IDC Books - Technical Training that Works
Civil Engineering
Civil engineers design and construct our infrastructure. If it’s on the ground, civil and structural engineers are involved in the design and construction stages. Civil engineers will also plan, design, construct, maintain and recycle the structures in communities such as dams, bridges, roads, buildings, pipelines, railways and tunnels.
Civil and structural engineering short courses by IDC Video provide professional development for practicing engineers and technicians, and offer learning opportunities for technical personnel working in a field other than civil and structural engineering. Course outcomes cover the above listed subjects above and more.
SE-E - Best Practice in Sewage and Effluent Treatment Technologies
This manual has tips and tricks to help you to install an effective Sewage and Effluent Treatment system.
$139.94 Ex Tax: $127.22
CT-E - Designing, Specifying and Constructing with Modern Concrete
This manual deals with the manufacture, design and maintenance of concrete, including details about ingredients and how quality and quantity affects the final product. Other areas covered are: concrete specifications standards and codes concepts such as ready-mix, precast and prestressed concrete and their applications suggestions for best practice for protection and maintenance of concrete.

HW-E - Hazardous Waste Management and Pollution Prevention
This manual provides an excellent introduction to mastering the management of hazardous waste materials as well as preventing contamination of the environment. Other areas covered are: legal and regulatory aspects of pollution handling hazardous waste materials within your plant reducing the amount of hazardous waste produced ways to save money through preventing personal injury and preventing or limiting the effects of accidental pollution.
$139.94 Ex Tax: $127.22
SD-E - Structural Design for Non-Structural Engineers
This manual will help you gain the basic knowledge of structural engineering including principles of analysis of structures and their application, behavior of materials under loading, selection of construction materials and design fundamentals for RCC and steel structures.
The emphasis has been kept on the determination of the nature and amount of stress developed under loads, and the way structures offer resistance to it. Being the most widely used construction materials, RCC and steel have been covered in detail, though masonry and timber have been described briefly as well.
$139.94 Ex Tax: $127.22
TN-E - Transportation Planning and Management
This manual will help you anticipate future traffic problems of a transportation network, develop intelligent transportation systems as well as efficient parking systems, and understand the concepts of traffic calming and forecasts. You will be able to put this knowledge into practice to manage traffic in your small neighborhood/complex/construction site.

Apr 18, 2019
It survived the French Revolution and two world wars. The landmark is part of Paris’ soul, embodying the city’s history and partially shaping its identity through its religious and architectural significance. The Notre Dame de Paris, a jewel in the French crown, and a marvel of civil engineering, has suffered extensive damage due to fire.The stunning monument has stood for[…] -
Britam Tower in Kenya awarded best in mechanical and electrical engineering
Apr 16, 2019
Taking a high-rise structure from concept to completion is no easy task — structural and geotechnical engineers usually face an array of design-related challenges. From vulnerability, to seismic activity, to understanding the risks of underlying soils, designing a tall building is a feat within itself.However, engineers in Kenya can rejoice as The Britam Tower in Nairobi has been named as[…] -
Reducing carbon emissions with electric aircraft
Apr 15, 2019
Scientists believe if we’re going to combat climate change, we need to electrify all forms of transport. In fact, according to the International Civil Aviation Organization, the demand for air travel by 2050 could increase aviation sector greenhouse gases by 700 per cent compared to emissions in 2005.As it stands, aviation is responsible for two percent of the world’s carbon[…] -
Are flying cars the future of sustainable transport?
Apr 15, 2019
Flying cars could be the key to lowering carbon emissions through sustainable transport in the future, according to a new study.The University of Michigan has found while flying cars — which are technically called electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, or VTOLs — are not justifiable for short trips, they have a niche role in sustainable transport for trips further[…]
