The seismic isolation technology helps in protecting structures from earthquake damage. This new book provides both theory and practical aspects of seismic isolation technique. It contains the necessary mathematical tools and introduces the empirical methods with detailed design and documentation material of type that a structural engineer would need to implement isolation technique. Authors: Trevor E. Kelly, R. Ivan Skinner and Bill (W.H.) Robinson. 373 pages.
I have attached an image of its cover for your reference.

Hello,
I need the following paper,
"Simplified nonlinear analysis of flexible retaining walls in soft soil",
Guo Yurong & Zou Yinsheng
any other paper or reference in modeling the construction sequence of an excavation or tieback wall using a beam-on-elastic foundation/winkler model would be welcome.
1.1 SCOPE
This Standard provides a guide to products and procedures for the painting of buildings for general domestic, commercial and industrial use.
The Standard does not include a specific recommendation for the long-term protection of iron or steel exposed directly to the atmosphere or to internal climates likely to have aggressive environments which are dealt with in AS/NZS 2312.
1.2 OBJECTIVE
The Standard is intended to assist those with interest in building design and maintenance such as trades people, architects, builders or building owners in the preparation of painting specifications for inclusion in contracts. It should not be called up in contracts without also specifying the detail to be derived from it.
In providing guidance on the preparation of painting and repainting specifications for surfaces forming parts of buildings, the Standard necessarily gives choices of paint types for use in different areas. For each contract, the architect, or owners, should draw up a complementary painting schedule to detail the options that are to be used together with a colour schedule. This Standard can then be referred to when specifying the necessary preparation, the coating system and the methods and conditions of application.
NOTE: Information on the preparation of painting specifications is given in Section 9 and Appendices A and B. Information on inspection and testing is given in Appendix C.

Guidelines for the use of Advanced Numerical Analysis
Author: D. Potts, K. Axelsson, L. Grande, H. Schweiger,and M. Long | Size: 8.9 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Thomas Telford Ltd | Year: 2002 | pages: 180 | ISBN: 9780727731258
Description
It is not easy for engineers to gain all the skills necessary to perform numerical analysis. This book is an authoritative guide that explains in detail the potential restrictions and pitfalls and so help engineers undertake advanced numerical analysis. It discusses the major approximations involved in nonlinear numerical analysis and describes some of the more popular constituitive models currently available and explores their strengths and weaknesses. It also discusses the determination of material parameters for defining soil behaviour, investigates the options for modelling structural components and their interface with the soil and the boundary conditions that are appropriate in geotechnical analysis and the assumptions implied when they are used.
Guidelines for the use of Advanced Numerical Analysis also provides guidelines for best practice of specific types of soil-structure interaction that are common in urban development and discusses the role of benchmarking exercises. This authoritative book will be invaluable to practising engineers involved in urban development. It will also be useful tool for geotechnical and structural engineers.

Towards a New Architect: The guide for architecture students /by Yasmin Shariff,Jane Tankard. After three years of education, architecture students have to start out on their first year of practical training as the initial step in a career in the professional world--all too often without enough clear advice to make sure that their first step is in the right direction.
Towards a New Architect helps you to make the right moves. It explores how to research the opportunities available, prepare your CV, make sure that it gets you noticed for the right reasons and deliver a successful interview as part of a clear plan for building your career as an architect.
For many architecture students the ultimate goal in their career is to set up in practice for themselves. This book sets out the steps to get there successfully and to make the process enjoyable and fulfilling.
* Practical guide to planning a career in architecture
* Learn key skills to help you get the right job at the right firm
* Written to the latest RIBA/ARB guidelines
