For major civil engineering projects in any location to prove successful, they should be governed by the terms and conditions agreed by the Employer and the Contractor. This digest provides an explanation of the fourth edition of the FIDIC Conditions and of the impact of the changes and innovations on the third edition.

This book assembles the practical rules and details for the efficient and economical execution of deep excavations. It draws together a wealth of experience of both design and construction from published work and the lifetime practice of the author.

This volume presents the proceedings of the first major international conference for over twenty years on the state-of-the-art of ground anchorage technology. Practical issues relating to construction and installation of anchorages are considered in a series of examples of engineering projects from around the world.

Ground Bearing Concrete Slabs has been specifically written to break down the `walls' that have arisen between these three areas and focus on the issues that are common to them all.

This guide explains how European Community (EC) requirements for environmental impact assessment have been incorporated into procedures in the UK. It revises the booklet "Environmental Assessment: A Guide to the Procedures", to take account of the requirements of the Directive 97/11/EC.

Presenting a survey of embankment dams, this book provides information from many countries on research, environmental considerations, risks, hazards, and safety. It is useful for engineers involved in the planning, design, construction, or operation of water-retaining embankments, and tailing dams.

A practical guide to various techniques you can use to improve your communication skills, both in person and in writing. This edition covers technologies, and the important matter of dealing with enquiries and the media. It is suitable for engineers of various levels.

As well as describing the nature of the marine environment and the effects of man-made structures on the behaviour of the sea, this books deals with hydraulic design, the material properties of concrete and the design and specification of structures for coastal environments.

Contains the proceedings of the 15th Conference of the British Dam Society, Ensuring reservoir safety into the future, covering a variety of issues relating to reservoir safety, particularly in the UK. This book presents information on the effect that the significant storm events in the summer of 2007 could have on UK reservoir safety.

Examines the flow of information, relating not only to projects, but also to the more general information, that circulates in a contract. A model is presented, complete with definitions, that would help senior managers to analyze where there are deficiencies in existing management systems and provide the necessary basis for computerisation.

The second edition of this book provides structural engineers with a concise introduction to the architectural, structural and technological aspects of cable roofs, and supplies sufficient information for engineers to carry out their own designs. The improved methods for generating wind and earthquake histories have been included.

Integral Bridges was commissioned by the Highways Agency to produce guidance for bridge designers by addressing the thermally induced soil/structure interaction problem created by environmental changes of temperature and the associated cyclical displacements imposed on the granular backfill to the bridge abutments.

This book is the result of a comprehensive revision to the original model code of 1978, which was produced jointly by the Comite Euro-International du Beton (CEB) and the Federation International de la Precontrainte (FIP).

This title is a guide, designed for engineering managers, to the theory and practice of how good decisions are made and why poor decisions occur. It is the result of many years of teaching and consultancy in organizational and social decision making and provides some of the most important concepts in managerial decision theory.

Reflects the changes in various principal civil engineering contracts including the ICE 6th, the New Engineering Contract, the Arbitration and Conciliation Acts and the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1998. This title also includes commentary on the ICE 7th and international contracts.

The papers included in this volume, written by international authors, deal with a cross-section of problems faced by many practising engineers and provide advice and guidance on how these problems can be dealt with in a practical manner.

Civil engineering has an important part to play at every stage of the nuclear fuel cycle. This book examines ways in which the industry has responded to this challenge with new methods of construction giving higher productivity and faster construction times.

This design guide is based on a safety concept using partial safety factors taken from the CEB/FIB Model Code 1990, and it covers all loading situations and failure models. It is valid for expansion, undercut and headed anchors, and is applicable to both new structures and the repair and strengthening of existing structures.

Brings together details on slope stability, causes of landslides, landslide prevention, several techniques for assessing and predicting stability, various methods for stabilising slopes, and the special considerations for coastal situations.

A company's ability to quickly adapt to the changing demands and requirements of its customers has become an essential requirement for it's long-term survival.

This text brings together current knowledge on all aspects of bridge behaviour, covering developments in construction, design, analysis, repair and maintenance. Case histories are used to illustrate the methods used.

This title provides an opportunity for engineers to catch up with trends in geotechnical grouting and provides an in-depth discussion of the advances, views and knowledge from around the world. Topics range from compensation grouting, jet grouting, soil mixing and permeation grouting to ten monitoring and more.

This work is about the personal skills which engineers use in negotiations. Demonstrating how to respond to negotiators with other styles and from other cultures, it also covers the different negotiating skills needed during all three phases of a contract: to secure it, during its lifetime, and to settle outstanding matters afterwards.

Topics discussed in these papers include developments in materials and methods for repair of existing structures and use in new construction. The themes of the seminar are Materials Development and Practical Applications.

This work explains the principles and theories of project management and how and when the different project management techniques can be applied. Based on the author's own experience and knowledge, this text has been endorsed by the Association for Project Management.

A practical guide for helping engineers to prepare and write successful proposals, this book describes problems and best approaches, focusing on technical and financial proposals, technical staff CV's and project references outlines the preparation of a proposal, the best route map for getting there, and possible short cuts.

This guide provides practical advice and guidance on the repair and maintenance of masonry structures. It covers all of the various forms of masonry, including stone, brick and blockwork.

With over 80 illustrations, Engineering a Cathedral is not only relevant to Durham, it is relevant to all other medieval buildings, those who care for them and those who simply stand and wonder.
