A guide to 4 documents, EN1991 Part 1.2, EN1992 Part 1.2, EN1993 Part 1.2 and EN1994 Part 1.2. It provides an introduction to the procedures required to achieve design solutions for a typical range of structural elements and assemblies. Worked examples are included to illustrate the use of the Eurocodes for specific design scenarios.

The quality of floor surfaces in industrial and commercial premises can be vitally important to effective business operations. Increasingly rigorous specifications for industrial floors have resulted in considerable changes in the methods used for their construction.

The search for cleaner waters and the need to avoid polluting coastlines, combined with a general desire for expansion, have meant that farmers are constructing farms in ever more aggressive wave environments. This work draws on the international experience of engineers and aquaculturalists in an attempt set up a design philosophy.

A showcase of research and case studies on what civil engineers can do to address climate-change risks, the challenges of assessing whole-life climate impacts and risks, and a look at new design approaches that enable projects to be both more sustainable and more resilient.

ICE Pocket Guide to Steels in the Built Environment is the quick reference guide to using steels in construction projects and structural design.

Wind Turbine Foundations presents the latest international research and case studies on offshore wind farm foundations. Edited by two leading experts it is an ideal resource for engineers and researchers seeking an overview of this area.

The Institution of Civil Engineers has organised a series of conferences to celebrate, at the start of the New Millennium, the enormous achievements made in the field of bridge engineering in recent years. This volume of papers from the second of these conferences, held in Hong Kong, encompasses the state-of-the-art in bridge design, construction, maintenance and safety assessment. It includes papers on major bridge schemes, both completed and under construction, and on innovative approaches used in various parts of the world.

This special issue of Civil Engineering is about programme managing the GBP14.8 billion Crossrail project to deliver the new east-west Elizabeth line railway across London.

All civil engineers and construction professionals concerned with the construction process have both professional and legal duties to take care, not only of their own health and safety at work, but the health and safety of others who might be put at risk.Health and Safety in Construction offers clear guidance on the responsibilities of construction professionals for health and safety in construction. Construction professionals need to work together to ensure consistently high standards and this essential guide will help achieve a measured and effective response to this challenge.

Taking a systems approach, this is an essential guide for planning practitioners, providing tools and approaches needed for complex, changing and uncertain environments.

This November 2019 special issue of Civil Engineering covers offsite and smart construction.

This book explains the process of ground formation - what it is made of and how it behaves as an engineering material. This enables the civil engineer to work from a few first principles to determine if the ground is an asset or a hazard.

This work has been written to provide an understanding of the nature and the theoretical basis of the most widely used numerical methods - the finite element method (FEM) and the boundary element method (BEM) - while also outlining promising directions for their future development.

This special issue of Civil Engineering is dedicated to innovative civil engineering projects in India. It highlights how the worldâEUR(TM)s sixth largest economy is investing heavily in national and local infrastructure to meet its ever-growing social and economic needs while also considering the wider issues of sustainability.

Diving into the commercial and environmental effects of the new laws and practices, this book also references relevant websites to aid the reader in discovering further details and hopefully solutions to environmental difficulties.

Hugh Ferguson and Mike Chrimes' fascinating series is now available as a three-volume set. The Civil Engineers, The Contractors and The Consulting Engineers follows the story of the engineering profession, the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) and the people and companies who made the industry what it is today.

A guide to the procurement of privately financed projects: an indicative assessment of the procurement process outlines the concept of privately financed projects (PFP) that can be used for both public-private and private-private interactions.

Flood Resilience collates innovative ideas, methodologies and practical approaches which address engineering challenges during various stages of flooding, from assessment of vulnerability, implementation of protective measures, through to management of extreme events in order to promote faster recovery after a flood.

This major reference work details the story of London Underground's award winning Jubilee Line Extension (JLE), how it came to being, how it was planned, how it was designed, built and commissioned, and how the millennium deadline imposed by the Dome was met. Always in the public eye and the political spotlight, the JLE has played a significant role in the success of the Canary Wharf development, improved public transport immeasurably in the areas of southeast and east London, and set new standards for London Underground and public transport.

These conference proceedings include 41 papers from the Seventh International Conference on Coastlines, Structures and Breakwaters organised by the Institution of Civil Engineers.

Fibre reinforced polymer composites have been used for many years in the aircraft and shipbuilding industries. They are now being used in a variety of construction applications where their light weight, high strength, stiffness, durability, and ease of installation makes them cost-effective. This is particularly the case in the repair and rehabilitation of existing infrastructure. This book provides design guidance in the use of fibre reinforced polymer composites, based on the results of two major programmes funded by the DETR.

The most important resource for any company in the construction industry today is its workforce. To develop employees' talents to their maximum potential, as quickly as possible requires quality mentoring, and mentors need to be carefully chosen and better trained to undertake this vital role.

This book investigates best practice across sectors of the economy and their transfers into the context of construction. It examines the development and diffusion of innovation to address adversarial relationships, and the fragmented processes and lack of customer focus, which still characterises much of the industry.It explains how construction must respond to the raft of new management processes expounded throughout the last decade systematically in a bid to acheive a more appropriate approach for business innovation in construction.

The cable stayed bridge is an elegant, economical and efficient structure. Virtually unknown 40 years ago, these bridges have become increasingly important as their properties have been more fully understood. They have recently proved to be highly cost-effective for short to medium spans. The second edition of this extremely popular book has been updated and enhanced to cover the rapid technological progress in this field. Exceptionally well illustrated, the book examines all aspects of the design of cable stayed bridges.

Changes in vehicle weight limits and revisions to safety standards inevitably increase the demands placed on bridges. Following from the very successful Bridge Modification conference in 1994, this volume contains papers describing the issues, thinking and technology behind the assessment and improvement of existing bridges.

This book provides guidance on appraisal and repair of reinforced concrete building structures. It addresses the problems related to reinforced concrete, corrosion of reinforcement, cracking, cathodic protection and protective coatings, and it highlights the advantages and/or problems of each.

This report has been written with the specific aim of opening up the subject presented by the Secretary of State to consider the interaction between engineering, the environment, economics and politics.

Masonry walls are not isotropic, they have less strength in bending in the vertical direction than in the horizontal.The design of 2-way spanning masonry panels under lateral loads is complicated, the design tables in this book present a practical approach to the design of rectangular lateral loaded panels under uniformly distributed loads.
