This latest edition will significantly update how engineers and planners assess the traffic and environmental effects of highway projects: It is the first HCM to provide an integrated multimodal approach to the analysis and evaluation of urban streets from the points of view of automobile drivers, transit passengers, bicyclists, and pedestrians; It is the first to address the proper application of micro-simulation analysis and the evaluation of those results; It is the first to discuss active traffic management in relation to both demand and capacity; and It is the first to provide specific tools and generalized service volume tables, to assist planners in quickly sizing future facilities.

In this book, the author has collected existing information on the analysis of elastic-plastic structures subjected to variable repeated loads and to variable temperature fields. He presents the foundations of the theory and its applications to the shakedown analysis of structures of various types and to computational algorithms. The book provides useful and interesting material for students of civil and mechanical engineering, practising engineers with a good mathematical background and also scientists concerned with the analysis of inelastic structures.

Marine Structural Design, Second Edition, is a wide-ranging, practical guide to marine structural analysis and design, describing in detail the application of modern structural engineering principles to marine and offshore structures. Organized in five parts, the book covers basic structural design principles, strength, fatigue and fracture, and reliability and risk assessment, providing all the knowledge needed for limit-state design and re-assessment of existing structures. Updates to this edition include new chapters on structural health monitoring and risk-based decision-making, arctic marine structural development, and the addition of new LNG ship topics, including composite materials and structures, uncertainty analysis, and green ship concepts. Provides the structural design principles, background theory, and know-how needed for marine and offshore structural design by analysis + Covers strength, fatigue and fracture, reliability, and risk assessment together in one resource, emphasizing practical considerations and applications + Updates to this edition include new chapters on structural health monitoring and risk-based decision making, and new content on arctic marine structural design.

CtiSoftware Vespa2 MSE v2.5.12.6522 [Size: 9.16 MB] ... New Vespa2 has all of the features of functionality of the original version, with some very important upgrades. Vespa2 includes a detailed, hand-calculation style PDF report that allows the user or reviewer to step through every equation and result in the analysis. Currently, the “Equation Report” is included for NCMA, Reinforced, Conventional and No-Fines Concrete Analysis (Static and Seismic), but will soon be updated to include AASHTO 2015.  Another key features incorporated into Vespa2 is the automatic BDF and GDF File updates.  The BDF (Block Definition File) and GDF (Geogrid Definition Files) will now be automatically updated with all of the latest Block and Geogrid information. Vespa MSE (Mechanically Stabilized Earth) Design Software is different. Created by experts in MSE design, Vespa saves time by automating processes currently done manually, and by integrating the design and drawing process. Compared to existing MSE Design Software options, Vespa increases design efficiency, improves accuracy, and promotes a seamless flow of information between design stages and parties.

Providing the first worldwide survey of active earthquake faults, this book focuses on those described as 'seismic time bombs' - with the potential to destroy large cities in the developing world such as Port au Prince, Kabul, Tehran and Caracas. Leading international earthquake expert, Robert Yeats, explores both the regional and plate-tectonic context of active faults, providing the background for seismic hazard evaluation in planning large-scale projects such as nuclear power plants or hydroelectric dams. He also highlights work done in more advanced seismogenic countries like Japan, the United States, New Zealand and China, providing an important basis for upgrading building standards and other laws in developing nations. The book also explores the impact of major quakes on social development through history. It will form an accessible reference for analysts and consulting firms, and a convenient overview for academics and students of geoscience, geotechnical engineering and civil engineering, and land-use planning.
