A Guide to the Reservoirs Act 1975, 2nd edition

Defra, ICE

Description: A Guide to the Reservoirs Act 1975 provides expert guidance on the application of the Reservoirs Act 1975, reflecting the current views and practices of the dam engineering profession. This fully updated second edition incorporates the latest amendments to the Flood and Water Management Act, reflecting a more risk-based approach to reservoir regulation. These approaches include reducing the capacity at which a reservoir will be regulated from 25,000m

3 to 10,000m

3, and ensuring that only these reservoirs assessed as a higher risk

are subject to regulation.

CESMM4: Examples

ICE

Description: This book provides a comprehensive range of examples of diagrams and bills of quantities based on Section 8, works classification, of CESMM4. The example bill pages illustrate the application of the rules of measurement in all classes of CESMM4, and comparing the different approaches required with specific contracts (e.g. NEC, FIDIC). The diagrams include some helpful short-cuts for engineers and surveyors preparing bills of quantities. This edition has been published in a larger format to enable the diagrams to be more easily interpreted. CESMM4: Examples will undoubtedly continue the success of previous editions in providing quick easy reference examples of the usage of CESMM4.

Dams: Engineering in a Social and

Environmental Context

Edited by British Dam Society

Description: This book contains the proceedings of the 17th Biennial Conference of the British Dam Society, Dams: Engineering in a Social and Environmental Context. It covers practical aspects which are directly relevant to all who work in the design, construction or management of dams and reservoirs, both in the UK and abroad. Several papers cover the construction of new dams, while many address the issues that arise from the nation’s ageing portfolio of existing dams, where spillway improvements or other works may be needed to comply with current standards or to provide operational improvements. The environmental impacts of all such works must be fully considered, and examples are given where habitat and amenity provision have been integral components of projects. The UK legislative and policy framework is covered, with comparisons to design standards from abroad. Other papers examine aspects of the risks that dams pose to the public, and how to analyse and minimise such risks.

Contents:

• The legislative and policy framework

within which dam professionals work

• Geotechnical aspects of dam design,

construction and maintenance

• Risk-related aspects of reservoirs and

their operation

• Construction of new dams in the UK

and overseas

• The environmental aspects of dam

construction and repair

• Incidents and remedial works to

existing dams

Readership:

• Coastal and estuary

managers/project manager

• Marine/Harbour/Hydraulic engineers

• Consulting engineers specialising in

coastal management

Earthworks: A guide, 2nd edition

Paul Nowak

Atkins, UK

Description: Nothing can be built without some excavation and transfer of soil (or rock) from one part of a site to another and this makes earthworks the most common product of civil engineering operations. Although normally seen as major structures, such as earth fill dams or large highways or railway embankments, the majority of earthworks are connected with minor civil works and building construction. Whatever the type of work, the principles are the same. Earthworks: a guide accumulates information on topics that are essential to earthworks engineering. After a brief historical review, Earthworks: a guide establishes the essential theoretical background to the compaction process and describes some commonly available fills, including industrial materials, both from the construction and the in-service viewpoints. The guide continues with a description of design construction control and monitoring procedures for earth fills, noting that design and control in earthworks are intimately linked. This second edition is updated for changes to standards, legislation and specifications, as well as technological advances.

Contents:

1. Earthworks: an historical perspective

2. The compaction process

3. Some characteristics of cohesive fill

4. Some characteristics of granular and

weak rock fill

5. Some characteristics of other natural

deposits

6. Some properties of industrial fill

7. Earthworks specifications

8. Investigations for earthworks

9. Design construction control and

monitoring

10. Excavation

11. Placement and compaction of fill

12. Cuts

13. Embankments

14. Site safety considerations
