This second edition is an enlarged, completely updated, and extensively revised version of the authoritative first edition. It is devoted to the detailed study of illuminating specific problems of nonlinear elasticity, directed toward the scientist, engineer, and mathematician who wish to see careful treatments of precisely formulated problems. Special emphasis is placed on role of nonlinear material response. The mathematical tools from nonlinear analysis are given self-contained presentations where they are needed. This book begins with chapters on (geometrically exact theories of) strings, rods, and shells, and on the applications of bifurcation theory and the calculus of variations to problems for these bodies. The book continues with chapters on tensors, three-dimensional continuum mechanics, three-dimensional elasticity, large-strain plasticity, general theories of rods and shells, and dynamical problems. Each chapter contains a wealth of interesting, challenging, and tractable exercises.

Open-Channel Flow
M. Hanif Chaudhry
Springer 2007
ISBN-10: 0387301747
523 Pages
PDF 28,4 MB
Analysis of open-channel flow is essential for the planning, design, and operation of water-resource projects. The use of computers and the availability of efficient computational procedures has simplified such analysis, and made it possible to handle increasingly complex systems. In "Open-Channel Flow, Second Edition", author Hanif Chaudhry draws upon years of practical experience and incorporates numerous examples and real life applications, to provide the reader with: a strong emphasis on the application of efficient solution techniques, computational procedures, and numerical methods suitable for computer analyses; complete coverage of steady and unsteady flow techniques; a new chapter on sediment transport and updated chapters on uniform flow and two dimensional flow techniques; and, new and updated problem sets and exercises, a solutions manual for instructors, and a CD-ROM with short computer programs in FORTRAN that include the input data for sample problems and the associated computer output. "Open-Channel Flow, Second Edition" is written for students in senior-level undergraduate and graduate courses on steady and unsteady open-channel flow and for civil engineers needing up-to-date and relevant information on the latest developments and techniques in the field.

Water Sanitary and Waste Service for Buildings
F.E. Wise, John Swaffield
Butterworth-Heinemann
2002
ISBN: 0750652551
Pages: 288
Water, sanitary and waste services represent a substantial proportion of the cost of construction, averaging 10% of the capital costs of building and with continuing costs in operation and maintenance. Nevertheless, they are often regarded as a 'Cinderella' within the building process. Parts of many different codes and regulations impact on these services, making an overall viewpoint more difficult to get.
This new edition of this classic text draws together material from a variety of sources to provide the comprehensive coverage not available elsewhere. It is a resource for the sound design, operation and maintenance of these services and should be on the bookshelf of every building services engineer and architect.
*Provides comprehensive coverage of an important subject
*Includes the latest water regulations which will affect the construction industry widely from 2001
*Written by acknowledged experts in the field

Author: Zongjin Li (Author), Christopher Leung (Author), Yunping Xi (Author) | Size: 7.71 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Spon Press; 1 edition | Year: March 12, 2009 | pages: 368 | ISBN: 0415423716, 9780415423717
The mechanisms by which buildings and infrastructures degrade are complex, as are the procedures and methods for inspection and for rehabilitation.
This book examines the various problems caused by non-uniform deformation changes, poor durability, and natural and human disasters such as earthquakes and fire. Attention is given to the causes and mechanisms of the deterioration. General procedures and commonly used techniques for inspection and evaluation of existing infrastructures are introduced. The desk study, destructive test, and non-destructive test are discussed – in particular the newly developed non-destructive methods for deterioration monitoring. The book then moves on to conventional renovation techniques such as patch and steel plate strengthening, which meet the requirements of normal practice. Special attention is paid to compatibility between repair materials and degraded materials. Fibrous composite materials are then introduced as a basis for innovative repair techniques, and different fibre and matrix properties are outlined, as are newly developed inorganic binders as a matrix for fibrous composites. Finally, advanced rehabilitation techniques using fibrous composite are described. Fundamental issues such as bonding and failure mechanisms are then discussed in detail. Fibrous composite strengthening techniques for beam, wall, column and slabs are covered, including shear strengthening, flexural strengthening, and fillet winding, as are codes of practice for retrofitting with fibrous composites.
This caters to students and academics world-wide and serves as a "tool book" for concrete and structural engineering professionals.
