This is the second edition of the Institution’s guide on expert evidence. It has been substantially revised to take into account the Civil Procedure Rules that came into effect on 26 April 1999 and that now govern civil litigation in England and Wales.
The Civil Procedure Rules supersede the majority of the previous procedural rules.
They radically change the rules governing experts and expert evidence by requiring a more restrictive and proportionate approach.
This guide gives an overview of the principal rules of the Civil Procedure Rules, relating to experts and their evidence.
It also covers the nature of legal proceedings, the specific role and responsibilities of an expert, and the functions that they are required to perform.
The guide describes the difference between the expert who is given leave by the court to give expert evidence to the court and the expert adviser, who assists his client with technical advice.
The two roles are very different but often overlap.
This guide will be of benefit to structural engineers and their clients.
The guidance in this report is strictly applicable only in England and Wales, but it contains much useful information applicable in other jurisdictions.

Design and construction of deep basements including cut-and-cover structures (2004)
Publisher: Institution of Structural Engineers.
Ref. Number 343. A4, 86 pages, 80 illustrations. June 2002. ISBN 0 901297 23 2
The purpose of this comprehensive report is to draw attention to the key aspects of the design and construction of deep basements and to provide some examples of case histories and construction methods.
The design and construction of a deep basement is an exercise in ground-structure interaction.
It requires all the traditional skills of the engineer including: reliance on observation and measurement; an understanding of both geotechnical and construction materials; an appreciation of the effects of groundwater and seepage; the development of appropriate conceptual and analytical models; and above all, judgement based on knowledge of case histories and construction methods.
Perhaps the overall message must be that, in a subject as complex and wide-ranging as this, there can be no short cut to an in-depth understanding of the many specialist aspects.
An overall conceptual understanding, however, can and must be developed; this report will assist in achieving this.

Introduction to Hydrology
by Warren Viessman, Jr. and Gary L Lewis
Fourth Edition
Publisher: Prentice Hall Inc., USA
Language: English
ISBN-10: 067399337X
ISBN-13: 978-0673993373
Hardcover: 612 pages (PDF)
Water scientists and engineers of tomorrow must be equipped to address a diversity of issues such as the diesign and operation of data retrieval and storage systesm; forecasting; developing alternative water use futures; estimating water requirements for natural systems; exploring the impacts of climate change; developing more efficient systems for applying water in all water-using sectors; and analyzing and designing water managemtn systems incorporating technical, economic, environmental, social, legal and political elements. A knowledge of hydrologic princiiples is a requisite for dealing with all those issues.
This fourth edition (Introduction to Hydrology) has been designed to meet the contemporary needs of water scientists and engineers.This book is organized to accomodate students and practitioners who are concerned with the development, management and protection of water resources. The format of the book follows that of its predecessor, providing material for both an introductory and a more advanced course.
Parts 1 through 4 provide the basics for a beginning level course, while Parts 5 and 6 may be used for a more advanced course on hydrologyic modeling. This fourth edition has been updated throughout, and many solved examples have been added. In addition, new computer approaches have been introduced and problem solving techniques include the use of spreadsheets as appropriate. New features of each chapter include an introductory statement of contents and at the conclusion of the chapter, a summary of key points.
