Refurbishment and Repair in Construction Edited by

Edited by

David Doran, James Douglas, Richard Pratley

C. Maierhofer, H. W. Reinhardt, and G. Dobmann

Because it requires working within the restraints of a pre-determined situation, the nature of refurbishment and repair differs markedly from new-build work. First and foremost, it is essential for those involved in this type of work to gain an intimate knowledge of the structure under consideration. This book suggests ways of seeking this knowledge. It proceeds logically through the reasons to consider refurbishment and repair and offers advice on risks, discovery, contracts, and materials, addressing lessons learned from the past. Case studies illustrate best practices and extensive bibliographies assist in further research.

Many concrete structures and elements of concrete infrastructure such as roads and bridges have exceeded their original design lives and are deteriorating to an extent where they are becoming dangerous. This breakdown can be internal and not obvious, and therefore becomes evident only through detailed testing. Older methods of testing often involved damaging the structure, but this book provides a comprehensive review of the latest developments in non-destructive evaluation of reinforced concrete structures. It also examines the principles of deterioration and discusses classic testing methods. Catalog no. N10170, ISBN: 978-1-4398-2976-9 July 2010, 6 x 9 Suggested Price: $139.95 / £89.00

A Handbook of Tropical Residual Soil Engineering Edited by

B. B. K. Huat University of Putra Malaysia, Selangor, Malaysia

David Toll

Modern Well Design

University of Durham, UK

Second Edition

In tropical areas, residual soil layers are often extensive and may continue downwards for hundreds of meters before unweathered rock is reached. Since most foundations, excavations, and embankments are built on such soils, and as residual soils are often used as construction materials, it is vital that the properties and peculiarities of tropical residual soils are well understood. This handbook is a complete reference for engineers working in soil and foundation engineering in tropical areas. Many aspects of tropical residual soils are discussed, including a range of engineering applications. Region- and country-specific sections are included, which examine typical characteristics and soil conditions.

Time-Dependent Behaviour of Concrete Structures Raymond Ian Gilbert University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia

Gianluca Ranzi University of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

Serviceability failures of concrete structures involving excessive cracking or deflection are relatively common, even in structures that comply with code requirements. This is often as a result of a failure to adequately account for the time-dependent deformations of concrete in the design of the structure. Providing detailed information, this book helps engineers to rationally predict the timevarying deformation of concrete structures under typical in-service conditions. It gives analytical methods to help anticipate time-dependent cracking, the gradual change in tension stiffening with time, creep-induced deformations, and the load independent strains caused by shrinkage and temperature changes. The calculation procedures are illustrated with worked examples. Catalog no. Y100910, ISBN: 978-0-415-49384-0 September 2010, 6-3/4 x 9-3/4, 423 pp. Suggested Price: $140.00 / £80.00

Green Energy Sustainable Electricity Supply with Low Environmental Impact Eric Jeffs Buckinghamshire, UK

Because renewable systems are composed of a large number of small units, a considerable amount of energy is required to produce, erect, and maintain them. Hence, the green argument for conservation through renewable systems is somewhat of a contradiction. Written by an international journalist with 40 years of experience reporting on power-generating technologies and global energy policies, this book addresses the question of how to build an electricity supply system that meets the demands of a growing population without accelerating global warming or damaging the environment. The text defines a green energy system as one whose construction, installation, and operation minimally impact the environment. Catalog no.

Extensively revised to reflect the latest developments, the third edition of this text explains how to create a system from scratch, presenting invention/design rules together with clear explanations of how to use them. The author supplies practical guidelines for avoiding common systematic failures while implementing new mandates. He uses a heuristics-based approach that provides an organized attack on very ill-structured engineering problems. Examining architecture as more than a set of diagrams and documents, but as a set of decisions that either drive a system to success or doom it to failure, the book provides methods for integrating business strategy with technical architectural decision making.

Specifically written for graduate and undergraduate courses, this book provides the knowledge and skills necessary to lead enterprise engineering projects. The book describes a systematic methodology to design an enterprise system and presents an enterprise architecture that has three views of process, information, and organization. The text includes methods to analyze and design each view and then demonstrates how to integrate them to arrive at the overall enterprise design. The author also includes enterprise project templates in MS Word and Excel, a business process analyzer in Excel, PowerPoint® slides for each chapter, and solutions for the 200 problems that are presented in the book.

