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.

Books in the ICE Themes series showcase cutting edge research and practical guidance in civil engineering for researchers and students.

Books in the ICE Themes series showcase cutting edge research and practical guidance in civil engineering for researchers and students. The Themes in this set include the very best research in concrete technology.

This book, which has been compiled from the research published by ICE, is an ideal source of information for those seeking to gain an overview of the latest from the work that has been undertaken on low carbon concrete.

Bio- and Chemo- Mechanical Processes in Geotechnical Engineering provides researchers and practitioners with a comprehensive introduction to the recent advances in the area and invaluable insight into the developments within this emerging field.

This title gives decision-makers a logical overall philosophy of risk that will enable them to make sound and consistently defensible decisions about the acceptability of risk. The authors develop a hypothesis about the aspects of risk that are universally acceptable.

Maintaining the Safety of our Dams and Reservoirs covers a wide range of topics which are of direct relevance to all who work with dams and reservoirs, whether in the UK or abroad, be they owners, maintainers, designers or constructors. The changes to the UK's legislative frameworks for dam safety are covered, as are examples of the many environmental factors to be taken into account, not just for the construction of new dams but also for alterations and repairs. Several papers provide examples of the planning or construction of new dams, while many deal with upgrades and repairs to existing dams, some as the results of unforeseen incidents.

This volume is an indispensable source of information on current research and practice in the field of integrated management of groundwater and contaminated land.

Bridge design and construction are thoroughly explored, together with special launch bearings and systems, nose-deck interaction, the loading of temporary and final piers, field monitoring, and data acquisition techniques. Process simulation techniques for optimisation of deck casting are also covered.

Floods and erosion continue to be the significant causes of bridge damage and failures worldwide. They are also a key consideration in bridge design construction and maintenance. Growing concern over the security of bridges against the action of water has led to extensive re-evaluation of existing foundations. This new edition of the Guide to Bridge Hydraulics has been extensively revised and expanded to provide the latest developments.

This special issue of Civil Engineering includes nine papers exploring aspects of research and practice.

This special issue of Civil Engineering on humanitarian engineering shares and celebrates some of the tremendous projects that civil engineers are carrying out in the humanitarian field. These eight papers aim to open discussions about best practice and lessons learnt for the future.

Sustainable communities are communities which succeed now economically, socially and environmentally, and respect the needs of future generations. They are also well-designed places where people feel safe and secure; where crime and disorder, or the fear of crime, doesn't undermine quality of life or community cohesion. This is why the new Planning Policy Statement (PPS) 1, the overarching PPS setting out the Government's planning objectives, will highlight the need to plan for sustainable communities.

This book is the outcome of EPARC supported three year research project involving seven major high-street retailing clients: Arcadia Group, Boots, Borders(UK), Halifax plc, Nationwide, Rubicon Retail Ltd, Pizza Express: and their supply chains.

This book examines the processes available for the various stages of treatment of wastewater, beginning with the preliminary processes of screening, grit removal and storm water separation and ending with tertiary treatment and sludge disposal.

The book will make essential reading for all levels of structural, civil, mechanical and aerospace engineers. The book will be an invaluable aid for all students of structural and civil engineering, from the later years of an undergraduate course through to postgraduate work and the early stages of graduate training within the field.

Designers Guide to Eurocode 8: Design of bridges for earthquake resistance covers Part 2 Bridges of EN 1998 Design of structures for earthquake resistance which is the standard for use in the seismic design of bridges in which horizontal seismic actions are mainly resisted through bending of the piers or at the abutments, and the seismic design of cablestayed and arched bridges.

The papers in this special issue of Civil Engineering cover the early âEUR¿planning and peopleâEUR(TM) stages of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games project, from organisation and planning, through environmental and sustainability management, to procurement, employment, safety and transport.

Current practice on most contracts dictates that the engineer deals with engineering matters and the quantity surveyor covers the commercial aspects. As a result, engineers have become increasingly uneasy at setting rates, evaluating claims and of pricing work generally. This book provides engineers with commercial adeptness in price estimating.
