Civil Engineering and the Science of Structures

STEM – where we see it, how we use it, and why it matters.Discover how engineering is part of our daily lives with Everyday STEM Engineering – Civil Engineering.Engineering is all around us, from the roads on which we travel to the latest earthquake-proof buildings. It's even in space! Discover how civil and mechanical engineering helps us interact with society, see how engineering is helping to save the environment, and meet the inspirational engineers whose designs make our lives easier, including Roma Agrawal, Reyhan Jamalova, Sarah Guppy and David Aguilar. A "try this at home" section shows readers how to create a building made out of spaghetti, plus much more.With easy-to-understand text written by STEM expert Jenny Jacoby and lots of colourful artworks, photos and diagrams, readers can best explore where we encounter engineering and why it’s even important at all.The Everyday STEM series makes science relevant to tweens. Instead of telling kids STEM is important and is the key to

The Intelligent Systems Series encompasses theoretical studies, design methods, and real-world implementations and applications. It publishes titles in three core sub-topic areas: Intelligent Automati

Examines different types of structures, how civil and structural engineers solve design problems, and what is required to become a civil or structural engineer.

This notable book - formerly titled Durability of Structures - discusses the durability of construction materials in a variety of structures and in diverse environmental conditions. A wealth of inform

Sustainability for Engineering and Science provides a comprehensive overview of sustainability issues related to the built environment and in line with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda. It presents a broad interdisciplinary coverage of topics by instructors from Sapienza University of Rome, covering energy transition, sustainable use of resources and circular economy, sustainable mobility, hydroclimatology and water cycle sustainability, ecology and ecosystem services and the related legal framework. By presenting a compendium of themes in an introductory but technically exact way, this challenges students to recognise their interrelation and demonstrates the need for specialists to work in the overarching context.
