Wind Effects on Structures
Fundamentals and Applications to Design - Volume 1
Author: Emil Simiu, Robert H. Scanlan | Format:PDF | Publisher: John Wiley | Year: 1996 | pages: 688 | ISBN: 0471121576, 9780471121572
From the Publisher
Recognized as the sole source of detailed information on the design of wind resistant structures, this edition reflects the numerous changes that have occurred during the past decade. Revised, updated, and augmented, it includes the latest information on such topics as windstorm damage and insurance, hurricane micrometeorology, empirical aeroelastic models, progress and limitations in wind tunnel modeling, designing low-rise buildings, and behavior of roofing. A new chapter has been added on standards which includes a useful reference to a recently issued diskette containing an interactive computer version of the ASCE 7-95 Standard provisions for wind loads.
Product Description
The brand-new edition—with complete, up-to-date coverage of new methods and standards for the construction of wind-resistant structures
Long recognized as the sole source of detailed information on the design of wind-resistant structures, Wind Effects on Structures equips designers and engineers with crucial knowledge concerning the atmosphere, the forces placed on a structure by the wind environment, and the behavior of structures under the action of these forces. Revised, updated, and augmented with material on new building codes, engineering practices, and technology, this latest edition is the most comprehensive and up-to-the-minute reference available on this important subject. New features include:
Special material on the design of low-rise buildings, including building code provisions for wind loads on these structures
Technical information on hurricane micrometeorology, computational fluid dynamics, empirical aerolastic models, and many other areas
Easy-to-use software package for the automatic calculation of wind loads in accordance with ASCE Standard 7-95, and much more
The damage done by recent hurricanes such as Andrew and Iniki has inspired a number of significant developments in the wind engineering field, from increased use of technology to predict structural loading to the creation of more stringent building codes. Long recognized as the sole source of detailed information on the design of wind-resistant structures, Wind Effects on Structures has now been fully revised to address these important changes—providing engineers with completely up-to-date methods and standards for the construction of wind-resistant structures.
Divided into sections on the atmosphere, wind loads, and their effects on structures, the text now incorporates the latest information on the design of low-rise buildings, revised building code standards, and suspended-span structures, plus new material on an extensive range of technical subjects—including across-wind and torsional effects on tall structures, damping of flexible buildings, and progress in wind tunnel modeling. Combining fundamental concepts with real-world applications, this new edition features an easy-to-use software package that enables fast and accurate calculation of wind loads in line with ASCE Standard 7-95 provisions.
Thoroughly updated, revised, and amended, Wind Effects on Structures provides the invaluable guidance designers and engineers need to assure the adequate structural safety and serviceability of virtually any wind-sensitive project.

Presenting time-tested standard as well as reliable emerging knowledge on threaded fasteners and joints, this book covers how to select parts and materials, predict behavior, control assembly processes, and solve on-the-job problems. It examines key issues affecting bolting in the automotive, pressure vessel, petrochemical, aerospace, and structural steel industries. The editors have successfully created a useful rather than scholarly handbook with chapters written in a straightforward, how-to-do-it manner. Theory is discussed only when necessary and the handbook's logical organization and thorough index enhances its usefulness.

Limit State Design Of Reinforced Concrete by P. C. Varghese
Author: P C varghese | Size: 22 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: prentice hall | Year: 1999 | pages: 566 | ISBN: 8120320395
Book Summary of Limit State Design Of Reinforced Concrete
This substantially revised second edition takes into account the provisions of the revised Indian Code of practice for Plain and Reinforced Concrete IS 456 : 2000. It also provides additional data on detailing of steel to make the book more useful to practicing engineers. The chapter on Limit State of Durability for Environment has been completely revised and the new provisions of the code such as those for design for shear in reinforced concrete, rules for shearing main steel in slabs, lateral steel in columns, and stirrups in beams have been explained in detail in the new edition.
This comprehensive and systematically organized book is intended for undergraduate students of Civil Engineering, covering the first course on Reinforced Concrete Design and as a reference for the practicing engineers. Besides covering IS 456 : 2000, the book also deals with the British and US Codes. Advanced topics of IS 456 : 2000 have been discussed in the companion volume Advanced Reinforced Concrete Design (also published by Prentice-Hall of India). The two books together cover all the topics in IS 456 : 2000 and many other topics which are so important in modern methods of design of reinforced concrete.

I wish to go into business of stone quarrying and processing; into aggregates to be used as construction material.
I would be grateful if anyone could give me an indication (the place to source the plants and machinery) and or estimate for a complete used machine as to go into this quarrying operation. I do not have much money as such would like to start with as cheap as possible used machine as to buy new heavy ones when the quarry had generated more money. The quarry is to be established in the northern part of Nigeria (Kano precisely).
I look forward to your uttermost response soonest.
Regards
Teddy
National success and well-being are created, not inherited. They do not arise from country’s property, its interest rates or its currency’s value. A nation’s competitiveness depends upon the capacity of its industries to innovate and implement new products and services, improve their performance and, particularly, manage the continuous change.
Now traditional construction is transforming into integrated service business where new skills and solutions are essential. It is likely that the most important innovations and their practical applications shall be results of joint efforts by different experts. Optimum results and spin-offs can be achieved by carefully focused research and development efforts, but these will gain only a highly isolated impact. The main opportunity and challenge for us are the common and integrated research and development agendas and related major efforts. National organisations that are funding research and development, and, more widely the Commission of the European Communities have turned their attention towards integrated research and development projects. These efforts are more challenging and more ambitious. They require new work methods and effective interaction and communication between experts involved. Joining people and combining their forces with effective means are getting increasingly important.
The background of the "The Transformation of the Industry" conference is that kind of huge effort having a highly ambitious aim to create new business lines arising from the industrial transformation we are facing at the moment. This effort is ManuBuild Integated Project. It is a four year project (2005-2008) and a part of European Union 6th Framework for research and development (EU FP6 NMP 515825-2). It is our vision that ...

Concerned with the fundamental concepts and methods of fracture mechanics and micromechanics, Fracture Mechanics primarily focuses on the mechanical description of fracture process; however, material specific aspects are also discussed. The presentation of continuum mechanical and phenomenological foundations is followed by an introduction into classical failure hypotheses. A major part of the book is devoted to linear elastic and elastic-plastic fracture mechanics. Further subjects are creep fracture, dynamic fracture mechanics, damage mechanics, probabilistic fracture mechanics, failure of thin films and fracture of piezoelectric materials. The book also contains an extensive introduction into micromechanics. Self-contained and well-illustrated, this text serves as a graduate-level text and reference.
