Presents a framework for applying the latest earthquake engineering research to the non-structural elements of individual building projects, concentrating on mechanical and electrical systems. The seismic performance of these systems and their components is critical in order to minimise damage and life-threatening risks associated with seismic events while also protecting capital investment.

Provides detailed guidance on all aspects of construction quality in the heavy / highway, building, and industrial fields. Topics include quality management, prescriptive versus performance specifications, quality assurance in the design and construction phases, quality control processes, variation and sampling techniques, and more.

Establishes the minimum requirements necessary to achieve an acceptable level of safety and performance for an Automated People Mover (APM) system. An APM is defined as a guided transit mode that is fully automated, featuring vehicles that operate on guideways with exclusive right-of-way.

Provides information on selecting and deploying a monitoring network to assess the behaviour, geometry, total and differential EDS movement, and potential risks of the EDS movement on people and infrastructure.

The early nineteenth century was a time of great change as the US transitioned from the colonial era to the industrial age. Benjamin Wright's engineering career spanned the better part of that time from 1790 to 1840. This book chronicles Wright's life and varied career from country surveyor to his work on America's railroads.

An easy-to-use guide to the basic concepts of land planning, subdivision design, and residential standards. This edition has been updated with five new chapters reflecting the social and economic changes in the last ten years.

Provides a framework for the design of tall buildings for wind. This MOP presents detailed guidance on industry standard practices and design approaches that complement current literature, model codes, and standards.

Guides readers through the application of tsunami design and connects the ASCE 7-16 tsunami provisions to prior design guidelines, laboratory research, and field surveys. The book then explains the key concepts in the provisions and demonstrates their application in numerous examples and a full-length tsunami design of a prototype building.

Describes current pipe ramming practices in design and construction of pipelines under roads, railroads, streets, and other constructed and natural structures and obstacles. Providing both introductory and advanced information, MOP 115 will be valuable to practicing engineers, utility owners, contractors, and related professionals.

Fully revised and updated, Guidelines for Electrical Transmission Line Structural Loading provides the most current and relevant loading concepts and applications specific to transmission line design.

Aims to assist structural engineers when performing the structural analysis and design of ductwork. Air and gas ducts for fossil fuel power stations and industrial boiler applications are unique structures. This publication presents the structural engineer with approaches for the structural analysis and design of air and flue-gas ductwork.

This is the fifteenth volume in a series of publications containing classic papers of the Offshore Technology Conference. The engineering innovations presented in these papers have proven their value through widespread use, permeating codes, standards, guidelines, and engineering software.

Contains seven peer-reviewed papers on engineering design for precipitation extremes. Topics include engineering methods for designing for and managing precipitation extremes and floods, approaches to uncertainty and acceptable risk, and interactions with climate scientists on engineering needs for climate information and projections.

Presents the challenges of cold regions engineering in a changing climate, as well as the current practices and state-of-the-art tools for addressing them. The book is a valuable resource for engineers, scientists, and government agencies involved in cold regions engineering and the mitigation of frost action.

This is the fourteenth volume in a series of publications containing classic papers of the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC). The engineering innovations presented in these papers have proven their value through widespread use, permeating codes, standards, guidelines, and engineering software.
