Permeable Pavements
edited by: Bethany Eisenberg, Kelly Collins Lindow, David R. Smith
2015, 262 p.
ISBN: 9780784413784
Price: $120.00
Description:
Sponsored by the Low Impact Development Committee of the Urban Water Resources
Research Council of the Environmental and Water Resources Institute of ASCE.
Permeable Pavements is a comprehensive resource for the proper design, construction,
and maintenance of permeable pavement systems that provide a transportation surface and a best
management practice for stormwater and urban runoff. A cornerstone for low impact
development (LID) and sustainable site design, permeable pavements are considered a green
infrastructure practice. They offer many environmental benefits, from reduced stormwater runoff
and improved water quality to better site design and enhanced safety of paved surfaces.
Commonly used for walkways, driveways, patios, and low-volume roadways as well as
31
recreational areas, parking lots, and plazas, permeable pavements are appropriate for many
different land uses, particularly in highly urbanized locations.
This volume synthesizes todayâ€™s knowledge of the technology, drawing from
academia, industry, and the engineering and science communities. It presents an overview of
typical permeable pavement systems and reviews the design considerations. Detailed design,
construction, use, and performance information is provided for porous asphalt, pervious concrete,
permeable interlocking concrete pavement, and grid pavements. Fact sheets and checklists help to
successfully incorporate permeable pavement systems into design projects. Additional chapters
summarize emerging technologies, maintenance considerations, hydrologic design approaches,
key components for specification writing, and key areas for additional research. Appendixes
include a fact sheet clarifying information on common concerns, as well as data tables
summarizing water quality treatment performance and costs.
Permeable Pavements is an essential reference for engineers, planners, landscape
architects, municipalities, transportation agencies, regulatory agencies, and property owners
planning to implement this best management practice for stormwater and urban runoff.

Description:
Selected papers from the 2011 Low Impact Development Conference, held in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, September 25-28, 2011. Sponsored by the Low Impact Development
Committee of the Urban Water Resources Research Council of the Environmental and Water
Resources Institute of ASCE
As federal, state, and local governments realize that traditional approaches to stormwater
management are not achieving the desired environmental protection goals, they are increasingly
adopting low impact development (LID) technology as the preferred approach to stormwater
management in land development and redevelopment. Low Impact Development Technology:
Design Methods and Case Studies contains 22 papers that address a wide range of LID design
applications and includes a number of practical case studies.
Topics include: rain gardens and bioretention systems; green streets and hardscapes; green
roofs; and watershed restoration. A companion volume, Low Impact Development Technology:
Implementation and Economics, is also available.
Both collections will be of interest to engineers, land planners, and government officials
working on stormwater management and land use policy.

External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS)
An Evaluation of Hygrothermal Behaviour
Eva, Barreira, Vasco Peixoto de Freitas
2016
Softcover, ISBN: 978-3-319-20381-2, price 53,49 €
e-book, ISBN: 978-3-319-20382-9, price 41,64 €
About this book:
 Explores a little-investigated topic: the hygrothermal behaviour of external thermal
insulation composite systems (ETICS)
 Presents a methodology to estimate the risk of surface humidification, which can then be
used as a decision support tool
 Introduces new validated routine to simulate factors affecting the exterior surface
temperature of walls at night
This book analyzes the hygrothermal behaviour of external thermal insulation composite
systems (ETICS), components that increase the thermal efficiency of buildings. Treating a topic
that has largely been neglected, it explores the main cause of biological growth within ETICS.
33
The results of two experimental test series are presented: (i) a long-term assessment of four
façades covered with ETICS and (ii) an evaluation of the factors affecting the façades’
hygrothermal behaviour. Furthermore, using a previously validated numerical model, it presents a
sensitivity analysis of the hygrothermal behaviour of façades coated with ETICS. It also provides
a methodology to assess the surface humidification of ETICS, which combines the effect of
surface condensation, wind-driven rain and the drying process (three of the most prevalent
parameters influencing the surface moisture content), which can then be used as a decisionsupport tool. ETICS are now frequently used in Europe to improve the thermal efficiency of
buildings. Despite their advantages in terms of thermal efficiency, their low cost and their ease of
application, these systems are adversely affected by microbiological growth, which causes
defacement of cladding. Although the thermal and mechanical performance of the system is not
impaired, biological defacement has an enormous aesthetic impact, affecting the inhabitants’
living experience and restricting the full implementation of this technology. External Thermal
Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS): An Evaluation of Hygrothermal Behaviour provides a
valuable resource to engineers and architects utilizing ETICS in their work, and for researchers
and students interested in the hygrothermal behaviour of ETICS. It is also intended for those
employed in industry and manufacturers of ETICS.

