Environmental Engineering

This book integrates mathematical modeling and experimental studies to explore microscale effects on macroscale behavior in civil engineering systems. Topics include AI for monitoring construction personnel, finite element analysis of beam-to-column connections, and functionally graded micropolar beams. It emphasizes the design of tough, durable microstructured materials, often using metallurgical waste, to enhance performance in construction. The book highlights innovative approaches to improving material properties and structural behavior across various civil engineering applications.

This book, a review of the latest trends in the practice of ecological protection and waste treatment, contains articles published by Trans Tech Publications Inc. in the last few years. The edition will be helpful and interesting to a broad audience of specialists in environmental engineering and engineers-technologists.

A comprehensive textbook designed to help undergraduate engineering students integrate sustainability into their practice. It introduces core principles of sustainable development, key tools for measuring and communicating sustainability, and topics such as life cycle assessment, environmental economics, and sustainable infrastructure. The book connects sustainability with the engineering design process, includes real-world case studies, and offers exercises to promote critical thinking and classroom discussion.

Explores sustainable engineering by integrating process intensification, energy analysis, and artificial intelligence to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and promote societal and environmental well-being. It addresses topics such as optimization, energy integration, green engineering, exergy and feasibility analysis, life cycle assessment, circular economy, bioeconomy, machine learning, digital twins, and self-optimized plants.

Introduces a practical methodology for addressing global challenges such as climate change, resource scarcity, and environmental limits. Aimed at engineers, the book focuses on strategies to shift engineered systems away from unsustainable practices. It provides a clear framework for applying Transition Engineering in real-world projects, equipping professionals and students to develop sustainable solutions for organizations, communities, and industries.
