Design and Operation of Civil and Environmental Engineering Systems by Charles R

Description: Design and Operation of Civil and Environmental Engineering Systems by Charles ReVelle, Arthur E. McGarity Within civil and environmental engineering, researchers are making increased use of the tools of operations research in solving problems. These tools include optimization, simulation, game theory, and other mathematical techniques. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The tools of operations research (OR)--optimization, simulation, game theory, and others--are increasingly applied to the entire range of problems encountered by civil and environmental engineers. In this groundbreaking text/reference, the worlds leading experts describe sophisticated OR opplications across the spectrum of environmental and civil engineering specialties, addressing problems encountered in both operation and design. Back Cover Timely, authoritative coverage of sophisticated operations-research applications The tools of operations research (OR)--optimization, simulation, game theory, and others--are increasingly applied to the entire range of problems encountered by civil and environmental engineers. In this groundbreaking text/reference, the worlds leading experts describe sophisticated OR applications across the spectrum of environmental and civil engineering specialties, addressing problems encountered in both operation and design. Topics covered include: * Water resources and surface water systems * Water and air quality management * Groundwater systems * Solid and hazardous waste management * Urban and public transportation * Airline operations research * Environmental planning for electrical utilities * Multiobjective methods * Cost allocations in water resources * Siting regional environmental facilities * Effluent charges and transferable discharge permits * Applying optimization techniques to structural design Supplemented with hundreds of helpful charts, tables, and illustrations, Design and Operation of Civil and Environmental Engineering Systems is an important resource for civil and environmental engineers and engineering consultants and an accessible textbook for advanced courses in these disciplines.
