Gain unique insights into all facets of today's traffic and highway engineering with the enhanced edition of Garber and Hoel's best-selling TRAFFIC AND HIGHWAY ENGINEERING, SI Edition, 5th Edition. This edition initially highlights the pivotal role that transportation plays in today's society. Readers examine employment opportunities that transportation creates, its historical impact and the influences of transportation on modern daily life. This comprehensive approach offers an accurate understanding of the field with emphasis on some of transportation's distinctive challenges. Later chapters focus on specific issues facing today's transportation engineers to prepare readers to overcome common obstacles in the field. Worked problems, diagrams and tables, reference materials and meaningful examples clearly demonstrate how to apply and build upon the transportation engineering principles presented.

"Tunnelling provides a robust solution to a variety of engineering challenges. It is a complex process, which requires a firm understanding of the ground conditions as well as the importance of ground-structure interaction. This book covers the full range of areas related to tunnel construction required to embark upon a career in tunnelling. It also includes a number of case studies related to real tunnel projects, to demonstrate how the theory applies in practice. New features of this second edition include: the introduction of a case study related to Crossrail’s project in London, focussing on the Whitechapel and Liverpool Street station tunnels and including considerations of building tunnels in a congested urban area; and further information on recent developments in tunnel boring machines, including further examples of all the different types of machine as well as multi-mode machines.The coverage includes:Both hard-rock and soft-ground conditionsSite investigation, parameter selection, and design considerationsMethods of improving the stability of the ground and lining techniquesDescriptions of the various main tunnelling techniquesHealth and safety considerationsMonitoring of tunnels during constructionDescription of the latest tunnel boring machinesCase studies with real examples, including Crossrail’s project in LondonClear, concise, and heavily illustrated, this is a vital text for final-year undergraduate and MSc students and an invaluable starting point for young professionals and novices in tunnelling."--Provided by publisher.

This book provides an introduction to highway engineering for students on degree and diploma courses in civil engineering. It moves in a logical sequence from the planning and economic justification for a highway, through the geometric design and traffic analysis of highway links and intersections, to the design and maintenance of both flexible and rigid pavements. Existing texts have tended to concentrate purely on highway planning and analysis, or on pavement design and maintenance aspects of highway engineering. As a result, the standard has tended to be too advanced for students studying the subject for the first time. This textbook covers the basic ground in both areas. It features worked examples and case studies as an aid to understanding individual topics and aims to provide the student with a solid, practically based foundation for the topic of highway engineering, thus providing a gateway to the more advanced and specialised texts.

Conçu et rédigé en collaboration avec des praticiens reconnus, le Mémento Urbanisme-Construction rassemble en un seul ouvrage une réglementation complexe et dispersée. Il expose de manière exhaustive et synthétique la réglementation d'urbanisme (règles d'occupation du sol, documents d'urbanisme, permis de construire, d'aménager et de démolir, zone d'aménagement concerté et opérations foncières d'aménagement), les règles applicables à l'édification' et à la commercialisation de l'immeuble (marchés de travaux, sociétés de construction, vente d'immeubles à construire et autres contrats spéciaux) et celles relatives à la responsabilité et à l'assurance construction. De substantiels développements sont consacrés à la fiscalité (taxes d'urbanisme, régime fiscal de l'acquisition du terrain à bâtir). Le Mémento est à jour de la loi Elan (évolution du logement, de l'aménagement et du numérique) qui impacte les documents d'urbanisme, les autorisations d'urbanisme, l'aménagement commercial, les zones d'aménagement concerté, les lotissements et la vente en l'état futur d'achèvement. Il intègre également la codification du droit de la commande publique, la création des procédures de rescrit en matière de fiscalité de l'urbanisme et la réforme du contentieux de l'urbanisme destinée à sécuriser les autorisations de construire et favoriser les projets de construction. Ce Mémento s'adresse aux professionnels de l'immobilier (lotisseurs, promoteurs, constructeurs, marchands de biens, etc.), à leurs assureurs, aux collectivités territoriales et, bien entendu, aux conseils (notaires et avocats, tout spécialement).

La thermique du bâtiment est une discipline qui vise à étudier les besoins énergétiques des bâtiments. Elle aborde les notions d'isolation thermique et de ventilation afin d'offrir le meilleur confort thermique aux occupants. Elle aborde aussi les problématiques de fourniture d'énergie pour le chauffage et de production d'eau chaude sanitaire. Complet et très illustré, cet ouvrage propose un panorama complet de cette discipline, des notions fondamentales jusqu'au choix des équipements de chauffage et de climatisation.

The exponential growth of data combined with the need to derive real-time business value is a critical issue today. An event-driven data mesh can power real-time operational and analytical workloads, all from a single set of data product streams. With practical real-world examples, this book shows you how to successfully design and build an event-driven data mesh. Building an Event-Driven Data Mesh provides: • Practical tips for iteratively building your own event-driven data mesh, including hurdles you'll experience, possible solutions, and how to obtain real value as soon as possible • Solutions to pitfalls you may encounter when moving your organization from monoliths to event-driven architectures • A clear understanding of how events relate to systems and other events in the same stream and across streams • A realistic look at event modeling options, such as fact, delta, and command type events, including how these choices will impact your data products • Best practices for handling events at scale, privacy, and regulatory compliance • Advice on asynchronous communication and handling eventual consistency

For the Movers, Shakers, and Policy Makers in Energy Engineering and Related Industries The latest version of a bestselling reference, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Handbook, Second Edition covers the foremost trends and technologies in energy engineering today. This new edition contains the latest material on energy planning and policy, with a focus on renewable and sustainable energy sources.
