Organic Materials in Civil Engineering
Publisher: ISTE Publishing | Pages: 320 | 2008-02-04 | ISBN 1905209118 | PDF | 3 MB
This book provides an inventory of organic materials and products, the major components of all civil engineering projects, in terms of their scientific and technical background, including the regulations that cover their use and their predicted useful life.
Such materials include: bitumen on the roads; geotextiles for retaining walls; membranes for bridges; tunnel and reservoir waterproofing; paint binders to protect metallic and concrete structures or to create road markings; injection resins; gluing products; concrete admixtures; and composite materials.
The presentation is based on a physicochemical approach, which is essential if these products are to be considered as part of sustainable development: as such, those studying or working in these fields will find this an invaluable source of information

A. Barrie Pittock "Climate Change : Turning Up the Heat"
Published by CSIRO Publishing | Publication date : October 2005 | ISBN : 0643069313 | PDF | 329 pages | English | 5.5 MB
Climate Change: Turning up the Heat explains how our attitudes toward risk and uncertainty - constant companions in life - influence our decision-making and, ultimately, how much we and future generations stand to lose from rapid climate change. It outlines the current concerns of the major international players and reviews the response to date, detailing national interests. Importantly, it shows there is real hope of managing climate change and minimizing the risk of disaster if we step up efforts to develop and apply innovative technological and policy solutions.
Barrie Pittock, one of the world's leading climate researchers, argues that we need to act urgently to avoid increasingly severe climate change. This timely book sorts fact from fiction as the author examines the arguments surrounding the reality of climate change and the divergent views of greenhouse skeptics and doom-and-gloom alarmists.
Pittock looks at the controversy around global warming and other predicted changes, especially:
• The scientific basis of the changes observed to date
• How they relate to natural variations
• Why the evidence points to larger changes later this century

Ralf Riedel, "Handbook of Ceramic Hard Materials"
Wiley-VCH; 1 edition (January 15, 2000) | English | 3527299726 | 1088 pages | PDF | 57.34 MB
Corrosion, friction and wear protection are of great importance in researchand development of new engineering materials. Ceramic materials exhibiting an extraordinary hardness are often first choice in applications of high mechanical stress.
In this reference work the different application areas of these hard materials are discussed as well as the chemical and physical basics of these special material properties. The book is of high importance especially for materials scientists and engineers, solid-state chemists and physicists involved in the research and development of new ceramic hard materials and coatings.

Low-Enthalpy Geothermal Resources for Power Generation
info:
D. Chandrasekharam, Jochen Bundschuh, "Low-Enthalpy Geothermal Resources for Power Generation"
Taylor & Francis; 1 edition (January 7, 2008) | English | 0415401682 | 172 pages | PDF | 10.04 MB
In many developing countries the exponentially growing electricity demand can be covered by using locally available, sustainable low-enthalpy geothermal resources (80-150 °C). Such low-enthalpy sources can make electricity generation more independent from oil imports or from the over-dependence on hydropower.
Until now this huge energy resource has only been used by some developed countries like the USA, Iceland and New Zealand.
The reason why low-enthalpy geothermal resources are not used for electricity generation is that there is still a misconception that low-enthalpy thermal fluids are fit only for direct application.
The advancement of drilling technology, development of efficient heat exchangers and deployment of high sensitive binary fluids contribute to the useful application of this energy resource on a much wider scale.
This book focuses on all aspects of low enthalpy geothermal thermal fluids. It will be an important source book for all scientists working on geothermal energy development. Specifically those involved in research in developing countries rich in such thermal resources, and for agencies involved in bilateral and international cooperation.

Guidance on the practical aspects of fabrication which influence the efficient design of steel bridges. Extensive consultation has taken place with experts in the design, fabrication and erection of steel bridges and, there, this publication represents a compilation of many years' knowledge and experience. Steel designs based on these concepts have proved competitive against more traditional designs.

This book provides practical advice on the issues that affect the efficient detailing of steelwork connections. There is always pressure in the design office to produce details which convert the client's aspirations in to nuts and bolts. The chapters on connection detailing, cost, simple design and basic fabrication give advice on how to create practical structures. Other chapters provide the reader with an insight into connection behaviour and the on-going developments in the "green books". The reader is brought up-to-date on developments in specialist areas of steelwork design and details. These include articles on bridgework, hollow section joints, tension connections, towers and masts and the recent developments with structural fasteners. The publication also contains a rich array of architectural details from actual structures and allows both engineers and architects to interrogate them.
