In the early chapters it provides a brief overview of the marine environment, offshore site investigation techniques and interpretation of soil behaviour. It proceeds to cover geotechnical design of piled foundations, shallow foundations and anchoring systems. Three topics are then covered which require a more multi-disciplinary approach: the design of mobile drilling rigs, pipelines, and geohazards. Finally an overview discussion looks at design and reliability in the offshore environment.
BS 6700:2006 Design, installation, testing and maintenance of services supplying water for domestic use within buildings and their curtilages – Specification
This British Standard specifies requirements for and gives
recommendations on the design, installation, alteration, testing and
maintenance of services supplying water for domestic use within
buildings and their curtilages. It covers the system of pipes, fittings and
connected appliances installed to supply any building, whether
domestic or not, with water for drinking, culinary, domestic laundry,
ablutionary, cleaning and sanitary purposes1).
This standard deals only with low temperature systems; it does not
cover systems that are designed to operate with steam or high
temperature hot water.
This standard does not cover domestic central heating systems.
Although many of its recommendations will be applicable, this standard
does not cover fire fighting services nor water supply for industrial or
other specialist purposes other than to indicate precautions that should
be taken when these are used in association with other water services.
The point at which a domestic activity becomes an industrial process,
e.g. in food preparation, has not been defined and the applicability of
this standard will need to be considered in each case.

he first international symposium on NDT-CE (Non-Destructive Testing in Civil Engineering) was held in Berlin, Germany in 1991. Successive symposia were held throughout Europe until 1997. This, the 5th symposium is organized as SEIKEN SYMPOSIUM No. 26, and is sponsored by the Institute of Industrial Science, at the University of Tokyo, Japan.
Original objectives of the NDT-CE symposium have been to provide an opportunity for discussing current issues and future perspectives of NDT and for promoting mutual understanding among engineers and researchers.
Asia is one of the key regions for further development in NDT and this symposium in Japan will be a good opportunity not only to exchange technical information on NDT, but to promote worldwide friendship between engineers in Asian countries and other nations of the world. This volume contains 70 papers providing the most recent research results and findings. The papers are grouped under the following areas: (1) keynote papers, (2) magnetic / electric, (3) steel structures, (4) integrated test, (5) moisture, (6) strength, (7) acoustic emission, (8) various tests, (9) ultrasonic, (10) impact echo, (11) radar, (12) quality and (13) corrosion / cover.

An introduction to the metric system and its applications in quantity measurements in building construction projects, this reference is tailored to meet the needs of students or busy professionals adapting to metrication in the U.S. as a result of direct involvement in international and government projects.
Features
# Delineates the principles, practices, and techniques involved in estimating building costs
# Examines jobsite overhead costs, often estimated too generally, leading to significant loss for contractors
# Discusses the calculation of general overhead costs to be allocated to the project under consideration
# Includes techniques for estimating job overhead costs, tips for bid preparation, and more
# Supplies a wealth of ready-to-use information and useful tools in the appendices
# Covers contractor costs encountered during construction, especially bonds, taxes, and various types of insurance
Summary
Companies live or die on the basis of estimating their costs. Preparing estimates and bidding for new jobs is a complex and often costly process. There is no substitute for on the job training -- until now. Drawing on the authors' combined experience of more than 70 years, Estimating Building Costs presents state-of-the-art principles, practices, and techniques for assessing these expenditures that can be applied regardless of changes in the costs of materials, equipment, and labor. The book is an efficient and practical tool for developing contracts or controlling project costs.
The authors cover the major components of the direct cost: estimating procedures and cost trends related to materials, construction equipment, and skilled and unskilled labor. They describe various types of building estimates encountered during the lifecycle of a project, as well as the role and accuracy of each. The book provides an overview of the industry, cost indexes in use, approaches to preparing a detailed estimate, and an in-depth description of the organization and function of the estimating group. Including CSI Master Format and UniFormat codes, estimating forms, a list of available estimating software packages, a detailed construction site and investigation report, the book provides a cost estimating methodology that readers can tailor to their own organizational needs.

Combining select chapters from Grigsby's standard-setting The Electric Power Engineering Handbook with several chapters not found in the original work, Electric Power Substations Engineering became widely popular for its comprehensive, tutorial-style treatment of the theory, design, analysis, operation, and protection of power substations. For its second edition, this popular progeny rejoins the handbook as one in a set of five carefully focused volumes.
In addition to substantial updates in most areas, this bestselling reference brings to the Handbook its five original contributions, covering such diverse topics as communications, physical and cyber security, and gas-insulated transmission lines (GIL). This edition also includes two entirely new chapters on substation asset management and substation commissioning. Major updates appear in the highly active areas of integration, automation, substation grounding, high-voltage switching equipment, and air- and gas-insulated substations. With contributions by active leaders from around the world, the coverage reflects international standards, practices, and technologies, not limited to those found in North America. In fact, many of the contributors are involved in developing the standards in their area of expertise.
Updated to include the latest developments, trends, and technologies, Electric Power Substations Engineering, Second Edition provides a thorough and up-to-date guide for power engineers at all levels of expertise.
