Bøger i ASCE Manuals and Reports on Engineering Practice serien

Presents engineering criteria and practices for the design, operation, and management of navigation projects. This book also shows how these criteria and practices are integrated with engineering ethics. It contains topics that include an introduction to navigation engineering; engineering ethics; and design philosophy and goals.

Presents the concepts that address the principles of buried steel pipe design, and attempts to correct misusage of the 1958 Modified Iowa Formula. This title contains information on the structural design and analysis of buried steel pipe. It addresses internal pressure design, and vacuum and external fluid pressure analysis.

Presents a general overview of methods used in placing utility cables belowground, including formal underground conduit systems and relatively low-cost direct-buried facilities - with an emphasis on cost-effectiveness and space efficiency. This book is suitable for new and experienced engineers in road and community construction.

Describes successful construction methods and procedures for installing common types of pipes used to transport water-like fluids. This book focuses on the needs of field personnel, constructors, and inspectors. It is suitable for non-technical personnel needing basic information regarding the pipeline installation.

Pipe bursting is a method used for trenchless replacement of existing pipe with new pipe of equal or greater diameter. This work provides different practices for the design and construction of pipelines using pipe bursting methods, with a special focus on building pipelines under roads, railroads, and streets.

Provides technical information on the design of utility pole structures. This manual demonstrates how poles differing in material can be designed to equivalent reliability levels, provides means for quantifying adjusting reliability, and offers design incentives for reliable poles. It is useful for pole manufacturers and transmission engineers.

Provides an overview of the design process and operation of deep-draft navigation projects. This manual is intended as a design guide for practicing engineers and a reference for government agencies involved with the design and operation of deep draft navigation systems.

Surveying important technologies used in the remediation of contaminated aquifers, this book provides a detailed analysis of each approach. It covers techniques such as simple screening model and field application, pump-and-treat, bioremediation, steam flooding, and air sparging. It also discusses the benefits and limitations of each approach.

New fire building codes have been adopted in North America and this method simplifies the performance-based design approach. This title presents a fresh method developed to improve the design of structural steel for fire conditions. It is suitable for those involved in structural engineering, fire safety and construction engineering.

Guyed structures are commonly used to support electric transmission lines. This publication describes the various types of guyed structures that have been used. It also presents typical guys and fittings, illustrates guy anchors and foundations, and explores analysis and design techniques specific to guyed structures, among the other things.
