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.

This straightforward text, primer and reference introduces the theoretical, testing and control aspects of structural dynamics and vibration, as practised in industry today. Written by an expert engineer of over 40 years experience, the book comprehensively opens up the dynamic behavior of structures and provides engineers and students with a comprehensive practice based understanding of the key aspects of this key engineering topic. Key features Worked example based makes it a thoroughly practical resource Aimed at those studying to enter, and already working in industry; Presents an applied practice and testing based approach while remaining grounded in the theory of the topic Makes the topic as easy to read as possible, omitting no steps in the development of the subject; Includes the use of computer based modelling techniques and finite elements Covers theory, modelling testing and control in practice Written with the needs of engineers of a wide range of backgrounds in mind, this book will be a key resource for those studying structural dynamics and vibration at undergraduate level for the first time in aeronautical, mechanical, civil and automotive engineering. It will be ideal for laboratory classes and as a primer for readers returning to the subject, or coming to it fresh at graduate level. It is a guide for students to keep and for practicing engineers to refer to: its worked example approach ensures that engineers will turn to Thorby for advice in many engineering situations. 1. Presents students and practitioners in all branches of engineering with a unique structural dynamics resource and primer, covering practical approaches to vibration engineering while remaining grounded in the theory of the topic 2. Written by a leading industry expert, with a worked example lead approach for clarity and ease of understanding 3. Makes the topic as easy to read as possible, omitting no steps in the development of the subject; covers computer based techniques and finite elements.

Performance-based engineering, use of energy dissipating devices, earthquake-resistant design, and other techniques in earthquake engineering have come of age in the last decade. Following a brief overview of traditional methods, Earthquake Engineering: From Engineering Seismology to Performance-Based Engineering presents the details of these recent advances in a single volume. The book elucidates advances in scientific knowledge, summarizes recent research project findings, covers design guidelines, and discusses the future challenges and directions.Highlights include:· Historical development of earthquake engineering and its modern goal· Geosciences principles needed to define seismic hazards· Geotechnical hazards and engineering characterizations of ground motion· Deterministic and probabilistic methods of analysis· Performance-based earthquake engineering, its applications, and future direction· Innovative strategies and techniques, including seismic isolation and energy dissipation devices· Seismic behavior and earthquake-resistant design of building structural systems using different structural materials such as reinforced concrete, steel, masonry, and wood· Seismic analysis and design of nonstructural elementsThe multi-disciplinary nature of earthquake engineering is reflected in the diversity of the chapter authors. The book is the result of an enormous amount of time and energy spent by a panel of distinguished contributors whose collective experience exceeds 500 years of teaching, research, and practice.

Urban Transportation Networks: Equilibrium Analysis With Mathematical Programming Methods

Urban Transportation Networks: Equilibrium Analysis With Mathematical Programming Methods
Publisher: Prentice Hall | pages: 416 | 1985 | ISBN: 0139397299 | PDF
This book describes how this flow pattern can be determined for an urban road network by modeling these two mechanisms (travel decisions and congestion). The analytical approach described in this text draws on analogies between the two mechanisms mentioned here and the interaction of supply and demand in the marketplace. Instead of analyzing the price of a product and the quantity consumed, the analysis here looks at transportation level of service (or its inverse, travel disutility) and flows. The results of the analysis include a set of flow and a set of level-of-service measures that are at equilibrium with each other.
