Book excerpt: Excerpt from Engineering Economics AS stated by Lavis, The application of economics to railroad location and construction consists in the proper adjustment and balance between the first cost as exemplified by the straight line of uniform rate of gradient and the first cost Of a line or a series of lines which deviates from it in more or less degree, and the difference in cost of operation due to this deviation (whether lateral or vertical), and the consequent introduction of added resistance and, therefore, added cost of operation. In railroad engineering there are, certainly, quite complicated preliminary economic problems to solve, among which may be mentioned the following.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Engineering Economics of Large Scale Desalting Very little is known of the social and economic effects from adding desalting plants to any country's stock of capital. There is no historical evidence on these effects because the plants now in operation are too small or too recent to have had measurable results. There has been only limited analytical work which can be used to forecast future effects. Yet the results could be complex, widespread, and important. New supplies of water in regions without rainfall would change not only the organization of industry and agriculture there, but also bring the cultures of sparsely populated areas closer to those in more populated and advanced countries of the world. The productivity of labor and capital throughout the economy should be increased as a result both of more and higher quality water. The composition of national output would be changed from adding this type of capital, and water as an intermediate product, rather than some other kind of capital such as those resulting in more highway transport and fertilizer as intermediate products. The question is whether general assessments can be made of these effects, so as to establish some priority for general investment in developing and refining this new technology over the next decade.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Engineering and Contracting, Vol. 52: Devoted to the Economics of Civil Engineering Design and to Methods and Costs of Construction; July December, 1919 The Top or Bituminous Course - This brings us to the bituminous macadam itself, the materials of which are the stone and the bitumen. The broken stone should not be so soft as to crush under the roller so as to fill the voids before the bitumen is ap plied. When this occurs the bitumen does not fill the voids, and from such spots slack of bitumen there may arise two bad results. There may be a wave, due to the surplus of bitumen on top because it could not penetrate down into the stones, or there may be a breaking up of the surface because the stones have nothing to bind them together. The best results are obtained when hard rocks are used, such as trap rocks. There are many localities where it is impossible to get trap rock or stone with a coefficient of wear sufficiently high to obtain. Results required. In such cases bituminous macadam should not be laid. For ordinary traffic such as exists on most of the main through state roads bituminous macadam can be laid economically, provided broken stone has a coefficient of not less than about 15, and provided the bitumen is of suitable quality. The size of the broken stone should be 114 to or 3 in., according to the thick ness of the course. A top course 2 in. Thick may be obtained with the -in. Stone, while a Sin. Course may' be obtained with the larger size. If the traffic is very heavy it is better to lay the thicker course with the larger stones.

Download or read book Engineering Economic Analysis written by Donald G. Newnan and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2002 with total page 694 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Highly regarded by professors and students alike , Engineering Economic Analysis, Eighth Edition, introduces the fundamental concepts of engineering economics. Written for standard engineering economics courses, this bestselling volume by Donald G. Newnan, Jerome P. Lavelle, and Ted G. Eschenbach covers essential time value of money principles for engineering projects and isolates the problems and decisions engineers commonly face. It also examines the tools necessary to properly analyze and solve those problems. Revised in 2000, the eighth edition focuses on the use of spreadsheets, teaching students to use the enormous capabilities of modern software, rather than relying on spreadsheet templates. The majority of the chapters conclude with sections designed to help students create spreadsheets based on the material covered in each chapter. The book's organization gives professors the flexibility to omit spreadsheet instruction without loss of continuity (accommodating shorter courses) or to require that all computations be done with spreadsheets, thus preparing students to use this essential tool for real-life problems.
