Reinforced Concrete Structures : Analysis and Design [Kindle Edition]
Author: David A. Fanella Ph.D. S.E. P.E. | Size: 22 MB | Format:mobi | Publisher: McGraw-Hill Professional | Year: 2010 | pages: 652 | ISBN: B004E9SYGU
A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURE ANALYSIS AND DESIGN Reinforced Concrete Structures explains the underlying principles of reinforced concrete design and covers the analysis, design, and detailing requirements in the 2008 American Concrete Institute (ACI) Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete and Commentary and the 2009 International Code Council (ICC) International Building Code (IBC). This authoritative resource discusses reinforced concrete members and provides techniques for sizing the cross section, calculating the required amount of reinforcement, and detailing the reinforcement. Design procedures and flowcharts guide you through code requirements, and worked-out examples demonstrate the proper application of the design provisions. COVERAGE INCLUDES: Mechanics of reinforced concrete Material properties of concrete and reinforcing steel Considerations for analysis and design of reinforced concrete structures Requirements for strength and serviceability Principles of the strength design method Design and detailing requirements for beams, one-way slabs, two-way slabs, columns, walls, and foundations
Here's a video presentation on Designing for Frame Stability - Nonseismic and Seismic Loading from 2011 NASCC Presentations (May 11-14,2011), for those who want a copy.

Construction Supply Chain Management (Innovation in the Built Environment)>> Edited By Stephen Pryke
Author: Edited By Stephen Pryke | Size: 2.95 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell | Year: March 2009 | pages: 246 | ISBN: ISBN-10: 1405158441 ; ISBN-13: 978-1405158442
1.Description
This book provides a unique appraisal of supply chain management (SCM) concepts alongside lessons from industry, observation and analysis gathered during the first decade of supply chain management strategies in the UK construction industry.
The research from leading international academics has been drawn together with the experience from some of the industry's foremost SCM practitioners to provide both a definition of SCM and an overview of its development as a strategy for managing construction projects.
Key case study material - from Slough Estates to BAA and T5 - illustrates the benefits to the industry of its adoption. Little has been written on the application of SCM to construction and this book provides an agenda for discussion for both the experienced researcher and the industry practitioner by offering a thorough grounding in its principles as well as an illustration of SCM as a methodology for industry.
Construction Supply Chain Management studies makes an important contribution to the debate on innovative systems and their significance in increasingly complex construction projects.
3.Autor Information
Stephen Pryke is Senior Lecturer in Construction and Project Management at the Bartlett School of Graduate Studies, University College London, and Director of the Master’s course there in Project and Enterprise Management.
4.Hallmark Features
challenges received wisdom on supply chain management
pragmatic and accessible
contributes to the debate on innovative systems and their significance in increasingly complex projects

Soil Constitutive Models: Evaluation, Selection, and Calibration brings together papers by nineteen of the most significant constitutive modelers in the world today. The papers in this ASCE Geotechnical Special Publication are focused on existing widely accepted soil constitutive models, from simple to complex, and they present the overall model framework, calibration procedures, and possible implementation. As a guide to the reader, an overview paper discusses features of different classes of soil models, and their advantages and disadvantages. For many models in this book and in the literature, these features are tabulated in a series of tables. The models are then categorized in terms of their completeness with respect to eight different model capabilities. This book has been prepared for soil constitutive modelers and practitioners who want to learn more about the underlying principles, calibration methods and implementation issues of many different proven soil models. The overview paper is especially helpful to those who are not experienced constitutive modelers to understand the different components of soil models and their effect on predictions. This book provides a basis for making the appropriate decision on the selection of a soil constitutive model for any particular geotechnical engineering application.

2.New To This Edition
New Chapter, New Section: This edition contains a new chapter on statistics as well as a new section on straight line graphing.
Revised Exercises: Many of the exercises have been revised to ensure they are scaffolded in difficulty level from easy to challenging.
3.Hallmark Features
Clarity of presentation: This is the feature most mentioned by reviewers, and has obvious benefits to students and instructors.
Technical Applications: The technical applications provide motivation for the student and examples for an instructor who may not have a technical background. Additionally, an Index to Applications aids in finding applications in a particular field, such as electrical technology.
Estimation: Shows a student whether an answer is reasonable or not reasonable. They show common pitfalls for both student and instructor and are flagged and boxed, wherever appropriate.
Formulas: Formulas used in the text are boxed and numbered, and listed in the Appendix as the Summary of Facts and Formulas.
Writing, Projects, Internet: Every chapter concludes with a section of optional enrichment activities. Many students are attracted to the magic and history of mathematics and welcome a guided introduction into this world. These writing questions aim to test and expand a student's knowledge of the material and perhaps explore areas outside of those covered in class while team projects foster "collaborative learning."
