Dear friends,
I need the paper
"Axially loaded vertical piles and pile groups in layered soil ".
nternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics
Volume 15, Issue 7, pages 497–511, July 1991
DOI: 10.1002/nag.1610150704
J. T. Chin, H. G. Poulos,
Abstract
A numerical method is described for the analysis of axially loaded vertical piles and pile groups embedded in layered soil. The ‘hybrid’ approach is utilized whereby the single-pile response is represented by load-transfer (t–z) curves while the pile–soil–pile interaction is obtained accurately using the analytical solutions of Chan et al. for a two-layered system and in an approximate manner for a Gibson soil. For the single-pile response a simple rational procedure is suggested for the determination of the averaged rm value (radial distance at which the shear stress becomes negligible). Solutions are presented and compared with the elastic continuum solutions for such soil profiles. Finally, comparisons with actual field measurements of vertical piles and pile groups embedded in such a soil profile show favourable agreement.
The Definitive Guide to Designing Reinforced Masonry Structures
Fully updated to the 2009 International Building Code (2009 IBC) and the 2008 Masonry Standards Joint Committee (MSJC-08), Design of Reinforced Masonry Structures, second edition, presents the latest methods for designing strong, safe, and economical structures with reinforced masonry. The book is packed with more than 425 illustrations and a wealth of new, detailed examples.
This state-of-the-art guide features strength design philosophy for reinforced masonry structures based on ASCE 7-05 design loads for wind and seismic design. Written by an internationally acclaimed author, this essential professional tool takes you step-by-step through the art, science, and engineering of reinforced masonry structures.
COVERAGE INCLUDES:
Masonry units and their applications
Materials of masonry construction
Flexural analysis and design
Columns
Walls under gravity and transverse loads
Shear walls
Retaining and subterranean walls
General design and construction considerations
Anchorage to masonry
Design aids and tables

TitlePrestressed Beam Integral Bridges
AuthorHambly, DrE.C.; Nicholson, B
DateJan 1, 1991
Stock code31999
Abstract Continuous structures are favoured for multispan bridges in order to reduce maintenance problems relating to joints. This publication is intended for practising bridge designers and illustrates a design method for integral and continuous bridge decks using precast prestressed concrete beams.

Author: Walter Isaacson | Size: 6 MB | Format:mobi | Publisher: Simon & Schuster | Year: 2011 | ISBN: 978-1451648539
Based on more than forty interviews with Jobs conducted over two years—as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues—Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing.
