In Japan, as a large number of sewer lines approach and exceed their design service life, rehabilitation of these ageing sewers to ensure their safe operation and upgrade their functions gains urgence. In this pioneering work, Z. Shi, M. Nakano and Y. Takahashi present a systematic treatment of structural analysis and renovation design of ageing sewers as semi-composite pipes, including testing and construction guidelines. The concept of a semi-composite pipe and the application of fracture mechanics of concrete in numerical modelling are the two distinctive features of the established design theories, which have been employed for sewer renovation in Japan for more than 20 years, with the total length of renovation construction now exceeding 700 km. The leading authors have engaged in designing the renovation of ageing sewers since the mid 1990s, and the book will become a valuable reference work for sewer engineers worldwide, and academics and students in civil, urban and architectural engineering departments.

À mesure que l'environnement bâti vieillit, la démolition est devenue une industrie en croissance rapide offrant d'importantes possibilités d'emploi. Au cours des années 1990, le nombre d'entrepreneurs a augmenté de près de 60 % et il y a maintenant plus de 800 entreprises américaines axées sur la démolition, ainsi que de nombreuses autres offrant ce service dans le cadre de leur portefeuille. Il est également devenu une entreprise de plus en plus complexe, nécessitant une combinaison unique de compétences en gestion de projet, de connaissances juridiques et contractuelles et de compétences en ingénierie de la part de ses praticiens. Demolition a été créé en partenariat avec la National Demolition Association et est écrit spécifiquement pour les étudiants en gestion de la construction et en ingénierie, bien qu'il soit également une référence inestimable pour toute personne impliquée dans des projets de démolition. Le livre couvre les pratiques de démolition modernes, l'impact des différents types de construction, les réglementations de démolition, l'estimation des travaux de démolition, les contrats de démolition, la sécurité sur le projet de démolition, l'équipement de démolition typique, la manipulation et le recyclage des débris, l'utilisation d'explosifs, la participation des entrepreneurs de démolition à la réponse aux catastrophes. , et gestion de projet de démolition.

Iowa is the only state that lies entirely within the natural region of the tallgrass prairie. Early documents indicate that 95 percent of the state-close to 30 million acres-was covered by prairie vegetation at the time of Euro-American settlement. By 1930 the prairie sod had been almost totally converted to cropland; only about 30,000 acres of the original "great green sea" remained. Now, in this gracefully illustrated manual, Shirley Shirley has created a step-by-step guide to reconstructing the natural landscape of Iowa and the Upper Midwest.Chapters on planning, obtainin

O livro faz uma retrospectiva sobre o que se pensava das argamassas de cal e alguns de seus constituintes ao longo dos séculos. Revela informações úteis tanto do ponto de vista histórico quanto para subsidiar obras de restauração através da análise de textos italianos, franceses, portugueses, espanhóis e brasileiros. É uma viagem no tempo, mostrando aspectos ligados à composição, ao preparo e às propriedades das argamassas elaboradas com esse aglomerante comentados à luz da ciência contemporânea.
