AASHTO Manual for Bridge Evaluation 2nd Edition, with 2011 and 2013 Interim Revisions
Size: 18.05 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) | Year: 2011;2013 | pages: 588 | ISBN: 9781615839858, 9780814479568, 9781560515579, 9781560514961
This is an all inclusive manual that incorporates Allowable Stress, Load Factor, and Load and Resistance Factor Rating methods into one publication. This manual provides guidelines for the procedures and policies for determining the physical condition, maintenance needs, and load capacity of highway bridges. This manual has been developed to assist bridge owners by establishing inspection procedures and evaluation practices that meet the National Bridge Inspection Standards. The manual is divided into eight sections, each representing a distinct phase of an overall bridge inspection and evaluation program. This manual replaces both the 1998 AASHTO Manual for Condition Evaluation of Bridges and the 2003 AASHTO Guide Manual for Condition Evaluation and Load and Resistance Factor Rating (LRFR) of Highway Bridges. It also supersedes the Manual for Bridge Evaluation, 1st Edition with Interims. It serves as a single standard for the evaluation of highway bridges of all types.
Included in this electronic edition are the 2011 and 2013 Interim Revisions. Following each chapter the Revisions are identified as well as linked throughout the entire book where available. See the "Interim Revisions 2011 and 2013" sections for a complete list of changes to each section.

Soil Mechanics: Calculations, Principles, and Methods provides expert insights into the nature of soil mechanics through the use of calculation and problem-solving techniques. This informed reference begins with basic principles and calculations, illustrating physical meanings of the unit weight of soil, specific gravity, water content, void ratio, porosity, saturation, and their typical values.
This is followed by calculations that illustrate the need for soil identification, classification, and ways to obtain soil particle size distribution, including sizes smaller than 0.075mm, performance, and the use of liquid and plastic limit tests. The book goes on to provide expert coverage regarding the use of soil identification and classification systems (both Unified Soil Classification System and AASHTO), and also includes applications concerning soil compaction and field applications, hydraulic conductivity and seepage, soil compressibility and field application, and shear strength and field application.

Introduction to approximate Solutions Techniques, numerical Modeling and Finite Element Methods
Author(s): Victor N. Kaliakin
Published By:CRC Press - Marcel Dekker
Published Year:2002
Size: 369 MB
Quality:Scanner
Abstract: Functions as a self-study guide for engineers and as a textbook for nonengineering students and engineering students, emphasizing generic forms of differential equations, applying approximate solution techniques to examples, and progressing to specific physical problems in modular, self-contained chapters that integrate into the text or can stand alone!
This reference/text focuses on classical approximate solution techniques such as the finite difference method, the method of weighted residuals, and variation methods, culminating in an introduction to the finite element method (FEM).
Discusses the general notion of approximate solutions and associated errors!
With 1500 equations and more than 750 references, drawings, and tables, Introduction to Approximate Solution Techniques, Numerical Modeling, and Finite Element Methods:
Describes the approximate solution of ordinary and partial differential equations using the finite difference method
Covers the method of weighted residuals, including specific weighting and trial functions
Considers variational methods
Highlights all aspects associated with the formulation of finite element equations
Outlines meshing of the solution domain, nodal specifications, solution of global equations, solution refinement, and assessment of results
Containing appendices that present concise overviews of topics and serve as rudimentary tutorials for professionals and students without a background in computational mechanics, Introduction to Approximate Solution Techniques, Numerical Modeling, and Finite Element Methods is a blue-chip reference for civil, mechanical, structural, aerospace, and industrial engineers, and a practical text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students studying approximate solution techniques and the FEM.

2020 AISC Seismic Provisions for Evaluation and Retrofit of Existing Structural Steel Buildings (ANSI/AISC 342-20)
The American Institute of Steel Construction invites comments on the current draft of a new standard that will apply to the retrofit of structural steel buildings subjected to seismic loading.
The document is available for public review until May 20, 2019.
The new standard, Seismic Provisions for Evaluation and Retrofit of Existing Structural Steel Buildings (AISC 342), is intended to be used in conjunction with ASCE/SEI 41, as a replacement to Chapter 9 of that document.

At first glance, roads seem like the simplest possible geotechnical structures. However, analysis of these structures runs up against complexities related to the intense stresses experienced by road surfaces, their intense interaction with climate, and the complicated behavior of the materials used in road construction.
Modern mechanistic approaches to road design provide the tools capable of developing new technical solutions. However, use of these approaches requires deep understanding of the behavior of constituent materials and their interaction with water and heat which has recently been acquired thanks to advances in geotechnical engineering. The author comprehensively describes and explains these advances and their use in road engineering in the two-volume set Geotechnics of Roads, compiling information that had hitherto only been available in numerous research papers.
Geotechnics of Roads: Fundamentalspresents stresses and strains in road structures, water and heat migration within and between layers of road materials, and the effects of water on the strength and stiffness of those materials. It includes a deep analysis of soil compaction, one of the most important issues in road construction. Compaction accounts for only a small proportion of a construction budget but its effects on the long-term performance of a road are decisive. In addition, the book describes methodologies for nondestructive road evaluation including analysis of continuous compaction control, a powerful technique for real-time quality control of road structures.
This unique book will be of value to civil, structural and geotechnical engineers worldwide.
