I am studying in Australia as a Civil Engineer, most programs I find, do not have the AS codes integrated into them. If there is any software that is able to design concrete and steel structures, that utilizes AS3600-2009 and AS4100-1998, please do let me know!
BS OHSAS 18001:2007 is the British standard for occupational health and safety (OH&S) management systems. It outlines requirements for achieving a compliant OH&S system to manage both health and safety risks, improve performance and boost stakeholder confidence.
How does it work?
BS OHSAS 18001:2007 outlines what’s needed to achieve a compliant OH&S management system. The standard includes updated regulatory requirements for delegating responsibility, evaluating compliance, and investigating incidents. BS OHSAS 18001:2007 is also aligned with BS EN ISO 14001:2004 environmental management and BS EN ISO 9001:2008 quality management systems, helping you take an integrating approach to improving business performance. If you are new to BS OHSAS 18001, we recommend you also use OHSAS 18002:2008 for guidelines on implementation and achieving compliance.
Who should buy it?
Health and safety managers and auditors
Organizations that want to implement BS OHSAS 18001:2007
Organizations that still have BS OHSAS 18001:1999.
What’s new?
The BS OHSAS 18001:2007 standard replaces the OHSAS 18001:1999 specification. The revised standard places greater emphasis on health as well as safety risks and is more easily aligned with BS EN ISO 14001:2004 and BS EN ISO 9001:2008.

PD 6689:2009. Surface treatments. Guidance on the use of BS EN 12271 and BS EN 12273
Published Document (PD) 6689 gives guidance on the use of BS EN 12271 and BS EN 12273 in the United Kingdom. BS EN 12271 specifies the properties of surface dressing whilst BS EN 12273 specifies the properties of slurry surfacing and microsurfacing.
PD 6689 gives guidance on the performance requirements and control procedures for the installation of both surface treatments as products for the maintenance of roads and other trafficked areas.
PD 6689 does not apply to the following:
• Surface dressings designed by the purchaser; i.e. the recipe approach for which the contractor is instructed as to the rates of spread, chipping size, etc., and therefore is not responsible for performance requirements
• Surface treatments in tunnels where fire regulations apply
• Small areas under 500 m2 which are not contiguous, such as patch repair
• Airfield pavements covered by international regulations (e.g. International Civil Aviation Organization regulations).
BS EN 12271:2006 Surface dressing. Requirements
BS EN 12271 specifies a range of categories for properties of surface dressing to enable users to select appropriate limiting values for a wide range of uses within Europe.
The specifier needs to define BS EN 12271 categories for properties relevant to the particular end-use of the surface dressing. It does not cover surface dressing works carried out to the purchaser’s design, commonly called a recipe specification.
This type of specification can continue to be used, but purchasers are responsible for the performance of the surface dressing provided that the works have been executed correctly.
BS EN 12273:2008 Slurry surfacing. Requirements
BS EN 12273 specifies a range of categories for properties of slurry surfacing and microsurfacing to enable users to select appropriate limiting values for a wide range of uses within Europe.
Specifiers need to define BS EN 12273 categories for properties relevant to the particular end-use of the slurry surfacing and microsurfacing.
This version of PD 6689 replaces the 2006 version, which is withdrawn.

This comprehensive book on the use of microscopy for cement production contains the latest information on preparation of samples, stains and etches, Ono's method, and microscopical interpretation of clinker and raw materials.
Improving quality control, maximizing production, and optimizing clinker processing are just a few of the many uses readers will find for this book. A major feature in this second edition is a chapter on raw materials analysis.Explains how to take and store samples and how to prepare polished sections, thin sections and particle mounts. For stains and etches, lists reagent solutions, reaction type (stain or structural etch), time required, recommended temperature, and concentration.
Discusses and illustrates microscopic characteristics of alite, belite, tricalcium aluminate, ferrite, free lime, periclase, alkali sulfates, and miscellaneous phases, then covers clinker interpretation and misinterpretation. History, explanation, and practice of Ono method for using transmitted, polarized light microscopy in kiln control and cement quality control.

The experience developed by Ian McHarg represents the first attempt to base environmental planning on more objective methods. In particular, he supposed that the real world can be considered as a layer cake and each layer represents a sectoral analysis. This metaphor represents the fundamental of overlay mapping. At the beginning, these principles have been applied only by hand, just considering the degree of darkness, produced by layer transparency, as a negative impact. In the following years, this craftmade approach, has been adopted for data organization in Geographical Information Systems producing analyses with a high level of quality and rigour. Nowadays, great part of studies in environmental planning field have been developed using GIS. The next step relative to the simple use of geographic information in supporting environmental planning is the adoption of spatial simulation models, which can predict the evolution of phenomena. As the use of spatial information has definitely improved the quality of data sets on which basing decision-making process, the use of Geostatistics, spatial simulation and, more generally, geocomputation methods allows the possibility of basing the decision-making process on predicted future scenarios. It is very strange that a discipline such as planning which programs the territory for the future years in great part of cases is not based on simulation models. Sectoral analyses, often based on surveys, are not enough to highlight dynamics of an area. Better knowing urban and environmental changes occurred in the past, it is possible to provide better simulations to predict possible tendencies. The aim of this book is to provide an overview of the main methods and techniques adopted in the field of environmental geocomputation in order to produce a more sustainable development.

Many concrete structures and elements of concrete infrastructure have exceeded their original design lives and are deteriorating to an extent where they are becoming dangerous. The deterioration can be internal or not obvious and therefore only shows up with detailed testing. Non-destructive evaluation of reinforced concrete structures, Volume 1: Deterioration processes and standard test methods reviews the processes of deterioration and classical and standard test methods. Part one discusses deterioration of reinforced concrete and testing problems with chapters on topics such as key issues in the non-destructive testing of concrete structures, when to use non-destructive testing of reinforced concrete structures, deterioration processes in reinforced concrete, modelling ageing and corrosion processes in reinforced concrete structures, components in concrete and their impact on quality, and predicting the service life of reinforced concrete structures. Part two reviews classical and standard testing methods including microscopic examination of deteriorated concrete, the analysis of solid components and their ratios in reinforced concrete structures, the determination of chlorides in concrete structures, and investigating the original water content of reinforced concrete structures. With its distinguished editors and international team of contributors, Non-destructive evaluation of reinforced concrete structures, Volume 1: Deterioration processes and standard test methods will be a standard reference for civil and structural engineers as well as those concerned with making decisions regarding the safety of reinforced concrete structures.
