Author: Don Anderson, Svetlana Brzev | Size: 3.9 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Canadian Concrete Masonry Producers Association | Year: 2009 | pages: 317
This document is intended to assist practicing structural engineers in designing masonry buildings for seismic load effects according to the National Building Code of Canada 2005 (NBCC 2005) and the CSA S304.1-04 masonry design standard. The document provides a commentary which explains the underlying theoretical background and rationale for the CSA S304.1-04 seismic design provisions. Changes in the seismic design provisions contained in Part 4 of the NBCC 2005 and CSA S304.1-04, and their impact on masonry design and construction are discussed.
This document is a comprehensive state-of-the-art guide on seismic design and construction of masonry structural elements for low to mid-rise structures, such as warehouses, industrial buildings, schools, commercial buildings, and residential/hotel structures. It is restricted to masonry structures designed and constructed using concrete block units. Consideration of the slenderness effects in tall masonry walls is beyond the scope of this document.
The material is presented in a simple and user-friendly manner. It facilitates the application of seismic design provisions and cross-referencing of code clauses for designers. The document has been developed in a modular form, with the content divided into four chapters, each of which can be used in a stand-alone manner. The appendices contain useful resources such as design procedures and research background for some of the design provisions. For easy reference, relevant code clauses are identified by framed boxes wherever appropriate.

The ASCE Annual Structures Congress that took place in Las Vegas Nevada in April 14-16, 2011, has several presentations in PPT and PDF.
This link allows you to see the technical program. If you click into any session, you can see the abstract. Some of the presenters uploaded their presentations that may be of interest to some. For the next bit of time some more presentations will be uploaded. Not sure when the site will go off-line

Abstract
Intended to assist with the breadth of choice in state-of-the-art materials by viewing it as an opportunity for innovative and unique design. Explores the history of technological development, describes manufacturing processes, discusses materials, and outlines specific design constraints. Contemporary examples of component design in building construction illustrate current practice.

Understanding dampness - effects, causes, diagnosis and remedies
Author: Trotman, P., Sanders, C. and Harrison, H. | Size: 9.76 MB | Format:PDF | Year: 2004 | pages: 226 | ISBN: 9781860816864
Abstract
Dampness is a continuing cause of distress to building occupants. It is a possible source of, or a contributor to, illness, and it encourages deterioration in the fabric of a building. With an emphasis on existing buildings and some coverage of the design of new build, this publication lists the causes of dampness and explores its effects. It also provides remedial measures. Topics covered include: Visible and hidden effects of dampness, Measuring moisture, Condensation, Rain penetration, Rising damp etc.

The main purpose of this book is to present all the ingredients for constructing the numerical models for representing the complex nonlinear behavior of structures and their components, which are represented as deformable solid bodies. Nonetheless, the book will also prove useful for those mostly interested in linear problems of mechanics, since the sure way to obtain a sound theoretical formulation of a linear problem goes through the consistent linearization of the more general nonlinear problem.
The original French edition published by Hermes Science - Lavoisier Paris in 2006 was nominated for the Roberval Award for University Textbooks in French.
