    • Publication Date : June 1996
    • Content type: Book
    • + Show Description- Hide Description
    • This Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996, which received Royal Assent during July 1996, will fundamentally change the way in which construction contracts are to administered and managed. Part 2 of the Act, which seeks to regulate the agreements entered into by parties involved with construction projects, raises many questions for anyone responsible for construction contracts: not least ""what is a construction contract?"".

      This book presents a section by section commentary and critical review of Part 2 of the Act.

    A Guide to the Procurement of Privately Financed Projects: An Indicative Assessment of the Procurement Process
    • Authors: Douglas Lamb; Tony Merna
    • Publication Date : September 2004
    • Content type: Book
    • + Show Description- Hide Description
    • A guide to the procurement of privately financed projects: an indicative assessment of the procurement process outlines the concept of privately financed projects (PFP) that can be used for both public-private and private-private interactions. Utilising models from many countries the guide develops a robust procurement system applicable to PFP and project finance in both the EU and overseas.

      This guide provides a systematic approach for the preparation and evaluation of privately financed projects (PFP) and services.

    A History of British Motorways

    • + Show Description- Hide Description
    • In A History of British Motorways, Dr Charlesworth presents a fascinating account of the way political and social attitudes concerning motorways have evolved. He describes the early road policies before and between the two World Wars and goes on to cover the building accelerated in the 1960s; however, during the 1970s objections began to be raised on environmental and social grounds. these, coupled with the oil crisis of 1973/4 and the general downturn in the economy, reduced the progress that was being made.

    A Short Course in Foundation Engineering, 2nd edition
    • Authors: N. Simons; B. Menzies
    • Publication Date : June 2000
    • Content type: Book
    • + Show Description- Hide Description
    • Although there are now a large number of computer programmes for solving all sorts of foundation design problems, the need to check these outputs by 'hand-calculation' has become vitally important. This book concentrates on getting the fundamentals right and then using them in practical applications.

      The book is illustrated with numerous worked examples and with quick-reference tables and charts.

    A Short Course in Geology for Civil Engineers
    • Authors: Dr M. Matthews MSc PhD FGS; Prof N. Simons PhD DSc FREng CEng FICE; Dr B. Menzies PhD DSc CEng FICE
    • Publication Date : April 2008
    • Content type: Book
    • + Show Description- Hide Description
    • This book explains the process of ground formation – what it is made of and how it behaves as an engineering material. This enables the civil engineer to work from a few first principles to determine if the ground is an asset or a hazard.

      It focuses on the tectonic plate mechanisms that give rise to the geology of our planet and describes the way these create hazards such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and tsunamis.

      The authors state that groundwater can be both a resource and a hazard and through this book they provide an overview of the origins of geomaterials.
