Principles of Reinforced Concrete DesignMete A. Sozen and Santiago PujolPurdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, USA

Toshikatsu IchinoseNagoya Institute of Technology, Japan

The book explains fundamental concepts related to mechanics and direct observation, and those required to design reinforced concrete (RC) structures. For beginning engineers it is difficult to distinguish between rules based on consensus (codes) and fundamentals. This book focuses on the latter to prepare the engineer to use and adapt to the constant changes of the former. This is especially important today when engineers from the US and Europe, for example, design structures in Dubai and Shanghai, where codes are different from their local codes.

Unsaturated Soil Mechanics in Geotechnical PracticeGeoffrey E. BlightUniversity of the Witwatersrand, South Africa

There are other books on unsaturated soil mechanics, but this book is different. In most climatic zones, rainfall varies during the year and the depth of the water table varies sympathetically. In applying unsaturated soil mechanics in practice, it is therefore important to realize and allow for the probability that soil will, either seasonally or occasionally, pass from the unsaturated to the saturated state and even from unsaturation to dryness. This is the only book that looks specifically at this essential practical aspect.

By making use of the principles of systems science, the scientific community can explain many complicated matters of the world and shed new light on unsettled problems. This volume explores general systems, nonlinear systems dynamics, and the theory of catastrophe. It discusses dissipative structures and synergistics, chaos, fractals, complex systems and complexity, complex adaptive systems, open complex giant systems, and complex networks and related concepts and methods. Case studies demonstrate how various concepts and the logic of systems can be applied to resolve real-life problems.


Systems Engineering and SafetyBuilding the BridgePeter J. GlismannGlisWorks Engineering & Consulting, PLLC, Brooklyn, New York, USA

This book covers the payoff in both dollars and goodwill to the investment made in merging those two important and often neglected disciplines. It can be read, understood, and acted upon by the Chief Executive Officer of a multinational corporation, right down to the line manager of systems engineering or the technical professional in the safety department. The value in terms of cost savings is clearly illustrated be it in the form of financial, human, or social capital, or with real world examples.

Textbook

System Dynamics and Control with Bond Graph ModelingJavier A. KypurosUniversity of Texas, Edinburg, USA

This textbook treats system dynamics from a bond graph perspective. It guides students from the process of modeling using bond graphs, through dynamic systems analysis in the time and frequency domains, to classical and state-space controller design. Although established texts exist for system dynamics, bond graph modeling, and automatic controls, this book combines the three into a cohesive text optimized for upper-level undergraduates. It serves as a reference for practicing engineers as well as a textbook for system dynamics and controls courses that use bond graphs.

Strategic Management for the Plastics IndustryDealing with Globalization and SustainabilitySecond EditionRoger F. JonesFranklin International, LLC, Broomall, Pennsylvania, USA

This book explains the fundamental elements in polymer manufacturing; compounding, distribution, and processing that make the plastics industry unique, and shows how these factors affect management decisions. Using case studies and examples, it demonstrates the thinking behind successful managerial choices and illustrates the errors to avoid. The author also examines company culture, staffing, how to manage internal growth, the “dos and don’ts” of acquisitions, and much more. Revised and updated throughout, this edition includes a new chapter on globalization and sustainability.


Petroleum Economics and EngineeringThird EditionEdited by

Hussein K. Abdel-AalNational Research Center, Cairo, Egypt

Mohammed A. AlsahlawiKing Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, Saudi Arabia

Fully revised and expanded, this third edition delivers a structure that presents first to the reader an introduction to the oil industry, builds up the principles, methods and techniques of engineering economics, recognized as the tools, then moves to the applications and case studies section for three distinctive components underlying the petroleum industry along with fully worked-out examples. The revised edition brings a complete picture to the reader by looking globally at the “hydrocarbon industry” instead of the oil industry.


Knowledge Management HandbookCollaboration and Social NetworkingSecond EditionEdited by

Jay LiebowitzUniversity of Maryland University College, Adelphi, USA

Recent research shows that collaboration and social networking can foster knowledge sharing and innovation by sparking new connections, ideas, and practices. Yet these informal networks are often misunderstood and poorly managed. Building on the first edition this new edition focuses on collaboration and social networking. Topics covered include implementing a knowledge sharing culture, embedding knowledge management activities to encourage collaboration, developing a knowledge retention strategy, applying social network analysis to map knowledge flows, and using systems engineering approaches for collaboration and social networking.
