I will constantly add my new review at there.
I hope my thread can be a "sticky/permanent thread" so that easily to find & read by all members of CivilEA
I need suggestion from Admin/Protector/Moderator where is the correct forum for my thread & also correct name for my thread.
I feel that my thread in that temporary location ( in Suggestion Forum ) should be moved to an appropriate forum so that easily to find & read by all members of CivilEA.
If that thread moved by Admin/Protector/Moderator to an appropriate/correct forum please give me notification about the new location of it so that I can continue add my review.
I hope my review useful for all of you
Thx

GEO-INSTITUTE OF ASCE GROUTING COMMITTEE JET GROUTING TASK FORCE
JET GROUTING GUIDELINE
This document has been prepared by the Jet Grouting Task Force, a subcommittee of the Geo-Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Grouting Committee. The Jet Grouting Task Force was assembled in 2005 by the Grouting Committee to represent a cross section of the industry. Task Force members include Owners, Engineers, Consultants, and Specialty Contractors all engaged in jet grouting activities. The intent of this document is to provide a jet grouting guideline approved by the Jet Grouting Task Force that is fair to all parties involved on a jet grouting project. This document is not intended to cover every conceivable application or requirement of jet grouting. However, it does provide standard practice requirements for qualifications, materials, equipment, testing, and production procedures for the Professional Engineer to incorporate into their project specific requirements. The Task force has included commentary within this document. The commentary is shown in italic and appears immediately after sub-articles requiring further discussion. The commentary is here to provide a better understanding of specific language chosen for the body of the guideline and also provides alternate requirements and language that can be incorporated by the Professional Engineer.

Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge for the 21st Century
Preparing the Civil Engineer for the Future
The manner in which civil engineering is practiced must change. That change is necessitated by such forces as globalization, sustainability requirements, emerging technology, and increased complexity with the corresponding need to identify, define, and solve problems at the boundaries of traditional disciplines. As always within the civil engineering profession, change must be accomplished mindful of the profession’s primary concern for protecting public safety, health, and welfare. The profession recognizes the need for change. For example, in June 2006, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) convened the Summit on the Future of Civil Engineering – 2025. This gathering of civil engineering and other leaders, including international participants, articulated a global vision for the future of civil engineering. The vision1 sees civil engineers as being entrusted by society as leaders in creating a sustainable world and enhancing the global
quality of life.

Ethics, Guidelines for Professional Conduct for Civil Engineers
Author: АСЦЕ | Size: 0.6 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers | Year: 2008 | pages: 27
Achieving an ethical professional career is a journey, not a destination. Your understanding of ethical behavior will change with time, experience, and discussion with others who have set out to take a similar journey. Only when you decide on a lifetime of learning about and discussing ethical behavior with others, can you hope to complete the journey successfully. The responsibility borne by employers and senior members of the profession to set standards of ethical behavior in their own lives cannot be overstated. It is the responsibility of people in positions of authority and seniority to make their peers and colleagues aware of the need to read the code of ethics often. Further, these mentoring members have an ethical responsibility to model behaviors that others may learn from and to raise questions and engage their peers and colleagues in discussing ethical issues.
The ASCE Code of Ethics (Appendix A) provides guidance for engineers’ personal and professional conduct. The first canon of the code of ethics, holding “paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public,” should be at the forefront of all decisions, designs, and execution of responsibilities. The remaining six canons amplify the importance of Canon 1 and further describe a professional engineer’s responsibility not only to the public but also to his/her clients, employers, and other members of the engineering profession. Addressing the issues of all of these constituencies is essential to ensure the continued safety and quality of life of the public into the future, as well as to earn and sustain public trust and support for professional engineers in the efficient, safe, and economical performance of their duties.

IABSE Report - Foundations for Major Bridges: Design and Construction
IABSE Colloquium Report - New Delhi 1999
Modern bridges demand compatible, durable, sustainable and cost-effective foundations that blend effectively with the type of superstructure and substructure; hence a thorough understanding of structural concepts, innovative construction methods and techniques, hydrology/hydraulics, geology/geo-technical, environmental and ecological parameters on the part of bridge engineers assume significance to keep pace with the advancements in the field.
Eminent structural engineers joined in New Delhi to discuss on the following topics and underlined the importance of the theme:
Geo-technical and Geophysical Investigation
Bed Erosion and Scour
Loading, Load Factors and Design Techniques
Construction
Case Studies

Features
Comprehensive overview of nondestructive evaluation (NDE).
Includes examples that are based on real world applications and problems.
Gives the reader experience in making repair vs. retirement decisions regarding equipment.
Summary
Describing NDE issues associated with real-world applications, this comprehensive book details conventional and forthcoming NDE technologies. It instructs on current practices, common techniques and equipment applications, and the potentials and limitations of current NDE methods. Each chapter details a different method, providing an overview, an explanation of the fundamental physical laws governing the method, the inspection techniques and typical equipment used in it's application, final system integration of transducers, supporting instrumentation, commonly practiced procedures necessary for viable NDE inspection, examples of how the method can be applied, and end-of-chapter problems.

Modern Hydrology and Sustainable Water Development
Author: S. K. Gupta | Size: 33.9 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell | Year: November 2010 | pages: 464 | ISBN: 9781405171243
The material of this book will derive its scientific under-pinning from basics of mathematics, physics, chemistry, geology, meteorology, engineering, soil science, and related disciplines and will provide sufficient breadth and depth of understanding in each sub-section of hydrology. It will start with basic concepts:
* Water, its properties, its movement, modelling and quality
* The distribution of water in space and time
* Water resource sustainability
Chapters on ‘global change’ and ‘water and ethics’ aim respectively to emphasize the central role of hydrological cycle and its quantitative understanding and monitoring for human well being and to familiarize the readers with complex issues of equity and justice in large scale water resource development process.
Modern Hydrology for Sustainable Development is intended not only as a textbook for students in earth and environmental science and civil engineering degree courses, but also as a reference for professionals in fields as diverse as environmental planning, civil engineering, municipal and industrial water supply, irrigation and catchment management.
This book presents a unified treatment of the science and practice of modern hydrology, derived from the basics of mathematics, physics, chemistry, geology, meteorology, engineering, soil science, and related disciplines. The aim of the book is to provide both breadth and depth of understanding in each of the major sub-sections of modern hydrology, under three broad themes:
* water, its properties, its movement, modelling and quality;
* the distribution of water in space and time;
* water resource sustainability.
The importance of linking theory to application is underlined by the inclusion of four case studies from three continents. These examples cover regions of high water stress and show the relevance of the broad themes of the book to real field situations, and how adaptation measures can be employed to mitigate water stress.
