A step-by-step text on the basic tests performed in soil mechanics, Introduction to Soil Mechanics Laboratory Testing provides procedural aids and elucidates industry standards. It also covers how to properly present data and document results. Containing numerical examples and figures, the information presented is based on American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards, and US Army Corps of Engineers engineering manuals.
The authors discuss the different methods of in situ field methods and ex situ laboratory methods of soil description and identification. They present equations for the physical properties of soil and laboratory methods of soil classification. They also discuss tests for the interaction of soil and water, and hydraulic conductivity and consolidation. These tests produce information useful in the identification and characterization of soil samples and their engineering behaviors.
A comprehensive resource, the book describes the evaluation of physical properties of soils, including mass, weight, unit weight, and mass density of the soil mass and its component phases. These properties are then expanded to define a number of weight and volumetric relationships. The book also discusses tests used in the evaluation of the density-water content relationships in soils and in the evaluation of the quality of compaction operations. These features and more make this book an excellent guide for testing soils.
This laboratory manual originated from class notes developed for geotechnical engineering classes at Louisiana State University.
These notes were expanded upon by faculty and students in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Louisiana State University over the last 5 years.

The tubular welded joints used in the construction of offshore structures can experience millions of variable amplitude load cycles during their service life. Such fatigue loading represents a main cause of degradation in these structures. As a result, fatigue is an important consideration in their design. Fatigue and Fracture Mechanisms of Offshore Structures present novel research and the results of wave-induced stress on the operational life of offshore structures.
Containing results of an investigation undertaken to assess the fatigue and fracture performance of steels used in the offshore industry, Fatigue and Fracture Mechanics of Offshore Structures includes,
•Stress analysis of tubular joints
•Fatigue design
•Fatigue loading in Jackup structures
•Jack-up dynamic response
•Modelling of wave loading
•Test specimen considerations
•The stress intensity factor concept
•Variable amplitude crack growth models
•Consideration of sequence effects
•Sea state probability model
The important research in this book will be of interest to those dealing with a wide range of engineering structures - from bridges and buildings to masts and pipelines, as well as fatigue and fracture specialists, and those concerned with materials technology.

I believe that performance based design are widely used in most countries. Here in my country, there is only one structure I know that was designed using that kind of approach because still static and dynamic analysis are the most common in here.
This advancement of structural design approach really challenges the capability of all structural engineers. I must admit that I don't have an experience yet in using this kind of approach but somehow I have a little idea of this procedure. May I know how often you use performance based design in your country?
