The geotechnical engineer needs to be aware of the advantages and problems of different tests for sites with different geological conditions. Interpreting the results of penetration tests is an essentially empirical activity and as such the engineer is required to understand standard equipment and procedures. This book provides crucial information about all these considerations and is a valuable textbook of current theory and practice.

The growth in offshore fish farming in the past decade has produced a crucial need to develop engineering solutions to its unique problems. The search for cleaner waters and the need to avoid polluting coastlines, combined with a general desire for expansion, have meant that farmers are constructing farms in ever more aggressive wave environments. Inevitably interdisciplinary, this book draws on the international experience of engineers and aquaculturalists in an attempt set up a design philosophy.

This guide begins with a broad overview of mill building structures and their development, illustrated with examples of mill construction details. It then moves on to discuss measures that may be needed to ensure compliance with modern Building Regulations. Historical and modern evidence is presented to show that the robustness of these old buildings must be assessed carefully and guidance is given on how robustness may be improved, where necessary.

RAMP (Risk Analysis and Management for Projects) is a simple and straightforward process for evaluating and controlling risk in major projects, which has been developed by a joint working party of the actuarial and civil engineering professions. This handbook shows how RAMP can enable one to identify, analyse and respond to risks, and place financial values on them. Allied with sound judgement, RAMP should reduce the chance of the resources committed to a project being wasted or the project being a failure. It should also lead to better financial returns for sponsors, investors and lenders, and help to improve the consequences of projects for the wider community.

From the 1790s for four decades, Telford's achievements were second to none in the application of engineering solutions, improved constructional materials and the use of technology. His projects, involving movement of people, goods or water extended to Poland, Sweden, Panama, Canada and India. This celebration of Telford's work marks the 250th anniversary of his birth. It includes original illustrations from the Institution of Civil Engineers archives and is written by industry experts to demonstrate the impact that his works and ideas still have on society today.

RAMP is a structured process for evaluating and controlling risk in major projects and this practical, working handbook is for everyone identifying, analysing and responding to risks and then placing a financial value on them, the RAMP process covers involved in the financial, commercial, legal or engineering aspects of a project. Providing a framework for the whole life of the asset involved, including post-completion reviews and methods for controlling any risks that remain, to increase the chances of overall project success. The third edition has been substantially revised to take account of clearer ways of presenting risk to decision-makers through simple scenarios, simpler criteria for determining whether risk responses should be adopted, the latest thinking about the management of uncertainty with a new chapter on this topic and a new chapter on social and environmental responsibility and the methods for coping with these risks in infrastructure projects. There is also a new executive summary with references to more detailed guidance within the guide.

The Civil Engineering Standard Method of Measurement CESMM has been well-established for over 20 years as the standard for the preparation of Bills of Quantities in civil engineering work. This much-anticipated fourth edition, CESMM4, brings the method into line with changes in industry practices and extends its usages into all new areas. New to CESMM4: - Contract neutral: For the first time CESMM can be used contact suites including NEC and FIDIC - National Standard neutral: wherever possible Bill items are produced without reference to some form of standard classification

A Guide to the Reservoirs Act 1975 provides expert guidance on the application of the Reservoirs Act 1975, reflecting the current views and practices of the dam engineering profession. This fully updated second edition incorporates the latest amendments to the Flood and Water Management Act, reflecting a more risk-based approach to reservoir regulation. These approaches include reducing the capacity at which a reservoir will be regulated from 25,000m3 to 10,000m3, and ensuring that only these reservoirs assessed as a higher risk are subject to regulation.
