Modelling Enterprise Architectures
Author: Jon Holt and Simon Perry | Size: 1.18 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: IET | Year: 2010 | pages: 336 | ISBN: 9781849190770
This book looks at the practical needs of creating and maintaining an effective EA within a 21st century business through the use of pragmatic modelling. Introducing the concepts behind enterprise architectures, it teaches the modelling notation needed to effectively realise an enterprise architecture and explores the concepts more fully through a real-life enterprise architecture.
Book readership
For enterprise architects, business managers, chief information officers, and chief technology officers.
Book contents
Introduction, Modelling, Introduction to the Notation, UML Diagrams, Essential Elements for EA, Requirements Modelling for EAs, Enterprise Architecture Case Study, Example

Code of Practice for Precast Concrete Construction
Author: Buildings Department, Hong Kong | Size: 1.21 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: The Government of the Hong Kong | Year: 2003 | pages: 73
This Code of Practice deals with the design, construction and quality control of structural and nonstructural precast concrete elements. The design method used in this code is the Limit State Design as given in the Code of Practice for the Structural Use of Concrete. Other alternative design approaches may also be used provided sufficient justifying calculations are submitted. For bridges and associated structures, reference should also be made to the Structures Design Manual for Highways and Railways issued by the Highways Department. All design should be carried out under the supervision of a registered structural engineer or authorized person, with the execution of the works carried out under proper supervision. The requirements outlined in this code apply to both structural and non-structural members.

1.1 These requirements cover steel primary, steel secondary, and steel diked type atmospheric storage tanks from 60 to 660 gallons (227 to 2500 L) intended primarily for the storage and supply of heating fuels for oil burning equipment, or alternately for the storage of diesel fuels for compression ignition engines and motor oils (new and used) for automotive service stations, in aboveground applications.
1.2 Each tank type shall be permitted to be fabricated in various shapes (cylindrical, rectangular or obround), orientations (horizontal, vertical) and may have integral options (tank supports or accessories), as covered in this Standard.
1.3 These shop fabricated tanks are completely fabricated, inspected and tested for leakage before shipment from the factory as completely assembled vessels except for options intended for field assembly in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.
1.4 Each tank shall be permitted to be fabricated as a double bottom tank as covered in this Standard.
1.5 These tanks are intended for installation and use in accordance with the Standard for the Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment , ANSI/NFPA 31, the Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code, ANSI/NFPA 30, the Code for Motor Fuel Dispensing Facilities and Repair Garages, NFPA 30A, the Uniform Fire Code, ANSI/NFPA 1, and the International Fire Code published by the International Code Council.
1.6 These requirements do not apply to tanks covered by the Standard for Steel Underground Tanks for Flammable and Combustible Liquids, UL 58, the Standard for Steel Aboveground Tanks for Flammable and Combustible Liquids, UL 142, the Standard for Fire Resistant Tanks for Flammable and Combustible Liquids, UL 2080, the Standard for Protected Aboveground Tanks for Flammable and Combustible Liquids, UL 2085, or the Outline of Investigation for Non-Metallic Oil Burner Fuel Tanks, SU 2258.

Defective construction work, whether the result of inadequate design, faulty workmanship or poor materials – or some combination of these failings – is a frequent cause of legal disputes. Someone is usually to blame, either the builder or one or more of the professional consultants, or even the entire project team. It is important therefore that the project team should possess a good working knowledge of their responsibilities and liabilities.
Written by a solicitor with over twenty years of experience of building disputes, this book examines the responsibilities and liabilities of the project team when defects occur. It sets out the background role of the common law and statute and includes detailed discussion of important case law affecting the construction process from inception through to completion, together with a consideration of the impact of letters of intent, ‘no contract’ situations, and specific provisions of model conditions of contract.

Cementitious materials, rocks and fibre-reinforced composites commonly termed as quasibrittle, need a different fracture mechanics approach to model the crack propagation study because of the presence of significant size of fracture process zone ahead of the crack-tip. Recent studies show that concrete structures manifest three important stages in fracture process: crack initiation, stable crack propagation and unstable fracture or failure. Fracture Mechanics concept can better explain the above various stages including the concepts of ductility, size-effect, strain softening and post-cracking behavior of concrete and concrete structures.
The book presents a basic introduction on the various nonlinear concrete fracture models considering the respective fracture parameters. To this end, a thorough state-of-the-art review on various aspects of the material behavior and development of different concrete fracture models is presented. The development of cohesive crack model for standard test geometries using commonly used softening functions is shown and extensive studies on the behavior of cohesive crack fracture parameters are also carried out. The subsequent chapter contains the extensive study on the double-K and double-G fracture parameters in which some recent developments on the related fracture parameters are illustrated including introduction of weight function method to Double-K Fracture Model and formulization of size-effect behavior of the double-K fracture parameters. The application of weight function approach for determining of the KR-curve associated with cohesive stress distribution in the fracture process zone is also presented. Available test data are used to validate the new approach. Further, effect of specimen geometry, loading condition, size-effect and softening function on various fracture parameters is investigated. Towards the end, a comparative study between different fracture parameters obtained from various models is presented.

This reference tutorial contains modern experimental approaches to analysis of strain-stress distribution based on interference-optical methods of registration of strain or displacement fields, including coherent-optical techniques (holographic interferometry, speckle photography, electronic digital speckle interferometry techniques) and photoelastic methods as well as the shadow optical method of caustic.
The book describes the theory, efficient scope of application in the every-day practice and the problems of further development of these techniques. Much attention is paid to new and promising advanced developments in the field of observation and computational methods for study of residual stress, determination of fracture mechanics parameters and material deformation characteristics.
The content corresponds to the course of lectures delivered by the author at the N.E. Bauman Moscow State Technical University.
It is intended for technical university students, research engineers and postgraduate students who are doing analysis of strain-stress state and strength of structural elements.

I have to design PEB sheds for blast loads(In chemical plant). Currently i am referring"ASCE Blat design of structures in petrochemical facilities". It would be helpful if someone share a sample calculation for blast load calculation and how to input this in STAAD pro. It would also be useful if some one share "Exxon Blast Technology Manual".
Hi all,
I would like to ask from anybody that has access the following paper:
Design Strategies for Controlling Structural Instabilities /International Journal of Space Structures/ Volume 15, Number 3 - 4 / December 2000
