Here is the definitive resource used worldwide for the design of cable-stayed bridges. This edition includes several significant editions, including modified bending and fatigue testing provisions, new capacity reduction factors, high seismic potential and demand, and limited conditions of extradosed bridges, and addresses the minimum requirements for stay anchor pipes.
The fifth edition still follows the Load and Resistance Factor Design format of the fourth edition. Updates include material supply requirements, wind provisions that explicitly address cable provisions, clarified provisions for cable loss conditions, and updates for cable installation reflecting current in-state assembly methods, and revisions in Chapter 7 incorporate the findings of a National Cooperative Highway Research Program synthesis on cable maintenance.

Drawing on the authors' combined experience of more than 30 years, Advanced Onsite Wastewater Systems Technologies explores use of these technologies on a wide-scale basis to solve the problems associated with conventional septic tank and drain field systems. The authors discuss a regulatory and management infrastructure for ensuring long-term, reliable applications of onsite systems for wastewater management. The book and its supporting web-site (advancedonsitesystems.com) are an information catalog for advanced onsite wastewater technologies. This combination offers tools that will help onsite wastewater professionals communicate effectively with each other and their clients, thus minimizing the confusion and misunderstandings often related to the use of advanced onsite systems.
The authors provide an overview of advanced onsite systems technologies and compare them to conventional onsite systems and centralized wastewater systems. They present key concepts for decentralized wastewater solutions and information on advanced onsite wastewater treatment and effluent dispersal technologies currently available. The book delineates a management, regulatory, and planning framework for adopting the use of advanced onsite systems technologies as alternatives to conventional septic systems and centralized collection and treatment plants. It concludes with an exploration of the future of advanced onsite systems technologies and their uses.
A toolbox for service professionals, regulators, and community planners, the book highlights objective methods to assess the performance of technologies and examples of real-world applications. The authors detail a solution-driven and performance-based regulatory framework for the use of advanced onsite systems as a true alternative to centralized collection and treatment plants and offer guidance on how to plan for future growth with such systems. They answer the age-old question of "what to do when the land doesn't perc and sewer isn't coming?"

Does anyone have access to this paper. It would be of use at least for me.

Earthquake Resistant Engineering Structures VIII contains papers presented at the eighth conference in a biennial series on the subject (ERES) first held in 1996 and organized by the Wessex Institute of Technology. The 2011 meeting was held in Tuscany, a region rich in the type of cultural and architectural heritage that needs to be protected against earthquakes.
Protecting the built environment in earthquake-prone regions involves not only the optimal design and construction of new facilities, but also the upgrading and rehabilitation of existing structures, including historical buildings. The type of highly specialized retrofitting employed to protect Tuscany s heritage, as well as other regions of the world, is an important area of research and appropriate to the conference objective of designing better earthquake resistant buildings. Major earthquakes and associated effects such as tsunamis continue to highlight the need to carry out more research on the topics covered by the conference. The problems will intensify as population pressure results in more buildings in regions of high seismic vulnerability. In order to design earthquake resistant structures, it is necessary to better understand these phenomena.
The Conference addressed these problems and continued to expand on the development of previous meetings in the series. Papers presented at ERES are an invaluable record of the state of the art on the topic.
