A resource for land development analysis, planning, and decision-making. It helps you to calculate the development capacity and construction costs of both vacant and developed land. It focuses on sustainability, taking into consideration the surrounding environment and the preservation of open space.

Presents a compilation of various tables, data, facts and formulae that are needed for scheme design by structural engineers. This book contains the facts and figures needed for preliminary design whether in the office, on-site or in the IStructE Part 3 Exam.

Offering an introduction to land use planning, this book covers infrastructure systems planning and development. It stresses basic concepts and principles of practice involved in urban planning as most widely practiced, particularly in small and medium sized communities. It presents zoning, land subdivision control, and official mapping.

Of interest to academics, researchers, designers and engineers, this title deals with theoretical modelling, computerized analyses and engineering design of thin-walled structures and shell structural elements.

Due to strong potential applications and more demanding requirements imposed upon long and thick cylindrical structures, there has been research and development activities in the field of vibration and passive vibration control of these types of structures. This book addresses these problems by applying the theory of elasto-dynamics.

Offers an introduction to the design of structural elements in concrete, steel, timber, masonry and composites. This work presents design principles and guidance in line with both British Standards and Eurocodes.

Presents the secrets of materials science. This book explains the importance and properties of different structures.

This title combines the essential components of Braja Das' texts, 'Principles of Geotechnical Engineering' and 'Principles of Foundation Engineering'. It includes the fundamental concepts of soil mechanics as well as foundation engineering.

Useful as an introductory text in soil mechanics, this book offers an overview of soil properties and mechanics, together with coverage of field practices and basic engineering procedure. Using figures and worked out problems, it also provides the background information required to support further study.

Reflects the diversity of advances in geosciences and built environment with a broad perspective. Suitable for scientists as well as graduate students and engineers, this book presents research from around the world in this dynamic field which is relevant to the geoscience and built environment community.

This text introduces the U-transformation method, used for the exact analysis of structures with the periodic property. The physical meaning of U-transformation is fully explained and the application of this technique to derive exact analytical solutions is thoroughly illustrated.

Semi-rigid steel frames are revolutionizing structural design. This book is a practical professional reference, covering analytical methods for the evaluation of connection flexibility and its influence on the stability of the entire framework.

A theoretical treatment of nonlinear behaviour of solids and structures, suitable for numerical computation. Includes exercises, examples and algorithms throughout.

Offers designers, builders, and students a fresh understanding of structural principles and planning. This title helps them make informed decisions for architectural design.

This text aims to teach the basic principles of structures via simple explanations of the theory and numerous worked examples. The emphasis throughout is on problem based learning. The worked examples start from a fundamental level and progress to more intricate and taxing problems.

Provides an introduction to the principles and methods used in the design of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures. This book contains examples to illustrate the various aspects of design involved. It is useful students and practitioners and offers a guide to the basic theory and to design procedures.

Limit and shakedown analysis for structures can provide a very useful tool for design and analysis of engineering structures. This book offers more general solutions of limit and shakedown analysis for structures by using a unified strength theory.

This thoroughly up dated second edition of Structural Detailing in Concrete covers a wide range of topics in order to simplify and reduce the work required to prepare structural drawings and details in reinforced, prestressed, precast and composite concrete. It covers the full scope of structural detailing in the UK, Europe and USA including the fundamentals of drawing, continuing with drafting ..

The success of a repair or rehabilitation project depends on the specific plans designed for it. This book provides guidance on evaluating the condition of the concrete in a structure, relating the condition of the concrete to the underlying cause or causes of that condition.

The Technology of Refurbishment and Maintenance.
