, more effective approach to cost management in Life-Cycle Costing.
By introducing uncertainty into its models, "Activity-Based LCC" offers managers the clarity of hindsight before costs are actually incurred. Among other features, Life-Cycle Costing includes:
* Three case studies that demonstrate how Activity-Based LCC affords superior cost management
* A step-by-step guide to LCC methodology
* Definitions of key terms
* A discussion of activity-based costing and risk management fundamentals
* An appendix with examples of Monte Carlo methods
Life-Cycle Costing provides controllers and cost managers an insider’s look at the next generation of cost management techniques.
