Civil And Environmental Systems Engineering

From the Publisher: Civil engineering systems analysis describes the art and science of public-sector engineering management through a comprehensive presentation of proven model building methods. Modern engineering optimization and engineering economics are among the most valuable tools of effective civil and environmental engineering managers, and this book covers both within a framework that is both comprehensive and rigorous. Civil and Environmental Systems Engineering is a text designed not only to provide proficiency with these tools, but also to furnish an introduction to numerous application areas where these methodologies have found successful use. Indeed, an ever increasing array of complex civil and environmental engineering problems continue to be addressed using these powerful techniques: cost sharing in the planning of regional environmental facilities; design and operation of reservoir systems; highway and transportation network design, planning and management; facilities siting and resource allocation; river and watershed management; structural and geometric design; personnel and resource scheduling; project operations management; hazardous materials handling and routing; bidding and financial strategy development; civil infrastructure evaluation and planning; and many others.