About this book:
Crosses disciplines to create a single reference work of considerable breadth
Covers all major aspects of the science of earthquake Engineering
Explains protection of natural and man-made environments
Considers the ways to limit the seismic risk to socio-economically acceptable levels
The Encyclopedia of Earthquake Engineering is designed to be the authoritative and
comprehensive reference covering all major aspects of the science of earthquake engineering,
specifically focusing on the interaction between earthquakes and infrastructure. The encyclopedia
comprises approximately 265 contributions. Since earthquake engineering deals with the
interaction between earthquake disturbances and the built infrastructure, the emphasis is on basic
design processes important to both non-specialists and engineers so that readers become suitably
well-informed without needing to deal with the details of specialist understanding. The content of
this encyclopedia provides technically inclined and informed readers about the ways in which
earthquakes can affect our infrastructure and how engineers would go about designing against,
mitigating and remediating these effects. The coverage ranges from buildings, foundations,
underground construction, lifelines and bridges, roads, embankments and slopes. The
encyclopedia also aims to provide cross-disciplinary and cross-domain information to domainexperts. This is the first single reference encyclopedia of this breadth and scope that brings
together the science, engineering and technological aspects of earthquakes and structures.

Earthquake-Induced Structural Pounding
Series: GeoPlanet: Earth and Planetary Sciences
Robert Jankowski, Sayed Mahmoud
2015, 156 p.
Hardcover, ISBN: 978-3-319-16323-9, price 85,59 €
eBook, ISBN 978-3-319-16324-6, price 67,82 €
About this book:
 Presents a comprehensive summary of structural pounding observed during earthquakes
 Includes a special chapter on the mitigation of pounding effects
 Shares insights into aspects of seismic design for structures prone to pounding
This books analyzes different approaches to modeling earthquake-induced structural
pounding and shows the results of the studies on collisions between buildings and between bridge
segments during ground motions. Aspects related to the mitigation of pounding effects as well as
the design of structures prone to pounding are also discussed.
Earthquake-induced structural pounding between insufficiently separated buildings, and
between bridge segments, has been repeatedly observed during ground motions. The reports after
earthquakes indicate that it may result in limited local damage in the case of moderate seismic
events, or in considerable destruction or even the collapse of colliding structures during severe
ground motions. Pounding in buildings is usually caused by the differences in dynamic properties
between structures, which make them vibrate out-of-phase under seismic excitation. In contrast,
in the case of longer bridge structures, it is more often the seismic wave propagation effect that
induces collisions between superstructure segments during earthquakes.

Structural Analysis and Design to Prevent Disproportionate Collapse
Feng Fu
March 2016, 184 Pages
ISBN: 9781498706797
Price: £82.00
Features:
 Introduces European, British and US design guidance in some detail
 Covers a large range of structural types such as tall buildings, bridges, and space
structures
 Provides case studies on different types of structures designed against progressive
collapse
Summary:
Hard Guidance on Preventing Disproportionate Collapse.
Disproportionate collapse is a pressing issue in current design practice. Numerous causes
are possible – especially forms of extreme loading, such as blast, fire, earthquake, or vehicle
collisions. But it is the mechanism and its prevention which are of especial interest and concern.
After the World Trade Center collapse in 2001, interest was sparked, and it is now
imperative for a design engineer to have sufficient knowledge on both the analysis and design
against disproportionate collapse. Detailed structural design guidance for preventing this has been
developed in Europe and the US – such as BS5950 in the UK, and guidance from the Department
of Defense and the General Services Administration in the US. However, Structural Analysis and
Design to Prevent Disproportionate Collapse is the first systematic text in the market to help
design engineers or structural engineering students to properly understand this guidance.
Covers the design and analysis of a structure to prevent disproportionate collapse.
Provides an understanding of disproportionate collapse problems for different structures
under different loads.
Contains detailed knowledge on the design and progressive collapse analysis of complex
structures.
Incorporates ABAQUS®, ETABS, SAP2000, and Highlights 3D Modeling Techniques.
As progressive collapse analysis is a distinctive and complicated procedure, it normally
requires an ability to use a modern commercial finite element package, and Structural Analysis
and Design to Prevent Disproportionate Collapse features a detailed introduction to the use of
FE programs such as ABAQUS® in progressive collapse analysis. In addition, case studies are
performed using 3D FE models based on various types of structures such as multi-storey
buildings, long-span space structures, and bridges. These models replicate real collapse incidents
and prestigious construction projects, such as progressive collapse analysis of the Twin Towers,
structural fire analysis of World Trade Center 7, blast analysis of the Murrah Federal Building
40
and progressive collapse analysis of the Millau Viaduct, which help designers to fully understand
the failure mechanisms and effective mitigation methods in practice.
Rainfall Induced Soil Slope Failure: Stability Analysis and Probabilistic
Assessment
Lulu Zhang, Jinhui Li, Xu Li, Jie Zhang, Hong Zhu
May 2016, 376 Pages
ISBN: 9781498752794
Price: £140.00
Features:
 Combines a range of approaches to present a reasoned and systematic way of analysing
rainfall-induced landslides.
 Accounts for the coupling between pore water and the soil skeleton
 Addresses the stability of slopes with non-homogenous soils
 Presents a method for model calibration of slopes based on time varied field monitoring
data
Summary:
Rainfall-induced landslides occur globally. With global climate change, their frequency is
increasing and the consequences are becoming greater. Previous studies focus on a single
discipline, correlating landslides with rainstorms, geomorphology and hydrology to establish a
threshold prediction value; taking a geomechanical approach to slope stability; and assessing risk
from field records. This book integrates probabilistic approaches with the geotechnical modelling
of slope failures under rainfall conditions with unsaturated soil. It covers theoretical models,
reliability analysis based on coupled hydro-mechanical modelling, slope stability, and
probabilistic model calibration.

