Geoengineering – The Gamble

The field of civil engineering offers specific challenges to the higher education sector. Civil engineerings blend of management design and analysis requires people with a combination of academic and experimental knowledge and skill-based abilities.

Engineers need to be able to test the flammability of the materials they use in buildings and other structures. However, the range of test procedures and regulations in this important area is often confusing. Flammability testing of materials used in construction, transport and mining provides an authoritative guide to current best practice in ensuring safe design.

The use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials has had a dramatic impact on civil engineering techniques over the past three decades. FRPs are an ideal material for structural applications where high strength-to-weight and stiffness-to-weight ratios are required. Developments in fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites for civil engineering outlines the latest developments in fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites and their applications in civil engineering.

There have been a number of policy attempts at sustainable mobility globally, but are any of these policies really successful? This book tests these policies with empirical investigations by using an interdisciplinary approach which brings together various theories and methodologies.
