This compilation on sustainability issues in civil engineering comprises contributions from international experts who have been working in the area of sustainability in civil engineering. Many of the contributions have been presented as keynote lectures at the International Conference on Sustainable Civil Infrastructure (ICSCI) held in Hyderabad, India.
The book has been divided into core themes of Sustainable Transportation Systems, Sustainable Geosystems, Sustainable Environmental and Water Resources and Sustainable Structural Systems. Use of sustainability principles in engineering has become an important component of the process of design and in this context, design and analysis approaches in civil engineering are being reexamined to incorporate the principles of sustainable designs and construction in practice. Developing economies are on the threshold of rapid infrastructure growth and there is a need to compile the developments in various branches of civil engineering and highlight the issues. It is this need that prompted the composition of this book. The contents of this book will be useful to students, professionals, and researchers working on sustainability related problems in civil engineering. The book also provides a perspective on sustainability for practicing civil engineers who are not directly researching the problems but are affected by the concerns in the course of their profession. The book can also serve to highlight to policy makers and governing bodies the need to have a mandate for sustainable infrastructural development.

Author(s)/Editor(s): Andrew W. Taylor, Ph.D., and Takeru Igusa, Ph.D. | Size: 7 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Scanner | Publisher: ASCE | Year: 2004 | pages: 67 | ISBN: 9780784407516
Description
Prepared by the Task Committee on Seismic Isolation of the Seismic Effects Committee of the Dynamic Effects Technical Activity Committee of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE.
This primer describes the current state of seismic isolation technology and highlights issues and concerns that are unique to the design of isolated structures. This concise book is full of practical knowledge related to base isolation design. The report includes the fundamentals of seismic isolation, the design of isolated structures, analysis, and testing. This book emphasizes practical issues, rather than theoretical issues, making it complementary to textbooks on earthquake engineering.
The overviews in this report make the subject accessible to structural engineers who have not been formally trained in base isolation design and to architects and students in a first-level engineering course.

The 2006 IBC CheckList Structural Provisions takes you step-by-step through the 2006 IBC structural design requirements to help ensure code compliance. Many details, figures and clarifications are provided to expedite the plan review process. All structural topics from loading requirements to specific detailing requirements based on system and material are included. This book provides a comprehensive list of structural comments for code requirements found in Chapters 16 through 23 of the 2006 IBC. The CheckList is especially valuable because it also includes specific comments pertaining to the following referenced structural standards: ASCE 7-05 (Loads), ACI 318-05 (Concrete), ACI 530-05/ASCE 5-05/TMS 402-05 (Masonry), AISC 360-05 (Steel), AISC 341-05 (Steel Seismic), and AF&PA NDS - 05 (Wood).
This product has been designed so that the plan reviewer can quickly go through the document and easily identify those comments that are required to generate a complete structural checklist for a specific project. A section number from the code or standard is referenced within each comment so that the user may easily refer to the provision for further clarification. Structural design professionals will also find the CheckList invaluable as a resource to assist with code compliance during the design process. It affords designers the opportunity to make necessary revisions and effectively reduce the time it takes to complete the structural plan check process.
