Practising engineers on site, in the design office or in client organizations will find this book an excellent introduction to the design and construction of sprayed concrete lined (SCL) tunnels. The complex behaviour of the early age behaviour of the sprayed concrete requires careful management. This book covers all aspects of SCL tunnelling – from the constituents of sprayed concrete to detailed design and management during construction. Although there is a close interdependence between all the facets of sprayed concrete, few engineers have the right breadth of experience and expertise, and this urgently needs to be transferred to the wider engineering community. Disseminating essential information for tunnelling engineers, Sprayed Concrete Lined Tunnels is key reading for all involved in or studying the process.
This book presents a wide range of recent advances in hydraulics and water engineering. It contains four sections: hydraulics and open channel flow; hydrology, water resources management and hydroinformatics; maritime hydraulics; ecohydraulics and water quality management. World authorities such as Mike Abbot, I Nezu, A J Metha, M Garcia and P Y Julien have contributed to the book.
The countries in the Asia-Pacific region enjoy economic growth rates amongst the highest in the world today. It has transformed the nature of their industries and raised the living standards of the populace. The accelerated developments in these countries have, however, created severe demands on energy and the environment.This conference aimed to address issues related to energy and environmental protection in the quest for sustainble development. It will bring together participants from academia, industries and government agencies, from over 18 countries primarily in the Asia-Pacific region, and provide a forum for them to interact, share information, report research in progress and identify opportunities in the relevant fields.

Design plays a significant role in environmental, ethical, economic and cultural arenas, and contributes to people's wealth, cultural identity and quality of life. This textbook presents the theory and practice of design fundamentals. It offers learning objectives that develop motivation, creative spirit, and cognitive strategies among students.
Hydroinformatics addresses cross-disciplinary issues ranging from technological and sociological to more general environmental concerns, including an ethical perspective. It covers the application of information technology in the widest sense to problems of the aquatic environment. This two-volume publication contains about 250 high quality papers contributed by authors from over 50 countries. The proceedings present many exciting new findings in the emerging subjects, as well as their applications, such as: data mining, data assimilation, artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms and genetic programming, chaos theory and support vector machines, geographic information systems and virtual imaging, decision support and management systems, Internet-based technologies. This book provides an excellent reference to researchers, graduate students, practitioners, and all those interested in the field of hydroinformatics.
