Continuum Mechanics Modeling of Material Behavior offers a uniquely comprehensive introduction to topics like RVE theory, fabric tensor models, micropolar elasticity, elasticity with voids, nonlocal higher gradient elasticity and damage mechanics. Contemporary continuum mechanics research has been moving into areas of complex material microstructural behavior. Graduate students who are expected to do this type of research need a fundamental background beyond classical continuum theories. The book begins with several chapters that carefully and rigorously present mathematical preliminaries: kinematics of motion and deformation; force and stress measures; and general principles of mass, momentum and energy balance. The book then moves beyond other books by dedicating several chapters to constitutive equation development, exploring a wide collection of constitutive relations and developing the corresponding material model formulations. Such material behavior models include classical linear theories of elasticity, fluid mechanics, viscoelasticity and plasticity. Linear multiple field problems of thermoelasticity, poroelasticity and electoelasticity are also presented. Discussion of nonlinear theories of solids and fluids, including finite elasticity, nonlinear/non-Newtonian viscous fluids, and nonlinear viscoelastic materials are also given. Finally, several relatively new continuum theories based on incorporation of material microstructure are presented including: fabric tensor theories, micropolar elasticity, elasticity with voids, nonlocal higher gradient elasticity and damage mechanics.

Unique, cutting-edge material on structural dynamics and natural forces for offshore structures

Using the latest advances in theory and practice, Dynamics of Offshore Structures, Second Edition is extensively revised to cover all aspects of the physical forces, structural modeling, and mathematical methods necessary to effectively analyze the dynamic behavior of offshore structures. Both closed-form solutions and the Mathematica software package are used in many of the up-to-date example problems to compute the deterministic and stochastic structural responses for such offshore structures as buoys; moored ships; and fixed-bottom, cable-stayed, and gravity-type platforms.

Throughout the book, consideration is given to the many assumptions involved in formulating a structural model and to the natural forces encountered in the offshore environment. These analyses focus on plane motions of elastic structures with linear and nonlinear restraints, as well as motions induced by the forces of currents, winds, earthquakes, and waves, including the latest theories and information on wave mechanics. Topics addressed include multidegree of freedom linear structures, continuous system analysis (including the motion of cables and pipelines), submerged pile design, structural modal damping, fluid-structure-soil interactions, and single degree of freedom structural models that, together with plane wave loading theories, lead to deterministic or time history predictions of structural responses. These analyses are extended to statistical descriptions of both wave loading and structural motion.

Dynamics of Offshore Structures, Second Edition is a valuable text for students in civil and mechanical engineering programs and an indispensable resource for structural, geotechnical, and construction engineers working with offshore projects.

This book expounds the hydraulics of fine sediment which is almost ubiquitously found in coastal and estuarine waters, and in rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. Although the basic subject may be categorized as applied marine physics in shallow waters, several physicochemical and biological effects on particulate transport have been addressed.In this second edition most of the chapters have been substantially updated, rewritten, and expanded. Overall, a significant change has also been made throughout by replacing sediment concentration, a unit dependent quantity at the heart of numerous descriptions, measurements, and calculations, with the nondimensional sediment volume fraction. It marks a divergence in the manner in which fine sediment transport data and calculations are conventionally presented.The book is mainly written for civil engineering seniors and graduate students, to offer a comprehensive foundation in hydraulics of fine sediment. The book is also a useful reference for researchers interested in the effects of physical chemistry and biology on fine sediment transport in water and to an extent on coastal and estuarine morphodynamics, sediment transport, port and harbor engineering, and applied shallow watwer marine physics. The book is also recommended reading for those interested in understanding particle transport in water.

This book explores many recent techniques including ANN, fuzzy logic, hydraulic models and IWRM utilized for integrated water resources management, a real challenge in India for obtaining high irrigation efficiency. The book deals with topics of current interest, such as climate change, floods, drought, and hydrological extremes. The impact of climate change on water resources is drawing worldwide attention these days; for water resources, many countries are already stressed and climate change along with burgeoning population, rising standard of living, and increasing demand are adding to the stress. Further, river basins are becoming less resilient to climatic vagaries. Fundamental to addressing these issues is hydrological modelling which is covered in this book Further, integrated water resources management is vital to ensure water and food security. Integral to the management is groundwater and solute transport. The book encompasses tools that will be useful to mitigate the adverse consequences of natural disasters.

