Civil Engineers and Engineering in Britain, 1600-1830
This volume is concerned with the development of civil engineering in Britain, from the 16th to the early-19th century. After a new introductory essay, Professor Skempton looks at the engineers themselves, their careers, and their emergence as a recognised profession. Two articles deal in particular with John Smeaton, 'the greatest engineer of his time', and the Smeatonian Society; others are concerned with the builders of river navigations, docks and harbours and fen drainage schemes. This theme is continued in the second part, which concentrates on the engineering of these works, for instance, the Thames navigation, and the London docks. It also includes two studies on key developments in the structure of multi-storey mills.
Health and Safety for Engineers
This is an essential reference book for engineers, providing comprehensive coverage of health and safety, and incorporating the latest thinking. For legal and ethical reasons engineers must commit to good health and safety management. This book demonstrates how to meet these obligations throughout the life of a project and at the same time achieve commercial advantage.Helen Stone ISI BSc Eng FISE, Past Chairman of Health and Safety Board, Institution of Civil Engineers
Civil Engineer's Reference Book
After an examination of fundamental theories as applied to civil engineering, authoritative coverage is included on design practice for certain materials and specific structures and applications. A particular feature is the incorporation of chapters on construction and site practice, including contract management and control.
Principles of Engineering Organization
This book has been written for engineers and managers to assist them in understanding and improving systems of organization. It provides a review of principles and some analysis of examples drawn from a range of engineering activities. Alternatives are reviewed and their potential advantages and disadvantages compared. The book introduces the principle of designing and organization to suit the work that is its primary task, and the cycle of activities common to new products, structures and other projects that are typical of any engineering project is considered.
A Biographical Dictionary of Civil Engineers in Great Britain and Ireland
Annotation This book presents biographical details of nearly 800 leading practitioners of the Victorian era, including many that have never been written about until now. It outlines the lives of these engineers and lists the works for which they were responsible, and provides indexes of names and places. The engineers covered in this volume were responsible for most of the infrastructure of the United Kingdom and the former `British Empire¿ during the Victorian era ¿ a time of unprecedented expansion. In addition to the designers of railways, docks, harbours and public utilities, this volume reveals information about the contractors who built them, the scientists who contributed to the dev...
