Providing requirements for general structural design, this title also includes means for determining dead, live, soil, flood, wind, snow, rain, atmospheric ice, and earthquake loads, and their combinations that are suitable for inclusion in building codes and other documents. It is useful for structural engineers and architects.

ANSI/ASCE/T&DI 21.2-08 is Part 2 of the four-part Automated People Mover (APM) Standards, which establishes the minimum set of requirements necessary to achieve an acceptable level of safety and performance for an APM system. This Standard, along with Parts 1 and 3, covers a minimum set of requirements for the design of an automated people mover.

Providing minimum design load requirements during construction for buildings and structures, this title addresses partially completed structures and temporary structures used in construction. The topics include loads and load combinations, dead and live loads, construction loads, lateral earth pressures, environmental loads, and safety criteria.

A replacement of ASCE 7-95. This work includes: expanded wind loads section; new requirement for flood and ice loads; and improved for snow and earthquake loads. It also includes a commentary on the standard, containing explanatory and supplementary information that assists building code committees and regulatory authorities.

Represents the consensus of the ASCE Committee on Oxygen Transfer Standards. Here, various components of power consumption are defined; methods for measurement of gas rate and power consumption by oxygenation devices are given; computer programs for nonlinear regression analysis are presented; and the preparation of data analysis is discussed.

A presentation of good practice in compaction grouting. This guide covers both the practical and engineering aspects of compaction grouting and is essential reading for anyone interested in specifying, designing, and/or undertaking compaction grouting.

What does it mean to live behind a levee? How much protection does a levee really provide? What do you need to know to remain as safe as possible? This title answers these questions about levees and their associated risk. It is intended to help you better protect yourself against the flood threats.

Contains the model for water quality planning and management of shared water resources that provides a framework which governments can adopt or modify with regard to riparian rights. This book analyzes various aspects of planning and management, including administration, water quality and allocation, financing, and dispute resolution.

ANSI/ASCE/T&DI 21.4-08 is Part 4 of the four-part Automated People Mover (APM) Standards, which establishes the minimum set of requirements necessary to achieve an acceptable level of safety and performance for an APM system. This Standard covers the minimum set of requirements for maintaining automated people mover systems.

Talks about ASCE/SEI Standard 25-06 that provides minimum functionality requirements for earthquake-actuated automatic gas shut-off devices and systems. This standard is applicable only to devices carrying gaseous fuels, such as natural gas and propane.

Provides minimum requirements for flood-resistant design and construction of structures located in flood hazard areas. This standard applies to new construction, which includes: new structures including subsequent work to such structures, and work classified as substantial repair or substantial improvement of an existing structure.

Provides several techniques and guidance in developing quality assurance requirements for specifying fine-pore aeration equipment. Three methods for specifying compliance testing are described, including information on appropriate applications, advantages and disadvantages of each method, and the procedures to be followed.

Focuses on the direct design of buried precast concrete pipe using Standard Installations, and reviews the design and construction of the soil/pipe interaction system that is used for the conveyance of sewage, industrial wastes, storm water, and drainage. This volume presents the SIDD method for buried precast concrete pipe.

Provides detailed guidance that practicing engineers can follow to determine the handling characteristics of residuals and to select appropriate conveyance systems. To ensure correct handling and transport of residuals, this manual describes a procedure for classifying residuals according to their transport properties.

Provides minimum requirements for flood-resistant design and construction of structures located in flood hazard areas. Topics discussed include basic requirements for flood hazard areas, high risk flood areas, flood hazard areas subject to high velocity wave action, design, materials, dry and wet floodproofing, utilities, and means of egress.

Provides requirements for the structural design, construction contract documents, fabrication, and installation of cables for use as structural elements for the support and bracing of buildings, their roofs, and their floors. This work covers such topics as drawings and specifications; design considerations; cable materials; fittings; and more.

Automated People Mover Standards establishes the minimum set of requirements necessary to achieve an acceptable level of safety and performance for an automated people mover (APM) system. This book provides general information and definitions followed by discussions of the operating environment, safety requirements, system dependability, and more.

ASCE/EWRI Standard 50-08 provides current guidelines for fitting saturated hydraulic conductivity using probability density functions. Standard ASCE/EWRI 51-08 addresses the calculation of effective saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ke or Kew) in local-scale groundwater flow, whether or not it is isotropic. This book covers both the standards.

ANSI/ASCE/T&DI Standard 21-05 is Part 1 of the four-part Automated People Mover (APM) Standards. This work includes minimum requirements for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of APM systems. It is for anyone who owns, operates, builds, maintains, designs, tests, insures, oversees, or certifies APMs.

Provides a model for comprehensive water quality planning and management of shared water resources. Based on the concept of shared sovereignty, this model agreement is suitable for situations where the Parties are prepared to relinquish a significant degree of sovereignty of their portion of the shared water resource.
