The world-famous volunteer organization Habitat for Humanity now offers its best nuts-and-bolts expertise in an easy-to-follow home construction handbook. Whether the reader contemplates building his or her own house or plans on volunteering to build for others, Habitat for Humanity: How to Build a House delivers on the promise of its title. Step-by-step instructions by author and veteran crew supervisor Larry Haun are provided in plain, simple English, with lots of encouragement and no condescension to beginners. Practically every page contains an extra "helping hand" tip on materials, tools, building codes, or safety precautions. In hundreds of color photographs and black-and-white line drawings, the book follows the construction of a single house--from choosing its location to the final step of installing its exterior door locks. Reassuring personal stories from Habitat volunteers are scattered throughout, along with confidence-inspiring promises from the author such as "building a simple house is not a mystery."
Note
This is scanned book (jpg to pdf)! The book is accompanied with 3 instructional dvd's (not included).

Guide to durability of buildings and building elements, products and components
Executive summary
Guidance on the durability, required and predicted service life and design life of buildings and building elements, products and components.
Abstract
This British Standard provides guidance on durability, required and predicted service life and design life of buildings and their components and/or parts. It applies primarily to new buildings and their components and/or parts rather than to alterations and repairs. It also gives guidance on presenting information on the service and design life of buildings and their components and/or parts when a detailed brief is being developed.
This standard applies to civil engineering projects involving buildings, but only partially to other civil engineering projects such as roads, bridges and dams.
This standard does not deal with many aspects of obsolescence, i.e. when buildings or parts of buildings are replaced or altered either to suit different needs and changing conditions including change of use, mandatory requirements or when new products offer better performance without a corresponding increase in cost.

This standard specifies requirements, recommendations and information concerning the execution of permanent or tempory sheet pile wall structures in accordance with 2.4 of ENV 1991-1:1994 and the handling of equipment and materials. It does not give requirements and recommendations for the installation of specific parts of the structure such as ground anchorages and piles which are covered by other codes.

Microzonation for Earthquake Risk Mitigation, State of the Art Report
Author: Atilla Ansal, Mustafa Erdik and oth. | Size: 3.61 MB | Format:PDF | Year: 2004 | pages: 114
This state -of-the art report has been undertaken within the DRM-MERM Project to define the
primary framework for the Seismic Zonation Manual, under preparation as the main output of
this project, with the aim of improving the zonation methodology in Turkey. Thus the review
of the literature has been conducted taking into consideration the state-of-the-practice in
Turkey. Even though significant effort has been made to conduct a thorough review, due to
the multi-disciplinary nature of the topic and very large numbers of papers, it would be
unrealistic to claim that all the literature on seismic microzonation and related disciplines
have been reviewed.
The purpose of this report is to review the literature to summarize the state-of-the-art and
state -of-the practice in seismic microzonation that may be considered to be composed of five
different phases as; site characterisation, evaluation of the seismic hazard; estimation of the
ground motion characteristics on the ground surface, assessment of liquefaction susceptibility,
assessment of landslide hazard. Thus in reviewing the literature each phase will be treated
separately and will be considered in sequential stages as; identification and explanation of the
process, compilation of the relevant and needed databases , analysis and interpretation of the
acquired databases. The investigations and suggestions encountered in the literature are
reviewed with the perspective of mainly offering the scientist and engineers in Turkey
information concerning all the stages of seismic microzonation. Therefore the necessary steps
in each and all seismic microzonation components will be considered in terms of consecutive
stages as; quantification of earthquake ground motion, determination of the necessary
geological and geotechnical site conditions, analyses of the available data, engineering
interpretation of the results obtained. The findings and proposals related to all these stages
will be reviewed briefly to give the reader a complete understanding of the whole process.
