Structural resilience in sewer reconstruction, Watanabe, Shizuo Ogawa, Kenichi Shi

Written by an author team with over 75 years of experience, Structural Resilience in Sewer Reconstruction provides engineers with a balanced mixture of theory and practices. Divided into three parts, structural resilience is introduced and different methods and theories are presented in order to assess this in sewerage networks. The authors start with a general overview of resilience and lessons learn from the past. The book then it present a comprehensive review of resilience theories in key fields of study, and introduce major analysis techniques and computational methods for resilience assessment.

Structural Resilience in Sewer Reconstruction covers sewer reconstruction projects carried out in Tokyo, including the reconstruction plan and the development processes for construction methods, renovation materials and some technical inventions. The structural resilience considerations incorporated in various stages of development are discussed in details. This is followed by a discussion of structural analysis and design theories for sewer renovation. Computational examples for assessing structural resilience in the renovated sewer system in Tokyo are shown, and the final chapter summarizes structural resilience theories and outlines the areas for future study.
