Landslide Risk Assessment, Third Edition is the essential guide on establishing the likelihood and extent to which future slope failures could adversely impact society and affect urban areas.

Digital Twins in the Built Environment offers a comprehensive, systematic and clear view of digital twin development in the engineering, architecture, construction and facilities management sectors.

Deterioration and Maintenance of Pavements, Second Edition will be required reading for practicing pavement engineers, contractors, local authorities and students of pavement engineering around the world looking to gain a complete understanding of pavement deterioration and maintenance.

Varying degrees of environmental impact by sewage sludge disposals alternatives, present challenges for waste management practice and policy. Many regulating bodies throughout the world are implementing measures which actively promote environmentally sound and economically viable routes to convert this waste into a valuable resource. These provide opportunities, but at the same time, given the nature of the material and obstacles that may exist, require that responsible and proven practices are followed. This book presents the proceedings of an International Symposium organised by the Concrete Technology Unit, University of Dundee, which brings together some of the worlds leading experts in the field of sewage sludge recycling.

This volume offers several original scholarly contributions written by thought leaders in the field of human resources management.

FIDIC Green Book: A companion to the 2021 Short Form of Contract is a practical guide for anyone involved in preparing, administering, or contributing to the 2021 FIDIC Short Form of Contract (FIDIC Green Book).

Special issue on how the COVID pandemic has reshaped the landscape of the construction industry, whilst forcing a resetting of our thinking on how future infrastructure demands will need to be met.

These proceedings of the Piling 2020 conference bring together the knowledge and experience of industry and academia through detailed research and case histories that provide a definitive and up to date perspective on geotechnical aspects of offshore and onshore piling projects.

Essentials of Construction Planning and Scheduling is a practical handbook on the planning of construction projects, from tender through to completion.

This new addition to the Short Course series combines both soil and rock slope engineering - in effect, two short courses - in one concise volume. Like its acclaimed companion volume A Short Course in Foundation Engineering, this book focuses on the essentials, explaining simple methods of stability analysis and applying them to a wide range of practical applications.

Smart Concrete brings together fascinating insights into this new and evolving field of concrete. In defining smart concrete as concrete that is capable of responding automatically to the actions imposed upon it, research has sought to develop concrete that is stronger, more sustainable and resilient.

Crossrail Project: Infrastructure Design and Construction contains a collection of 22 papers submitted to the 2021 Crossrail's Technical Papers Competition. Contributions have come from members of the Crossrail organisation, its consultants as well as contractors involved in design and construction across the Crossrail project.

This Civil Engineering special issue is on underground construction. It explores some of the latest developments and innovations that are transforming underground construction across the world.

The papers in this book will be of interest not only to engineers and others directly involved in the management of reservoirs, but also to designers and suppliers of new techniques and remote monitoring and surveillance equipment.

This guide begins with a broad overview of mill building structures and their development, illustrated with examples of mill construction details. It then moves on to discuss measures that may be needed to ensure compliance with modern Building Regulations. Historical and modern evidence is presented to show that the robustness of these old buildings must be assessed carefully and guidance is given on how robustness may be improved, where necessary.

This volume provides instruction and guidance on the evaluation and decision-making processes involved in the conception and realisation of water and wastewater engineering projects. The author also explains methods for financial analysis of project proposals, environmental impact assessment and the management of water projects.

With urban tunnel construction growing worldwide, the ability to accurately predict the ground and structural response to tunnelling and the associated risks is now more important than ever before. Engineers are expected to consider all aspects of tunnel engineering in order to safeguard existing infrastructure.

Geothermal Energy, Heat Exchange Systems and Energy Piles provides broad international coverage of the latest research in this emerging area. Edited by leading experts it provides an ideal overview for engineers and researchers.