Rock Engineering Risk
John A. Hudson, Xia-Ting Feng
April 2015, 400 Pages
ISBN: 9781138027015
Price: £76.99
Features:
 Clearly explains basic material so that readers from different backgrounds will be able to
understand the content
 Emphasizes the linking of uncertainty and risk analysis concepts to practical rock
engineering projects
 Features illustrative examples of risks in major rock engineering projects and how these
were minimised
 Uses risk analysis protocols to enable the reader to assess the risks involved in any rock
engineering project
 Disseminates knowledge generated by the 4-year work of the ISRM Design Methodology
Commission
Summary:
There are risks in all construction projects, but engineering in rock masses for civil
engineering purposes requires consideration of many more factors than engineering with manmade materials — because the host material, rock, a natural material containing fractures and
pre-existing stresses, can have many adverse engineering properties. Accordingly, when
excavating and supporting tunnels and caverns, special approaches are required to ensure the
safety of the construction personnel and the structures themselves. Moreover, the current
increasing emphasis on safety, accountability and sustainability requires stricter attention to risk
and greater reliability than ever before.
This book provides a fresh, scholarly and valuable practical approach to the consideration
of risk in underground rock engineering projects based on the supporting subject of rock
mechanics. The risks are discussed through the ‘before construction’ and ‘during construction’
aspects — with Chapters on uncertainty and risk, rock engineering systems, rock fractures and
rock stress, and the design of a repository for radioactive waste. Establishing the validity of
computer modelling and simulation programs, plus two major case examples, relating to the
headrace tunnels and caverns for a hydroelectric project highlight in detail the authors’ new rock
engineering risk approach, especially how analysis before and monitoring during construction
can significantly reduce the construction risks.
Written by two eminent authors, the two most recent past-Presidents of the International
Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM), this modern and well illustrated guide on Rock Engineering
Risk complements the authors’ previous 2011 book on Rock Engineering Design. The book will
benefit engineers, contractors, clients, researchers, lecturers and advanced students who are
working on rock engineering projects in civil, mining, geological and construction engineering.

Summary:
Focuses on the Basic Methodologies Needed to Handle Random Processes.
After determining that most textbooks on random vibrations are mathematically intensive
and often too difficult for students to fully digest in a single course, the authors of Random
Vibration: Mechanical, Structural, and Earthquake Engineering Applications decided to revise
the current standard. This text incorporates more than 20 years of research on formulating bridge
design limit states. Utilizing the authors’ experience in formulating real-world failure probabilitybased engineering design criteria, and their discovery of relevant examples using the basic ideas
and principles of random processes, the text effectively helps students readily grasp the essential
concepts. It eliminates the rigorous math-intensive logic training applied in the past, greatly
reduces the random process aspect, and works to change a knowledge-based course approach into
a methodology-based course approach. This approach underlies the book throughout, and
students are taught the fundamental methodologies of accounting for random data and random
processes as well as how to apply them in engineering practice.
Gain a Deeper Understanding of the Randomness in Sequences.
Presented in four sections, the material discusses the scope of random processes, provides
an overview of random processes, highlights random vibrations, and details the application of the
methodology. Relevant engineering examples, included throughout the text, equip readers with
the ability to make measurements and observations, understand basic steps, validate the accuracy
of dynamic analyses, and master and apply newly developed knowledge in random vibrations and
corresponding system reliabilities.

