Rules for Member Stability in EN 1993-1-1: Background documentation and design guidelines
ISBN 92914700084

Publisher ECCS
Year 2006
Resume:
This volume intends at helping in the understanding of the new design rules for member stability in Eurocode 3 Part 1.1 (EN 1993-1-1:2005). In particular, the new recommendations for lateral torsional buckling and beam-column stability in chapter 6.3.3 (4) of Eurocode 3 are concerned. It is divided into two independent parts A and B.
Part A, devoted to the background of the proposed formulae, gives further information on the way the formulae have been built and validated. Moreover, the different basic concepts used in the formulae are detailed, for the two sets of formulae proposed in the code. It is to be noted that a great number of papers prepared within the development of the formulae are made available by means of a CD-Rom that is part of this publication.
Part B is dedicated to practitioners; it contains fully detailed worked examples on isolated members, from basic situations to the most complex one. In addition, an example of design of a member extracted from a frame is also given. Furthermore an annex shows especially the determination of the elastic lateral torsional buckling moment for different loading and support conditions.
Freeze-Thaw Resistance of Concrete With Marginal Air Content
Author: Jussara Tanesi and Richard Meininger | Size: 2.02 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: FHWA | Year: 2006 | pages: 96
Freeze-thaw resistance is a key durability factor for concrete pavements. Recommendations for the air void system parameters are normally: 6 ± 1 percent total air, and spacing factor less than 0.20 millimeters. However, it was observed that some concretes that did not possess these commonly accepted thresholds presented good freeze-thaw resistance in laboratory studies. This study evaluated the freeze-thaw resistance of several “marginal” air void mixes, with two different types of air-entraining admixtures (AEA)—a Vinsol resin and a synthetic admixture. This study used rapid cycles of freezing and thawing in plain water, in the absence of deicing salts. For the specific materials and concrete mixture proportions used in this project, the marginal air mixes (concretes with fresh air contents of 3.5 percent or higher) presented an adequate freeze-thaw performance when Vinsol resin based air-entraining admixture was used. The synthetic admixture used in this study did not show the same good performance as the Vinsol resin admixture.

Description
Here it is, the first comprehensive reference guide that brings together the complex analytical techniques and detail design approaches necessary for every type of floating structure from FPSOs to innovative spars and TLP’s. This sensational reference consists of 1,200 pages spread over two volumes.
The Floating Structures guide was developed with 32 international sponsors and 22 authors from seven major companies. This highly complex project is valued at over $680,000! Now you can reap the rewards of years of hard work and learn from the best in the industry.
* Floating production types and their suitability for different types of field applications
* The worldwide ocean environment with comprehensive weather parameter data
* Hydrodynamics and dynamics, wave frequency, slowly varying high frequency and impulsive wave loads and responses
* Statics - stability and the ways in which hydrostatics are included in various different types of dynamic analysis plus stability regulations
* Dynamic response, spectral analysis techniques and checking methods for dynamic analysis
* Structural analysis and the options available
* Fatigue and fracture checking of structural steel and concrete including TLP’s
* Position keeping using catenary moorings, taut tether systems and DP
* Rigid steel and flexible risers analysis and design
* Fabrication of steel and concrete "floaters"
* Actual analysis of semi-sub and ship-shaped production installations bringing together their overall design methodology. For further details ask for a copy of the full contents list. This book is simply too good to miss.

The Measurement of Soil Properties in the Triaxial Test
Author: Alan W. Bishop and D. J. Henkel | Size: 7.83 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Hodder Arnold | Year: 1976 | pages: 236 | ISBN: 0713130040
This book is therefore restricted to a treatment of the triaxial test alone, and of the ways of meeting the various problems which arise in its use in the laboratory.
It cannot be repeated too often that the results are of practical significance only if the geology of the site is understood and if the samples are truly representative of the natural strata or fill, but it is outside the scope of the present treatment to elaborate on this theme.
The book is divided into four parts (as it is as product detail, or editor reviews)....
This book is not intended to serve as a manual.
Its purpose is to explain the significant factors in the various types of triaxial test, and to draw attention to matters of PRACTICAL DETAIL WHICH EXPERIENCE HAS SHOWN TO BE IMPORTANT.
The authors have drawn primarily on the experience of the Soil Mechanics Laboratory at Imperial College...."

More info/Product Description:
Why do many water management projects, begun with the best of intentions, still fail? How is it that large infrastructural water works often encounter opposition? Is it perhaps, among other things, the lack of attention for the cultural context? These and other intriguing questions are dealt with in this book. The authors, having 20 years of experience on water and sanitation in an international context, have investigated the relationship between water and culture world-wide in order to find new keys to successful and sustainable water management.
This book is based on extensive research and is intended to form a cultural road towards new sustainable water management practices. "Water: a way of life" takes the reader on a water journey through time and across the world’s continents. Along the way it explains the past and present ways in which different cultures around the world, both traditional and modern, view and manage water in response to the distinct environment they inhabit. As beliefs and values are at the heart of any culture, it also highlights the views of the main world religions on water and its use. A better understanding of cultural water beliefs and practices may lead to new concepts for future sustainable water management - from flood management to water supply, sanitation and irrigation management.
The book will be useful to water professionals exporting knowledge and technologies to foreign countries where the challenge is to create sustainable solutions for water management by taking into account local, cultural factors. It is also intended to encourage world leaders, politicians and decision-makers responsible for water management to use their power, knowledge and influence to really make a change for the benefit of the people they represent. In this way, water can become a source of cooperation rather than a source of conflict.
The authors trust that this book, about water and culture, intended for a truly international audience, will be a source of inspiration.
