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.

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.

The book is an ideal source of information on the subject and would be a suitable addition to any library as a resource for researchers seeking to develop an overview of the research on this topic.

Facilitating the creation of streets that promote greater social interaction and enjoyment while still performing successfully as conduits for movement, his guide helps you in the creation of streets that help to build and strengthen the communities they serve, meet the needs of all users, and form part of a well-connected network.

Self-Compacting Concrete (ICE Themes) provides information on the key research undertaken in developing this most logical and practical advancement in the field of concrete technology

Thomas Telford is arguably the most influential civil engineer who ever lived. First president of the Institution of Civil Engineers, he has left an enduring legacy. From the 1790's for four decades, Telford's achievements were second to none in the application of engineering solutions, improved constructional materials and the use of technology. His projects, involving movement of people, goods or water extended to Poland, Sweden, Panama, Canada and India. This celebration of Telford's work marks the 250th anniversary of his birth.

Offering detailed guidance on sustainable flood and coastal risk management in the UK during the 21st century, this book presents a comprehensive insight into the flooding system, spanning multiple disciplines across different sectors of the flood and flood management professions.

An account of much of the surviving work of civil engineers in Scotland from pre-history up until 1980. This book contains 500 illustrations, comprising photographs and some historic views. It include James Watt's drawing for his Rutherglen Bridge, a view of the Forth Bridge nearing completion, and Sir John Fowler's Braemore Estate Bridge.

This book is the second of two self-supporting volumes that make up the 8th edition of Tables for the Hydraulic Design of Pipes, Sewers and Channels. It provides an alternative solution system for the Colebrook-White equation.

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.
