Product Description:
In this book, authors Tenko Raykov and George A. Marcoulides introduce students to the basics of structural equation modeling (SEM) through a conceptual, nonmathematical approach. For ease of understanding, the few mathematical formulas presented are used in a conceptual or illustrative nature, rather than a computational one. Featuring examples from EQS, LISREL, and Mplus, A First Course in Structural Equation Modeling is an excellent beginner's guide to learning how to set up input files to fit the most commonly used types of structural equation models with these programs. The basic ideas and methods for conducting SEM are independent of any particular software.
Highlights of the second edition include:
* review of latent change (growth) analysis models at an introductory level;
*coverage of the popular Mplus program;
*updated examples of LISREL and EQS;
A First Course in Structural Equation Modeling is intended as an introductory book for students and researchers in psychology, education, business, medicine, and other applied social, behavioral, and health sciences with limited or no previous exposure to SEM. A prerequisite of basic statistics through regression analysis is recommended. The book frequently draws parallels between SEM and regression, making this prior knowledge helpful.

This book serves as a background for students in Structural and Civil Engineering. Since the available hours for teaching Steel Structures and particularly Tubular Structures vary from country to country, this book has been written in a modular form. To cover the needs in the various countries, a committee was established to review the material. Although the material is mainly based on the Eurocodes, the setup makes it easy to change the lectures and relate them to other (national)codes.

Discovery Channel - Extreme Engineering
Extreme Engineering is a documentary television series aired on the Discovery Channel and The Science Channel which features futuristic and ongoing engineering projects. As of 2007, the show aired its sixth season. The show has been hosted by Danny Forster since season 4. The show was renamed Build It Bigger in the US but retains its name when broadcast in Europe.

Review:
This book is very well illustrated and has adequate reference to thoer reference books. this book should be on the book shelf of every practising engineer′ THe Institution of Structural Engineers.
Product Description:
This manual for civil and structural engineers aims to simplify as much as possible a complex subject which is often treated too theoretically, by explaining in a practical way how to provide uncomplicated, buildable and economical foundations.
It explains simply, clearly and with numerous worked examples how economic foundation design is achieved. It deals with both straightforward and difficult sites, following the process through site investigation, foundation selection and, finally, design.
The book:
* includes chapters on many aspects of foundation engineering that most other books avoid including
o filled and contaminated sites
o mining and other man–made conditions
* features a step–by–step procedure for the design of lightweight and flexible rafts, to fill the gap in guidance in this much neglected, yet extremely economical foundation solution
* concentrates on foundations for building structures rather than the larger civil engineering foundations
* includes many innovative and economic solutions developed and used by the authors’ practice but not often covered in other publications
* provides an extensive series of appendices as a valuable reference source.
For the Second Edition the chapter on contaminated and derelict sites has been updated to take account of the latest guidelines on the subject, including BS 10175. Elsewhere, throughout the book, references have been updated to take account of the latest technical publications and relevant British Standards.

Shotcrete: More Engineering Developments: Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Engineering Developments in Shotcrete, October 2004, Cairns, Queensland, Australia.
E.S. Bernard
Taylor & Francis | ISBN: 0415358981 | September 15, 2004 | PDF (OCR) | 304 pages | 9107 KB
Shotcrete is an evolving technology that has seen many recent innovations introduced. These innovations have been vigorously adopted in Australia, particularly in the underground mining industry. For this reason, the use of shotcrete within Australian mines has been highlighted in many of the papers included in these proceedings. The civil tunneling industry has also been active in adopting new technologies related to shotcrete, and almost every tunnel planned or built in recent years has incorporated this material as a means of ground support. Numerous papers in these proceedings have therefore addressed issues of relevance to civil tunneling, such as post-crack performance, creep, and lining design. Other papers address topics ranging from repair, accreditation of nozzlemen, and early-age performance, to the blast resistance of shotcrete linings.
This text presents the proceedings of the Second International Conference on Engineering Developments in Shotcrete, a conference that was organized by the Australian Shotcrete Society to promote the dissemination of information about developments in shotcrete technology to the Australian and International communities. The organizing committee has included individuals from many sectors of the shotcrete industry, including contractors, material suppliers, and consultants, and assistance in staging the conference was provided by the American Shotcrete Association and the Norwegian Concrete Association.

Since the occurrence of earthquakes and their properties are very uncertain even with the present knowledge, it is too difficult to define reasonable design ground motions especially for important buildings. In the seismic resistant design of building structures, the concept of 'performance-based design' has become a new paradigm guaranteeing the maximum satisfaction of building owners. The quality and reliability of the performance-based design certainly depend on the scientific rationality of design ground motions. In order to overcome this problem, a new paradigm has to be posed. To the author's knowledge, the concept of 'critical excitation' and the structural design based upon this concept can become one of such new paradigms. This book introduces a new probabilistic and energy-based critical excitation approach to overcome several problems in the scientific and rational modelling of ground motions. The author hopes that this book will help the development of new seismic-resistant design methods of buildings for such unpredicted or unpredictable ground motions.
- First comprehensive book for critical excitation methods
- Including updated, cutting-edge research
- Applicable to other worst-case analysis problems
- Including comprehensive review of critical excitation methods
- Including verification by comprehensive recorded ground motions

Reliability-Based Design in Geotechnical Engineering: Computations and Applications
By Kok-Kwang Phoon
* Publisher: Taylor & Francis
* Number Of Pages: 530
* Publication Date: 2008-06-19
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0415396301
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780415396301
* Binding: Hardcover
Product Description:
Reliability-based design is the only engineering methodology currently available which can ensure self-consistency in both physical and probabilistic terms. It is also uniquely compatible with the theoretical basis underlying other disciplines such as structural design. It is especially relevant as geotechnical design becomes subject to increasing codification and to code harmonization across national boundaries and material types. Already some codes of practice describe the principles and requirements for safety, serviceability, and durability of structures in reliability terms.This book presents practical computational methods in concrete steps that can be followed by practitioners and students. It also provides geotechnical examples illustrating reliability analysis and design. It aims to encourage geotechnical engineers to apply reliability-based design in a realistic context that recognises the complex variabilities in geomaterials and model uncertainties arising from a profession steeped in empiricism. By focusing on learning through computations and examples, this book serves as a valuable reference for engineers and a resource for students.
