First published in 1984, Limit Analysis and Concrete Plasticity explains for advanced design engineers the principles of plasticity theory and its application to the design of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures, providing a thorough understanding of the subject, rather than simply applying current design formulas.
Updated and revised throughout, Limit Analysis and Concrete Plasticity, Third Edition adds—
* Reinforcement design formulas for three-dimensional stress fields that enable design of solid structures (also suitable for implementation in computer-based lower bound optimizations)
* Improved explanations of the crack sliding theory and new solutions for beams with arbitrary curved shear cracks, continuous beams, lightly shear reinforced beams and beams with large axial compression
* More accurate treatment of and solutions for beams with circular cross-section
* Applications of crack sliding theory to punching shear problems
* New solutions that illustrate the implication of initial cracking on load-carrying capacity of disks
* Yield condition for the limiting case of isotropically cracked disk
The authors also devote an entirely new chapter to a recently developed theory of rigid-plastic dynamics for seismic design of concrete structures. In comparison with time-history analyses, the new theory is simpler to use and leads to large material savings. With this chapter, plasticity design methods for both statical and dynamical loads are now covered by the book.

Fundamentals of Materials Science and Engineering: An Integrated Approach
Author: William D. Callister, David G. Rethwisch | Size: 26.23 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Wiley | Year: 2008 | pages: 912 | ISBN: 978-0470125373
Callister and Rethwisch’s Fundamentals of Materials Science and Engineering third edition continues to take the integrated approach to the organization of topics. That is, one specific structure, characteristic, or property type at a time is discussed for all three basic material types—viz. metals, ceramics, and polymeric materials. This order of presentation allows for the early introduction of non-metals and supports the engineer’s role in choosing materials based upon their characteristics.

Nonconventional Concrete Technologies Renewal of the Highway Infrastructure
Author: Committee on Nonconventional Concrete Technologies | Size: 5.88 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: National Academy Press | Year: 1996 | pages: 125 | ISBN: 0-309-05687-X
This study was exciting because it challenged experts in a variety of fields to cross intellectual boundaries and think innovatively about concrete technology. The experts agreed to undertake this challenge for no reason other than their own intellectual curiosity and their desire to aid the development of new infrastructural materials and techniques. The committee is grateful for all the help it received and expresses its thanks to everyone who participated. Without the patience and support provided by many individuals and organizations, this report could never have been completed. In particular, the committee thanks Herbert A. Franklin of Bechtel Corporation. His support as technical advisor to the committee was invaluable. He provided great insight and made significant contributions to the report. Harold Jabloner of Hercules, Incorporated, and Youjiang Wang of the Georgia
Institute of Technology should also receive special thanks for their participation and insight while working with the committee. The committee is grateful for the dedication of Richard A. Livingston of the Federal Highway Administration for his vision and assistance to the committee. Jeff W. Rish of Wright Laboratories also provided valuable insight. This study relied heavily on the information collected from a range of materials-science experts at an international workshop that the committee organized. The committee is grateful to all of the participants, who provided the balance of expertise, insight, and originality needed to develop and scrutinize ideas about potentially new and innovative nonconventional concrete technologies. A complete list of workshop participants can be found in Appendix A

Does someone have the original copy of "Mechanics of Materials by James Gere - 6th edition"? Could i request for it. I bought the hard copy of "mechanics of materials by gere & timoshenko 4th edition". I wanna compare the 6th edition and 4th edition difference.
Thanks in advance.

This European Standard gives guidelines for operational aspects relevant to structural safety of storage
systems. Such systems operate with heavy mechanical handling equipment working in close proximity to
static storage equipment. This European Standard minimizes the risk and consequences of unsafe operation
or damage to the structure. Some other forms of storage equipment are only partially covered and further
consideration, beyond the scope of this European Standard, can be required.
This European Standard gives guidance in conjunction with prEN 15512, EN 15620, and EN 15629 to ensure
that the specifier, user and designer are aware of the constraints in each other’s area to allow a safe design to
be produced.
This European Standard specifically excludes storage equipment manufactured form materials other than
steel (except for certain accessories) and equipment intended to be used for domestic storage purposes
