Methods of structural control and dynamics are introduced in this book. These include reduction of large structural models by balanced truncation, placement of actuators and sensors for dynamic testing and control, structural identification of the minimum-order balanced representation, balanced dissipative controller design, balanced LQG and H( controller designs with the closed-form relationships between controller parameters and system performance, and controller reduction methods that preserve the closed-loop performance. The book explores the unique properties of flexible structures to obtain efficient methods of dynamic analysis and controller design. The presented methods of structural dynamics, identification, sensor/actuator placement, and passive, LQG and H( controller design have been checked both with simulations and industrial implementations.

Transportation Engineering Basics shows students how to use classroom knowledge to solve real-life transportation and traffic engineering problems. This comprehensive labbook addresses congestion, air pollution, transit, financing, politics, and signals. Each user-friendly chapter is designed as lab work, providing essential theory, background information, figures, tables, worksheets, and questions. Each lab is uniformly structured so that the engineering student can easily see and understand the lab's objective and the components necessary to investigate the situation.
This updated and expanded edition includes ten new labs and incorporates changes resulting from the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA, 1990) and the Transportation Equity Act of the 21st Century (TEA-21, 1998). This legislation has provided opportunities for transportation professionals in terms of new funds and jobs; as well as set new requirements for monitoring performance and showing the benefits of a project. This book includes information about job opportunities, a section on software use, summaries of transportation websites, a list of esteemed transportation journals, and a glossary of terms used in the transportation field.
Teachers can use this book to assign practical work to students, such as conducting research and solving transportation related problems by collecting data from the field. Planners and experienced professionals will also find the book to be a valuable resource.

The 7th edition of MS-2 Asphalt Mix Design Methods marks the 56th year of continuous publication of an Asphalt Institute mix design manual. The manual is a practical guide based on proven technologies, incorporating the most current information in 2014. This edition offers significantly expanded application and guidance relative to our previous mix design manuals. AASHTO, ASTM and other published standards are referenced often in addition to important research findings.
This book is intended for mix designers, pavement engineers, lab personnel and others involved in asphalt mixtures. Topics are presented in the logical progression of mix design steps. Chapters 1 through 5 apply across all mix design methods; covering mix behavior, material selection, batching, specimen preparation, binder absorption, specific gravity testing, volumetric calculations, data interpretation and more. Chapter 6 covers the unique aspects of the Superpave system, while chapter 7 does the same for Marshall and chapter 8 does the same for Hveem. Chapters 9 through 11 are again generic for all dense graded mixes and design methods; covering moisture sensitivity, performance testing and the use of recycled materials. Chapter 12 discusses the many specialty type mixes utilized for unique applications and chapter 13 wraps up the manual with guidance on verifying the JMF once field production starts. Fully illustrated, 188 pages.
