Book excerpt: Preface Dear Reader Welcome to 'Bogie Number 2003', This novel is about a story of two generations post independence. A set of college students pursuing Tourism as their main subject, are on an educational tour alongwith their professors, in the year 1976. For the journey a railway bogie has been booked, which was in possession for the entire trip. The students in this trip belong to the younger generation and their professors, railway officials, police excise employees etc. belong to the older generations. The newly found independence was soon converted in to waywardness. Corruption was breading in polities had slowly set in roots in all the section of the society. The second generation has also become a part of it. This novel is about this particular generation which is engulfed in corruption. Kind of this era were pampered like royal kids, quite contrary to several siblings in the older families. The grandparents considered these youngsters, spoilt outrightly. This so called modern parents tool pride in providing material comforts to gets over their own feeling of want, owing to limited resources they had lived with. This novel reveals these two generation of such political gamut where those in power started devouring more than protecting the society. Minting money with fraudulent practices, became a norm. People were more influences by cine stars than the real heroes like Swami Vivekanand, Subhash Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh or Chandra Shekhar Azad to name a few. Good old simplicity and moral values were robbed by greed and pretension. This engrossing story will bring you good impressions and contradictious of the two generations interwoven with subtle humour and satire. I am thankful to Dr. Neelam Verma, a well known poet and a cardiologist for translating my novel. My sincere thanks to Prof. Purabi Panwar, a scholar of English language and a renowned author who has given her views in the 'FOREWORD'. I would like to express my gratitude to Dr. Sanjeev Kumar, the publisher and a literary figure, the owner of 'India Net Books'. Thanks to English writer and scholar Ms. Sunita Chandra for her help at every step. Enjoy your journey in 'Bogie number 2003'

This book was released on 2016-11-17 with total page 946 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maintenance, Monitoring, Safety, Risk and Resilience of Bridges and Bridge Networks contains the lectures and papers presented at the Eighth International Conference on Bridge Maintenance, Safety and Management (IABMAS 2016), held in Foz do Iguaçu, Paraná, Brazil, 26-30 June, 2016. This volume consists of a book of extended abstracts and a DVD containing the full papers of 369 contributions presented at IABMAS 2016, including the T.Y. Lin Lecture, eight Keynote Lectures, and 360 technical papers from 38 countries. The contributions deal with the state-of-the-art as well as emerging concepts and innovative applications related to all main aspects of bridge maintenance, safety, management, resilience and sustainability. Major topics covered include: advanced materials, ageing of bridges, assessment and evaluation, bridge codes, bridge diagnostics, bridge management systems, composites, damage identification, design for durability, deterioration modeling, earthquake and accidental loadings, emerging technologies, fatigue, field testing, financial planning, health monitoring, high performance materials, inspection, life-cycle performance and cost, load models, maintenance strategies, non-destructive testing, optimization strategies, prediction of future traffic demands, rehabilitation, reliability and risk management, repair, replacement, residual service life, resilience, robustness, safety and serviceability, service life prediction, strengthening, structural integrity, and sustainability. This volume provides both an up-to-date overview of the field of bridge engineering as well as significant contributions to the process of making more rational decisions concerning bridge maintenance, safety, serviceability, resilience, sustainability, monitoring, risk-based management, and life-cycle performance using traditional and emerging technologies for the purpose of enhancing the welfare of society. It will serve as a valuable reference to all involved with bridge structure and infrastructure systems, including students, researchers and engineers from all areas of bridge engineering.

Book excerpt: A smart civil structure integrates smart materials, sensors, actuators, signal processors, communication networks, power sources, diagonal strategies, control strategies, repair strategies, and life-cycle management strategies. It should function optimally and safely in its environment and maintain structural integrity during strong winds, severe earthquakes, and other extreme events. This book extends from the fundamentals to the state-of-the-art. It covers the elements of smart civil structures, their integration, and their functions. The elements consist of smart materials, sensors, control devices, signal processors, and communication networks. Integration refers to multi-scale modelling and model updating, multi-type sensor placement, control theory, and collective placement of control devices and sensors. And the functions include structural health monitoring, structural vibration control, structural self-repairing, and structural energy harvesting, with emphasis on their synthesis to form truly smart civil structures. It suits civil engineering students, professionals, and researchers with its blend of principles and practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long span suspension bridges cost billions. In recent decades, structural health monitoring systems have been developed to measure the loading environment and responses of these bridges in order to assess serviceability and safety while tracking the symptoms of operational incidents and potential damage. This helps ensure the bridge functions properly during a long service life and guards against catastrophic failure under extreme events. Although these systems have achieved some success, this cutting-edge technology involves many complex topics that present challenges to students, researchers, and engineers alike. Systematically introducing the fundamentals and outlining the advanced technologies for achieving effective long-term monitoring, Structural Health Monitoring of Long-Span Suspension Bridges covers: The design of structural health monitoring systems Finite element modelling and system identification Highway loading monitoring and effects Railway loading monitoring and effects Temperature monitoring and thermal behaviour Wind monitoring and effects Seismic monitoring and effects SHMS-based rating method for long span bridge inspection and maintenance Structural damage detection and test-bed establishment These are applied in a rigorous case study, using more than ten years' worth of data, to the Tsing Ma suspension bridge in Hong Kong to examine their effectiveness in the operational performance of a real bridge. The Tsing Ma bridge is the world's longest suspension bridge to carry both a highway and railway, and is located in one of the world’s most active typhoon regions. Bridging the gap between theory and practice, this is an ideal reference book for students, researchers, and engineering practitioners.
