Praise for the Previous Edition

“The extent of coverage is impressive. As well asbeing a useful reference book in its own right, it isextremely useful to have a single starting point forgraduates ... the book is well structured and easy touse.”

—S. Sinclair, Maritime Engineering

Historically, much harm has been done by well-mean-ing coastal engineering attempts, which seemed likegood ideas on paper but which failed to allow forpractical issues. For this reason, it is vital that theoriesand models are well grounded in practice. This sec-ond edition brings the models and examples of prac-tice up to date. It has expanded coverage of tsunamisand generating energy from waves to focus both onthe great dangers and the great opportunities that theocean presents to the coastal zone. With an emphasison practice and detailed modeling, this is a thoroughintroduction to all aspects of coastal processes, mor-phology, and design of coastal defenses. It describesnumerous case studies to illustrate the successfulapplication of mathematical modeling to real-worldpractice. This is a must-have book for engineering stu-dents looking to specialize in coastal engineering andmanagement.

ConstructionMaterialsTheir Nature andBehaviour, Fourth EditionEdited by

Peter DomoneUniversity College London, UK

John IllstonRetired Engineer, UK

“Some of the civil engineering and architectureschools, however, now have less dedicated courses inmaterials and a significant part of the requiredmaterials knowledge is provided within other cours-es. A textbook such as this will hence not only be use-ful as a reference book for a number of these cours-es, but will also be helpful in providing a unified per-spective to students learning about materials underthese conditions.”

—D. Gunaratnam, Architectural Science Review

The twenty–first century has brought much growth inour understanding of materials’ behavior and in theirtechnology and use. This new edition has beenexpanded to cover recent developments such as theuse of glass as a structural material. It also examinesthe contribution that material selection makes to sus-tainable construction practice, considering the avail-ability of raw materials, production, recycling andreuse. The new edition maintains the predecessor’sfamiliar and accessible format, starting with funda-mental principles and continuing with a section oneach of the major groups of materials, including met-als, concrete, ceramics, polymers, fiber composites,bituminous materials, timber, and glass.

• Updated with a new section on glass

• Includes a new chapter in each section on recycling

• Supplies a new section on the selection of mate-rials and environmental and sustainability issues

Hydrology inPracticeFourth EditionElizabeth M. Shaw,Keith J. Beven, Nick A. Chappell, andRob LambThis fourth edition of Hydrology in Practice, whileretaining all that is excellent about its predecessor, byElizabeth M. Shaw, replaces the material on the FloodStudies Report with an equivalent section on themethods of the Flood Estimation Handbook and itsrevisions. Other completely revised sections on instru-mentation and modeling reflect the many changesthat have occurred over recent years. The updatedtext has taken advantage of the extensive practicalexperience of the staff of JBA Consulting who use themethods described on a day-to-day basis. Topical casestudies further enhance the text and the way in whichstudents at the undergraduate and graduate level canrelate to it. The fourth edition also includes new mate-rial on hydrological processes, which also relate tocourses in geography and environmental sciencedepartments. In this respect the book draws on theexpertise of Beven and Chappell, who have extensiveexperience of field hydrological studies in a variety ofdifferent environments, and have taught undergradu-ate hydrology courses for many years. The text uses SIunits.

András Szöllösi-NagyUNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education, Delft, TheNetherlands

This textbook is a practical guide to real-time stream-flow forecasting that provides a rigorous descriptionof a coupled stochastic and physically based flow rout-ing method and its practical applications. Thismethod is used in current times of record-breakingfloods to forecast flood levels by various hydrologicalforecasting services. By knowing in advance when,where, and at what level a river will crest, appropriateprotection works can be organized, reducing casual-ties and property damage. Through its real-life caseexamples and problem listings, the book teacheshydrology and civil engineering students and water-resources practitioners the physical forecasting modeland allows them to apply it directly in real-life prob-lems of streamflow simulation and forecasting.Designed as a textbook for courses on hydroinformat-ics and water management, it includes exercises anda CD with MATLAB® codes for the simulation ofstreamflows and the creation of real-time hydrologicalforecasts.

HydraulicModelling – An IntroductionPrinciples, Methodsand ApplicationsPavel Novak, Vincent Guinot, Alan Jeffrey, andDominic E. Reeve

“The authors have written an outstanding and time-ly work.”

—Willi H. Hager and Michael Pfister, Journal ofHydraulic Research

“This book should definitely find its place in alllibraries concerned with hydraulics, hydroinformat-ics and modelling. ... And it should be advised asessential reading to students at postgraduate levelin hydraulics and hydroinformatics.”

—Jean A. Cunge, Journal of Hydroinformatics

“... not only an invaluable guide for students butaddresses all researchers and practitioners workingin the field of water resources. ... it should find itsplace not only in the libraries of research institutesand universities, but also should be of interest andavailable to all concerned with the design and con-struction of all hydraulic structures.”

—Vodni Hospodarstvi (Water Management, in Czech)

“A must-have for every hydraulics engineer wholooks to the future of their profession.”

—Corado Gissoni, L'Acqua

Modelling is a vital part of all engineering design, yetmany hydraulic engineers are not fully aware of theassumptions involved in the process. These assump-tions can have important consequences when choos-ing the best model to inform design decisions. Thisbook helps identify the most appropriate form ofanalysis for the hydraulic engineering application inquestion. The book also provides guidance on therange of accuracy to be expected of the model simu-lations and how they should be related to the proto-type. Applications to models include open channelsystems, closed conduit flows, storm drainage sys-tems, estuaries, coastal and nearshore structures, andhydraulic structures.