Unlocking the secrets that govern the physics of lubricated and dry contacts, this book helps tribologists on their quest to reduce friction, minimize wear, and extend the operating life of mechanical equipment. It presents a fresh approach to tribology that links advances in applied mathematics with fundamental problems in tribology related to contact elasticity, fracture mechanics, and fluid film lubrication. The book also provides a real-world industrial perspective so that readers can attain a practical understanding of the material. The authors incorporate the classical tenets of tribology while providing new mathematical solutions that address various shortcomings in existing theories.

Hundreds of lubricant additives are available industry-wide to improve base stock properties and protect metal surfaces; however, the wrong combination of these commodities can result in substandard performance. This volume explains how surface activity is affected by several factors: the interfacial properties of lube oil base stocks at oil/surface interfaces, lubricant solvency properties, additive interactions, and variations in temperature. The book provides an understanding of these factors that will influence proper selection of base stocks and additives necessary for resisting foaming and air entrainment, inhibiting rust and corrosion, preventing wear, and controlling emulsification and demulsification.

Tribology of Interface Layers Hooshang Heshmat

Engineering Noise Control Theory and Practice David Bies and Colin Hansen

Mohawk Innovative Technology, Inc., Albany, New York, USA

University of Adelaide, Australia

Many tribological devices act as viable bearings in contrast to basic hydrodynamic theory. Similarly, powder films possess quasi-hydrodynamic features that enable them to act as conventional fluid film bearings. These phenomena have led to a novel definition of lubricants as intermediate layers, which are detailed in this book. It illustrates that the various lubrication modes, from dry to hydrodynamic to powder lubrication, overlap to such a degree that they exist on a tribological spectrum. Based on experimental and theoretical work, this text shows how the interdependence of powder and hydrodynamic lubrication exemplify this continuum in tribological processes.

The practice of engineering noise control demands a solid understanding of the fundamentals of acoustics, the practical application of current noise control technology, and the underlying theoretical concepts. This fully revised and updated fourth edition provides a comprehensive explanation of these key areas clearly, yet without oversimplification. Written by experts in their field, the practical focus echoes advances in the discipline reflected in the fourth edition’s material, including updated coverage of sound transmission loss, mufflers and exhaust stack directivity; a new chapter on practical numerical acoustics; and thorough explanation of the latest instruments for measurements and analysis.

Measurement and Data Analysis for Engineering and Science

Fundamentals of Probability and Statistics for Engineers

Second Edition

Random Phenomena Babatunde A. Ogunnaike

Patrick F. Dunn

University of Delaware, Newark, USA

University of Notre Dame, Indiana, USA

Presenting the fundamental tools of experimentation that are currently used by engineers and scientists, this popular text covers basic concepts related to experiments, measurement system components and responses, methods of data analysis, and effective communication of experimental findings. It also offers historical perspectives throughout. Along with updating and reorganizing the presentation, this second edition offers many more problems, ancillary material for instructors on a CD-ROM, and a supplementary website with differential equation derivations, laboratory exercise descriptions, MATLAB® sidebars with M-files, and much more. A solutions manual is available upon qualifying course adoption.

Many of the problems that engineers face involve randomly varying phenomena of one sort or another. But if characterized properly, even such randomness and the resulting uncertainty are subject to rigorous mathematical analysis. This book provides students with a fundamental understanding of random phenomena and a working knowledge of how to model and analyze such phenomena. It explains how to use probability and statistics appropriately to deal with uncertainty in engineering problems. Basing his approach on the principle of theoretical foundations before application, Dr. Ogunnaike presents a classroom-tested course of study for understanding, characterizing, modeling, and quantifying randomly varying phenomena.

The Risk Management of Safety and Dependability Edited by

W. Wong

References

The issue of risk should be embedded into the mindset of every engineer and manager to improve safety and dependability. Companies can be held accountable through law when a gross failing in health and safety management has fatal consequences. In this volume, risk management, the organizational structure required, and the main factors needed for its successful execution are explored. It covers what risks must be managed as a legal requirement, how risk is quantified, and what methods can be used to reduce risk. It uses case histories of recent disasters to illustrate failures in risk management. Catalog no. N10174, ISBN: 978-1-4398-2992-9 May 2010, 6 x 9, 312 pp. Suggested Price: $205.95 / £130.00
