This tool was developed with the following important end-users in mind: designers, builders, remodelers, and homeowners. The scope of the document is focused on relatively common moisture issues encountered in one- and two-family dwellings (attached and detached). The featured best practices are intended to address these issues in typical light-frame wood construction using common building systems. The practices deal with direct moisture issues as well as related design concerns that also influence moisture management in a house. Many of the best practices will provide multiple layers of protection against moisture (e.g., roof overhangs + window flashing), which is an intentional approach to providing good long-term performance. Also, given the diversity of housing materials and construction styles in the U.S., the general approach within the guide is to present moisture management ideas that can lead to several viable solutions, rather than specifying a single workable solution that assumes the use of a limited selection of materials and details. In sections where a single detail is provided, additional details or variations may also provide workable solutions. This approach gives designers and builders the flexibility to develop tailored solutions that reflect their material choices, design preferences, and strategies for meeting various code requirements.

Author: Dale P. Bentz W. Jason Weiss | Size: 4.9 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: NIST | Year: 2010 | pages: 94
The American Concrete Institute in 2010 defined internal curing as “supplying water throughout a freshly placed cementitious mixture using reservoirs, via pre-wetted lightweight aggregates, that readily release water as needed for hydration or to replace moisture lost through evaporation or self-desiccation” (American Concrete Institute, 2010). While internal curing has been inadvertently included in many lightweight concretes produced within the past 100 years, it is only within the first decade of the 21st century that this technology has been intentionally incorporated into concrete mixtures at the proportioning stage, using a variety of materials including pre-wetted lightweight aggregates, pre-wetted crushed returned concrete fines, superabsorbent polymers, and pre-wetted wood fibers. This report provides a state-of-the-art review of the subject of internal curing, first addressing its history and theory, and then proceeding to summarize published guidance on implementing internal curing in practice and published research on its influence on the performance properties of concrete. The ongoing exploration of extensions of the internal curing concept that employ the internal reservoirs to contain materials other than water are reviewed. Finally, the critical issue of sustainability is addressed. An extensive internal curing bibliography that is also available over the Internet is included in an appendix. The report is mainly focused on the utilization of pre-wetted lightweight aggregates as the internal reservoirs due to this being the current established practice within the U.S.

Structural Design of Polymer Composites: Eurocomp Design Code and Background Document
Author: J.L. Clarke | Size: 11 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Taylor & Francis | Year: 30 May 1996 | pages: 751 | ISBN: 0419194509
Independent, practical guidance on the structural design of polymer composites is provided for the first time in this book. Structural designers familiar with design of conventional structural materials such as steel and concrete will be able to use it to design a broad range of polymeric composites for structural applications, using glass fibre reinforced plastic materials, components, connections and assemblies.

SOLUTIONS MANUAL for An Introduction to The Finite Element Method (Third Edition)
Author: REDDY J. N. | Size: 3.18 MB | Format:PDF
This solution manual is prepared to aid the instructor in discussing the solutions to assigned problems in Chapters 1 through 14 from the book, An Introduction to the Finite Element Method, Third Edition, McGraw—Hill, New York, 2006. Computer solutions to certain problems of Chapter 8 (see Chapter 13 problems) are also included at the end of Chapter 8. The instructor should make an effort to review the problems before assigning them. This allows the instructor to make comments and suggestions on the approach to be taken and nature of the answers expected. The instructor may wish to generate additional problems from those given in this book, especially when taught time and again from the same book. Suggestions for new problems are also included at pertinent places in this manual.

Please help me.
Now I need some books guiding to architecture, such as how to compose colors in modern architecture, how to form plan concept for building.
If anyone knows about any famous architecture forum (like our forum ) or some websites which allow for downloading arch books, please tell me.
Thanks in advance.
As increasing demands and higher expectations are placed on project managers a need has arisen for an innovative book to enable managers to take on the ever-changing challenges involved in overseeing whole works and dealing with the conflicting needs of the many people involved in a construction project.
Based on the author's observations and extensive experience, this book offers the practitioner or the student reader a new approach to project management in construction and engineering, increasing efficiency and communication at all stages while reducing costs, time and risk. It considers integrated project management, emphasizing the importance of effectively handling external factors in order to best achieve an on-schedule, on-budget result and focuses on good negotiation with clients and skilled team leadership.
