Contains the papers from an international conference on vegetation and slopes and clarifies the concepts and benefits of the use of vegetation on slopes. This book highlights practices which are of relevance to slope design and management.

Addresses the problems associated with the changing groundwater levels - frequent deterioration of water quality, reduced water abstraction, flooding or uplift of basements. This work provides a coverage of background information, data interpretation, details of the rising and falling groundwater levels, and possible engineering solutions.

This work brings together the experience of specialists in the behaviour of concrete and metal structures, both above and below the ground, to actions of blast, penetration and high speed collisions. From the second international conference, 'Structures under shock and impact', this volume aims to help stimulate future research analysis.

A 'how to do it' that provides the challenge of theory application through a series of exercises, this book aims to equip the reader with specialist skills that can be immediately applied in practice.

Provides a comprehensive explanation and illustration of earth reinforcement and soil structures, from the viewpoint of practising engineers involved in design and construction.

This is a useful guide to all facets of asphalt technology as applied to the construction and maintenance of highways and reflects the very best of UK asphalt and pavement technology. It covers all aspects of fully flexible road construction from foundation design through to surface treatment. The book also covers new materials.

Provides information on the types of revetment available, and guidance on the choice and design of these systems. This manual includes information on revetments that incorporate some form of structural protection, and those which combine this protection with vegetation to increase the environmental quality of the systems. It is aimed at engineers.

This book draws together a large quantity of research that has been carried out on pulverised fuel ash (PFA) over the past 30 years.In addition to covering the potential uses of PFA it provides an overview of the benefits of use.

Discusses the functions of revetments and the different aspects of structural performance. This book aims to enable the engineer to choose the most stable, appropriate and cost-effective revetment system, for a given situation. It guides through the design process, and helps in the identification of hydraulic loading conditions.

Concrete is a global material that underwrites commercial wellbeing and social development. The pressure for change and improvement of performance is relentless and necessary. Concrete must keep evolving to satisfy the increasing demands of all its users.

Construction time constraints are partly responsible for the increasingly prevalent use of structural steel. This manual looks at the various aspects of steel construction. It covers the full scope of structural steelwork detailing, including fundamentals, draughting practice and conventions, and conventional methods of detailing components.

This volume presents part of the proceedings of two symposia held under the umbrella of Advances in Waste Management, an international meeting organised by the University of Dundees Concrete Technology Unit.

All buildings in the UK must conform to the published wind code BS 6399-2. The strengths and weaknesses of the code are examined, and questions commonly asked are addressed in this guide. It explains the objectives, the main changes in the code and their impact on design loads.

These proceedings cover a range of issues of direct relevance to geotechnical engineers and associated disciplines working on landfill design, highlight new areas of research and practice, and provide a focus for future research and development.

Discusses the advantages and pitfalls of the increasing use of global positioning systems instruments in providing control for projects, and how this revolutionises the way in which setting out is performed in the future. This work is suitable for engineers and surveyors involved in the planning, design, and execution of a construction project.

Dynamics of Marine Sands, backed up with worked examples and case studies, presents methods for calculating the various hydrodynamic and sediment dynamic quantities necessary for marine sediment transport applications, and recommends the most appropriate methods to use for engineering projects.

A presentation of the various aspects of site management which engineers need to understand. It looks at good site practice and management techniques, programmes, tenders, construction methods, all types of resource procurement, health and safety, planning systems and people skills.
