In the developed world the design and construction of all aspects of the built environment are regulated by rules and procedures which help prevent failures. When compared to the volume of construction undertaken, the number of failures of buildings and other structures is thankfully small. However, this reality is not reflected on a global basis. Failures do occur, some making headline news, and for a variety of reasons. As such information about failures is vital to make construction even safer. This book has been written by a number of distinguished international experts, and considers numerous facets of what has become termed by many forensic engineering. It covers the spectrum of this discipline with chapters on: risk assessment and management; aspects of the law and construction insurance; limiting the incidence of failures; how failures have been investigated; and remedial works carried out. Numerous case studies and examples from across the world cover not only modern buildings, structures and elements, but some buildings that can truly be described as historic. The spread and depth of topics covered is remarkable and illustrates the importance of this subject in modern engineering and design.

The purpose of this book is to provide a method for planning, scheduling and controlling projects using Primavera Version 7 and earlier versions within an established Enterprise Project database or a blank database up to an intermediate Ievei.
This book covers the following topics:
• Understand the steps required to create a project plan and monitor a project's progress
• Understand the Primavera P6 environment
• Create a project and set up the preferences
• Define calendars
• Creating aWork Breakdown Structure and adding activities
• Format the display
• Add logic and constraints
• Use Filters, Group, Sort and Layouts
• Print reports
• Record and track progress of an unresourced schedule
• User and Administration Preferences and Scheduling Options
• Create and assign roles and resources
• Resource optimization including leveling
• Update a project containing resources
• Other methods of organizing data and Global Change
• Managing the enterprise environment including multiple project scheduling

The finite element method is a powerful tool even for non-linear materials’ modeling. But commercial solutions are limited and many novel materials do not follow standard constitutive equations on a macroscopic scale. Thus, is it required that new constitutive equations are implemented into the finite element code. However, it is not sufficient to simply implement only the equations but also an appropriate integration algorithm for the constitutive equation must be provided. This book is restricted to one-dimensional plasticity in order to reduce and facilitate the mathematical formalism and theory and to concentrate on the basic ideas of elasto-plastic finite element procedures. A comprehensive set of completely solved problems is designed for the thorough understand of the presented theory. After working with this new book and reviewing the provided solved and supplementary problems, it should be much easier to study and understand the advanced theory and the respective text books.

There are many types of wells in use, and the type that is chosen by a builder, home owner, or architect is often determined by local conditions.
shallow wells are not always an option. And when they are,they may not be the best choice. Drilled wells can be used in all building plans, but they are expensive.
This book includes 12 chapters :
Chapter 1 TYPES OF WELLS
Chapter 2 TYPES OF WELL PUMPS
Chapter 3 PUMP SELECTION
Chapter 4 WELL PRESSURE TANKS
Chapter 5 WELL PIPING CHOICES
Chapter 6 WELL SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Chapter 7 ELECTRICAL FACTS AND FIGURES
Chapter 8 JET PUMP INSTALLATIONS
Chapter 9 SUBMERSIBLE PUMP INSTALLATION
Chapter 10 BOOSTER PUMPS
Chapter 11 WATER QUALITY
Chapter 12 TROUBLESHOOTING AND REPAIRS

The classic book on the effects of Nuclear Weapons, written with extreme scientific detail, is a MUST HAVE for anyone working in Homeland Security, Emergency Services or in any other Civil Defense capacity. This book is especially important for information services that must be able to provide accurate information in the aftermath of a Nuclear Attack.

Ground bearing concrete floors, industrial concrete hardstandings and concrete highway pavements have not, in the past, been perceived as a single type of structural element and their construction has taken place independently of each other. This is in spite of their obvious commonality in the areas of design, materials, geotechnical appreciation and construction.
Ground Bearing Concrete Slabs has been specifically written to break down the walls that have arisen between these three areas and focus on the issues that are common to them all.
This book attempts to integrate the three crucial phases in the development of ground bearing concrete slabs: design, specification and construction.
Much existing guidance majors on one of these phases.
New design methods, which are based upon an ultimate limit state analytical approach, are being introduced into ground floor slab design and these methods are described in this book.

Robotic fabrication in architecture, art, and design is a relatively young discipline, whose focus is on applied research, performed on the one hand by young designers, artists and researchers from the “digital generation” and on the other by innovative firms and startups, researching applications that go beyond typical industry solutions. This
is reflected in the structure of this book, which does not consist solely of full-length scientific papers but has four distinct sections: workshop papers, research papers, project papers, and industry papers.