The present edition, with new title Coastal Engineering, is the enlarged and updated volume of the book originally published under the title Coastal Hydrodynamics in 2012. In the recent past, exponential growth in coastal industries, human settlements and mushrooming of coastal protective structures have led to fast depletion of coastal features, overexploitation of both living and non-living ocean resources and abuse of ocean and coastal waters, resulting in nature's aggression in the form of tsunami and storms. It is, therefore, necessary to understand the nature and to build coastal facilities accordingly so that coastal equilibrium is not disturbed. It provides an overview of world population and ocean resources, natural threats and man-made hazards, and their impact on coastal environment. It discusses the fundamentals of wind, waves, tides and fluid flow and describes commonly adopted wave theories in coastal engineering. The text explains the methods for estimating wave forces on coastal structures, procedures for the analysis of wave data, and sediment transport. Apart from the estimation of beach profile evolution and shoreline change, the book discusses key aspects related to the design of different coastal structures. The book is intended for the undergraduate and postgraduate students of Ocean Engineering and Marine Engineering. It will also benefit the coastal engineers in understanding the processes associated with the coast and the design principles associated with the construction of coastal structures. Key Features Worked-out examples will benefit the reader to understand and solve variety of coastal engineering problems. Exercises given at the end of each chapter would benefit the reader to get exposed to a variety of practical problems related to coastal engineering. New To The Second Edition Two new chapters on Beach Profile and Shoreline Evolution and Design of Breakwaters and Coastal Protective Structures. Colour photographs, appended at the end of the book.

Prepared by the KSTAT Standards Committee of the Standards Development Council of the Environmental and Water Resources Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers Calculation of the Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity of Fine-Grained Soils is the fourth standard in a series that enhances the probabilistic characterization and understanding of the behavior of a key groundwater parameter, the saturated hydraulic conductivity. Standard ANSI/ASCE/EWRI 65-17 provides guidelines for calculating saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat), permeability, and porosity of fine-grained soils. The calculation has four components: strain-stress data from a step-load test; one-dimensional vertical consolidation theory relating Ksat to the coefficient of consolidation; the relation between Ksat and permeability; and the relation between porosity and the void ratio of the soil. This standard's methodology can be applied to refine or improve calculations of land subsidence, groundwater flow prediction, and transport of dissolved solutes moving in groundwater. The methodology in this standard is limited to fine-grained, compressible, inorganic soils. Highly organic soils (peat) exhibit anomalous primary and secondary consolidation and are out of scope of this standard. Standard ASCE 65-17 will be useful to environmental engineers, water resources engineers, and anyone who uses hydraulics in engineering.

Engineering Hydrology, sometimes called hydrologic engineering, is an engineering specialty that focuses on water resources. Engineering Hydrology is chiefly concerned with the flow and storage of water including urban drainage, water supply, wastewater treatment, river management and coastal protection. Hydrological engineering also focuses on preventing floods and lessening the effects of floods, droughts and other natural disasters. In this book, we try to cover different aspects of Engineering Hydrology. Firstly, we discuss the role of hydrological studies for the development of the TDPS System and an application of filtered renewal processes. Then we present the role of the dominant modes of precipitation variability over Eastern Africa in modulating the hydrology of Lake Victoria and the review of GRACE Data Applications in terrestrial hydrology monitoring. Relative contributions of forest change and climatic variability to hydrology in large watersheds and climate change impact on the hydrology of a typical watershed in the Tianshan Mountains are also discussed. In the middle part of the book, we focus on impacts of forest fires and climate variability on the hydrology of an Alpine medium sized catchment in the Canadian Rocky Mountains and scenario-based impact assessment of land use/cover and climate changes on watershed hydrology in Heihe river basin of Northwest China. Then hydrologic responses to land Use change in the Upper Fenhe River Watershed and an analysis of land use change dynamics and its impacts on hydrological processes in the Jialing River Basin are also discussed. We also try to present geographic concerns on flood climate and flood hydrology in monsoon-dominated Damodar river basin of Eastern India and the use of H-SAF soil moisture products for Operational Hydrology along with flood risk management in remote and impoverished Areas of Haiti. The last chapters of the book describe remote sensing-based assessment of the variability of winter and summer precipitation in the Pamirs and their effects on hydrology and hazards using harmonic time series analysis. We also try to find out the hydrological excitation of polar motion derived from GRACE gravity field solutions and spatial evaluation of heavy metals concentrations in the surface sediment of Taihu Lake. At the end, we describe National scale rainfall-runoff modelling with demonstration of a hydrological modelling framework and large-Scale hydrological modeling and decision-making for agricultural water consumption and allocation in the main stem tarim river of China.

Hydraulics corresponds to a wide variety of fields unified in a marvelous engineering set of models, all of then resting on several basic physical principles and with vast applications. The direct applications go from simple home hydraulic systems, as in our kitchens or bathrooms to the large industrial structures, buildings, factories, all that make modern life possible. The industrial applications are by far the most studied. It is indeed needed to understand the flows on different geometries, and how this flow produces changes in the system, pressure and viscosity, that determines how the fluid is going to behave even in the simplest structure. The complications to compute and make predictions are enormous, it is only with the aid of numerical calculations that some results can be obtained, nevertheless, the control by using valves and several types of pipelines and some other devices that allow us to reproduce the results that we need for control and applications, even when the fluids are in turbulent and complex regimes. The research in this field pursues to understand mostly industrial applications, but some branches are also related to basic science, where the physics is similar, although the equations that rules are different, such as nanofluids, nanosensors devices and nanoparticles motion in a fluid. The aim of this book is to take some practical examples and show the most relevant concepts and methods. We hope it will give a little inside into the physics and techniques involved in the hydraulics engineering.

