Flexural-Torsional Buckling of Structures
New Directions in Civil Engineering
Author: N. S. Trahair | Size: 27.88 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: E & FN Spon | Year: July 20, 1993 | pages: 382 | ISBN: ISBN-10: 0849377633 ; ISBN-13: 978-0849377631
Flexural-Torsional Buckling of Structures provides an up-to-date, comprehensive treatment of flexural-torsional buckling and demonstrates how to design against this mode of failure. The author first explains the fundamentals of this type of buckling behavior and then summarizes results that will be of use to designers and researchers in either equation or graphical form. This approach makes the book an ideal text/reference for students in structural engineering as well as for practicing civil engineers, structural engineers, and constructional steel researchers and designers.
The book begins by introducing the modern development of the theory of flexural-torsional buckling through discussions on the general concepts of equilibrium, total potential, virtual work, and buckling. It then continues with in-depth coverage of hand methods for solving buckling problems, the analysis of flexural-torsional buckling using the finite element method, and the buckling of different types of structural elements and frames composed of various elastic materials. Other topics addressed include the design and inelastic buckling of steel members. The book's final chapter considers a collection of special topics.
following review helpful:
A great reference, January 15, 2000
This is a must-have reference for researchers and engineers in the field of structural stability. Particular emphasis is made on Flexural Torsional Buckling of planar frames and arches under in-plane loads.
The book is well organized and extremely well written by one of the renowned experts in the field. Extensive summary of benchmarking solutions including recent ones is given in each chapter. I would rate this book at the same level as the distinguished titles: "Theory of Beam-Column (1977)" by Chen and Atsuta, and "Guide to Stability Design Criteria for Metal Structures (5th edition, 1998)" by Galambos.

Green Roof Systems goes beyond the fashionable green roof movement and provides solid information on building accessible space, often as important public space, over structure. It offers brief coverage of the entire process, including planning and collaboration, and focuses on the technical aspects of these roof systems, their components, and their applications.

Since the early 1980s, researchers and practitioners in the organisational and management fields have presumed a link between organisational, or corporate, culture and organisational performance. Whilst many believe this exists, other authors have been critical of the validity of such studies. Part of this doubt stems from a reliance on measures of organisational performance that are based purely on financial measures of business growth.
Using the construction industry as the subject of his research, Vaughan Coffey traces the development of the literature on organisational culture and business effectiveness and investigates the culture-performance link using a new and highly objective measure of company performance and an evaluation of organisational culture, which is largely behaviourally-based. Providing a theoretical contribution to the field, this work shows that various cultural traits appear to be closely linked to objectively measured organisational effectiveness.
This book will be valuable to professionals and researchers in the fields of management and public policy. It indicates directions for construction companies to develop and change, and in doing so strengthen their chances of remaining strong when opportunities for work might deplete and only the most successful companies will be able to survive.
Review
'...a timely and welcome contribution to the drive for better understanding of culture in construction and its importance for management of both firms and projects.' - Construction Management and Economics
About the Author
Vaughan Coffey is Lecturer in Construction and Project Management in the School of Urban Development at Queensland University of Technology, Australia, and was formerly a senior manager in the Construction and Development Division of the Hong Kong Housing Department, with special interests in organisational culture, construction quality issues and performance monitoring.

SPON'S MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL SERVICES PRICE BOOK continues to be the most comprehensive and best annual services engineering price book currently available, providing detailed pricing information across the full range of mechanical and electrical services, together with higher-level costs for a diverse range of systems and different building applications.
This yearβs book contains reworked information on energy, and additional engineering design details, plus more design schematics for M&E services. Overall, the market continues to be depressed, but the detailed picture is more complex. Margins are being squeezed heavily but steel and copper prices are robust and labour rates are driven by agreements.
All the standard features you have come to expect from SPON'S MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL SERVICES PRICE BOOK are also included, considered essential for todayβs services cost professional:
detailed materials prices, labour constants, labour costs and measured work prices for mechanical and electrical works, from above ground drainage to automatic transfer switches, and circuit breakers to sprinkler systems
an extensive Approximate Estimating section for quick, rule-of-thumb pricing of mechanical or electrical installations, together with elemental services costs for different types and standard of buildings
full details of wage rates, daywork and cost indices on a national and Central London basis.
an overhauled index and guidance notes
produce estimate and tender documents
generate priced or unpriced schedules
adjust rates and data and enter rogue items
export schedules into Excel
carry out an index search.
This year, for the first time, the resources include a versatile and powerful ebook.
