Environmental Engineer's Mathematics Handbook
Author(s): Frank R. Spellman
Publisher: CRC Press Date: 2004 Format: PDF Language: English
ISBN10: 1566706815 Pages: 642 Size on disk: 16.5 MB
More Info:
Advanced mathematics used in engineering is studied here in this text which examines the relationship between the principles in natural processes and those employed in engineered processes. The text covers principles, practices and the mathematics involved in the design and operation of environmental engineering works. It also presents engineering modelling tools and environmental algorithm examples. Major subjects covered in this book include:
* modelling
* algorithms
* air and water pollution assessment and control calculations
Providing concepts, definitions, descriptions, and derivations in an intuitive manner, it is both a textbook and reference tool for practitioners involved in the protection of air, water, and land resources.

Info:
Water-dependent habitats are extremely diverse in terms of their nature (e.g., drylands, wetlands, streams/rivers and ponds/lakes), geography (poles to equator, low to high latitude) and many support communities and species of high conservation value, some of which are under threat from extinction. As pressure is increasing on water-dependent habitats due to global change and ever growing anthropogenic impacts, it is clear that balancing the water needs of people against those of ecosystems (terrestrial and aquatic) is, and will increasingly become, a premier environmental issue. This crucial, often precarious ‘balancing act’ involves some highly complex issues and, thus, it has compelled recent workers to identify the need, not only for new integrative science (between traditional fi elds of hydrology–ecology) and analytical approaches, but for truly interdisciplinary research. In this context, it has been argued that the ‘new’ discipline(s) of hydroecology/ecohydrology has the potential not only to unlock elements of this complexity, but also to provide a foundation for the sustainable management of water resources.

The research projects carried out at the Railway Engineering Group of Delft University of Technology have played a central role. The theory of railway track and vehicle track interaction has been substantially enhanced and much more attention has been given to dynamics.
Undoubtedly one of the most important extensions was the part on slab track structures. But also track management systems have been given much more attention. Numerical optimization and testing, as well as acceptance are new chapters.
This book should prove to be a useful contribution to the training and instruction of permanent way engineers. The concept of integrated quality control presented will provide managers responsible for track maintenance and renewal with effective cost-saving tools.

Author: N. S. V. Kameswara Rao | Size: 42 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: John Wiley & Sons | Year: Jan 2011 | pages: 544 | ISBN: 978-0-470-82534-1
In Foundation Design: Theory and Practice, Professor N. S. V. Kameswara Rao covers the key aspects of the subject, including principles of testing, interpretation, analysis, soil-structure interaction modeling, construction guidelines, and applications to rational design. Rao presents a wide array of numerical methods used in analyses so that readers can employ and adapt them on their own. Throughout the book the emphasis is on practical application, training readers in actual design procedures using the latest codes and standards in use throughout the world.
* Presents updated design procedures in light of revised codes and standards, covering:
o American Concrete Institute (ACI) codes
o Eurocode 7
o Other British Standard-based codes including Indian codes
* Provides background materials for easy understanding of the topics, such as:
o Code provisions for reinforced concrete
o Pile design and construction
o Machine foundations and construction practices
o Tests for obtaining the design parameters
* Features subjects not covered in other foundation design texts:
o Soil-structure interaction approaches using analytical, numerical, and finite element methods
o Analysis and design of circular and annular foundations
o Analysis and design of piles and groups subjected to general loads and movements
* Contains worked out examples to illustrate the analysis and design
* Provides several problems for practice at the end of each chapter
* Lecture materials for instructors available on the book's companion website
Foundation Design is designed for graduate students in civil engineering and geotechnical engineering. The book is also ideal for advanced undergraduate students, contractors, builders, developers, heavy machine manufacturers, and power plant engineers. Students in mechanical engineering will find the chapter on machine foundations helpful for structural engineering applications.
