Rock Mass Classification: A Practical Approach in Civil Engineering

Managing Project Risk and Uncertainty A Constructively Simple Approach to Decision Making


This title confidently puts forward a practical, new approach to decision making in an uncertain business world.

Many variables are accounted for and the authors are innovative in integrating previous types of decision-making approaches with a more fluid, and therefore realistic model that can be applied across a wide range of contexts and decisions.

A new title on a important topic that not only stands well on its own, but also complements Chapman and Ward's previous title Project Risk Management. This book is practical and rigorous yet written in an engaging way


It is perfect for courses, or to be used by practitioners.

Self Healing Materials: An Alternative Approach to 20 Centuries of Materials Science
Author: Editors: R.Hull R.M. Osgood, Jr. J. Parisi H.Warlimont | Size: 52.46 MB | Format: PDF | Publisher: Springer | Year: 2007 | pages: 390 | ISBN: 9781402062506



This book, the first in this new field of materials science, aims to present a coherent picture of the design principles and resulting properties of self healing materials over all material classes, and to offset them to the current design principles for structural materials with improved mechanical properties. Where appropriate a comparison to natural materials is made. As such it will be a landmark and a reference work in the coming years.
The book consists of a number of invited contributions from leading experts in the field. While each chapter describes a separate approach or a different aspect of self healing materials, the...

Open Design refers to a stakeholder-oriented approach in Architecture, Urban Planning, and Project Management, as developed by the Chair of Computer Aided Design and Planning of Delft University of Technology. This edition collects the following three volumes on Open Design: 1) Open Design, a Collaborative Approach to Architecture, offering concepts and methods to combine technical and social optimization into one integrated design process; 2) Open Design and Construct Management, Managing Complex Construction Projects through Synthesis of Stakeholder Interests, offering a new...

Structural Analysis , A Unified Classical and Matrix Approach 6th ED

This comprehensive textbook, now in its sixth edition, combines classical and matrix-based
methods of structural analysis and develops them concurrently. New solved examples and problems have been added, giving over 140 worked examples and more than 400 problems with answers.

Its introductory chapter on structural analysis modelling gives a good grounding to the beginner, showing how structures can be modelled as beams, plane or space frames and trusses, plane grids or assemblages of finite element. Idealization of loads, anticipated deformations, deflected shapes and bending moment diagrams are presented. Readers are also shown how to idealize real three-dimensional structures into simplified models that can be analyzed with little or no calculation, or by more involved calculations using computers. Dynamic analysis, essential for structures subject to seismic...