January 2016, 162 Pages
ISBN : 9781785480805
Key Features:
 The only DEM technique to model the behavior of discrete civil engineering structures
 A specific and sophisticated tool to address the general features observed on site
 Details physical models, modeling and site measurements
Description:
A unique approach using DEM to model the behavior of discrete civil engineering
structures.
49
Dry stone retaining structures are structures made of individual decimeter stone blocks in
contact. One advantage of this construction technology lies in the weak amount of embodied
energy required for their construction, and uses only local materials. This technology may be a
positive answer to the challenges brought by sustainable policies in civil engineering.
Many of these structures are older than one hundred years and sustain damage due to
ageing; this places the owners in front of a challenging issue. Usual scientific tools cannot
address the specific behavior of such structures. Due to the discrete nature of the system, a large
amount of energy can be dissipated at contact level before failure of the structure. The shape,
arrangement and possible breakage of blocks may play a major role in their overall behavior,
specific to these structures. This book brings an overview of the DEM technique to model the
behavior of discrete civil engineering structures. Physical models, modeling and site
measurements are all explored, helping the civil engineer evaluate the behavior of unique
structures.

Acoustic Emission and Related Non-destructive Evaluation
Techniques in the Fracture Mechanics of Concrete.
Fundamentals and Applications
Masayasu Ohtsu
May 2015, 348 Pages
ISBN: 978-1-78242-327-0
Description:
The development of NDT (non-destructive testing) techniques used for the inspection of
concrete structures is currently in high demand, because many existing structures have become
aged and deteriorated in service. In order to formulate predictions on their stability and to
estimate their safety, it is necessary to identify damage signals and to determine their causes. In
this regard, the development and establishment of innovative and highly advanced nondestructive methods are required. Acoustic Emission (AE) and related NDE (non-destructive
evaluation) techniques have been extensively used to determine crack detection and damage
evaluation in concrete.
With the move towards a more sustainable society, and the need to extend the long-term
service life of infrastructure and aging and disastrous damage due to recent earthquakes, Acoustic
51
Emission (AE) and Related Non-destructive Evaluation (NDE) Techniques in the Fracture
Mechanics of Concrete: Fundamentals and Applications is a critical reference source for civil
engineers, contractors working in construction and materials scientists working both in industry
and academia.

The Water Sensitive City
Gary Grant
April 2016, 216 pages
ISBN: 978-1-118-89766-9
Description:
This book advocates a more thoughtful approach to urban water management. The
approach involves reducing water consumption, harvesting rainwater, recycling rainwater and
adopting Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) where surface water is not sent straight to drains
but is intercepted by features like green roofs, rain gardens, swales and ponds.Cities in particular
need to change the existing linear model of water consumption and use to a more circular one in
order to survive. The Water Sensitive City brings together the various specialised technical
discussions that have been continuing for some time into a volume that is more accessible to
designers (engineers and architects), urban planners and managers, and policymakers.

most recent advances and the latest technology.
Reclamation of Mine-impacted Land for Ecosystem Recovery
Nimisha Tripathi, Raj S. Singh, Colin D. Hills
April 2016, Wiley-Blackwell, 232 pages
ISBN: 978-1-119-05790-1
Description:
Mining activities significantly impact the environment; they generate huge quantities of
spoil, promote deforestation and the loss of agricultural production, as well as releasing
contaminants that result in the loss of valuable soil resources. These negative impacts are now
being recognized and this book shows how corrective action can be taken.
The introduction of sustainable mining requires mitigation strategies that start during the
mine planning stage and extend to after mineral extraction has ceased, and post-closure activities
are being executed.
Reclamation of Mine-impacted Land for Ecosystem Recovery covers: methods of
rejuvenation of mine wasteland including different practices of physical, chemical and ecological
engineering methods; benefits of rejuvenation: stabilization of land surfaces; pollution control;
aesthetic improvement; general amenity; plant productivity; and carbon sequestration as well as
restoring biodiversity and ecosystem function; best management practices and feasible solutions
to the impacts of mining which will reduce the pollution load by reducing the discharge rate and
the pollutant concentration; reduce erosion and sedimentation problems, and result in improved
abandoned mine lands; and ecosystem development.
The authors explain how mining impacts on soil properties and how soil carbon
reserves/soil fertility can be restored when mining has ceased. Restoration involves a coordinated
approach that recognizes the importance of key soil properties to enable re-vegetation to take
place rapidly and ecosystems to be established in a low cost and sustainable way.
This book’s unique combination of the methods for reclamation technologies with
policies and best practice worldwide will provide the background and the guidance needed by
scientists, researchers and engineers engaged in land reclamation, as well as by industry
managers

