This part of BS 8414 has been produced to provide a test method for assessing the fire performance of:
non-load-bearing external cladding systems
rainscreen overcladding systems
external wall insulation systems at full-scale when applied to the face of a building and exposed to an external fire under controlled conditions.
The fire exposure conditions have been developed to be representative of an external fire source or a fully-developed (post-flashover) fire in a room, venting through an opening such as a window aperture that exposes the cladding to the effects of external flames.

BS 8414-2:2005 Fire performance of external cladding systems. Test method for non-loadbearing external cladding systems fixed to and supported by a structural steel frame
This British Standard provides a test method for assessing the behaviour of non-loadbearing external cladding systems, such as curtain walling, glazed elements, infill panels and insulated composite panels, fixed to and supported by a structural steel frame when exposed to a fully-developed (post-flashover) fire in a room, venting through an opening such as a window aperture that exposes the cladding to the effects of external flames, or from an external fire source.
This method of test does not apply to non-loadbearing external rainscreen overcladding systems or external wall insulation systems applied to the face of a building, the fire testing of which are covered in
BS 8414-1. This test does not cover exposure to radiant heat from a fire in an adjacent building.

It's my pleasure to introduce the first manual for this wonderful place called CivilEA. Every single member of the Forum Team is meritorious and creditable for making this manual. We all put a lot of time to make this came true.
If you find any kind of mistakes, misunderstandings, faults or spelling mistakes - you are always free to contact us via PM or Profile Comments or by making post to this thread (just please, do not make posts containing only sentences like "Thanks" or "Not useful" or something similar - make whole sentences, give us your suggestions or start discussions)
There is not much to say about this Manual. There you can expect some useful hints and help on how to make good posts, how to use Post Generator, what is the meaning of the warning points and how to avoid getting warning points. Manual is going to be redesigned and improved and it will be done as soon as we find some spare time - your suggestions to 2nd Edition (that will be made) are always welcome.
This British Standard gives recommendations for the design of new
buildings and their approaches to meet the needs of disabled people.
It applies to car parking provision, setting‑down points and garaging,
access routes to and around all buildings, and entrances to and
interiors of new buildings. The recommendations also apply to routes
to facilities associated with and in the immediate vicinity of buildings.
NOTE 1 The recommendations in this British Standard mainly cover
access to buildings. The standard makes reference to egress in the event
of fire or other emergency, but the main recommendations for means of
escape are given in BS 9999.
The recommendations given in this British Standard also apply for
assessing the accessibility and usability of existing buildings and,
where practicable, as a basis for their improvement. The extent to
which the recommendations apply to listed and historic buildings is
determined on a case‑by‑case basis.
This British Standard applies to the following types of building:
transport and industrial buildings, e.g. rail, a) road, sea and air
travel buildings and associated concourses, car parking buildings
and factories;
b) administrative and commercial buildings, e.g. courts, offices,
banks, post offices, shops, department stores and shopping
centres, and public service buildings, including police stations;
c) health and welfare buildings, e.g. hospitals, health centres, dental
practices, surgeries and residential homes;
d) refreshment, entertainment and recreation buildings, e.g. cafés,
restaurants, public houses, concert halls, theatres, cinemas,
conference buildings, community buildings, swimming pools and
sports buildings;
e) religious buildings and associated facilities, e.g. church halls;
f) educational, cultural and scientific buildings, e.g. schools,
universities, colleges, zoos, museums, art galleries, libraries and
exhibition buildings;
g) residential buildings, e.g. hostels and hotels, residential clubs,
university and college halls of residence, nursing homes and
prisons, as well as the common parts of multi‑occupancy
residential buildings.
This British Standard does not apply to individual dwellings, to
residential buildings designed specifically to meet the needs of
severely disabled people, or to temporary structures.
NOTE 2 This British Standard does not give recommendations for
management and maintenance in occupied buildings, but a list of issues
to be considered is given in Annex A.
Although this British Standard is aimed specifically at the design of
buildings to meet the needs of disabled people, its recommendations
are also likely to benefit the population in general, e.g. elderly people,
people with children in pushchairs and those carrying heavy luggage.

