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.

Urban Transportation Networks: Equilibrium Analysis With Mathematical Programming Methods
info:
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.

Emergence, Analysis and Evolution of Structures: Concepts and Strategies Across Disciplines

Emergence, Analysis and Evolution of Structures: Concepts and Strategies Across Disciplines
Klaus Lucas, Peter Roosen,
Springer
2009
ISBN: 3642008690
310 pages
PDF 6,4 MB
The study of structures and structure generating processes is a common concern of all scientific and technical disciplines.
The present volume presents an interdisciplinary investigation of the different methods of analysis and modelling which, while differing considerably in detail, usually have evolutionary adaption or development schemes at their core.
The book naturally falls into three parts - a first part summarizing the transdisciplinary fundamentals, a second part discussing in detail case studies from various fields (production engineering, medicine, management, molecular biology, energy engineering, civil engineering, logistics, sociology, physics) and a shorter outlook on the transdisciplinary perspective.

As the most widely adopted new physics text in more than 50 years, Knight’s Physics for Scientists and Engineers was published to widespread critical acclaim from professors and students. In this eagerly awaited second edition, Knight builds on the research-proven instructional techniques he introduced, as well as national data of student performance, to take student learning even further. Knight’s unparalleled insight into student learning difficulties, and his impeccably skillful crafting of text and figures at every level – from macro to micro – to address these difficulties, results in a uniquely effective and accessible book, leading students to a deeper and better-connected understanding of the concepts and more proficient problem-solving skills.
Building on an NSF-sponsored educational research program and input from tens of thousands of student users, the second edition refines and extends the pedagogical innovations that years of use has now shown to be effective. Unprecedented analysis of national student metadata has allowed every problem to be systematically enhanced for educational effectives, and to ensure problem sets of ideal topic coverage, balance of qualitative and quantitative problems, and range of difficulty and duration.
The second edition comes with the latest edition of MasteringPhysics™- the most advanced, educationally effective (as shown by gains in student exams scores and independent tests), and widely used online physics tutorial and homework system in the world. It provides the largest library of research-based tutorials and textbook problems available, and automatic grading of activities as wide ranging as numerical problems with randomized values and algebraic answers to free-hand drawn graphs and free-body diagrams.
