Theoretical Foundation Engineering provides up-to-date, state-of-the-art reviews of the existing literature on lateral earth pressure, sheet pile walls, ultimate bearing capacity of shallow foundations, holding capacity of plate and helical anchors in sand and clay, and slope stability analysis.
The key principles of designing a pleasant, comfortable and healthy eco-home, with a foreword written by HRH The Prince of Wales, now King Charles III.
Down and dirty - a complete step-by-step guide to making, installing and living with beautiful, all-natural earthen floors Poor heat and moisture management are the enemies of durable, comfortable, and efficient housing, and good building design and construction starts with a solid understanding of good building science.
A comprehensive study of the oyster shell building material of the South Carolina LowcountryBeaufort, South Carolina,is well known for its historical architecture, but perhaps none is quite as remarkable as those edifices formed by tabby, sometimes called coastal concrete, comprising a mixture of lime, sand, water, and oyster shells.
For builders of natural homes (straw bale, cob, adobe, rammed earth, and other natural materials), this unique step-by-step guide takes the confusion out of choosing, mixing, and applying natural plasters.
This book sets out the basic principles of composite construction with reference to beams, slabs, columns and frames, and their applications to building structures.
Honorable Mention, Award for Excellence in Scholarly and Professional Publishing Maurice Schwartz, Editor of the much acclaimed Encyclopedia of Beaches and Coastal Environments (Hutchinson Ross, 1982) has now brought forth a new volume with a fresh interdisciplinary approach that includes geomorphology, ecology, engineering, technology, oceanography, and human activities as they relate to coasts.
A cost engineer is responsible for projecting cost and expense reports for the production process, identifying and mitigating risks, and developing strategic techniques to reduce excessive financial loss for project buildings.
Cogeneration can now turn up to 90% of the fuel burned into usable energy - compared to just 52% of the fuel typically burned in the local power plant and in a separate existing hot water heating system.
The security and economic stability of many nations and multinational oil companies are highly dependent on the safe and uninterrupted operation of their oil, gas and chemical facilities.