Modeling, Design, and Optimization of Net-Zero Energy Buildings
Editors: Andreas Athienitis, William O'Brien
February 2015, 396 pages
ISBN: 978-3-433-03083-7
Description:
Building energy design is currently going through a period of major changes. One key
factor of this is the adoption of net-zero energy as a long term goal for new buildings in most
developed countries. To achieve this goal a lot of research is needed to accumulate knowledge
and to utilize it in practical applications. In this book, accomplished international experts present
advanced modeling techniques as well as in-depth case studies in order to aid designers in
optimally using simulation tools for net-zero energy building design. The strategies and
technologies discussed in this book are, however, also applicable for the design of energy-plus
buildings. This book was facilitated by International Energy Agency’s Solar Heating and Cooling
(SHC) Programme and the Energy in Buildings and Communities (EBC) Programme through the
joint SHC Task 40/EBC Annex 52: Towards Net Zero Energy Solar Buildings R&D
collaboration.
After presenting the fundamental concepts, design strategies, and technologies required to
achieve net-zero energy in buildings, the book discusses different design processes and tools to
support the design of net-zero energy buildings (NZEBs). A substantial chapter reports on four
diverse NZEBs that have been operating for at least two years. These case studies are extremely
high quality because they all have high resolution measured data and the authors were intimately
involved in all of them from conception to operating. By comparing the projections made using
the respective design tools with the actual performance data, successful (and unsuccessful) design
techniques and processes, design and simulation tools, and technologies are identified.
Written by both academics and practitioners (building designers) and by North Americans
as well as Europeans, this book provides a very broad perspective. It includes a detailed
description of design processes and a list of appropriate tools for each design phase, plus methods
for parametric analysis and mathematical optimization. It is a guideline for building designers
that draws from both the profound theoretical background and the vast practical experience of the
authors.
Hyperbolic Structures: Shukhov's Lattice Towers - Forerunners of
Modern Lightweight Construction
Matthias Beckh
February 2015, 152 pages
ISBN: 978-1-118-93268-1
55
Description:
Hyperbolic structures analyses the interactions of form with the structural behaviour of
hyperbolic lattice towers, and the effects of the various influencing factors were determined with
the help of parametric studies and load capacity analyses. This evaluation of Shukhov’s historical
calculations and the reconstruction of the design and development process of his water towers
shows why the Russian engineer is considered not only a pathfinder for lightweight structures but
also a pioneer of parametrised design processes.
Soil Strength and Slope Stability, 2nd Edition
J. Michael Duncan, Stephen G. Wright, Thomas L. Brandon
October 2014, 336 pages
ISBN: 978-1-118-65165-0
Description:
The definitive guide to the critical issue of slope stability and safety.
Soil Strength and Slope Stability, Second Edition presents the latest thinking and
techniques in the assessment of natural and man-made slopes, and the factors that cause them to
survive or crumble. Using clear, concise language and practical examples, the book explains the
practical aspects of geotechnical engineering as applied to slopes and embankments. The new
second edition includes a thorough discussion on the use of analysis software, providing the
background to understand what the software is doing, along with several methods of manual
analysis that allow readers to verify software results. The book also includes a new case study
about Hurricane Katrina failures at 17th Street and London Avenue Canal, plus additional case
studies that frame the principles and techniques described.
Slope stability is a critical element of geotechnical engineering, involved in virtually
every civil engineering project, especially highway development. Soil Strength and Slope
Stability fills the gap in industry literature by providing practical information on the subject
without including extraneous theory that may distract from the application. This balanced
approach provides clear guidance for professionals in the field, while remaining comprehensive
enough for use as a graduate-level text. Topics include:
 Mechanics of soil and limit equilibrium procedures
 Analyzing slope stability, rapid drawdown, and partial consolidation
 Safety, reliability, and stability analyses
 Reinforced slopes, stabilization, and repair
The book also describes examples and causes of slope failure and stability conditions for
analysis, and includes an appendix of slope stability charts. Given how vital slope stability is to
public safety, a comprehensive resource for analysis and practical action is a valuable tool. Soil
Strength and Slope Stability is the definitive guide to the subject, proving useful both in the
classroom and in the field.
