This course provides an introduction to selecting water sources and determining water requirements for developing suitable sources of supply from ground or surface sources. You will learn how to determine water requirements for a development and how to size its water supply system. Both ground water and surface water sources are discussed, including their intakes, pumping facilities and equipment. A useful bibliography is included for future reference and a sample well design exercise is provided.

The exam doesn't test what you know. It tests whether you can find it. Most civil engineers who fail the FE exam don't fail because they don't know enough. They fail because they've been studying the wrong thing — memorizing formulas instead of learning to navigate the one resource available during every minute of the test: the FE Reference Handbook. The Alchemist's Formula teaches the actual skill the exam measures. Written as a novel, it follows Marcus Reyes — a Houston civil engineer who has failed the FE twice — through an eleven-week mentored preparation. The story is real enough...

Clean water, paved roads, public transit, electricity and gas, sewers, waste processing, telecommunication, even the Internet—all this infrastructure is what makes cities work and powers our lives, often seamlessly and silently. Virtually everything we do and consume depends on infrastructure. Yet, most people have no idea how these systems work. How is water treated? How do cities manage rainwater? Why do traffic jams exist? How is electricity generated and distributed? What happens to trash after it is picked up? How does the Internet work?

This publication provides introductory technical guidance for civil engineers and other professional engineers and construction managers interested in forces that ice imposes on structures. Here is what is discussed: 1. INTRODUCTION, 2. MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF ICE, 3. ENVIRONMENTAL FORCES, 4. FORCES LIMITED BY ICE FAILURE, 5. FORCES LIMITED BY THE MOMENTUM OF AN ICE FEATURE, 6. CANADIAN AND AMERICAN CODES, 7. VERTICAL ICE FORCES

How did a simple design error cause one of the great disasters of the 1980s - the collapse of the walkways at the Kansas City Hyatt Regency Hotel? What made the graceful and innovative Tacoma Narrows Bridge twist apart in a mild wind in 1940? How did an oversized waterlily inspire the magnificent Crystal Palace, the crowning achievement of Victorian architecture and engineering? These are some of the failures and successes that Henry Petroski, author of the acclaimed The Pencil, examines in this engaging, wonderfully literate book.

Are you a female engineer or a manager of female engineers? Are you working hard but not getting ahead? Do you feel you aren’t getting the recognition you deserve? Are you frustrated that you can’t seem to penetrate the "boys network" at work? Are you searching for a practical career guide that goes beyond social commentary on gender issues in engineering? As a 15-year engineering industry veteran and mom of three, Stephanie Slocum uses a conversational and down-to-earth approach to teach you how to succeed as a female engineer.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Ted Koppel reveals that a major cyberattack on America’s power grid is not only possible but likely, that it would be devastating, and that the United States is shockingly unprepared. “Fascinating, frightening, and beyond timely.”—Anderson Cooper Imagine a...

For millennia, humans have used one simple method to solve problems. Whether it's planting crops, building skyscrapers, developing photographs, or designing the first microchip, all creators follow the same steps to engineer progress. But this powerful method, the "engineering method", is an all but hidden process that few of us have heard of—let alone understand—but that influences every aspect of our lives.

Most engineers receive adequate technical training as part of their core engineering curriculum but get virtually no help when it comes to their people skills. As a result, many engineers are grossly under prepared to face the interpersonal challenges they inevitably encounter while working alongside other engineers and engineering managers. People Skills for Engineers was created specifically to fill this training gap. WARNING: Failings with people can be the undoing of even the most talented technical team. Drawing on more than sixteen years of experience working alongside other engineers...

Blueprints and Blood. In a world of falling towers, the only magic that matters is Infrastructure. When the Great Collapse overwrote reality, it didn't just bring monsters—it brought a total system failure. The power grids are dark. The water lines are dry. And the survivors are trapped in the crumbling bones of a dying city. Arthur isn't a warrior. He isn't a chosen hero. He’s an Infrastructure Mage. While others hunt for loot, Arthur hunts for copper wiring, reinforced rebar, and stable ley-lines. His mission? Bring the world back up to code, one bulkhead at a time. But the city has a...

The Floating Fortress: The 1,500-Year Engineering Secret of Venice is a captivating exploration of how one of the world's most beautiful cities was born from a desperate act of survival.

Through detailed accounts of the "submerged forest," readers will discover the ...

Background Subsurface investigations require use of equipment to gain information below the ground surface. The equipment is typically invasive and requires disturbance of the ground to varying degrees. Most of these exploration techniques are relatively expensive and therefore should be carefully planned and controlled to yield the maximum amount of information possible. It should be kept in mind that the quality of the information produced can vary significantly. If procedures are not followed carefully and data not interpreted properly, radically different conclusions can be reached. For...

Ironclad: The Extraordinary Story of the USS Monitor In the spring of 1861, the United States Navy was the most powerful fleet in the Western Hemisphere — and, within a year, almost entirely obsolete. When Confederate engineers raised a burned-out Union hulk from the mud of the Elizabeth River and began rebuilding her as an armored ram, they set off a desperate, ninety-day race in Washington to build something the world had barely imagined: a warship that could stand against iron. The answer came from John Ericsson, a brilliant, cantankerous Swedish-American engineer who had spent years ...