The objective of this book is to give knowledge of open channel hydraulics and hydrology, leading to understanding of the scientific foundations and basic principles of these fields, and the ability to apply hydraulic and hydrological methods to engineering applications in an integrated way. The first part of the book describes an assessment of the literature and recent developments on the shallow wake in an open channel flow and secondary currents and turbulence over a non-uniformly roughened open-channel bed. Then we present flow patterns in an open channel confluence with increasingly dominant tributary inflow and a novel approach for estimating the recurrence intervals of channel-forming discharges. After that, we try to find the effect of the hydraulic retention time on the performance of an ecological wastewater treatment system with a constructed wetland and rehabilitation priority determination of water pipes based on hydraulic importance.

Hydrology deals with the origin, occurrence, circulation, distribution, the physical and chemical properties of water and its interaction with living organisms. Hydrology is an essential field of science since everything from tiny organisms to individuals to societies to the whole of civilization - depends so much on water. Hydrological engineering, also called water resources engineering, is a civil engineering specialty offered at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Hydrological engineering is chiefly concerned with the flow and storage of water. Topics commonly covered include urban drainage, water supply, wastewater treatment, river management and coastal protection. Hydrological engineering also focuses on preventing floods and lessening the effects of floods, droughts and other natural disasters. Water is an essential resource that is required by all life on Earth. Studying the movement, availability, and quality of water are the jobs of a hydrologist. More specifically hydrologists study the chemical properties, biological interactions, and the physical processes that govern the water cycle. The water cycle or hydrologic cycle is a process by which water is continuously cycled around the earth. This happens through different pathways and at different rates but the central concepts remain the same. Water evaporates from the ocean, condenses as clouds, moves over land, and precipitates. From there it can enter ground water, evaporate again, or enter a stream or lake. It will eventually find its way back to the ocean either by falling as precipitation, flowing with a river, or by moving ever so slowly with ground water. The hydrologic cycle is also a process that transfers heat energy. Heat is transported pole ward by water being evaporated and then condensing which releases heat. Without the water cycle the climate would be much more frigid and areas away from the equator would be much less habitable. Hydrology is more significant these days because we plan ahead of time to deal with extremes (scarcity of water leading to droughts, and overflowing of water bodies leading to floods). This text introduces students to the key concepts and methods in physical and engineering hydrology.

Modern design of berm breakwaters began about thirty years ago. However, to date, there has been a lack of a well-established, formal design methodology on berm breakwaters. The authors Dr Jentsje van der Meer and Sigurdur Sigurdarson combine over 40 years of collective experience working with breakwaters to put forward a design framework in Design and Construction of Berm Breakwaters; covering the science and design practices of berm breakwater structures. The original design consisted of mass armoured berms that reshaped into statically stable S-shaped slopes. The design was adopted in Iceland and eventually led to a development with more stable structures by using available rock sizes, large rock, and more rock gradings than just 'small rock (core)' and 'large rock (berm)'. This more stable and only partly reshaping structure is called the Icelandic-type berm breakwater.Written for researchers and practitioners, the volume consists of chapters on geometrical designs of the berm breakwater cross-section, including berm reshaping and wave overtopping, quarry and project management, as well as blasting and sorting techniques, designs for various wave conditions and available rock classes, and case studies of already constructed berm breakwaters.

Equations describing transient motion in pipelines are shown in a straight-forward manner and these are used to introduce the reader to some practical methods of computer analysis in use today. Case studies and assessments of systems and equipment.

Proceedings of sessions honouring the 100th anniversary of the Panama Canal at the ASCE Global Engineering conference 2014, held in Panama City, Panama, October 7-11, 2014. Sponsored by the history and heritage Committee of ASCE. The history of the Panama Canal began nearly 500 years ago with the discovery by the Spanish of the isthmus between the oceans. Almost 400 years with several failed attempts would pass before the canal finally opened to boat traffic in August 1914. This collection of nine papers presents the lives and experiences of the engineers and planners who struggled for decades to get the canal accepted, funded, built and launched in order to ensure its successful operation during the last 100 years.

Entropy Theory in Hydraulic Engineering: An Introduction is the first book to explain the basic concepts of entropy theory from a hydraulic perspective and demonstrate the theory's application in solving practical engineering problems. In the hydraulic context, entropy is valuable as a way of measuring uncertainty or surprise-or even disorder or chaos-as a type of information. As hydraulic systems become more complex, entropy theory enables hydraulic engineers to quantify uncertainty, determine risk and reliability, estimate parameters, model processes, and design more robust and dependable water hydraulic systems. Drawing on many years of experience applying and teaching hydraulics, Vijay Singh provides a clear introduction to the fundamentals of entropy theory as it has evolved over the past 40 years. He explores its application in five areas important to hydraulic engineers: velocity distributions, sediment concentration and discharge, hydraulic geometry, channel design, and water distribution systems. More than 170 solved examples illustrate these applications, and each chapter concludes with problem sets and plentiful references. By illustrating the power, usefulness, and versatility of entropy theory, this book puts a valuable tool in the hands of practitioners. Graduate students, advanced undergraduates, and their professors will benefit from the lucid explanation of a complex theory and its applications.
