Dostępność: na zamówienie Written for the piping engineer and designer in the field, this two-part series helps to fill a void in piping literature, since the Rip Weaver books of the '90s were taken out of print at the advent of the Computer Aid Design (CAD) era. Technology may have changed, however the fundamentals of piping rules still apply in the digital representation of process piping systems. The Fundamentals of Piping Design provides the same valuable principles that Rip Weaver advocated but with the addition of support data and information necessitated by the information technology revolution in the process industry.

Dostępność: na zamówienie Discovering Bentley Architecture is based on the award-winning MicroStation Platform with the benefit of a uniform interface throughout the entire Bentley Building product line. With the ability to create a BIM (Building Information Model) in either 2D or 3D, Bentley Architecture speeds up the creation of Construction Documentation while creating useful BIM data.

Dostępność: na zamówienie Based on the classic text by Fair, Greyer, and Okun, this new edition is updated to include eight new chapters by university professors and practicing engineers. It reflects current practice, provides access to an academic version of Bentley's Haestad Methods Water Solutions software, and includes homework problems. In this age of mounting urbanization and industrialization, water and wastewater systems are stressed. Clean and ample sources of water for municipal uses are becoming harder to find and more expensive to develop. In order to create effective designs and efficient operations, engineers need a fuller understanding and application of scientific principles.

Dostępność: na zamówienie RFID for Materials Management and Productivity Improvement is the first comprehensive reference book available to guide users in the capital projects industry through the process of using radio frequency identification (RFID) technology in the supply chain to achieve financial benefits. It is a concise resource to access the requirements, implementation, and usage of RFID on a construction job-site, specifically as it relates to pipe spools and marked metal pieces.

Dostępność: na zamówienie Schedule for Sale is a guidebook for applying WorkFace Planning to optimize construction productivity through preparation and planning. The basic concept of WorkFace Planning – an industry best practice – is that construction schedules can be reduced by improving the coordination of information, tools, and materials at the work face, where work is performed. The process improves quality and reduces construction costs by minimizing schedules through improved productivity. This is accomplished by developing detailed, achievable plans that are based upon reality and experience.

Dostępność: na zamówienie MEANDER – Variegating Architecture features the research and teaching of Ferda Kolatan and Jenny Sabin – work that exemplifies a new generation of research-based practices. These practices are enriching the ways in which architecture can be made, employed, and enjoyed. Their research builds on the shared platforms and networks that have evolved over the past two decades to focus on the production of variegated organizations. It tests the social, cultural, and aesthetic potential of such architectures at different scales and in different materials.

Dostępność: na zamówienie This book provides the last word on feature-by-feature comparisons of AutoCAD and MicroStation from the user's perspective. Each chapter presents a quick summary of a specific feature in AutoCAD, followed by the related feature in MicroStation. The AutoCAD software users will find the book to be a great asset in transitioning from the AutoCAD environment to the MicroStation design environment. Conversely, the book is equally valuable for the MicroStation product user who needs to make the transition to AutoCAD.

Dostępność: na zamówienie To effectively use water distribution models, the engineer must be able to link knowledge of basic hydraulic theory and the mechanics of the program with that of the operation of real-world systems. Advanced Water Distribution Modeling and Management does just that! Written by industry experts, it provides practical resources for engineers and modelers that go well beyond being a how-to guide for typing data into a computer program. The book contains straightforward answers to common questions related both to modeling and to distribution systems in general.

Dostępność: na zamówienie Water systems are secure because of the conscientious efforts of managers, engineers, and operators. Much of this security comes from accepted practices in the water industry. However, no water system can be perfectly safe. The costs for such security would be prohibitive. Society in developed countries has become accustomed to safe secure water systems because it is one of the distinguishing features of a successful economy and is often taken for granted. It is the job of proficient utility managers, engineers, and operators to use resources wisely to provide adequate safe and secure water.
