Transport Properties of Concrete: Measurement and Applications

The transport properties of concrete measure the ability of fl uids to move through it. The equations for them were fi rst documented by the end of the nineteeth century (Fick 1855 ; Darcy, 1856 ) and applied to concrete by the middle of the twentieth century (Powers et al ., 1954 ). However, they remain diffi cult to measure, particularly if the common in situ tests are used. Interest in …

Service life estimation and extension of civil engineering structures

The infrastructure of constructed facilities for the transportation and housing of people, goods, and services, which grew exponentially over the latter half of the last century is rapidly approaching a critical period, with increasing signs of deterioration and reduced functionality. Defi ciencies in the existing bridge inventory, for example, range from those related to wear, environment…

Settlement Calculation on High-Rise Buildings: Theory and Application

Settlement calculation is one of the three major issues in foundation engineering and it has not yet been resolved completely. Especially settlement calculation of super high-rise buildings still remains the most difficult problem for engineers. Due to lack of practical settlement data, there is few systematic research result and rarer monograph to investigate this special problem. This bo…

Strong Motion Instrumentation for Civil Engineering Structures

The provision of earthquake resistant structures and facilities is one ofthe main concerns of Civil and Earthquake Engineering Profession. As such, the main objective of seismic instrumentation program for civil engineering structural systems is to improve our understanding of the behavior and potential for damage of structures under the dynamic loads of earthquakes. As a result of this und…

Structural dynamics of earthquake engineering: Theory and application using M…

In the present decade, the world has witnessed many great earthquakes like Bhujj in India in 2001, Iran in 2003, the Asian Tsunami in Indonesia in 2004 and Pakistan in 2005 resulting in the death of thousands of people and significant property damage. Housing and safety are basic human needs. Structures adequately designed for usual loads need not necessarily be safe for earthquake forces.…

We began to formulate the initial ideas for this Manual as early as 2006. It had become apparent to us that civil and structural engineers not specialising in geotechnics face a daunting knowledge gap when they come up against a geotechnical problem. Most civil engineers leave university with very little grounding in geotechnical engineering. They will have a fair grasp of applied mechanics …

Handbook of seismic risk analysis and management of civil infrastructure systems

What makes earthquake risks so catastrophic and dreadful? Possible reasons are attributed to the sudden, unpredictable, involuntary, and large-scale nature of the risks. As a consequence of a devastating earthquake, a tremendous surge of seismic damage and loss may overwhelm the risk-bearing capacities of households, companies, municipalities, and insurers, and may eventually cause serious…

Fuzzy Randomness: Uncertainty in Civil Engineering and Computational Mechanics

Nature has never attended a course in probability theory. This poignant philosophical statement underlines the fact that the phenomenon of uncertainty cannot be described by means of probability theory alone. Data and models encountered in the natural sciences and engineering are more or less characterized by uncertainty. With the inclusion of interval variables and random variables classical m…

Eco-efficient Materials for Mitigating Building Cooling Needs: Design, Proper…

It is becoming increasingly evident that human activities are the major cause of climate change and global warming. Human activities have caused major changes in our land, water, and atmosphere leading to permanent modifications to our environment such as removing major areas of forest land on Earth and increasing atmospheric greenhouse gases. As the threat of climate change becomes more p…

Earthquakes and Health Monitoring of Civil Structures

Damages due to catastrophic earthquakes are huge. Over a million and half people have been killed during the most catastrophic ten earthquakes that have occurred since 1900. Still, the number of victims and material damage due to earthquakes has permanently been growing although, according to statistics, the number of catastrophic earthquakes per annum is constant. For example, the Haiti ea…

Civil engineering reference manual for the pe exam

As I mentioned in the preface to the thirteenth edition, I am chagrined to admit that I never read a single preface while I was in college. Out of the prefaces of 100 or so textbooks written by witty, clever, dedicated, and famous experts, I never read a single word. Since then, I’ve added hundreds of additional books to my library, and I’ve only read a few of their prefaces. I certainly ha…

Civil Engineering for Underground Rail Transport

Thirty-five years ago Bill Cassie (Professor William Fisher Cassie) used to tell his students in Newcastle that one of the tasks of civil engineers was to put services under the ground, including transport. The surface was for people on foot and, in future, the movement of vehicles would be underneath towns, as with the movement of water and sewage. He was ahead of his time; he had writt…

Chemical Grouting and Soil Stabilization

Over a decade has passed since publication of the second edition. During this time the major changes have been the movement of chemical grouting from remedial use to preventive use, and the development and growing use of other methods of ground improvement.

Analyzing Uncertainty in Civil Engineering

This volume addresses the issue of uncertainty in civil engineering from design to construction. Failures do occur in practice. Attributing them to a residual risk or a faulty execution of the project does not properly cover the range of causes. A closer scrutiny of the design, the engineering model, the data, the soil-structure-interaction and the model assumptions is required. Usually, th…

Advanced Composites in Bridge Construction and Repair

Advanced composites such as fi ber-reinforced polymer (FRP) are promising materials for civil infrastructure application. Despite their relatively short history in research and implementation, signifi cant advances have been made over the last two decades. Federal and municipal agencies now accept these non-conventional construction materials. Practitioners are eager to use them for their proje…

Advanced civil infrastructure materials

Concrete and steel are by far the most widely used man-made construction materials in the world. Despite numerous successful constructions of worldwide infrastructures, many of these infrastructures are now rapidly deteriorating. It has been estimated that infrastructure rehabilitation costs, in the US alone, will reach into trillions of dollars over the next twenty years. One of the prima…

Subsea engineering is now a big discipline for the design, analysis, construction, installation and integrity management of subsea wellheads, trees, manifolds, jumpers, PLETS and PLEMs, etc. However, there is no book available that helps engineers understand the principles of subsea engineering. This book is written for those who wish to become subsea engineers.

Stablllty of structures: elastic, lnelastic, fracture and damage theories

It is our hope that this book will serve both as a textbook for graduate courses on stability of structures and a reference volume for engineers and scientists. We assume the student has a background in mathematics and mechanics only at the level of the B.S. degree in civil or mechanical engineering, though in the last four chapters we assume a more advanced background. We cover subjects releva…

The meeting has decided to revise the Indonesia hazard map by referring to IBC-2006 wh…

Creep Behaviour of Fly Ash-Based Geopolymer Concrete

Abstract: F1y ash-based geopolymer concrete is manufactured using fly ash as its source material and does not use Portland cement at all. Beside fly ash, alkaline solution is also utilized to make geopolymer paste which binds the aggregates to form geopolymer concrete. This paper presents the study of creep behaviour of fly ash-based geopolymer concrete. Four series of specimens with various co…

CPT -based Interpretation of Pile Load Tests in Clay-Silt Soil

Abstract: Two pile axial load tests were pe1formed in a site in Depok, West Java. The soil of the site is predominantly a silt-clay soil, characterized by seven mechanical cone penetration tests (CPTs). The piles were 5.5 m long and 11.5 m long, 250 mm square piles. The results of the static load tests showed that the ultimate capacities were achieved. The axial load tests were subsequently bac…
