In recent decades, material development in response to the call for more durable infrastructures has led to many exciting advancements. The purpose of this book is to provide an up-to-date review of several emerging infrastructure materials that may have a significant impact on repair and/or new construction. The two areas that take high priority in this book are the materials design concept that has led to the creation of advanced composites. Such design methodology has been made possible by several key advancements in materials science and mechanics. Secondly each chapter will be concluded w

Macro-engineering involves the large-scale modification and manipulation of natural systems for the benefit of mankind. The primary goals of some Earth-based macroprojects described in this book are power production, land reclamation, food production, climate change, environment, water, transport and coastal protection. Other Earth or space projects considered here have a more futuristic ring, but our present-day technical skill makes their realization possible. Earth-based macroprojects usually combine different aspects and aims. They have a major impact on the ecology of a region and the inhabitants' means of living (like tourism, fishing, shipping). Its effects may be felt worldwide, like the rise in global sea level after the damming and evaporation of large ocean gulfs for power production, or the change in climate following the regional reduction of solar insolation. Audience: This book will be of interest to researchers involved in macroprojects and students of Natural Sciences and Engineering.

Exercises in Environmental Physics covers the essential topics in university courses in environmental physics including: -Energy and the environment -Fluid mechanics -Evapotranspiration, soil physics and groundwater hydrology -Pollution -Ocean and atmospheric physics -The planet in space This is the first book specifically devoted to exercises on the application of physics to describe the environment including the human impact. It is a valuable tool for students to develop skills in the manipulation of physical concepts and methods while learning environmental science. The exercises are drawn from the author's teaching experience and the need for stimulating practice problems in various environmental physics courses. A chapter on mathematical methods used in the book supplements the material.
