REINFORCEMENT HANDBOOK

This handbook is the latest of many publications, since the 1920s, from ARC. It has the continuing objective of providing engineering details and properties of reinforcement available throughout Australia, together with an interpretation of the requirements of Australian Standards within the context of practical solutions. The information is considered to be of value to all who work in the structural design and construction industry – in a design office, on a construction site or a student preparing to enter the industry. There is considerable emphasis on the requirements of many Australian
Standards. Standards are changing continuously to ensure that the latest practices are included. It is hoped that this publication will retain its relevance for several years, given that the major standards for reinforcing steel and reinforced concrete design have been recently released.

WOOD STRUCTURAL DESIGN DATA

Wood in the form of lumber and timbers has been used as a major structural material for centuries. Originally the material of craftsmen, wood is now the material of the engineer who uses technical data to design todays’ sophisticated structures.
Wood Structural Design Data, 1986 Edition, provides information relating to design of typical wood structural members. These data are augmented b y reference to the National Design Specification for Wood Construction, particularly on the subject of design stresses. Wood Structural Design Data was first published in 1934, with revised editions issued periodically to take into account new data and developments in wood design. Tabular data in this volume are presented primarily as a convenient aid in design of the most frequently encountered elements of wood structural framing. Hence, certain subjects are only summarized in the text to indicate their relationships to the tabular data. More detailed information is available in other publications, many of which are listed as References. In preparation of this and previous editions, information from the regional lumber manufacturers associations provided valuable data. Reports and other publications from the Forest Products Laboratory, U. S. Department of Agriculture, were important sources of fundamental information. Tabular data relate to dressed sizes conforming to the American Softwood Lumber Standard, Voluntary Product Standard 20-70, U . S . Department of Ccmmerce, National Bureau of Standards.

Urban Drainage Design Manual

This circular provides a comprehensive and practical guide for the design of storm drainage systems associated with transportation facilities. Design guidance is provided for the design of storm drainage systems which collect, convey, and discharge stormwater flowing within and along the highway right-of-way. Methods and procedures are given for the hydraulic design of storm drainage systems. Design methods are presented for evaluating rainfall and runoff magnitude, pavement drainage, gutter flow, inlet design, median and roadside ditch flow, structure design, and storm drain piping. Procedures for the design of detention facilities are also presented, along with an overview of storm water pumping stations and urban water quality practices. This edition presents a major change in the methodology discussed in Chapter 5 for designing channels and in Chapter 7 for calculating energy losses in storm drain access holes.
