Book Description The Modern Construction Handbook has become a building construction classic and is used as a textbook in many courses. Its systematic approach with chapters on materials, walls, roofs, construction, and the environment offers a clear and efficient orientation. Digital fabrication techniques are included as well (complementing traditional production processes) and presented in an

Book Description The effect of earthquakes on people and their environment as well as methods of reducing these effects is studied in earthquake engineering. It is a new discipline, with most of the developments in the past 30 to 40 years. Most earthquake engineers have a structural or geotechnical engineering background. This book covers geotechnical

Book Description Fundamentals of Structural Geology provides a new framework for the investigation of geological structures by integrating field mapping and mechanical analysis. It emphasizes the observational data, modern mapping technology, principles of continuum mechanics, and the mathematical and computational skills, necessary to map, describe, model, and explain deformation in the Earth’s lithosphere quantitatively. Assuming

Book Description The object of this book is to assist students and professional engineers to design prestressed concrete structures using Eurocodes 1, 2, and 8. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the design of reinforced concrete structures. The book is suitable not only for professional engineers familiar with the prestressed concrete design

Book Description Design of Reinforced Concrete, 10th Edition by Jack McCormac and Russell Brown, introduces the fundamentals of reinforced concrete design in a clear and comprehensive manner and grounded in the basic principles of mechanics of solids. Students build on their understanding of basic mechanics to learn new concepts such as compressive stress and strain

Book Description This book provides guidance for planners, developers, designers, and citizens to create more livable, connected, and vibrant multifamily developments and neighborhoods. Livability is a measure of a community’s quality of life and includes factors such as access to education, employment, entertainment, and recreation. The last few decades have seen a groundswell of interest

Book Description Projects and multi-project programs are vital to all business, industrial, and governmental organizations. They are the vehicles for achieving the strategic goals of every complex organization. How to best manage these projects and programs has been the subject of hundreds of books, articles, conferences, and seminars over the past several decades. This book

Book Description Although not generally appreciated by laypeople, it is not possible to design and construct a structure that will remain safe against failure under all conditions and at all times. The several reasons for a structure being prone to failures include: (a) the strength of the various components of the structure cannot be assessed

Book Description Steel plated structures are important in a variety of marine and land-based applications, including ships, offshore platforms, power and chemical plants, box girder bridges and box girder cranes. The basic strength members in steel plated structures include support members (such as stiffeners and plate girders), plates, stiffened panels/grillages and box girders. During their

Book Description Design Guide – 2020996 pp.; 1st editionBased on the ACI 318-19 code With over 990 pages and 140 worked-out examples, this unique Design Guide assists in the proper application of the provisions in the 2019 edition of Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (ACI 318-19) for cast-in-place concrete buildings with nonprestressed reinforcement.
