ABOUT THIS BOOK
Earthquakes and tsunamis are two major natural disasters, causing enormous life and material losses over the entire world, especially in the developing countries that are not well prepared. Since earthquakes and tsunamis are natural phenomena that cannot be prevented, a series of measures need to be taken to minimize the losses. Disaster mitigation covers a wide variety of activities involving numerous disciplines. Civil engineering makes probably the most effective contribution to the mitigation of life and material losses in earthquakes and tsunamis.
This volume contains 11 major contributions of distinguished experts from various areas of civil engineering, and aims at informing the civil engineering community about the recent progress in disaster mitigation concerning earthquakes and tsunamis. It is designed to address the standard practicing civil engineer with the aim of carrying the scientific research results to the engineering practice in simple engineering language.

The text covers a wide range of physical processes and phenomena which generally call for the use of mass, energy, and momentum or force balances, together with auxiliary relations drawn from such subdisciplines as thermodynamics and chemical kinetics. Both static and dynamic systems are covered as well as processes which are at a steady state. Thus, transport phenomena play an important but not exclusive role in the subject matter covered. This amalgam of topics is held together
by the common thread of applied mathematics.

Applied flow and solute transport modeling in aquifers
Author: Vedat Batu | Size: 10.42 MB | Format:PDF
Fundamental principles of flow and solute transport in aquifers, and the analytical and numerical methods used to model these mechanisms, are the focus of this book. This book is an outgrowth of my research and practical experiences in the areas of flow and solute transport in aquifers conducted during the past quarter of this century. Applied Flow and Solute Transport Modeling in
Aquifers: Fundamental Principles and Analytical and Numerical Methods is designed to be used by practicing hydrologists, hydrogeologists, environmental engineers, and others. Portions of this book may be suitable for use in upper level undergraduate courses; whole chapters of the book may be used in graduate level courses for students in the disciplines of civil and environmental engineering, chemical engineering, geology, hydrogeology, soil physics, agricultural engineering, geography,
forestry, and others.

This document lists visual strength grades, species and sources of timber, and specifies the strength classes
from EN 338, to which they are assigned.
NOTE For the grades, species and sources included, there is long experience of use and/or satisfactory test data.
The sources listed are therefore largely determined by existing commercial practice.

This guide to sustainable design of low-rise domestic buildings presents BRE’s expertise on the performance of building materials and fabric in a single compact volume.
It gives building professionals the starting points for selection and specification of structural elements, materials and finishes. All aspects of building design are covered: site investigation and preparation, foundations, walls, windows and doors, roofs, floors and ceilings, basements, building services plus much more.
Fully in line with UK regulations and standards, the guide is based on key sustainable design requirements, in particular, how to achieve a long life, limit maintenance requirements, reduce defects and design for the future.
Designing quality buildings brings together the expertise of BRE’s most experienced architects, engineers, surveyors and scientists and is based on a thorough understanding of the physical, chemical and environmental characteristics of building materials and fabric.
360pp, 173 line drawings, 78 photos.
