The fourteenth edition of the classic text, Design of Concrete Structures, is completely revised using the newly released 2008 American Concrete Institute (ACI) Code. This new edition has the same dual objectives as the previous editions: 1. To establish a firm understanding of the behavior of structural concrete 2. To develop proficiency in the methods used in current design practice Design…
BACKGROUND Heat and mass transfer is a basic science that deals with the rate of transfer of thermal energy. It has a broad application area ranging from biological systems to common household appliances, residential and commercial buildings, industrial processes, electronic devices, and food processing. Students are assumed to have an adequate background in calcu¬lus and physics. The complet…
Fluid power is called hydraulics when the fluid is a liquid and is called pneumatics when the fluid is a gas. Thus fluid power is the general term used for both hydraulics and pneumatics. Hydraulic systems use liquids such as petroleum oils, synthetic oils, and water. The first hydraulic fluid to be used was water because it is readily available. However, water has many deficiencies in comparis…
This text introduces engineering and architectural students to the basic tech-'- Jes required for analyzing the majority of structures and the elements of • r.ich most structures are composed, including beams, frames, arches, ."-•>es. and cables. Although the authors assume that readers have com-" r.ed basic courses in statics and strength of materials, we briefly review 3ie basic technique…
Programmed machine tools now represent nearly 100 per¬cent of manufacturing and, of greater impact to you, of new jobs. Entry-level people usually start in the shop as CNC operators. Flexible and friendly, the machines and program¬ing systems are so quick and easy to learn that they are now practical even for one-of-a-kind work such as mold making and die work, as well as production. Schools …
This book presents the basic principles of estimating the time and cost of con¬struction projects. To prepare an accurate estimate the estimator must perform a careful and thorough analysis of the work to be performed. The analysis includes the type and quantity of work, type and size of equipment to install the work, and jobsite conditions that are unique to the project that can impact the ti…
Our motivation in writing this text continues to be to provide a realistic, socio-technical view of project management. In the past, textbooks on project management focused almost exclusively on the tools and processes used to man¬age projects and not the human dimension. This baffled us since people not tools complete projects! While we firmly believe that mastering tools and processes is ess…

The basic premise for this text was to write a book students want to read, not have to…
This book has been written and revised several times over a period of nine years, in order to further improve its contents and account for the many suggestions and comments from my students, university colleagues, and reviewers. It is hoped that this effort will provide those who use this \ with a clear and thorough presentation of both the theory and application of fluid mechanics. To achieve …
The fourth edition of Incompressible Flow has several substantial revisions. Students now have ready access to mathematical computer programs that have advanced features and are easy to use. This has allowed inclusion, in the text and the homework, of several more exact solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations. Additionally, more homework problems have been added that rely on computation and gr…

I n this ninth edition we have retained the objectives and approaches for teaching materials science and engineering that were presented in previous editions. The first, and primary, objective is to present the basic fundamentals on a level appropriate for university/college students who have completed their freshmen calculus, chemistry, and physics courses. The second objective is to present …
The transportation system is often referred to as the nation's "lifeblood circulation system." Our complex system of roads and highways, railroads, airports and airlines, waterways, and urban transit systems provides for the movement of people and goods within and between our densest urban cities and the most remote outposts of the nation. Without the ability to travel and to transport goods, s…
