Basic Structures, 2nd Edition—Garrison Philip

Structural engineering is a key part of the design of the entire built environment. How a structure, for example a building or bridge, behaves when subjected to various forces – the weight of the materials that were used to build it, the weight of the occupants in it or the traffic it carries, the force of the wind etc – is fundamental to its success. Students of construction, architecture and civil engineering have to be confident

in their understanding of structures, but many find the basic concepts difficult to understand and apply. Basic Structures provides the student with a clear explanation of structural concepts, using many analogies…

Behaviour and Design of Steel Structures to EC3, 4th Edition—Trahair Ns Et.Al

Handbook of Tropical Residual Soil Engineering—Huat B.B.K. Et. Al.

Residual soils are found in many parts of the world. Like other soils, they are used extensively in construction, either to build upon, or as construction material. They are formed when the rate of rock weathering is more rapid than transportation of the weathered particles by e.g., water, gravity and wind, which results in a large share of the soils formed remaining in place. The soils typically retain many of the characteristics of the parent rock. In a tropical region, residual soil layers can be very thick, sometimes extending to hundreds of meters before reaching un-weathered rock. Unlike the more familiar transported sediment soil, …

Irrigation and Drainage Management—Levent Yilmaz

The hydraulics of flow in the irrigation and drainage channels is indeed complex for many reasons in natural conditions. Such channels are required to carry a certain specified discharge of water which is charged with sediment load of suspended and bed material. The boundaries of the channel are thus in a

state of constant flux. Bed and banks, although initially flat surfaces, may soon be covered with ripples and dunes. These are in effect large elements of surface roughness having a strong influence on the overall channel friction. Stability of these channels is defined as a state of equilibrium such that the particles…
