In recent years building failures and the resulting lawsuits and awards for damages have frequently been in the news. The biggest headlines may have been reserved for structural failures and complete collapses, but we should not forget the less newsworthy failures such as leaky roofs, damp walls, dropped foundations and rotted timber. This book gives

This document offers a broad outline of the art of designing earthquake resistant buildings. It describes basic principles guiding the seismic design of structures. These principles govern primarily the: • Conceptual design, and the • Detailing of • Structural elements and • Non-structural elements

Field Manual (FM) 5-428 is primarily a training guide and reference text for engineer personnel using concrete and masonry materials in field construction. The manual has two parts: Concrete (Part One) and Masonry (Part Two). Part One covers the physical characteristics, properties, and ingredients of concrete; mixtures, design and construction of forms; and with reinforced

Structural detailing and scheduling is the link between design and construction. It is the responsibility of the designer to specify design requirements and the responsibility of the detailer to produce and communicate the details in a clear and consistent way to the construction site or fabrication facility. Good detailing has far reaching effects and can

This handbook contains up-to-date information on planning, design, analysis, and Its intention is to provide engineers, construction of engineered concrete structures. architects, contractors, and students of civil engineering and architecture with authorita- tive practical design information. The tremendous progress and changes in all the areas Of concrete engineering in the last two decades seemed to

Concrete as a construction material goes through both physical and chemical changes under extreme elevated temperatures. As one of the most widely used building materials, it is important that both engineers and architects are able to understand and predict its behavior in under extreme heat conditions. Brief and readable, this book provides the tools and

This classic and essential work has been thoroughly revised and updated in line with the requirements of new codes and standards which have been introduced in recent years, including the new Eurocode as well as up-to-date British Standards. It provides a general introduction along with details of analysis and design of a wide range of

Teaching reinforced concrete design, carrying out research relevant to the behavior of reinforced concrete members, as well as designing concrete structures motivated the preparation of this book. The basic objective of this book is to furnish the reader with the basic upderstanding of the mechanics and design of reinforced concrete. The contents of the book
