Description
Serviceability failures of concrete structures involving excessive cracking or deflection are relatively common, even in structures that comply with code requirements. This is often as a result of a failure to adequately account for the time-dependent deformations of concrete in the design of the structure. The serviceability provisions embodied in codes of practice are relatively crude and, in some situations, unreliable and do not adequately model the in-service behaviour of structures. In particular, they fail to adequately account for the effects of creep and shrinkage of the concrete. Design for serviceability is complicated by the non-linear and inelastic behaviour of concrete at service loads.
Providing detailed information, this book helps engineers to rationally predict the time-varying deformation of concrete structures under typical in-service conditions. It gives analytical methods to help anticipate time-dependent cracking, the gradual change in tension stiffening with time, creep induced deformations and the load independent strains caused by shrinkage and temperature changes. The calculation procedures are illustrated with many worked examples.
A vital guide for practising engineers and advanced students of structural engineering on the design of concrete structures for serviceability and provides a penetrating insight into the time-dependent behaviour of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures.

ISO 9194:1987 Bases for design of structures -- Actions due to the self-weight of structures, non-structural elements and stored materials -- Density
Author: ISO TC 98/SC 3 | Size: 1.73 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: ISO | Year: 1987 | pages: 10
Defines the actions due to the self-weight of structures, non-structural elements and stored materials and gives the numerical values of their densities. These actions are to be determined by multiplying the densities by the gravitational acceleration and by the actual volume. The actions caused by the weight of the earth placed on the structures are similarly calculated.

Since the introduction of the Superpave mix design procedure, there has been considerable
research to refine the design procedure so that laboratory tests and procedures used during
the hot-mix asphalt (HMA) mix design process relate better to actual field performance. Also, a
number of agencies have been concerned with the lack of a proof test for validating the
volumetric properties. Many have expressed a desire for a truly simple mix test that could be
employed at the HMA plant lab level.
These issues were explored in a workshop at the 85th Annual Meeting of the
Transportation Research Board (TRB). The papers in this document were written following the
workshop and are based on the presentations; the papers have not undergone a formal peer
review.
The first paper offers a state-of-the-practice for Superpave mix design and specification,
which is based on an in-depth survey of the regional User–Producer Groups. It includes a
summary of changes made to the Superpave mix design procedure as a result of NCHRP
research findings, Expert Task Group/American Association of State Highway and
Transportation Officials (ETG/AASHTO) recommendations, and individual state experience.
The remaining papers deal with other tools for mix design and evaluating HMA during
production that are relatively simple and implementable. This includes such things as the Bailey
method of gradation evaluation, use of the Superpave gyratory compactor to assess performance,
and use of the locking point to establish NDesign. In addition, other mix tests that show some
potential as practical tools for use in the verification of mix designs and the quality control of
HMA production are offered. These changes and new tools are intended to improve the field
performance of HMA.

Soil is matter in its own right. Its nature can be captured by means of monotonous, cyclic and strange attractors. Thus material properties are defined by the asymptotic response of sand- and clay-like samples to imposed deformations and stresses. This serves to validate and calibrate elastoplastic and hypoplastic relations with comparative plots. Extensions capture thermal and seismic activations, limitations occur due to localizations and skeleton decay.Attractors in the large characterize boundary value problems from model tests via geotechnical operations up to tectonic evolutions. Validations of hypoplastic calculations are shown with many examples, possible further applications are indicated in detail. This approach is energetically justified and limited by critical points where the otherwise legitimate continuity gets lost by localization and decay. You will be fascinated by the fourth element although or just as it is so manifold.

Review
"This book illustrates why so many students select engineering as a profession and as well as inspiring new engineers it should encourage new students and existing professionals to be inspired... This book is very well illustrated... This is a very good book to inspire clients and architects on how to get the best from engineers."
Engineering World, Winter 2001
Product Description
Illustrating the many ways that structural engineers can bring their creativity and innovation to contribute to the design of the best buildings, this book presents the full value of the engineer in helping clients and architects achieve their goals.
The structural engineer's primary contribution to a project is clear - to ensure the building stands up and carries the loads to which it may be subjected. However, good engineers can bring so much more than this minimum. They add value to a project, enable it to function more effectively, reduce the risk of time and cost overruns, and enable architects greater opportunities for expression.
Addis presents a complete understanding of structure, by explaining the processes, variety of materials and philosophical issues involved, through over forty case studies. These examples illustrate why innovative engineers are now recognized as creators in their own right, able to explore the infinite ways of making and joining materials to create structure and form. It also proves their essential role as an integral member of the design team.
This text is useful to engineers in demonstrating how to apply a knowledge of materials and form to their clients needs, and useful for architects in knowing how to get the best from a structural engineer and realise their dreams.
* Provides a resource for architects in understanding and making effective use of materials and structures
* Encourages more architects to ask for more imaginative input from their structural engineers to inspire building designs
* International case-studies reveal ways in which engineers can help develop architects' ideas

Just recently, I was being called by an employer informing me that my qualifications fit for their job requirements. I was invited to appear for an interview on Monday next week. This company is one of the reputed company in Saudi Arabia and they are looking for Civil Design Engineers. I just wanted to ask you guys if you have some tips, some advice, the Do's and Dont's on a job interview.
Of course, I do have already my experience but I wanted to know the opinions of other great engineers in this forum.
