Instability of flows and their transition to turbulence are widespread phenomena in engineering and the natural environment. They are important in applied mathematics, astrophysics, biology, geophysics, meteorology, oceanography, physics, and engineering. This is a graduate-level textbook to introduce these phenomena by modeling them mathematically, and describing numerical simulations and laboratory experiments. The visualization of instabilities is emphasized with many figures. Many worked examples and exercises for students illustrate the ideas of the text. Readers are assumed to be fluent in linear algebra, advanced calculus, elementary theory of ordinary differntial equations, complex variable and the elements of fluid mechanics. The book is aimed at graduate students, but is very useful for specialists in other fields.

This textbook provides an accessible and comprehensive account of fluid dynamics that emphasizes fundamental physical principles and stresses connections with other branches of physics. Beginning with a basic introduction, the book goes on to cover many topics not typically treated in texts, such as compressible flow and shock waves, sound attenuation and bulk viscosity, solitary waves and ship waves, thermal convection, instabilities, turbulence, and the behavior of anisotropic, non-Newtonian and quantum fluids. Undergraduate or graduate students in physics or engineering who are taking courses in fluid dynamics will find this book invaluable.

S6 PACKAGE - Consists of CAN/CSA-S6-06, Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code; S6S1-10, Supplement #1; S6S2-11, Supplement #2 and the future S6S3-12, Supplement #3 to CAN/CSA-S6-06, Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code
Preface
This is the tenth edition of CAN/CSA-S6, Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code. It supersedes the previous edition published in 2000, which amalgamated and superseded CAN/CSA-S6-88, Design of Highway Bridges, and the Ontario Ministry of Transportation's OHBDC-91-01, Ontario Highway Bridge Design Code, 3rd ed. Earlier editions of the CSA Standard were published in 1978, 1974, 1966, 1952, 1938, 1929, and 1922. Earlier editions of the Ontario Highway Bridge Design Code were published in 1983 and 1979 by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation.
1.1 Scope
1.1.1 Scope of Code
This Code applies to the design, evaluation, and structural rehabilitation design of fixed and movable highway bridges in Canada. There is no limit on span length, but this Code does not necessarily cover all aspects of design for every type of long-span bridge. This Code also covers the design of pedestrian bridges, retaining walls, barriers, and highway accessory supports of a structural nature, e.g., lighting poles and sign support structures.
This Code is not intended to apply to public utility structures or to bridges used solely for railway or rail transit purposes.
This Code also does not specify requirements related to coastal effects (e.g., exposure to sea action and icebergs) or to mountainous terrain effects (e.g., avalanches). For structures that can be subject to such effects, specialists need to be retained to review and advise on the design and to ensure that the applicable requirements of other codes are met.
For bridges not entirely within the scope of this Code, the requirements of this Code apply only when appropriate. Necessary additional or alternative design criteria are subject to Approval.
Predicting the deflection serviceability of reinforced concrete members is fraught with uncertainties, which include imperfect knowledge of the limiting serviceability criteria, the material properties, and the load history including construction loads and the service load. The serviceability criteria can be immediate deflection/curvature or incremental deflection/curvature. Most codes offer two methods for control of deflections. The designer may choose to calculate the deflections and check that these computed deflections are less than specified allowable limits. Alternatively, the codes give specified maximum span-depth ratios for which serviceability can be assumed to be satisfied and deflections do not need to be calculated. This paper compares the deemed-tocomply span/thickness limits of ACI 318-08, CSA A23.3-04, BS 8110-97, AS 3600-2009, Eurocode 2 (2004), ACI Committee 435 revisions, and the proposals of numerous other authors.

BASIC CONCEPTS AND CONVENTIONAL METHODS OF STUCTURAL ANALYSIS (LECTURE NOTES)

I realize the profound truth that He who created all things inert as well as live is
GOD. But many things in this world are created through knowledge of some living
beings and these living beings are groomed by their teachers and through their own effort
of self study and practice.
Those who are gifted by God are exceptions and those who are gifted by their
teachers are lucky. I am thankful to God as He has been grateful to me much more than I
deserve and to my all teachers from school level to University heights as I am product of
their efforts and guidance and hence this work.

The twin sets of figures in the manual are presented as examples that demonstrate how the interfacing of stereo airphotos and satellite images in visual qualitative photogeomorphology studies can yield more geospatial information than can be derived from either source independently. The airphoto coverage in each satellite image is indicated by a frame. The photos and images are ordered into eleven sections according to the author’s taxonomic classification of genetic groups as used in his Atlas and Glossary of Geohazard-associated Geounits. The figure sets of each section are preceded by characterisations of their genetic classification context. Some airphotos are taken from those used in the Atlas, the satellite images have been down loaded from USGS Global Visualitation Viewer.

This is the first book to present a thoroughly scientific and practical approach to designing highways for maximum safety. Based on original research plus scrupulously collected data amassed over more two decades in different continents by the main author, this important book originates vital criteria for safe design and shows you how best to achieve roads with the lowest possible accident risk and severity rates. In addition, this valuable and necessary resource gives you serious help coordinating safety concerns with important economic, environmental, and aesthetic considerations. Overall the book is an invaluable source of information for educators, students, scientists, highway agencies, and consultants in the field of highway design and traffic safety engineering.

Continuum mechanics underlies many geological and geophysical phenomena, from earthquakes and faults to the fluid dynamics of the Earth. This interdisciplinary book provides geoscientists, physicists and applied mathematicians with a class-tested, accessible overview of continuum mechanics. Starting from thermodynamic principles and geometrical insights, the book surveys solid, fluid and gas dynamics. In later review chapters, it explores new aspects of the field emerging from nonlinearity and dynamical complexity and provides a brief introduction to computational modeling. Simple, yet rigorous, derivations are used to review the essential mathematics. The author emphasizes the full three-dimensional geometries of real-world examples, enabling students to apply this in deconstructing solid earth and planet-related problems. Problem sets and worked examples are provided, making this a practical resource for graduate students in geophysics, planetary physics and geology and a beneficial tool for professional scientists seeking a better understanding of the mathematics and physics within Earth sciences.
