Industrial Project Management: Planning, Design, and Construction
info:
Stefano Tonchia " Industrial Project Management: Planning, Design, and Construction "
Springer; 1 edition | September 11, 2008 | English | ISBN : 3540775420 | 230 pages | PDF | 1.5MB
This book describes, in a precise but practical way, the most recent principles and techniques of project management, at the highest international standards, with a fully company-wide, process-based, multi-project approach. It is unique because of the integration of project management fundamentals with the practices of international contracting, which characterize planning, design and construction of large works (such as plants and machinery) in the industrial sectors.

The Effects of Air Pollution on Cultural Heritage
John Watt, Johan Tidblad, Vladimir Kucera, Ron Hamilton,
Springer; 1 edition (September 17, 2009)
English
0387848924
299 pages
PDF 6.98 MB
This book reviews the sources of the air pollutants responsible for building damage and the mechanisms involved. Studies investigating the relationships between pollution concentration (dose) and the resulting damage (response) are described and the latest research findings for dose-response functions are presented.
Trends in pollutant emissions, ambient concentrations and building damage over time are described and future predictions are presented. Methodologies for assessing the extent of the potential problem in a region - the stock at risk - are presented. Procedures for estimating the economic implications are described and the consequences are discussed in detail, because economic factors are important for reaching policy and management decisions at local, national and international scales.
Damage to cultural heritage buildings is an important additional effect which needs to be considered as the standards are revised and the factors which will need to be brought into the assessment are presented.

Integrated Watershed Management: Connecting People to their Land and Water
info:
H. Gregersen, P. Ffolliott, K. Brookes, "Integrated Watershed Management: Connecting People to their Land and Water"
CABI (January 10, 2008) | English | 1845932811 | 216 pages | PDF | 1.54 MB
As human populations expand and demands upon natural resources increase, the need to manage the environments in which people live becomes more important but also more difficult. Land and water management is especially critical as the use of upstream watersheds can drastically affect large numbers of people living in downstream watersheds. An integrated approach that stresses both the importance of participatory planning and the institutional and technical constraints and opportunities is therefore necessary. The institutional and technical context for managing watersheds and river basins, including the involvement of both the public and private sectors, is also examined.

Construction economics is a core component of a wide range of undergraduate courses in the built environment. Consequently students need to grasp quickly the basic principles of economic theory and see how this relates to a unique and complex industry. In addition this needs to be seen in a modern context and this new approach adopts the argument that economics is central to understanding the recent government initiatives concerning sustainable construction. Traditionally economics is regarded as a challenging subject, so it needs to be presented in a very clear and user-friendly framework. This textbook provides brief summaries every few pages to clarify the key points that are covered. Conceptual terms are highlighted and collected at the back of the book to form a supporting glossary of construction economics. Important definitions and formulas are picked out in second color. Brief extracts from academic journals link the book to primary literature, and are used to consolidate and prompt discussion.And finally website reviews are used to set the scene for each of the three parts comprising the text. Students across a wide range of disciplines, ranging from construction management and construction engineering through to architecture, property and surveying should find this an invaluable textbook.
