BS 7448-3:2005 Fracture mechanics toughness tests. Method for determination of fracture toughness of metallic materials at rates of increase in stress intensity factor greater than 3.0 MPa m0.5 s-1
This part of BS 7448 describes a method for determining the opening mode plane strain fracture toughness
KIc, the critical crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) fracture toughness and the critical J fracture
toughness of metallic materials. The method uses fatigue precracked specimens tested in displacement
control at rates of increase in stress intensity factor greater than 3.0 MPa·m0.5sp1 but less than
3 000 MPa·m0.5sp11) during the initial elastic deformation. Stress intensity factors greater than
3 000 MPa·m0.5sp1 are covered in Annex A. These rates are greater than those permitted in BS 7448-1.
The definition of fracture toughness values relevant to particular structural integrity assessments is
outside the scope of this British Standard.
NOTE This standard does not cover integrity assessments. Such assessments are covered in BS 7910.

BS 7448-4:1997 Fracture mechanics toughness tests. Method for determination of fracture resistance curves and initiation values for stable crack extension in metallic materials
This Part of BS 7448 gives a method for determining the resistance to stable crack extension of metallic
materials. The method uses fatigue precracked specimens. These are tested in displacement controlled
loading at a constant rate of increase in stress intensity factor within the range 0.5 MPa·m0.5s–1
to 3.0 MPa·m0.5s–1 1) during the initial elastic deformation. Resistance to crack extension is characterized
in terms of the variation in crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) and/or J with stable crack extension.
These characterizations are referred to in this standard as and J R-curves, respectively.
The method is only suitable for tests on specimens that exhibit stable crack extension. If unstable fracture
or crack arrest occurs in any of the tests in an R-curve determination it is necessary also to assess the test
results in accordance with BS 7448-1.
Testing requirements and analysis procedures are given which enable crack extension resistance curves to
be calculated from both straight notch and stepped notch compact specimens and single edge notch bend
specimens. Individual fracture parameters are also defined for CTOD and J at a point where stable crack
extension is close to the onset of initiation.
The definition of fracture toughness values relevant to particular structural integrity assessments is
outside the scope of this British Standard.
NOTE Publications of relevance to the subject matter covered by this Part of BS 7448 are listed in the bibliography in Annex A.
A system of crack plane identification is given in Annex B.

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.
