Book Description:
Modelling forms a vital part of all engineering design, yet many hydraulic engineers are not fully aware of the assumptions they make. These assumptions can have important consequences when choosing the best model to inform design decisions.
Considering the advantages and limitations of both physical and mathematical methods, this book will help you identify the most appropriate form of analysis for the hydraulic engineering application in question. All models require the knowledge of their background, good data and careful interpretation and so this book also provides guidance on the range of accuracy to be expected of the model simulations and how they should be related to the prototype.
Applications to models include:
open channel systems closed conduit flows storm drainage systems estuaries coastal and nearshore structures hydraulic structures. An invaluable guide for students and professionals.

Leonhard E. Bernold, Simaan M. AbouRizk, "Managing Performance in Construction"
Wiley | 2010 | ISBN: 0470171642, 047091968X | 528 pages | PDF | 6,7 MB
Construction is the country's single largest manufacturing industry. However, it is a sector that lacks benchmarks against which to gauge performance. This modern thinking intends to provide insight to construction productivity improvement. Taking cues from manufacturing sectors such as computer, automobile and chemical companies, this book will apply the lessons learned to building construction. Supported with a range of pedagogical devices, the book will be of equal value to construction managers and civil engineers, and students with different learning methods.

Title: Composite Materials Handbook-MIL 17, Volume I
Author: US Dept of Defence
ISBN: 1566768268
Publisher: CRC
Publication Date: 1999-06-18
Number Of Pages: 488
This handbook documents engineering methodologies for the development of standardized, statistically -based material property data for polymer matrix composite materials. Also provided are data summaries for a number of relevant composite material systems for which available data meets specific MIL-HNBK-17 requirements for publication. Additionally, supporting materials are summarized. This handbook has been developed and is maintained as a joint effort of the Department of Defense and the Federal Aviation Administration. The book's primary purpose is the standardization of engineering data development methodologies related to characterization, testing, data reduction, and data reporting of properties for composite material systems for which data meeting specific requirements is available.

Recycling Construction & Demolition Waste: A LEED-Based Toolkit
McGraw-Hill Professional
Year: 2010
ISBN: 0071713387, 0071713395
256 pages - PDF file format - 1,6 MB
A Complete Reference on Construction Waste Recycling.
This GreenSource guide offers comprehensive information on how to recycle as much as 95 percent of new construction and demolition waste, reuse existing materials, and comply with U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) LEED waste management guidelines.
Recycling Construction & Demolition Waste provides the strategies and tools you need to develop and implement a successful jobsite waste management plan. This practical resource also covers other programs that promote sustainable construction, such as the International Code Council's ICC-ES program, the National Association of Homebuilders (NAHB) Green Building Program, the Green Building Initiative Green Globes Program, BREEAM, and more.
FIND OUT HOW TO:
* Manage construction and demolition waste on the jobsite
* Set up an efficient jobsite recycling center
* Recycle new construction waste
* Conduct an on-site audit to assess demolition waste
* Reuse existing materials, including asphalt, brick, concrete, insulation, structural steel, wood, glass, and more
* Develop a comprehensive waste management plan
* Comply with LEED standards to earn waste management credits
* Get details on other green certification and code programs
* Document waste management compliance
* Include appropriate specifications in construction documents
* Market your jobsite recycling program
