Data Science for Civil Engineering


Book Description

This book explains use of data science-based techniques for modeling and providing optimal solutions to complex problems in civil engineering. It discusses civil engineering problems like air, water and land pollution, climate crisis, transportation infrastructures, traffic and travel modes, mobility services, and so forth. Divided into two sections, the first one deals with the basics of data science and essential mathematics while the second section covers pertinent applications in structural and environmental engineering, construction management, and transportation. Features: Details information on essential mathematics required to implement civil engineering applications using data science techniques. Discusses broad background of data science and its fundamentals. Focusses on structural engineering, transportation systems, water resource management, geomatics, and environmental engineering. Includes python programming libraries to solve complex problems. Addresses various real-world applications of data science based civil engineering use cases. This book aims at senior undergraduate students in Civil Engineering and Applied Data Science.




Managing Water for Drought


Book Description

Describes methods for improving water mgmt. during drought developed during a 4-year study. The methods were tested & refined in 4 filed studies in different parts of the country, in which teams of water managers & users worked together to reduce drought impacts. This report explains the procedure for coop. Fed.-state Drought Preparedness Studies, to indicate how these studies relate to the longstanding principles & guidance for Fed. water resources investigations, & to indicate the means of implementing conclusions arrived at in any given region. Tables.
