The book serves the interests and needs of designers, teachers and students of civil engineering. It provides the designers with specific design procedures and the relevant background material to understand the theory and methodology behind the procedures, their limitations and their relevance to the problem on hand. For teachers, this is a good resource book to teach more than one course in geotechnical engineering, both at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The students will find the book a good reference for several courses in geotechnical engineering and in their future professional career. The remaining part of the book, on soil engineering, covers all important problems typically met with in civil engineering practice. Applications of procedures are illustrated with numerous solved examples. Instances where the designer must use his own judgement are also brought out.

Transportation and Traffic Theory: Flow, Dynamics and Human Interaction
Transportation and Traffic Theory: Flow, Dynamics and Human Interaction
Elsevier Science | July 12, 2005 | ISBN-10: 0080446809 | 800 pages | PDF | 70 mb
The ISTTT series is the main gathering for the world's transportation and traffic theorists, and the resulting volume is a field-defining milestone featuring the most promising thinking and theoretical developments. It reflects the major renewal the field is experiencing, with the entry of many new scientists from a variety of disciplines, and the mutual coexistence of a growing number of theoretical perspectives and modelling cultures.While this volume covers a wide range of aspects of the modelling of transportation processes as complex systems, an overarching theme is the recognition that these systems are a collective expression of individual human decisions. A significant number of the contributions published here therefore deal with some aspect of human behaviour - whether as travellers, drivers, passengers, operators, or regulators - reflecting the great strides being made in developing theories and mathematical representations of these phenomena.

Theoretical Effective Length Factors for Cross-Braced Solid Round Diagonals
The objective of the investigation is to determine theoretically the effective
length factors of cross-braced solid round diagonals in all-welded steel
communication towers. Three beam-column models with different boundary
conditions (pinned, elastically restraked, and fixed) were investigated and it was
show that a beam-column with elastic restraints at ends and at cross-brace
location is the most accurate. However, for design purposes, when the ratio of
the diameter of the leg to the diameter of the diagonal exceeds three, beam-column
mode1 with fixed ends and elastic restraint at cross-brace location is
satisfactory. The theoretical results were compared with results of tests on 26
specimens.
