• The concept of sustainability has been expanding to all areas of economic activity, including construction. The Special Issue "Sustainability in Construction Engineering" provided a possibility for researchers to disseminate their new ideas and findings related to sustainable decisions in construction engineering as a complex discipline that involves designing, planning, construction and management of infrastructures. The topics raised interest of researchers all over the world and the current Special Issue received a great number of submissions from different institutions, countries and continents. In this Special Issue Reprint, 27 selected and peer-reviewed papers contribute to sustainable construction by offering technological, economic, social and environmental benefits through a variety of methodologies and tools, including fundamental decision-making models and methods as well as advanced multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods and techniques that proved to be very suitable for sustainability assessment. The papers are mainly concentrated in five areas: sustainable architecture; construction/reconstruction technology and sustainable construction materials; construction economics, including investments, supply, contracting and costs calculation; infrastructure planning and assessment; project risk perception, analysis and assessment with emphasis on sustainability. Due to its broad scope, the Special Issue Reprint expects to attract a large interest from the research community.

• This book forms the proceedings of the "6th International Symposium on Freight Pipelines", conducted at Columbia, Missouri in May 1989. The biennial symposium, conducted under the auspices of The International Freight Pipeline Society, seeks to advance knowledge and maintain awareness of development in the field of freight pipelines. Delegates worldwide presented papers on slurry, capsule and pneumatic pipelines as well as general papers.

• Offering the fundamental information for successful piping and pipeline engineering, this book pairs real-world practice with the underlying technical principles in materials, design, construction, inspection, testing, and maintenance. It covers codes and standards, design analysis, welding and inspection, corrosion mechanisms, fitness-for-service and failure analysis and an overview of valve selection and application. This volume features the technical basis of piping and pipeline code design rules for normal operating conditions and occasional loads and addresses the fundamental principles of materials, design, fabrication, testing, and corrosion, as well as their effect on system integrity.

• This work is the one and only source of knowledge on the plastic pipe industry - and its application in the liquids and gas fields. It provides detailed and easy-to-use data and formulas for managers, engineers, designers, along with construction and maintenance personnel. It covers the full range of vital topics, from pipe selection and plastic pipe codes and standards, to pipeline purging and drying, to leak detection. It features codes and specs for gas and water transmission, inspection and testing procedures, along with plenty of charts, data sheets, and tables.

• This manual describes successful construction methods and procedures for installing common types of pipes used to transport water-like fluids. ""Inspecting Pipeline Installation"" focuses on the needs of field personnel, constructors, and inspectors. It assumes the pipeline design is complete, decisions on alternatives are resolved, and the designer's concepts are now ready for conversion to a real project. Pipeline construction is complex and demanding and requires the services of skilled contractors and craftsmen. Construction quality control and assurance are strict job requirements. This manual has two main purposes. First, it provides an educational tool for readers with limited experience. Second, it consolidates a wealth of practical pipeline installation information into one volume. This book covers introductory and advanced topics. It provides guidance for those with limited technical backgrounds, as well as those without specific working knowledge of a variety of pipe materials. It is suitable for non-technical personnel needing basic information regarding the pipeline installation.

• This book describes efficient and safe repair operations for pipelines, and develops new methods for the detection and repair of volumetric surface defects in transmission pipelines. It also addresses the physics, mechanics, and applications of advanced materials used for composite repair of corroded pipelines.
• Presenting results obtained in the European Commission?s INNOPIPES FRAMEWORK 7 programme, it develops long-range ultrasonic and phased array technologies for pipeline diagnostics, and explores their interactions with discontinuities and directional properties of ultrasonic antenna array. The book subsequently shares the results of non-destructive testing for different types of materials applications and advanced composite repair systems, and characterizes the mechanical properties by means of fracture methods and non-destructive techniques.

• Oil and gas pipeline infrastructure and the economic, safety, environmental, permitting, construction, and maintenance considerations associated with that infrastructure : hearing before the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, United States Senate, One Hundred Fourteenth Congress, second session, June 14, 2016.

• Concrete pipe has been in use for over 100 years and has not been replaced by any other material - especially for use in drainage pipes. The book touches all aspects of concrete pipes right from inception, design manufacture, laying, maintenance and so on. Spinning technology is fully described from both a practical and theoretical point of view, which is useful to all concrete pipe manufacturers. The book also offers the latest approach to hydraulics, right from determination of surface roughness to selection of appropriate value for 'C' in Hazen & Williams Formula, a case study of 50-year- old pipe to estimate the durability or the life of concrete pipe.

• In this book the authors discuss several approaches to obtaining knowledge concerning the performance of machine learning and data mining algorithms. They show how this knowledge can be reused to select, combine, compose and adapt both algorithms and models to yield faster, more effective solutions to data mining problems, and thus help developers improve their algorithms and also develop learning systems that can improve themselves.
• The new edition is a significant expansion on the original. The authors introduce the recent AutoML approach and clarify its relationship to metalearning, and they explain the automation of the design methods of chains of operations.
