Provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of dredging. Robert Randall imparts his extensive knowledge of the subject using descriptions, examples, definitions, and problems. Topics include Dredging history; Basic fluid mechanics for dredging; Dredging equipment; Dredge pumps, modeling, and cavitation; and more.

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.

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.

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.

Provides general guidelines for the computation of wind loads at petrochemical and other industrial facilities. The report represents the state-of-the-practice for wind load design at industrial facilities and is intended for engineers familiar with design of industrial-type structures.

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.

Provides stringent design criteria for multiple aspects associated with nuclear facilities. The goal of this standard is to ensure that nuclear facilities can withstand the effects of earthquake ground-shaking while retaining target performance goals.

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.

Produced by a Task Committee created by ASCE, this report provides guidance to structural engineers in the design of civil structures to resist the effects of terrorist bombings. It includes unrestricted government information, which is assembled collectively and rephrased for application to civilian facilities.

"This document uses both the International System of Units (SI) and customary units."

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.

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.
