Title: Softened-membrane model of cracked reinforced concrete considering poisson effect
Author: Ronghua Zhu
Publisher: University of Houston, 2000
Pages: 586
The workshop was designed to address the following questions:
- What are the biggest barriers to the implementation of seismic rehabilitation, including technical, practical, and regulatory challenges?
- Are there gaps in research related to seismic rehabilitation that, if filled, would help address some of these barriers?
- How should research efforts be prioritized to support development of more effective and economical existing building evaluation and rehabilitation techniques?
- Who are possible strategic partners, and how can these partnerships be used to find common objectives and foster greater progress toward earthquake risk reduction in existing buildings?
- What is the future of seismic rehabilitation research and practice?
- What type of guidance and tools would best help achieve this vision?

Moisture Control Handbook: New, Low-Rise Residential Construction
Author: Joseph W Lstiburek | Size: 17.8 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: U.S. Dept. of Commerce | Year: 1991 | pages: 273
In the climate-controlled buildings of today, moisture problems affect not only the useable life expectancy of the structure, but the comfort and health of the occupants. This reference is the first to apply up-to-date moisture control and treatment techniques in a problem/solution format.

STAAD.Pro V8i SELECTseries 3 (20.07.08.20) - New Release
info: STAAD.Pro V8i SELECTseries 3 (20.07.08.20)
STAAD.Pro V8i SELECTseries 3 introduces new enhancements in the analysis and design engine and enhancements to many aspects of STAAD.Pro. This latest version provides enhanced integration opportunities with the other structural applications using the new ISM integration module of StrucLink. Additionally models can be exported to the specialist offshore application SACS using a new OpenSTAAD macro. A range of the most commonly used foundations designed using STAAD.Foundation are now supported with the STAAD.Pro license. Wind loading can be generated to ASCE 07-10. Seismic analysis can make use of a new ‘mass’ reference load case to reduce duplication of mass definitions. Loading options have been enhanced with the addition of a load combination generator to Eurocode 0 again using OpenSTAAD and automatic calculation of self weight loading can be specified for a named group of Surface entities. Major enhancements to the design modules include, Eurocode 3 steel design updated with options to design to the specific requirements of the Belgian and Singaporean National Annexes as well as the design of slender circular hollow sections, user defined sections and support of shear buckling for a range of sections. Indian IS 800:2007 enhanced with the working stress design method. The API 2A design module has been updated to support the latest errata and supplements. The Concrete Design Mode now includes an option for slabs to be checked for reinforcement requirements to the Eurocode 2 EN1992-1-1:2004.
STAAD.Pro V8i SELECTseries 3 is integrated into the free Bentley Structural Dashboard application to act as a launch platform for all the structural products in the Bentley portfolio.
STAAD.Pro V8i is the choice analysis and design software of 47 out of 50 leading US Structural Engineering firms, 46 out of 50 state DOTs and 7 out of the top 10 engineering universities. STAAD.Pro V8i SELECTseries 3 features state-of-the-art user interface, visualization tools, powerful analysis and design engines with advanced finite element and dynamic analysis capabilities. From model generation, analysis and design to visualization and result verification, STAAD.Pro V8i is the professional’s choice for steel, concrete, timber, aluminum and cold-formed steel design of low and high-rise buildings, culverts, petrochemical plants, tunnels, bridges, piles and much more!

Bronson's C++ for Engineers and Scientists makes C++ accessible to first-level engineering students as C++ maintains its stronghold in engineering and scientific communities. The text continues to take a pragmatic approach that incorporates actual engineering and science problems for its applications and examples. Students begin with a foundation in procedural programming, moving into object-oriented concepts in the second half of the text. This new edition also offers new case studies and an expanded selection of examples from a variety of fields including thermodynamics, optics, and fluid mechanics.

Modern Construction Economics - Theory and Application
Author: Gerard De Valence | Size: 3.6 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Taylor & Francis | Year: 2010 | pages: 232 | ISBN: 0415397065
Traditional building economics has primarily been concerned with issues around project appraisal and cost management techniques. On the other hand, modern construction economics has a wider focus with stronger links to mainstream economics, reflecting an increased interest in a range of theoretical issues in construction economics, both at the macro and micro level. In Modern Construction Economics: Theory and Application, a variety of approaches are used to present a coherent vision of synthesis between industry economics and project economics.
Topics covered include:
- developing construction economics as idustry economics
- competition and barriers to entry in construction
- innovation in construction
- theory testing in construction management research
- collusion and corruption in the construction sector.
Including contributions from academics in the UK, Sweden, Hong Kong, and Australia, this is a truly global review of a core issue for the construction industry worldwide. The result is a unique book that will push toward the development of a comprehensive theoretical framework of construction economics. This is a must-read for all serious students of construction economics, and all practitioners looking for a deeper understanding of their industry.

Production of Portland cement is responsible for about seven percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. The pressure to make the production of concrete more sustainable, or "greener", is considerable and increasing. This requires a wholesale shift in processes, materials and methods in the concrete industry. Pure Portland cement will need to be replaced by more complex binary, tertiary or even quaternary binders, including other types of cementitious materials. We can expect an increasing use of high performance concrete, primarily because of its high sustainability and durability. Much more attention will have to be paid to the proper curing of the concrete if we want to improve its life expectancy.
Presenting the latest advances in the science of concrete this book focuses particularly on sustainability, durability, and economy. It explores the potential for increased sustainability in concrete from the initial mixing right through to its behavior in complex structures exposed to different types of loads and aggressive environments.
