This is a collection of ten extensive review chapters by different authors.
This volume contains 17 papers on composite steel structures, presented at the International Conference organised by the Department of Civil and Structural Engineering, University College, Cardiff, UK. It covers the design of bridges, flooring design practices, connection design and cyclic tests.
An Introduction to Design for Civil Engineers is a concise book that provides the reader with the necessary background on terminology used in design. With this book as a guide, entry-level students of civil engineering will better understand from the outset lectures on detailed subject areas. Drawing on a wealth of experience, the authors present a largely qualitative treatment of the subject matter with little mathematics. Descriptions are amplified with numerous illustrations. This book will be a useful aid for entry-level students of civil engineering and related disciplines such as structural engineering, building engineering and architecture. It will also prove beneficial for newly qualified professionals and others who want a concise guide to everyday design technology.

Now includes Worked Examples for lectutrers in a companion pdf! The fourth edition of this volume presents design principles and practical guidance for key hydraulic structures. Fully revised and updated, this new edition contains enhanced texts and sections on: environmental issues and the World Commission on Dams partially saturated soils, small amenity dams, tailing dams, upstream dam face protection and the rehabilitation of embankment dams RCC dams and the upgrading of masonry and concrete dams flow over stepped spillways and scour in plunge pools cavitation, aeration and vibration of gates risk analysis and contingency planning in dam safety small hydroelectric power development and tidal and wave power wave statistics, pipeline stability, wave-structure interaction and coastal modelling computational models in hydraulic engineering. The book's key topics are explored in two parts - dam engineering and other hydraulic structures - and the text concludes with a chapter on models in hydraulic engineering. Worked numerical examples supplement the main text and extensive lists of references conclude each chapter. Hydraulic Structures provides advanced students with a solid foundation in the subject and is a useful reference source for researchers, designers and other professionals.
Steel Framed Structures contains ten chapters on rigid frames, sway frames, multi-storey frames, interbraced columns and beams, elastic stability, moment-resisting connections, flexibly connected frames, portal frames, and braced arches.
This book discusses various aspects of the design of a plate girder and focuses on the associated stability problems in shear. It deals with stability problems in compression, such as those met in box girder flanges and ship hulls, and is helpful for structural designers and post-graduate students.

This book is the most comprehension work on R.K.Narayan and perhaps the only one that the aim of this book is to exhibit how Narayan's comical sense goes with the three personality types: - Sattva, Rajas and Tamas. Through the psyche analysis of the common human weaknesses, it results, the change in the process of mind and then, is the rebirth of self and the process of its education. As the main application of the gunas in the Gita is ethical, we use goodness for Satva, passion for Rajas and dullness for Tamas. All three gunas (personality types) the source of humour, of comic enjoyment and comic spectacle in the novels of R.K.Narayan. The Psyche-moral comic sense exists in his almost all novels. But peaks in the two novels: Mr.Sampath and the Guide. Hence, the two novels are being treated the main sources for writing this book. Narayan's comic genius combines moral analysis all the two novels. Besides, this book brings a novel concept and unique in its kind, and also gives new dimension to highlight by using Gunas to achieve psyche-moral comic sense.
What makes some companies survive the test of time while others struggle and perish? Corporations do not exist in isolation; they are always part of something else, something bigger-an ecosystem. Inspired by the secrets of shinise (Japanese companies dating back to the time of samurais), R. Gopalakrishnan and R. Narayanan take a deep dive into the art of growing and sustaining a business. Over the forty-eight years of his close association with Unilever and Tata, Gopalakrishnan has gathered experiences and know-how about what makes companies tick, while Narayanan, having worked with Coca-Cola, Nestlé and then two start-ups of his own, has developed keen insights about angel investing and mentoring. Wisdom for Start-ups from Grown-ups is the culmination of their collaborative effort to bring the best of what grown-ups have to offer to start-ups, presented in the form of all-important lessons.
