This book aims to consolidate academic knowledge on distributed optical fibre sensing into a practical guide in order to demonstrate the capabilities of fibre optic strain sensing, the opportunities it can offer to the construction industry, and how it can be implemented to monitor geotechnical infrastructures.
An invaluable guide for all students and graduate engineers wanting navigation throughprojects at the start of their careers. Included in the 7th edition are new case studies drawnfrom industrial partners and updated coverage of BIM, CDM and sustainability.
Structural Analysis raises the readers' overall awareness of structural and material nonlinearityand equips students with the ability to demonstrate the influence of non-linearity onstructural analysis.
Addresses the changes, continuing its established series of events, namely, Challenges of Concrete Construction in 2002, Creating with Concrete in 1999, Concrete in the Service of Mankind in 1996, and more. This work consists of ten events and 420 papers presented from 68 countries, and is useful to engineers, material scientists, and others.
The Concrete Technology Unit of the University of Dundee organized a congress, to address the changes required to turn opportunities into beneficial practices, in 10 events. This book forms the proceedings of the second event, and deals with issues such as bridges, tunnels, concrete pavements, marine infrastructure and regulations.
There are opportunities and some threats in concrete. For these opportunities to change into beneficial practice, engineers must focus on the changes that are required to champion concrete in the construction industry. This book deals with issues like service life, durability, globalisation of standards, fire and seismic design and regulations.
Concrete is at something of a crossroads: there are opportunities and threats. The Concrete Technology Unit (CTU) of the University of Dundee organised a Congress, under the theme Global Construction: Ultimate Concrete Opportunities, 5-7 July 2005, consisted of ten Events. The contents of this book forms the Proceeding of Event 10.
There are opportunities and threats in concrete. For these opportunities to change into beneficial practice, engineers must focus on the changes that are required to champion concrete. This book deals with issues such as constituent materials and concrete requirements and considerations for nuclear infrastructure.
Based on the convention of Global Construction: Ultimate Concrete Opportunities, 5-7 July 2005, this book deals with issues such as degradation of concrete structures, repair materials and enhancements, renovation and management strategies.
Concrete Bridges is a valuable tool for the practising engineer with an interest in the design and construction of bridges, providing a deeper understanding of the methods used and how they are verified against design codes.
A guide to producing graphics for urban design projects and planning. It demonstrates how urban regeneration has inspired a growth and mixture of graphic techniques for communicating a projects vision. It also includes methods for producing hand-rendered or computer-generated visuals and details the planning process.
Strategic Management of Flood Risk offers a holistic approach for flood risk management to communities. This supports the practical consideration of the full range of flood behaviour in decisions that influence this risk.
