Elementary Structural Analysis
Authors: Charles Head Norris, John Benson Wilber & Senol Utku
Edition: 3rd
Pages: 349
Publishers: McGraw-Hill Inc., USA
Language: English
ISBN: 0070472564
007YB5534X (for use in ordering for buying)
This book is focused sharply on an elementary treatment of the analysis of structural behaviour, with illustrations drawn almost exclusively from the field of civil engineering structures. Admittedly analysis is a means to an end---not the end itself---since the primary objective of the structureal engineer is to design, not to analyze.
This book has been divided into three major divisions:
Part I: Basic Structural Theory: contains eleven chapters devoted to the fundamental concepts and the basic definitions and analytical techniques that provide the foundation for the entire field of sturctural analysis.
Part II: Introduction to Systematic Structural Analysis consists of five chapters in which automatic computational procedures are developed for identifying and organizing input information for processing by digital computers through the various stages of the solution of some of the most basic problems encountered in the analysis of civil engineering structures.
Part III: Introduction to Advanced Structural Analysis includes two chapters, one contains a brief introduction to the principles of advanced structural mechanics and the other is devoted to an introduction to methods of analyzing the plastic behavior of structures.
Although the book is old, still it is very much useful in the field of structural analysis courses and civil engineering practice and at the same time, it is nice if your personal library include such rare collection of books.

This book develops a specific viewpoint in discussing the participants, the processes and the techniques of project management for construction. This viewpoint is that of owners who desire completion of projects in a timely, cost effective fashion. Some profound implications for the objectives and methods of project management result from this perspective:
The "life cycle" of costs and benefits from initial planning through operation and disposal of a facility are relevant to decision making. An owner is concerned with a project from the cradle to the grave. Construction costs represent only one portion of the overall life cycle costs.
Optimizing performance at one stage of the process may not be beneficial overall if additional costs or delays occur elsewhere. For example, saving money on the design process will be a false economy if the result is excess construction costs.
Fragmentation of project management among different specialists may be necessary, but good communication and coordination among the participants is essential to accomplish the overall goals of the project. New information technologies can be instrumental in this process, especially the Internet and specialized Extranets.
Productivity improvements are always of importance and value. As a result, introducing new materials and automated construction processes is always desirable as long as they are less expensive and are consistent with desired performance.
Quality of work and performance are critically important to the success of a project since it is the owner who will have to live with the results.
In essence, adopting the viewpoint of the owner focuses attention on the cost effectiveness of facility construction rather than competitive provision of services by the various participants.
While this book is devoted to a particular viewpoint with respect to project management for construction, it is not solely intended for owners and their direct representatives. By understanding the entire process, all participants can respond more effectively to the owner's needs in their own work, in marketing their services, and in communicating with other participants. In addition, the specific techniques and tools discussed in this book (such as economic evaluation, scheduling, management information systems, etc.) can be readily applied to any portion of the process.
As a result of the focus on the effective management of entire projects, a number of novel organizational approaches and techniques become of interest. First and foremost is the incentive to replace confrontation and adversarial relationships with a spirit of joint endeavor, partnership and accomplishment. For example, we discuss the appropriate means to evaluate risks and the appropriate participants to assume the unavoidable risks associated with constructed facilities. Scheduling, communication of data, and quality assurance have particular significance from the viewpoint of an owner, but not necessarily for individual participants. The use of computer-based technology and automation also provides opportunities for increased productivity in the process. Presenting such modern management options in a unified fashion is a major objective of this book.
The unified viewpoint of the entire process of project management in this book differs from nearly all other literature on the subject. Most textbooks in the area treat special problems, such as cost estimating, from the viewpoint of particular participants such as construction managers or contractors. This literature reflects the fragmentation of the construction process among different organizations and professionals. Even within a single profession such as civil engineering, there are quite distinct groups of specialists in planning, design, management, construction and other sub-specialties. Fragmentation of interest and attention also exists in nearly all educational programs. While specialty knowledge may be essential to accomplish particular tasks, participants in the process should also understand the context and role of their special tasks.
This book is intended primarily as a text for advanced undergraduates, beginning graduate students or professionals continuing their education in engineering, construction, architecture or facilities management. Examples and discussion are chosen to remind readers that project management is a challenging, dynamic and exciting enterprise and not just a record of past practices. It should also be useful to professionals who wish an up-to-date reference on project management.

Environmental Engineering (Fourth Edition)
Authors: Ruth F. Weiner & Robin A. Matthews
Publishers: Butterworth Heinmann (2003)
International Standard Book Number (ISBN): 0750672943
Format: PDF
Language: English
Info:
The text is organized into areas important to all environmental engineers: water
resources, air quality, solid and hazardous wastes (including radioactive wastes), and
noise. Chapters on environmental impact assessment and on risk analysis are also
included. Any text on environmental engineering is somewhat dated by the time of
publication, because the field is moving and changing rapidly. We have included those
fundamental topics and principles on which the practice of environmental engineering
is grounded, illustrating them with contemporary examples. We have incorporated
emerging issues, such as global climate change and the controversy over the linear
nonthreshold theory, whenever possible.
This book is intended for engineering students who are grounded in basic physics,
chemistry, and biology, and who have already been introduced to fluid mechanics. The
material presented can readily be covered in a one-semester course.
