This guide presents the examples of good client practice and practice initiatives in the UK construction industry.

The use of risk assessment in dam safety management as advocated by the International Commission On Large Dams (ICOLD) will be greatly enhanced by Risk and Uncertainty in Dam Safety, an authoritative, comprehensive and valuable contribution to dam safety practices.

The papers in this special issue report on the forensic investigation of everything from collapse to cracks in a diverse range of structures from around the world, with causes including blast, fire, storm, flood, erosion and corrosion.

Highly illustrated, this history of the various headquarters of the Institution of Civil Engineers traces the journey from the first meetings of a group of young engineers in Kendal's Coffee House, Fleet Street to the grandeur of the present headquarters at Great George Street.

This book is a comprehensive study which provides practical advice and guidance on the important role played by ground engineering in the construction of railway track, the use of which will result in optimum quality with the minimum maintenance effort and the most economical use of resources.

This third and final special issue of Civil Engineering on the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games covers the infrastructure legacy of the games, the delivery of which was fundamental to the success of the UK bid.

This book presents a unified approach for the available mathematical models of concrete, linking them to finite element analysis and to computer programs in which special provisions are made for concrete plasticity, cracking and crushing with and without concrete aggregate interlocking.

The data discussed in this report represents the opinions of informed and expert respondents, from all parts of the PFI industry, including both private and pubilc sectors.

This work deals with the civil engineering heritage of London and the Thames Valley. The development of London has attracted the design and construction skills of a range of eminent civil engineers and contractors.

This special issue of Civil Engineering, containing nine papers, explores the resilience for a number of different types of infrastructures, geographical locations and perspectives - all with a view to helping improve serviceability levels and expectations, with occurrences of lowered-performance experiences reduced still further.

This special issue of the journal Civil Engineering covers major and innovative projects in China. Innovative design and delivery of structures and infrastructure is much in evidence, along with widespread application of advanced technology across all built-environment disciplines.

This special issue of the Civil Engineering journal is on the hugely challenging project to electrify the Great Western railway between London and south Wales in the UK.

This special issue of the highly respected Civil Engineering journal from the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers looks to study and learn from the catastrophes, collapses and failures that fascinate and horrify the civil engineering community.

A unique opportunity to purchase a re-print of the first issue of the world renowned Geotechnique journal.

Examining a range of case studies involving different types of systems and the types of surge suppression equipment which may be suited to each, this practical book provides an indepth analysis of actual systems, with emphasis on the type of hydraulic transient behaviour to be expected in each kind of configuration.

The Short Course series concentrates on how to get the fundamentals of a given subject right, and then how to use them in practical applications. It provides civil engineers, engineering geologists and students with the means to check that ground properties (inputs) and design predictions (outputs) collectively make sense. These essential handbooks concentrate facts and figures in quick-reference charts and tables wherever possible and illustrate analytical methods with many worked examples.

Effective Site Investigation provides an introductory guide to accepted best practice for site investigations, both for construction professionals such as civil and structural engineers, builders and architects, and for their clients. It has been prepared by the Site Investigation Steering Group, a multidisciplinary body representing those professional institutions, learned societies, trade organisations and government agencies involved or affected by site investigations. The second edition represents a major revision and extension of the series with the aim of bringing together the whole site investigation industry and is intended for general application to all ground investigation work.

This book is the first of two self-supporting volumes that make up the 8th edition of Tables for the Hydraulic Design of Pipes, Sewers and Channels. It presents Tables A to provide a comprehensive range of solutions of the Colebrook-White equation, covering standard diameters from 20 mm to 4000 mm plus 4500 mm. These tables are in the format established in previous editions, with sequences of tables for incrementally varying roughness sizes. A new setting adopts 50 gradient increments per order of magnitude change, upgrading from the 35 increment system of previous editions.

The ability to predict the movement of cohesive sediment within coastal, estuarine or inland waters has a significant economic and ecological importance in the development of new engineering works and the maintenance of existing installations. Dynamics of estuarine muds clearly describes the most up-to-date developments in this field and contains information about improved procedures and how they can be applied to a variety of engineering projects.

The diary that Mackenzie kept during the height of his career has been transcripted, documenting his daily life and detailing his business travels. It presents a record of his life and work affording insights for economic, social and engineering historians.

Presents biographical details of nearly 800 engineers of the Victorian era (1830-1890) - golden age of engineering. This book outlines the lives of these engineers and lists the works for which they were responsible, and provides indexes of names and places. It is suitable for architects with an interest in engineering history.
