Product Description
Today's engineering and geoscience student needs to know more than how to design a new or remedial project or facility. Questions of law and ambiguities of terms often occur in contracts for mining, landfills, site reclamation, waste depositories, clean up sites, land leases, operating agreements, joint ventures, and other projects. Work place situations arise where environmental compliance methods are challenged by enforcement agencies. Although the statutes, rules, and regulations may seem to be worded clearly and specifically, there are often questions in application and sometimes varied interpretations.Environmental Law for Engineers and Geoscientists introduces simplified American jurisprudence focusing on the legal system, its courts, terms, phrases, administrative law, and regulation by the agencies that administer environmental law. The book comprehensively covers the "big five" environmental statutes: NEPA, CAA, CWA, CERCLA, and RCRA. With the basic law chapter as a foundation, the book covers the practical applications of environmental law for geo-engineers. It concludes with a chapter on the growing area of expert witnessing and admissible evidence in environmental litigation - an area of law where success or failure increasingly depends on the exacting preparation and presentation of expert scientific evidence.Written by a professional mining and geological engineer and a practicing attorney, Environmental Law for Engineers and Geoscientists prepares students for the numerous environmental regulatory encounters they can expect when dealing with various statutes, laws, regulations, and agency rules that govern, affect, and apply to environmental engineering projects. It provides a working knowledge of how to judge whether or not a project is in compliance with regulations, and how to ensure that it is. ... Read more

Product Description
Based on the authors' combined experience of seventy years working on projects around the globe, Construction Equipment Management for Engineers, Estimators, and Owners contains hands-on, how-to information that you can put to immediate use. Taking an approach that combines analytical and practical results, this is a valuable reference for a wide range of individuals and organizations within the architecture, engineering, and construction industry.

The authors delineate the evolution of construction equipment, setting the stage for specific, up-to-date information on the state-of-the-art in the field. They cover estimating equipment ownership, operating cost, and how to determine economic life and replacement policy as well as how to schedule a production-driven, equipment-intensive project that achieves target production rates and meets target equipment-related unit costs and profits. The book includes a matrix for the selection of equipment and identifies common pitfalls of project equipment selection and how to avoid them. It describes how to develop an OSHA job safety analysis for an equipment-intensive project, making this sometimes onerous but always essential task easier.

The authors' diverse and broad experience makes this a book that ranges from the rigorous mathematical analysis of equipment operations to the pragmatic discussion of the equipment maintenance programs needed to guarantee that the production predicted in a cost estimate occurs. ... Read more

Product Description
Scale or deposits can build up in the well-bore tubulars and other down-hole components causing considerable damage to the well. Infrastructure provides the supports for the well's system and with oil and gas consumption on the rise and transportation needed to feed the demand, all petroleum and pipeline engineers must have accurate corrosion and scaling information. This book provides the knowledge that engineers need to manage the problems encountered. ... Read more

Melaragno¹s latest is a must of bridge design professionals.
Michele Melaragno continues his tradition of authoring excellent books which bridge the gulf between engineering and architecture. In this volume, he covers both the important engineering aspects of bridges for architectsand the aesthetics of bridge design for engineers. It is an ideal startingpoint for any professional planning to enter bridge design competitions. Hetraces the historical development of bridges, preliminary design procedures(including checklists and type selection criteria), review and examples ofstate-of-the-art computer software for bridge design, bridge aesthetics(including a thorough review of the literature), bridge rehabilitiation,and an inventory of award winning bridges. While the cost of this book isconsiderable, it is justified on the basis of its value to the bridgedesign professional.As an architect, author, and architectural educatorteaching structures, I appreciate the excellent job that Dr. Melaragno didon this book. I highly recommend it to both architects and engineersinterested in bridge design.FM ... Read more

Product Description
Practical advice on sustainable (green) engineering from a world-renowned environmental engineering and remediation firm

Bringing together the real-world insights of engineers from the engineering and construction firm O’Brien & Gere and the teaching experiences of respected engineering educators, Strategic Environmental Management for Engineers offers both practitioners and students the principles, tools, and motivation to design and implement engineering projects in harmony with sustainable development.

Strategic Environmental Management for Engineers builds on the evolution of environmental practice--from hazardous waste cleanup and effluent control to preemptive prevention of pollution to proactive green engineering. Real-world insights come from the authors’ experience working with such high-profile clients as DaimlerChrysler, Bristol-Myers Squibb, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the U.S. Department of Energy.

Helpful coverage in Strategic Environmental Management for Engineers includes:

• All key environmental management tools, including life-cycle assessment, environmental metrics, extended producer responsibility, ISO 14000 environmental management systems, and "zero waste" options
• Valuable support for implementing SEM into an organization by function (e.g., R&D, engineering design, production, etc.) and by typical industry processes (e.g., papermaking, ethanol production, aluminum production, automobile manufacturing, etc.)

Strategic Environmental Management for Engineers is a valuable resource for all engineers, project managers in industry, environmental attorneys, and environmental administrators and regulators, as well as students. ... Read more

Excellent resource for learning about green accounting
Mr. Kennedy's book illustrates what we all know intuitively, that doing the "right thing" (good environmental managemetn practices) can pay off in profits.

His articulation of financial terms into easy tounderstand concepts really helped me to see where the profit hides inenvironmetnal projects.

The case study examples and exercises got methinking about the many projects and technologies I could use TCA for.

AnExcellent reference. ... Read more
