Water Resources Systems Planning and Management considers how water resources can become more integrated and sustainable. It introduces the science and art of modelling in support of water resources planning and management. The authors draw on their extensive experience to provide a variety of management tools that can be used in water resources system planning, development and management projects worldwide.
The information, examples, case studies and range of exercises included in this book will facilitate the process of becoming a skilled water resources systems modeller, analyst and planner. It will serve many students, teachers, and practising water resource engineers and planners in the years to come.
Daniel P. Louks is Professor of Civil Engineering at Cornell University in the USA.
Eelco Van Beek is a water resource specialist and manager of the freshwater systems group within WL - Delft Hydraulics in the Netherlands.
This book introduces the use of quantitative methods for identifying and evaluating alternative water resources management plans and policies. It can serve water resources engineers and planners as a useful guide. It presents ways of obtaining useful information for managing the world’s vital water resources.
The book builds on ‘Water Resources Systems Planning and Analysis’ by Loucks, Stedinger and Haith, published by Prentice Hall in 1981. It not only rigorously updates this text, but it also introduces new modelling methods and case studies. The graphics presented are innovative and in colour. The enclosed CD contains exercises, software and copies of all the figures and tables for use in presentations.
All models discussed in this book are designed for application on microcomputers. The software used to illustrate the solutions to various linear and non-linear optimisation problems can be obtained free of charge and downloaded from the Internet. Commonly available spreadsheet software can also be used.

Hi everybody,
I am looking for new ACI-report - ACI 360R-10" Guide to Design of Slabs-on-Ground", released in April 2010.
If anybody has it, please share it.
I'm looking for BS 3921 British Standard Specification for Clay Bricks
or BS EN 771-1 European Standard Specification for clay masonry units. Does anyone have them?
Many thanks in advance!

# Offers a companion Web site with code downloads for students and a special area reserved for instructorsSolutions Manual available for qualifying course adoptions!
Summary
Designing structures using composite materials poses unique challenges due especially to the need for concurrent design of both material and structure. Students are faced with two options: textbooks that teach the theory of advanced mechanics of composites, but lack computational examples of advanced analysis; and books on finite element analysis that may or may not demonstrate very limited applications to composites. But now there is third option that makes the other two obsolete: Ever J. Barbero's Finite Element Analysis of Composite Materials.
By layering detailed theoretical and conceptual discussions with fully developed examples, this text supplies the missing link between theory and implementation. In-depth discussions cover all of the major aspects of advanced analysis, including three-dimensional effects, viscoelasticity, edge effects, elastic instability, damage, and delamination. More than 50 complete examples using mainly ANSYS™, but also including some use of MATLAB®, demonstrate how to use the concepts to formulate and execute finite element analyses and how to interpret the results in engineering terms. Additionally, the source code for each example is available for download online.
Cementing applied computational and analytical experience to a firm foundation of basic concepts and theory, Finite Element Analysis of Composite Materials offers a modern, practical, and versatile classroom tool for today's engineering classroom.

Description.
A core text for one-semester, undergraduate/graduate-level courses in Soil Mechanics and a supplement for courses in Geotechnical Engineering.
Innovative in perspective, this text offers a modern approach to basic experimental techniques for the determination of soil properties. It contains more than twenty hands-on laboratory experiments. Spreadsheet programs are included for data processing and graphical results
Features.
+ Focuses on the experimental techniques of soil mechanics -- and the basic principles underlying the techniques.
+ Considers recent developments in experimental techniques as well as standard testing procedures.
+ Contains a progressive series of twenty-two experiments. Provides for each:
-Theory
-Equipment
-Experimental procedures (illustrated with photos and illustrations)
-Data processing
-Review questions and exercises
+ Modernizes the processing of experimental data with spreadsheets on personal computers.
-Includes a floppy disk (Microsoft Excel for Windows and MAC platforms) with examples of processed experimental data sets.
-Offers several unprocessed data sets (in exercises) of laboratory experiments).
+ Gives typical values of soil properties and empirical correlations to compare with classroom or laboratory results.
+ Provides suggestions for preparing organized laboratory reports.

Hardcover: 592 pages
Publisher: Prentice-Hall of India Pvt.Ltd (Mar 30 2005)

Foundation Engineering is of prime importance to undergraduate and postgraduate students of civil engineering as well as to practising engineers. For, there is no construction - be it buildings (government, commercial and residential), bridges, highways, or dams - that does not draw from the principles and application of this subject. Unlike many textbooks on Geotechnical Engineering that deal with both Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering, this text gives an exclusive treatment and an indepth analysis of Foundation Engineering.
What distinguishes the text is that it not merely equips the students with the necessary knowledge for the course and examination, but provides a solid foundation for further practice in their profession later. In addition, as the book is based on the Codes prescribed by the Bureau of Indian Standards, students of Indian universities will find it particularly useful.
The author is specialized in both Soil Mechanics and Structural Engineering; he studied Soil Mechanics under the guidance of Prof. Terzaghi and Prof. Casagrande of Harvard University - the pioneers of the subject. Similarly, he studied Structural Engineering under Prof. A.L.L. Baker of Imperial College, London, the pioneer of Limit State Design. These specializations coupled with over 50 years of teaching experience of the author make this text authoritative and exhaustive.
Intended as a text for undergraduate (Civil Engineering) and postgraduate (Geotechnical Engineering and Structural Engineering) students, the book would also be found highly useful to practising engineers and young academics teaching the course.
this is my first post and i m posting IRC codes.
hope will b helpful.
Kevin
