Product Description
The resources, tools, and concepts presented in this report pull from the unique perspectives and expertise of an array of engineering disciplines convened for an international workshop sponsored by AIME, and co-sponsored by the American Society for Civil Engineers (ASCE) and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), to forge a common understanding of the role and responsibility of engineering in achieving global sustainability. The workshop findings are presented within the following topic areas, while highlighting linkages between and among the specific societal sectors under examination:
Human Needs: Encompasses engineering impacts on water, food, and health.
Infrastructure: Examines issues in transportation, housing, and urban design.
The Resource Cycle: Provides a comprehensive overview of considerations affecting energy, mineral resources, materials, and recycling.
Human Resources: Highlights strategies for unlocking the fullest potential of scientists and engineers-through new approaches in education, policy engagement, and holistic design-to achieve real progress in sustainable development.
Linking Technologies to Resources: Presents a Technology and Resources Matrix, designed as a communication tool for guiding research and policy actions within various engineering disciplines.
The publication also serves as a valuable compendium of sustainable engineering resources presented as part of the workshop process, including an extensive bibliography and recommended readings section and a summary of key, cross-cutting initiatives recommended as priorities because of their potential transformative impact.
From the Back Cover
A wealth of resources and topics of discussion from the Engineering Solutions for Sustainability: Materials and Resources workshop held in Switzerland in 2009
Natural resources are the lifeblood of agricultural and industrial endeavors that contribute to our social and economic well-being. Yet, even as these resources dwindle from mismanagement, there is still no clear consensus in the engineering community of what actually defines "sustainable engineering."
This publication offers the engineering profession a multi-disciplinary blueprint for action by presenting topics of discussion from the Engineering Solutions for Sustainability: Materials and Resources workshop held at the école Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland, July 22–24, 2009. It includes an extensive bibliography and recommended readings section, and a summary of key, cross-cutting initiatives recommended as priorities because of their potential to create common principles for advancing societal sustainability through technological, educational, and public policy solutions.
The resources, tools, and concepts delivered in this report draw from the unique perspectives and expertise of an array of engineering disciplines, represented by delegates from the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers (AIME), the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE). The intent of this publication is to forge a better understanding of the role and responsibility of engineering in achieving global sustainability, while also laying the foundation for an ongoing and productive interdisciplinary dialogue in other forums.

Many building projects are the subject of claims – the assertion of a right, usually by the contractor, to an extension of the contract period or an additional payment under the terms of the building contract. Many of these claims are unsound or ill-founded, often because the basic principles are misunderstood.
This highly regarded book examines the legal basis of claims for extensions of time and additional payment, and what can and cannot be claimed under the main forms of contract. It includes chapters dealing with direct loss and expense, liquidated damages, extension of time, concurrency problems, acceleration, time at large, common law and contractual claims, global claims, and heads of claim and their substantiation. With the publication of the fifth edition, Building Contract Claims has been thoroughly revised to ensure it is fully up to date with the latest contracts, court judgments and building practice. Changes include:
Coverage of over 60 additional relevant court cases
Coverage of the 2005 JCT contracts suite
Coverage of changes to the NEC contract
Coverage of additional contracts such as Constructing Excellence; Measured Term Contract and the ACA PPC2000 contract together with the 2005 relevant JCT sub-contracts
Important changes to liquidated damages and to extensions of time, and the giving of notices
Appendix 1 has been substantially revised
Like its predecessors, the fifth edition of Building Contract Claims will be essential reading for architects, contract administrators, project managers and quantity surveyors, as well as contractors, contracts consultants and construction lawyers.

This book presents the proceedings of the 21st European Young Geotechnical Engineers Conference, held in the Netherlands in September 2011. Six sections cover the topics of: underground construction; pile foundation and ground improvement; soil dynamics; dams, erosion and piping; deformation and soil properties and geothermics. The papers included here present the new and refreshing perspective of young engineers exploring the field of geotechnics. Geotechnical engineering aims to contribute to sustainable living and to the creation of safe, economic and pleasant spaces to live, work and relax.

SUMMARY
Proceeding on the assumption that the seismic noise wavefield mainly consists of surface waves generated by a random distribution of independent, point-like and harmonic sources, we modelled a set of relationships that allows us to interpret empirical H/V and apparent dispersion curves in terms of the dynamic properties of a viscoelastic layered Earth. This formalization can be used to determine the effect of material damping on the expected noise wavefield in cases where the sources are relatively distant from the receivers and where the frequencies taken into account are higher than the fundamental resonance frequency of the local subsoil. Numerical experiments indicate that such effects are significant on the H/V ratio curve, whereas the apparent dispersion curve appears to be less strongly influenced by damping. This finding opens new perspectives for the use of noise measurements to infer the in situ anelastic properties of subsoil from passive seismic measurements made at the surface.
