Fundamentals of Sustainability in Civil Engineering PDF

Features

Provides fundamentals of environmental, structural, geotechnical, and transportation engineering as related to the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam.

Explains how to quantify sustainable practice results for different fields.

Specifically tailored to a 16-week/one-semester course.

Presents numerous practical case studies throughout.

Summary

This book will provide a foundation to understand the development of sustainability in civil engineering, and tools to address the three pillars of sustainability: economics, environment, and society. It will also include case studies in the four major areas of civil engineering: environmental, structural, geotechnical, and transportation, and utilize the concepts found on the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam. It is intended for upper-level civil engineering sustainability courses. In addition, practical report writing and presentation giving will be proposed as evaluation metrics versus standard numerical questions and exam-based evaluations found in most civil engineering courses.
