This book focuses on two areas of ice technology: the use of ice as a construction material and the problems caused by ice to constructions. In connection with describing past and potential future applications of using ice in construction, a detailed discussion on the mechanical properties of ice is given. A state of the art description on ice-making methods, melt protection, methods and reinforcement of ice with the materials are covered.

This set comprises the following five titles: ICE Manual of Project Management; ICE Manual of Geotechnical Engineering; ICE Manual of Highway Design and Management; ICE Manual of Health and Safety in Construction and ICE Manual of Construction Materials.

This guide has been produced as a result of current best practice and its increasing use in dispute resolution, within the construction industry. It allows the parties to the dispute the freedom to explore ways of settling it with assistance of an independent impartial person - the Mediator.

This open access book presents the most current research results and knowledge from five multidisciplinary themes: Vulnerability of Arctic Environments, Vulnerability of Arctic Societies, Local and Traditional Knowledge, Building Long-term Human Capacity, New Markets for the Arctic, including tourism and safety. The themes are those discussed at the first ever UArctic Congress Science Section, St. Petersburg, Russia, September 2016. The book looks at the Arctic from a holistic perspective; how the environment (both marine and terrestrial) and communities can adapt and manage the changes due to climate change. The chapters provide examples of the state-of-the-art research, bringing together both scientific and local knowledge to form a comprehensive and cohesive volume.

This book analyzes various properties and structures of ice from the point of view to solve problems in civil aviation. The Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, together with large territories of Siberia and the Far East, is a zone, that is insufficiently provided with ground navigation facilities, as well as platforms and airfields for landing aircraft, including in the event of unpredictable situations. However, most of this area, especially in winter, is covered with ice, which can be used to solve this problem. The possibility of using ice sheets for the construction of airfields or the location of ground-based flight support facilities requires careful study and analysis. This book is devoted to the study of the properties and structure of ice, with a view for use in civil aviation to construct ice airfields and the placement of ground-based flight support facilities.

The ICE Conditions continues to be the dominant form of contract for civil engineering, despite the growing importance of the New Engineering Contract. The Seventh Edition of the ICE Conditions, published in 1999, introduced a number of changes, including: incorporating some of the concepts of the Latham Report amending certain provisions of the Sixth Edition which had attracted criticism rectifying conspicuous omissions from the text of earlier editions of the contract correcting small errors and faults from the previous edition modernising certain provisions and terms Brian Eggleston, whose previous book on the ICE Conditions was described as 'likely to become the authoritative reference source for the Sixth Edition', examines the contract clause by clause from a practical and legal viewpoint. There is extensive coverage of case law. Written by an experienced civil engineer and recognized authority on construction contracts, this book is an essential guide.

This book is a collection of historical articles about yachting, with information on design, construction, maintenance, repairing, sailing, and many other related aspects. Carefully selected for a modern readership, this timeless volume will be of considerable utility to anyone with a practical interest in yachting and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of related literature. The articles include: “The Complete Yachtsman—B. Heckstall-Smith and E. Du Boulay”, “Popular Mechanics Build a Boat for Pleasure or Profit – It's Easy to Build your own Boat”, and “The Badminton Magazine of Sports and Pastimes, January 1896—Mrs. Alex Tweedle”. Many old books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on sailing.

Addresses key topic within bridge engineering, from history and aesthetics to design, construction and maintenance issues. This book is suitable for practicing civil and structural engineers in consulting firms and government agencies, bridge contractors, research institutes, and universities and colleges.
