Sustainable solutions require the integration of social and ecological aspects in every planning and decision-making process. This means: analyse the real world and model the problem-situation as a system; understand the needs and objectives of the customers and clients; carefully develop alternative ideas and solutions, as well as evaluate concepts under multidimensional aspects/criteria. In this area Systems Engineering could offer a fruitful approach. Systems Engineering (SE) is a systematic way of thinking and a methodology to guide demanding problem-solving processes in the fields of management and engineering.
This book explains the most important principles and elements of Systems Engineering and three planning cases demonstrate the practical application.

History of the Modern Suspension Bridge: Solving the Dilemma between Economy and Stiffness
History of the Modern Suspension Bridge: Solving the Dilemma between Economy and Stiffness
Tadaki Kawada
# Paperback: 262 pages
# Publisher: ASCE Press (American Society of Civil Engineeers (April 30, 2010)
# Language: English
# ISBN-10: 0784410186
# ISBN-13: 978-0784410189
Product Description
When he was thinking about how to build a bridge across the River Tweed, Sir Samuel Brown stopped while observing a spiders web. Right at this time he discovered the suspension bridge."" Charles Bender, 1868. The English translation of Tadaki Kawadas landmark book traces the modern suspension bridge from its earliest appearance in Western civilization only 200 years ago to the enormous Akashi Kaikyo and Storebælt bridges completed at the end of the twentieth century. History of the Modern Suspension Bridge: Solving the Dilemma between Economy and Stiffness examines the conflicts, the bridge collapses, the colorful personalities, and the advancements that have shaped the development of the suspension bridge. From John Roebling and the Brooklyn Bridge to the legendary rivalry between Othmar Ammann and David Steinman, from the Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapse in 1940, which Kawada explores in depth, to the closing of Londons Millennium Bridge just three days after its opening, this book is a complete history of the modern suspension bridgewith a focus on the two essential factors in suspension bridge design, economy and stiffness, which are always in competition with one another. How do engineers reinforce the suspension bridge against the elements of wind and traffic, without sacrificing economy? History of the Modern Suspension Bridge: Solving the Dilemma between Economy and Stiffness will appeal to anyone interested in engineering history and suspension bridges. Practicing engineers will find the charts, tables, and design formulas especially valuable. About the authors:

Launched Bridges
(Prestressed Concrete Bridges Built on the Ground and Launched into Their Final Position)
by Marco Rosignoli, (Consulting Engr., Parma, Italy)
Reston, VA: ASCE Press, 978-0-7844-0314-3 or 0-7844-0314-7, 1998, 363 pp. (Barcode: RMI MK31582)
Books - ASCE Press
Abstract: Launched Bridges is a book designed to merge the static, organizational, and economic aspects of construction techniques for the launch of monolithic bridges, as these aspects are related to each other and must be considered as a whole in the design of such types of structures. The book is geared toward building contractors, technical and design engineers, and owners, as it can benefit all involved with bridge building.

Steel Design
William T. Segui
# Hardcover: 704 pages
# Publisher: Thomson Learning; 4 edition (November 2006)
# Language: English
# ISBN-10: 0495244716
# ISBN-13: 978-0495244714
Product Description
Steel Design covers the fundamentals of structural steel design with an emphasis on the design of members and their connections, rather than the integrated design of buildings. Not only is Steel Design a revision of LRFD Steel Design, it also encompasses the 2005 unification of LRFD and ASD as is covered in the Steel Construction Manual. The book is designed so that instructors can easily teach either LRFD or ASD, or both, time-permitting, as the differences in the two approaches are mostly conceptual. The application of fundamental principles is encouraged for design procedures as well as for practical design, but so is a theoretical approach, enhancing the students development. While the book is intended for junior-and senior-level engineering students, some of the later chapters can be used in graduate courses. Due to the changes that were made to many provisions of the Steel Construction Manual, practicing engineers will find this text useful in reviewing current practices and it will be an essential reference tool.
About the Author
William T. Segui is an Associate Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Memphis where he began in 1968. He specializes in structural analysis and design. Segui is a Registered Professional Engineer in Tennessee, a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, and a member of the West Tennessee Structural Engineers Association Experience. He has authored books in LRFD Steel Design and Structural Steel as well as numerous journal articles.

Article: Global buckling analysis of plane and space thin-walled frames in the context of GBT
Thin-Walled Structures
Volume 46, Issue 1, January 2008, Pages 79-101
Abstract
This paper reports research work concerning the use of Generalised Beam Theory (GBT) to analyse the global buckling behaviour of
plane and space thin-walled frames. Following a brief overview of the main concepts and procedures involved in the performance of a
GBT buckling analysis, one presents in detail the formulation and numerical implementation of a GBT-based beam finite element that
includes only the first four (rigid-body) deformation modes—namely, one describes (i) the kinematical models developed to simulate the
warping transmission at frame joints connecting two or more non-aligned U- and I-section members, (ii) the procedures adopted to
handle the effects stemming from the non-coincidence of the member centroidal and shear centre axes (cross-sections without double
symmetry), and (iii) the definition of joint elements, which involves providing a relation between the connected member GBT degrees of
freedom and the joint generalised displacements. Finally, one presents and discusses numerical results that make it possible to illustrate
the application and show the capabilities of the above GBT-based finite-element formulation and implementation. For validation
purposes, the GBT-based results (critical buckling loads and mode shapes) are also compared with values yielded by shell (mostly) and
beam finite element analyses carried out in the code ANSYS.
