AASHTO MBEI-1-I1 2015 Interim Revisions, AASHTO Manual for Bridge Element Inspection
Author(s)/Editor(s): AASHTO | Size: 14.9 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials | Year: 2014 | pages: 252
Designed for use by state departments of transportation and other agencies that perform element-level bridge inspections, this manual is a reference for standardized element definitions, element quantity calculations, condition state definitions, element feasible actions, and inspection conventions. Its goal is to capture the condition of bridges in a simple, effective way that can be standardized nationwide, while providing enough flexibility to be adapted to both large- and small-agency settings.

Providing many lessons learned from past silo fires coupled with in-depth knowledge from experts, this book explains current prevention measures in detail -- helping to prevent future damage.
It covers numerous types of fire detection devices and fire fighting equipment, backed by extensive data tables listing fire and explosion characteristics of bulk materials, color photographs of silos on fire and documentation of firefighters' actions. In addition, diagrams and formulas as well as pre-prepared check lists are included for risk assessment and fire fighting actions.
Possibly lifesaving reading for chemists in industry, engineers, chemical engineers, health officers, environmental consultants, instructors in the chemical industry, as well as chemicals suppliers and safety officers.

Cable-supported bridges are known for their visual elegance, aesthetic appeal and ability to link long spans. The extent of issues of concern associated with these structures is commensurate with their size and vast scale. Significant advances in the technology of assessment, design, construction and maintenance of cable-supported bridges have been achieved in the past few years, due to increasing awareness, collaboration and information exchange.This book contains selected papers on cable-supported bridges as presented at the 5th International Cable-Supported Bridge Operators' Conference, held in New York City on August 28-29, 2006. It includes papers by leading international bridge engineers. Presenting state-of-the-art material, the book is an authoritative account on the developments in the field, this volume forms essential reading to anyone working on cable-supported bridges.

Guide to the Advanced Fire Safety Engineering of Structures
Author(s)/Editor(s): The Institution of Structural Engineers | Size: 4.36 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: The Institution of Structural Engineers | Year: 2007 | pages: 56 | ISBN: 0901297461, 9780901297464
This Guide provides an overview of the available advanced methods for designing structures for fire resistance and should be read in conjunction with the previous publication Introduction to the fire safety engineering of structures, which presented a range of simple design approaches and useful background information. Structural fire design brings together the disciplines of structural engineering and fire engineering, to allow a performance-based design approach to be carried out which can allow more economic, robust, innovative and complex buildings to be constructed. In Guide to the advanced fire safety engineering of structures each stage of the advanced design process (modelling the fire, determining the heat transfer to the structure and high temperature structural analysis) is discussed, with guidance on the various approaches which can be adopted. Case studies are included to show how the methods presented within the Guide can be applied to obtain a better understanding of the structural behaviour during a fire. The advantages of adopting advanced design approaches are:
· Generally more economical designs, compared to the simple prescriptive approaches, whilst still maintaining acceptable levels of life safety.
· The construction of more innovative and complex buildings which were not possible due to the restrictive nature of the simple prescriptive rules.
· A better understanding of the actual structural behaviour of the building during a possible fire.
· The construction of more robust buildings due to the advanced design approach allowing identification, and strengthening, of any 'weak' links within the structure.
· An increase in the levels of safety offered by the simple prescriptive design approaches, by incorporating advanced structural fire design within a global fire strategy.
This Guide is aimed at the structural engineer and approving bodies. For the structural engineer, guidance is presented enabling the selection of a suitable advanced design approach, together with identifying the detailed procedures and corresponding tools, which can be used at each stage of the design. An understanding of the important characteristics and parameters, which need to be included within the chosen design approach, is also discussed. By providing guidance on a suitable framework for the design process, together with a simple design checklist, the Guide is also of benefit to approving bodies enabling the right questions to be asked, and informed decisions to be made

This book includes a collection of chapters that were presented at the International Conference on Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics (ICESD), held in Reykjavik, Iceland between 12-14 June 2017. The contributions address a wide spectrum of subjects related to wind engineering, earthquake engineering, and structural dynamics. Dynamic behavior of ultra long span bridges that are discussed in this volume represent one of the most challenging and ambitious contemporary engineering projects. Concepts, principles, and applications of earthquake engineering are presented in chapters addressing various aspects such as ground motion modelling, hazard analysis, structural analysis and identification, design and detailing of structures, risk due to non-structural components, and risk communication and mitigation.
The presented chapters represent the state-of-the-art in these fields as well as the most recent developments.

Article/eBook Full Name: Wind Loads on Non-Building Structures Using ASCE 7-10
Author(s): Silky Wong; Ankur Sepaha; Naga Swamy; Samuel D. Amoroso; and Dawar Naqvi
Publish Date: 2012
Published By: ASCE
Covering a wide range of structural elements and related defects, this collection of twenty concrete bridge strengthening and repair case studies showcases solutions to real problems encountered in the field and the processes by which those solutions were developed. Drawing on a lifetime of experience Atkins consultant Iain Kennedy Reid provides insight into methods of investigation and diagnosis of problems relating to beams, slabs, columns and panel walls, as well as how to apply demand-led research to these problems in a practical way.
