Many books have covered the topics of architecture, materials and technology. 'New Architecture and Technology' is the first to explore the interrelation between these three subjects. It illustrates the impact of modern technology and materials on architecture.
The book explores the technical progress of building showing how developments, both past and present, are influenced by design methods. It provides a survey of contemporary architecture, as affected by construction technology. It also explores aspects of building technology within the context of general industrial, social and economic developments. The reader will acquire a vocabulary covering the entire range of structure types and learn a new approach to understanding the development of design.
* Understand the relationship between technology and architecture
* Gain an insight into the evolution of architectural structures
* Learn about the design process behind well-known contemporary buildings as input to your future designs

Simplified design of building structures-jason ambrose
Author: Jason Ambrose | Size: 30 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: wiley and sons | Year: 1979 | pages: 267
This book is intended to fill a gap that has existed in the technical literature in the area of structural design for buildings. While the
subject has usually been well covered with regard to its many topics in an incremental way, there have been relatively few books written to explain the overall process of designing a building structure ;beginning with the architect's design drawings and ending with aset of structural plans and details. That is, of course, precisely what the structural designer does in the majority of building design cases,and yet the process has seldom been illustrated. The attempts to do so have usually consisted of examples of the designer's calculations,with little explanation of the general process or of the relations between the architectural and structural design, and with a minimum of graphic illustration

INTRODUCTION
Bridges play an important role in linking different parts of highway networks, and therefore have a great impact on the capacities of such networks. Bridges are massive structures that require large amounts of materials, skilled labor, and heavy machinery for their construction. Therefore, the decision regarding the most convenient construction system should be based on careful evaluation of all applicable alternatives, and using evaluation criteria appropriate for each project.
The construction of bridges had started very long time ago. However, the bridge construction technologies have evolved in the 20th century, and were fueled by the Industrial Revolution. At the turn of the century, steel bridges were riveted together, not bolted; concrete bridges were cast in place, not precast; and large bridge members were built from lacing bars and smaller sections, not rolled in one piece. Construction techniques such as post-tensioning, slurry walls, soil freezing, and shield tunneling had not yet been conceived. Bridge construction is changing as the new millennium begins. New construction techniques and new materials are emerging. There are also new issues facing the bridge construction technologies relative to the research needs associated with the new techniques and materials introduced.
Over many decades, various construction systems for bridges have been developed and successfully used. Most of these systems, with advances and modifications, are still in use until today. The objective of this material is to review the state of the art in the area of bridge construction. This involves the latest construction systems and future trends for this type of structures.
For each construction system, a brief description is outlined that includes: system concept, main system components, construction sequence, system advantages, and system disadvantages and limitations. In addition, the bridge construction in Egypt is discussed in view of the applicability of various construction systems under the Egyptian construction environment. This includes the potential of using the promising systems yet to be applied in Egypt.
Bridges can be classified according to their purpose into highway bridges, elevated roads, railway bridges, and foot bridges. This material is limited to highway bridges and elevated roads since their work volume constitutes more than 90% of the total volume of bridge works in Egypt. Only the construction systems for bridge superstructures are included.
Further, bridges can be classified according to their material of construction into timber, masonry, steel, reinforced concrete, and prestressed concrete. The material is limited to prestressed concrete bridges since most recent developments in the bridge construction systems are found in this category.

If you have problem with downloading from file sharing server because you don't have premium account, bore with waiting time and hate with free link which couldn't resume, don't worry, I have many trick to solve this problem.
I introduce you with cbox (chatting box)
If you have using rapidleech, cbox similar with this.
cbox works by create a mirror link from file sharing server like rapidshare, then you can download from it's (cbox) server.

Open the above link and you will look like this
First, you must register (it no need email verified), just put your name at the top box and the hit profile button at the right side. Fill your password and now you are registered member
Now you are ready to download.
First, prepare you download links (cbox supports many sites, you could see on it's site)
Second, check your link with link checker which available on it's site
Third, post your link (copy and paste link which just checked with link checker) in the second box under your name
Last, wait for Moderator to leech your link then you can download without free account
NB:
This link expired after 3-4 hours (I think it's enough time to download big file), but if you haven't finished your link, you can releech your file, copy the fresh download link and then replace your old links in your Download manager (I'm using IDM). Then resume it.
Now I would like to purchase the premium right to download the file from the online file sharing. I tries mydownloader.net for 3 days, I found many problem with them, 1/3 of download files need to proceed many times, as those files need to transfer to their server before we could resumable download to our PC.
It took long time to transfer the download files to their sever, before we could download, and 30% link are unable to load to their sever.
If purchase fileserve, some of our link in the forum does not include fileserve.
Please suggest the best file sharing server for me!
Modification of the ACI Rectangular Stress Block for High-Strength Concrete
Author: Hishmam H. H. Ibrahim and J. G. MacGregor | Size: 5544 KB | Format:PDF | Publisher: ACI | Year: 1997 | pages: 9 | ISBN: -
Most concrete codes do not explicitly cover concrete with strengths above 50-60 MPa (7000 to 9000psi) . Compression stress blocks from three current codes that do allow design for high strength concrete (HSC) sections are presented.

A thorough understanding of the interaction of waves and currents with offshore structures has now become a vital factor in the safe and economical design of various offshore technologies. There has been a significant increase in the research efforts to meet this need. Although considerable progress has been made in the offshore industry and in the understanding of the interaction of waves, currents, and wind with ocean structures, most of the available books concentrate only on practical applications without a grounding in the physics. This text integrates an understanding of the physics of ocean–structure interactions with numerous applications. This more complete understanding will allow the engineer and designer to solve problems heretofore not encountered, and to design new and innovative structures. The intent of this book is to serve the needs of future generations of engineers designing more sophisticated structures at ever increasing depths.
Table of Contents
1. Introduction
2. Review of the fundamental equations and concepts
3. Separation and time-dependent flows
4. Wave and wave-structure interactions
5. Wave forces on large bodies
6. Vortex induced vibrations
7. Hydrodynamic damping.
