Engineering Modelling andAnalysisDavid Walker, Michael Leonard,Andrew Metcalfe and Martin Lambert, all atUniversity of Adelaide, Australia

Introducing engineeringstudents to numerical analysisand computing, this bookcovers a range of topicssuitable for the first threeyears of a four yearundergraduate engineeringdegree. The teaching ofcomputing to engineers ishampered by the lack ofsuitable problems for thestudents to tackle, so mucheffort has gone into making

the problems realistic and relevant, while at the sametime solvable for undergraduates.

Taking a balanced approach to teaching computing andcomputer methods at the same time, this book satisfiesthe need to be able to use computers (using both formallanguages such as Fortran and other applications such asMatlab and Microsoft Excel), and the need to be able tosolve realistic engineering problems.

The fully revised fourth edition of this successfultextbook fills a void which will arise when Britishdesigners start using the European steel code EC3instead of the current steel code BS5950. The principalfeature of the fourth edition is the discussion of thebehaviour of steel structures and the criteria used indesign according to the British version of EC3. Thus itserves to bridge the gap which too often occurs whenattention is concentrated on methods of analysis andthe sizing of structural components.

Because of their complexity and scale, metrostructures capture all the essential aspects of acut-and-cover structure, and so given primaryfocus in this book. The design of a metroconstruction is outlined coherently and in detail;and the reader is shown how to apply this designprocess equally well to other, relatively simple, cut-and-cover structures.

Geotechnical and structural engineering principlesare combined with both design and constructionpractice to make this book a unique one-stopresource for engineers working on any cut-and-cover structure.

Durability Design of ConcreteStructures in Severe EnvironmentsOdd E. Gjørv, Norwegian University of Science andTechnology, Norway

By designing in corrosionprevention and throughpreventive maintenance, you cansubstantially reduce the overallservice cost of a concretestructure. Taking a probabilisticapproach to the engineeringdesign issues, this book tacklesthe challenge of controllingdurability and service life ofconcrete structures in severeenvironments. Many durabilityproblems are caused by poor

quality control as well as special problems duringconcrete construction. You must firmly grasp the issueof construction quality and variability before you cansuccessfully control durability. This book helps by giving:

• reviews of field performance, deteriorating processes and current codes and practice

• methods for calculation of corrosion probability; performance-based concrete quality control; corrosion prevention and preventive maintenance

• calculation of life cycle costs and life cycle assessment

• recommended job specifications.

Internationally relevant with a practical focus, this is the essential guide for consulting and constructionengineers involved in the design and execution of newconcrete structures.

Seismic Design of Buildings toEurocode 8Edited by Ahmed Y. Elghazouli, Imperial College,London, UK

As the new Eurocode 8 on theDesign of Structures forEarthquake Resistance hasacquired the status of a fullEuronorm, practical informationand training has become urgentlyneeded, especially in relation tothe underlying principles ofseismic behaviour and the designof building structures.

This book covers seismic designin a clear but brief manner andlinks the principles to the code,

illustrated with design examples. Concrete and steelbuildings, and their foundations, are given specialemphasis but the book is also applicable to many othertypes of structure and sub-structure.

The book stems from practical short courses on seismicdesign, run jointly by the Society for Earthquake andCivil Engineering Dynamics (SECED) and Imperial CollegeLondon. It will be of value to a wide range of practisingcivil and structural engineers at different stages of theircareers; and should also be of direct use to academicspreparing courses and worked examples on seismicdesign to EC8, to advanced undergraduate students,and to Masters Level students in Earthquake, Structuralor Geotechnical Engineering.
