The book presents the select proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Transportation Systems Engineering and Management (CTSEM 2021). The book covers topics pertaining to three broad areas of transportation engineering, namely Transportation Planning, Traffic Engineering and Pavement Technology. The topics covered include transportation and land use, urban and regional transportation planning, travel behavior modeling, travel demand analysis, forecasting and management, transportation and ICT, public transport planning and management, freight transport, traffic flow modeling and management, highway design and maintenance, capacity and level of service, traffic crashes and safety, I...
Climate change, energy production and consumption, and the need to improve the sustainability of all aspects of human activity are key inter-related issues for which solutions must be found and implemented quickly and efficiently. To be successfully implemented, solutions must recognize the rapidly changing socio-techno-political environment and multi-dimensional constraints presented by today’s interconnected world. As part of this global effort, considerations of climate change impacts, energy demands, and incorporation of sustainability concepts have increasing importance in the design, construction, and maintenance of highway and airport pavement systems. To prepare the human capacity ...
Industrial and academic scientists face increasing challenges to find cost-effective and environmentally sound methods for converting natural resources into fuels, chemicals and energy. With over 7000 papers published in this field of catalysis each year, keeping up with the literature can be difficult. Catalysis Volume 27 presents critical and comprehensive reviews of the hottest literature published over the last twelve months. Covering major areas such as chemical transformations using two-dimensional hybrid nanocatalysts, conversion of biomass-derived syngas to fuels and catalytic oxidation of organic pollutants in aqueous solution using sulfate radicals, this book is a useful reference for anyone working in catalysis and an essential resource for any library.
This book comprises the proceedings of the International Conference on Green Buildings and Sustainable Engineering (GBSE 2019), which focused on the theme “Ecotechnological and Digital Solutions for Smart Cities”. The papers included address all aspects of green buildings and sustainability practices in civil engineering, and focus on ways and means of reducing pollution and degradation of the environment through efficient usage of energy and water. The book will prove a valuable reference resource for researchers, practitioners, and policy makers.
Advances and Technology Development in Greenhouse Gases: Emission, Capture and Conversion is a comprehensive seven-volume set of books that discusses the composition and properties of greenhouse gases, and introduces different sources of greenhouse gases emission and the relation between greenhouse gases and global warming. The comprehensive and detailed presentation of common technologies as well as novel research related to all aspects of greenhouse gases makes this work an indispensable encyclopedic resource for researchers in academia and industry.Volume 5 titled Carbon Dioxide Conversion to Chemicals and Energy provides a beneficial strategy to control the rise of greenhouse gases (GHGs...
The book begins with a brief introduction, helping the reader to understand the fundamentals of stress concept and prestressed concrete systems. The discussion then follows to explain the computation of different losses and estimation of ultimate flexural and shear strength. Important codal provisions viz. IS1343-2012, Eurocode EN2 and BSEN-1:2004 are also highlighted in this text. For clear understanding of the materials, the text is supported by a good number of figures and tables. Besides covering the important topics on design and analysis of anchorage zone stresses and analysis of continuous beam, the book also discusses composite construction and circular prestressing. The book is designed as a textbook for the senior level undergraduate and postgraduate students of civil engineering and construction technology. KEY FEATURES
National Conference on “Sustainable Infrastructure: Challenges and Opportunities (PRAGYATA–2023)” has been organized on 28–29, April 2023 by Shri Vaishnav Vidyapeeth Vishwavidyalaya, Indore (MP), India in collaboration with The Institution of Engineers (India), through Virtual Mode. Pragyata–2023 will provide a national forum for exchanging ideas, information, and experiences among academicians, researchers, consultants, engineers, manufacturers, and post-graduate scholars. It will also serve as a medium to discuss and evaluate the latest research trends, innovative technologies, policies and new directions in infrastructure development, pollution prevention and eco-friendly technologies adapted by developing countries, and to promote cooperation and networking amongst practitioners and researchers involved in addressing sustainable and resilient infrastructure. The conference will be concise, clear, and cohesive in terms of research related to innovative trends and sustainable developments in the different fields of technology.
Pavements are engineered structures essential to transportation, commerce and trade, and everyday life. In order for them to perform as expected, they must be designed, constructed, maintained, and managed properly. Providing a comprehensive overview of the subject, Pavement Engineering: Principles and Practice, Second Edition covers a wide range of topics in asphalt and concrete pavements, from soil preparation to structural design and construction. This new edition includes updates in all chapters and two new chapters on emerging topics that are becoming universally important: engineering of sustainable pavements and environmental mitigation in transportation projects. It also contains new...
