When properly designed, wood frame structures will resist damage by moisture and living organisms. Recommendations for control of moisture and protection against decay and insect infestations are contained in this document. Many of the recommendations are established practice among architects, engineers, and builders.

SCI P170: Specification of Structural Steelwork for Bridges: A Model Appendix 18/1 (with commentary) 3rd Edition
Author: D C ILES | Size: 0.23 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: SCI | Year: 2008 | pages: 28
This document is set out as a series of clauses which may be incorporated in a project specification as part of an ‘Appendix 18/1’ to the Specification for Highway Works. The clauses are grouped under headings which generally correspond to those of the principal clauses of BS 5400: Part 6. Reference numbers are given to the ‘model’ clauses for ease of use and cross-reference; when used in a particular project specification an alternative numbering system may be chosen to suit the requirements of the project. Reference to clauses in BS 5400: Part 6 is made simply by quoting the clause number. The clauses are arranged in a two-column format. The left-hand column contains the actual clause text suggested by the Group. The text in the right-hand column is a commentary for the information of the person drawing up project documents and is not intended to be included within the project specification itself. In this commentary, reference is made to ‘Guidance Notes’. These are a series of 60 separate topics that are published as Steel Bridge Group: Guidance Notes on Best Practice in Steel Bridge Construction (SCI P185). The Notes offer extensive, though still relatively concise, advice on practical aspects relating to structural steelwork. It is emphasised that this model document is intended to clarify and assist the production of a project specification that expresses clearly what the designer requires. This should be of benefit in pricing and execution of the work and should in turn lead to improvements in economy and quality of the finished structure. It is assumed in the model document that amendments to BS 5400-6:1999 are made under the Contract in accordance with SHW clause 1803.

Engineering and Design CONDUITS, CULVERTS, AND PIPES
Author: Department of the Army U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Washington | Size: 3.1 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Distribution Restriction Statement | Year: 31 March 1998 | pages: 87 | ISBN: 1110-2-2902
Engineering and Design
CONDUITS, CULVERTS, AND PIPES
1. Purpose. This manual provides (a) guidance on the design and construction of conduits, culverts, and pipes, and (b) design procedures for trench/embankment earth loadings, highway loadings, railroad loadings, surface concentrated loadings, and internal/external fluid pressures.
2. Applicability. This manual applies to all USACE commands having civil works responsibilities.
3. General. Reinforced concrete conduits and pipes are used for dams, urban levees, and other levees where public safety is at risk or substantial property damage could occur. Corrugated metal pipes are acceptable through agricultural levees where conduits are 900-mm (36-in.) diameter and where levee embankments are not higher than 4 m (12 ft) above the conduit invert. Inlet structures, intake towers, gate wells, and outlet structures should be concrete, or corrugated metal structures may be used in agricultural and rural levees. Life cycle cost studies are required where corrugated metal pipes are used.
4. Distribution. This manual is approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.

hi guys,
I am looking for at least two papers about the same topics. The papers should be about tunneling or anything about geotechnics. I have to write an essay based those papers. I have been desperately looking for such papers, but i could not find one. So i am asking you experts to help me.;-)
I found a interresting paper about "immeresed tunnel settlement", but i could not find another paper to somehow relate it to the found paper. The subject of the papers are not important. the important is thing that they could somehow relate to each other and be able to discuss them in the essay.

analysis of 12 storey shearwall-frame bldg. using MIDAS (the project can be found in the book of SK Gosh & Fanella(Seismic & Wind Design of Concrete Bldg.)
Dear all,
This is about the analysis of 12 storey shearwall-frame bldg. which can be found in the book of SK Gosh and Fanella. The title of the book is Seismic and Wind Design of Concrete Bldg. I used MIDAS in my analysis for you guys to comment. The book is available in this forum.
