Coastal structures are an important component in any coastal protection scheme. They directly control wave and storm surge action or to stabilize a beach which provides protection to the coast. This book provides the most up-to-date technical advances on the design and construction of coastal structures and sea defenses. Written by renowned practicing coastal engineers, this edited volume focuses on the latest technology applied in planning, design and construction, effective engineering methodology, unique projects and problems, design and construction challenges, and other lesions learned. Many books have been written about the theoretical treatment of coastal and ocean structures. Much less has been written about the practical practice aspect of ocean structures and sea defenses. This comprehensive book fills the gap. It is an essential source of reference for professionals and researchers in the areas of coastal, ocean, civil, and geotechnical engineering.

This book is a comprehensive, stand alone reference for structural steel design. Giving the audience a thorough introduction to steel structures, this book contains all of the need to know information on practical design considerations in the design of steel buildings. It includes complete coverage of design methods, load combinations, gravity loads, lateral loads and systems in steel buildings, and much more. Intended to bridge the gap between theory and practice, Structural Steel Design: A Practice Oriented Approach provides the essentials of individual component design while at the same time showing how these components are put together to form an entire building. Just like in real practice! This “holistic approach” is essential for any practicing engineer or any student looking to work in this field. Key features of this extraordinary text include: Realistic structural drawings * Practical real-world examples including the use of the design aids in the AISC Manual * A unique chapter on “Practical Considerations” provides a holistic design view while reinforcing the connection between structural elements and building design in practice. * Case-study example to reinforce the holistic design view * Step-by-step practical designs * A detailed treatment of structural loads including gravity and lateral loads that is weaved seamlessly into the structural design process. * Essential information including additional topics such as framing layout, floor vibrations analysis, Structural strengthening, torsion, and more!

During the last ten years, our understanding of the perfect plasticity and the associated flow rule assumption on which limit analysis is based has increased considerably. Many extensions and advances have been made in applications of limit analysis to the area of soil dynamics, in particular, to earthquake-induced slope failure and landslide problems and to earthquake-induced lateral earth pressures on rigid retaining structures. The purpose of the book therefore is in part to discuss the validity of the upper bound work (or energy) method of limit analysis in a form that can be appreciated by a practicing soil engineer, and in part to provide a compact and up-to-date summary of recent advances in the applications of limit analysis to earthquake-induced stability problems in soil mechanics.

This Geotechnical Special Publication contains 25 papers presented at the GeoHunan International Conference: Challenges and Recent Advances in Pavement Technologies and Transportation Geotechnics, which took place in Changsha, Hunan, China from August 3 to 6, 2009. This proceedings showcases recent developments and advancements in geotechnical and pavement engineering, and offers insights into future directions for geoengineering in the 21st century. The topics examined in this collection illuminate the breakthroughs and underscore the challenges in geotechnical and pavement engineering, especially with regard to highways, and include: asphalt binder and mixture characterization; recycled asphalt materials and pavements; accelerated testing of pavement structures and materials; economy and management of highway engineering; and, embankment stabilization and tunneling. This publication will be valuable to geotechnical professors and students, construction managers, and those involved in geotechnical and pavement engineering.
