The authors are delighted to introduce this pavement design book to civil engineering students. It focuses on the most recent invention in pavement design, the pavement mechanistic-empirical (ME) design approach. Practical design examples are included in this textbook to help students understand the pavement mechanics and models used in this new approach. Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam-style questions are also included so that this book can be helpful for the FE examination as well. The authors believe that this text will be valuable for understanding pavement engineering.

Continuing the tradition of the best-selling Getting to Know series, Getting to Know ArcGIS Pro 2.6 teaches new and existing GIS users how to get started solving problems using ArcGIS Pro. Using ArcGIS Pro for these tasks allows you to understand complex data with the leading GIS software that many businesses and organizations use every day.

Earth structures together with foundation structures and underground structures fall under the more general subject matter of geotechnical structures. Under the term geotechnical structures earth structures are the oldest matter of concern, but rather paradoxically in comparison to foundation structures (foundation engineering) and to underground structures (tunnelling), the first monograph covering all aspects of earth structures was written only one decade ago (Vaníček and Vaníček, 2008). Briefly stated, we can use the following categorical explication for the division of geotechnical structures:

• Construction with ground for earth structures, where ground (soil) is the natural and most used construction material;
• Construction on the ground for foundation structures;
• Construction in the ground for underground structures.

It's a comprehensive and detailed reference guide on the integrity and safety of oil and gas pipelines, both onshore and offshore.

• Covers a wide variety of topics, including design, pipe manufacture, pipeline welding, human factors, residual stresses, mechanical damage, fracture and corrosion, protection, inspection and monitoring, pipeline cleaning, direct assessment, repair, risk management, and abandonment.
• Links modern and vintage practices to help integrity engineers better understand their system and apply up-to-date technology to older infrastructure.
• Includes case histories with examples of solutions to complex problems related to pipeline integrity.
• Includes chapters on stress-based and strain-based design, the latter being a novel type of design that has only recently been investigated by designer firms and regulators.
• Provides information to help those who are responsible to establish procedures for ensuring pipeline integrity and safety.

Reservoir Simulation: Machine Learning and Modeling helps the engineer step into the current and most popular advances in reservoir simulation, learning from current experiments and speeding up potential collaboration opportunities in research and technology. This reference explains common terminology, concepts, and equations through multiple figures and rigorous derivations, better preparing the engineer for the next step forward in a modeling project and avoid repeating existing progress. Well-designed exercises, case studies and numerical examples give the engineer a faster start on advancing their own cases. Both computational methods and engineering cases are explained, bridging the opportunities between computational science and petroleum engineering. This book delivers a critical reference for today’s petroleum and reservoir engineer to optimize more complex developments.

This book is the most comprehensive book you will find on AutoCAD 2021 – 2D Drafting. Covering all of the 2D concepts, it uses both metric and imperial units to illustrate the myriad drawing and editing tools for this popular application. Use the companion files to set up drawing exercises and projects and to see all of the book’s figures in color (Files also available for downloading with Amazon order number by writing to the publisher at info@merclearning.com). AutoCAD 2021 Beginning and Intermediate includes over 100 "mini-workshops” that complete small projects from concept through actual plotting. Solving all of these workshops will simulate the creation of three projects (architectural and mechanical) from beginning to end, without overlooking any of the basic commands and functions in AutoCAD 2021.

Engineering Economic Analysis offers comprehensive coverage of financial and economic decision making for engineers, with an emphasis on problem solving, life-cycle costs, and the time value of money. The authors' clear, accessible writing, emphasis on practical applications, and relevant contemporary examples have made this text a perennial bestseller. With its logical organization and extensive ancillary package, Engineering Economic Analysis is widely regarded as a highly effective tool for teaching and learning. This 14th edition includes crucial updates to cover new US tax laws and software that will algorithmically generate and automatically grade homework problems.
