Description and Table of Contents
Description
Based on the author's extensive experience, this book presents recent advances in systems theory and methodology for infrastructure engineering. It highlights modern approaches to the analysis, design, construction, implementation, management, and maintenance of large-scale infrastructure systems and projects, including transportation and water resources. This thoroughly updated and expanded second edition covers contemporary state-space methods for systems modeling and design, user-friendly interactive programs for outcomes research, advanced techniques for control of water supply systems and pipe networks, and Eigenvalue, hydraulic, and discount rate computations.