Engineering Acoustics, An Introduction to Noise Control
Author: Michael Moser, S. Zimmermann, R. Ellis | Size: 23.2 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Springer | Year: 2009 | pages: 550 | ISBN: 9783540927228
"Engineering Acoustics" is a teaching textbook that can serve as a tool for self-study and as a compendium for lectures as well. One of the author's goals is not only to describe how the topic develops but also why a specific way is chosen. The explanations do not restrict themselves to mathematical formulas. Only the illustrative explanation relying on the reader's imagination creates comprehension. This book represents the foundations of what nowadays seems necessary to make our environment quieter - in buildings as well as in the open air. Fundamental chapters on the physics and perception of sound precede those on noise reduction methods. A chapter dealing with microphines, loudspeakers, and acoustical antennae is included as well as a chapter on the fundamentals of signal and system theory. Practice exercises with solutions serve for the application of the entire content.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Terms of use: By own risk and discretion as for any other piece of soft.
There is no more fundamental resource than water. The basis of all life, water is fast becoming a key issue in today’s world, as well as a source of conflict. This fascinating book, which sets out many of the ingenious methods by which ancient societies gathered, transported and stored water, is a timely publication as overextraction and profligacy threaten the existence of aquifers and watercourses that have supplied our needs for millennia.
It provides an overview of the water technologies developed by a number of ancient civilizations, from those of Mesopotamia and the Indus valley to later societies such as the Mycenaeans, Minoans, Persians, and the ancient Egyptians. Of course, no book on ancient water technologies would be complete without discussing the engineering feats of the Romans and Greeks, yet as well as covering these key civilizations, it also examines how ancient American societies from the Hohokams to the Mayans and Incas husbanded their water supplies. This unusually wide-ranging text could offer today’s parched world some solutions to the impending crisis in our water supply.

Practice Periodical on Structural Design and Construction, Vol. 11, No. 1, February 2006, pp. 1-13, (doi10.1061/(ASCE)1084-0680(2006)11:1(1))
Document type: Journal Paper
Abstract:
Circular base plates are commonly used for pipe columns, such as pylons in cable-stayed bridges, lighting poles, and electric power line posts. Although the explicit solutions for rectangular base plates can be found in many textbooks and AISC design procedures for base plates, a complete design procedure for circular base plates under different loading conditions has not been documented except for a large eccentric load. In this paper, a complete allowable stress design procedure is presented for circular base plates with axial loads, small eccentric loads, and moderate eccentric loads. Several design examples are shown for different loading conditions. Moderator Note

Concrete Design & Batch v1.2 (for MS Excel) - Design of Concrete Mixtures -
Size: 881.94 KB
Comprehensive Excel spreadsheet for concrete mix design and batching. Can save up to 100 mixes. Unique easy to use features for proportioning aggregates etc. Up to six aggregates, four cements and five admix can be blended in any one mix. Sieve analysis can be entered for up to twelve course and fine aggregates. Combined grading is graphed as you design a mix. Aggregate moisture can be adjusted and batch weights produced."
CONDEZ12.XLS - At last a simple to use, fully integrated mix design and batch program with built-in features not found in any other software. The spreadsheet is fully operational and will work approximately 30 times before some features become unuseable (demo mode).
Mix Design: User friendly interface means the program can be used as a tool to produce a simple concrete mix or by using the advanced features enables the user to produce accurate complex mixes using multiple cements, admixtures and aggregates.
The program makes it simple to adjust mixes. If for example extra water , cement or any ingredient is adjusted, simply adjust the yield control back to the required amount ie.1000 (1 cu m) and the aggregates are adjusted automatically. Again if for example more fine aggregate is required, one control will adjust all the course aggregates and all the fine aggregate volumes and weights automatically.

- Open Excel (Macros to activate security mode "media ") and go to the directory that contains the condez12 file. Open the file.
- Will not run with other Excel Workbooks open.
- This unregistered version saves only one mix.
- The program runs best with a Pentium computer with at least 32 meg ram. It will run with only 16 but will be slow. It is preferable to run the program without any other Excel workbooks open at the same time.
- If an error message appears regarding circular references select Tools – Options and then select the Calculation tab and tick Iteration.

While searching, I observed that an Invisible User appears. The other people in the copied " " below are incidental, and I can go to their profile. But not the Invisible User(s). It is blanked out.
I really find this upsetting. This must be addressed. Do we have a Big Brother watching???
