FUNDAMENTALS OF SOIL DYNAMICS AND EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING
The majority of the cases of earthquake damage to buildings, bridges, and other retaining structures are influenced by soil and ground conditions. To address such phenomena, Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering is the appropriate discipline. This textbook presents the fundamentals of Soil Dynamics, combined with the basic principles, theories and methods of Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering. It is designed for senior undergraduate and postgraduate students in Civil Engineering & Architecture. The text will also be useful to young faculty members, practising engineers and consultants. Besides, teachers will find it a useful reference for preparation of lectures and for designing short c...
Essentials of Applied Dynamic Analysis
This book presents up-to-date knowledge of dynamic analysis in engineering world. To facilitate the understanding of the topics by readers with various backgrounds, general principles are linked to their applications from different angles. Special interesting topics such as statistics of motions and loading, damping modeling and measurement, nonlinear dynamics, fatigue assessment, vibration and buckling under axial loading, structural health monitoring, human body vibrations, and vehicle-structure interactions etc., are also presented. The target readers include industry professionals in civil, marine and mechanical engineering, as well as researchers and students in this area.
SOIL MECHANICS
This book introduces the basic principles of engineering behaviour of soils. The text is designed in such a manner that the syllabi of a core course in Soil Mechanics/Geotechnical Engineering I prescribed in the curriculum of most of the Indian universities is covered. While reading the text, student experiences classroom teaching–learning process. An emphasis is made on explaining the various concepts rather than giving the procedure. After reading this book, students should be able to: • Give an engineering classification of a soil • Understand the principle of effective stress, and then calculate stresses that influence soil behaviour • Calculate water flow through ground and understand the effects of seepage on the stability of structures. This textbook is primarily intended for the undergraduate students of civil engineering. Key Features • Numerous numerical solved examples • Objective Type Questions (with Answers) at the end of each chapter • Use of SI Systems of units
PRESTRESSED CONCRETE
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

ELEMENTS OF HYDROLOGY AND GROUNDWATER
The book, designed for the postgraduate students of Pure and Applied Geology (M.Sc.) and Hydrology and Groundwater (M.Tech) and undergraduate students of Civil Engineering/Irrigational Engineering/Water Resource Engineering, is highly useful to the students for their course study and is also likely to help those appearing in various competitive examinations such as GATE, NET, PSC and UPSC. This book comprises fifteen chapters, of which the first six chapters are devoted to Hydrology, whereas the last nine chapters impart the knowledge of Groundwater. The text explains topics in a simple manner using step-by-step approach throughout and supports learning with illustrations and diagrams. KEY FEATURES 1. Covers a wide range of topics on Hydrology and Groundwater. 2. Provides chapter-end Review Questions, Objective Type Questions and Numerical Problems for practice. 3. Includes Appendices on Unit Conversion Factors; Glossary; and Answers to Objective Type Questions and Numerical Problems, respectively, with a detailed bibliography.
