Does anybody have a copy of Steelwork Design Guide to BS 5950 Vol 1&2.

Thanks,

Hi CivilEAns,
I have recently been following the threads within the Forum relating to Tekla Structures and they have really attracted my attention. It seems so interesting!!!
I have been using Masterseries (BS/EN) basically for simple analysis checks (I have to agree that i don't easily go about its modeling environment and procedure most especially when i compare it to the CSI products-which seem simpler and intuitive), a one disadvantage to me.

So this is how i go about it, very taxing!
1) I model and analyze in ETABS or SAP2000
2) For concrete, i proceed with spreadsheets for design, but the detailing becomes a hustle!!!( as in i go manual).
3) For steel, i proceed to MasterSeries with all the efforts and design/check the connections.
When i read the Tekla threads, this program seems to be a one stop for all this!!!

Please, those with experience/info regarding the two products please throw more light on the advantages of one program over the other, say in regard to Analysis and design of Concrete, Steel and, (Simple and Moment steel connections)
I would like to know which of the two programs is nearly a one stop shop!!

Hello All,

I would request anyone having the following excellent design book to post the same online.
Those interested might visit amazon for details..

Book: Design and Analysis of Shell Structures (Solid Mechanics and Its Applications)
Author: Mehdi Farshad
Hardcover: 440 pages
Publisher: Springer; 1 edition (September 30, 1992)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0792319508
ISBN-13: 978-0792319504

Brief description: Three aspects of shell analysis and design are presented: the Physical behaviour, the structural analysis, and the design of shells in a simple, integrated, and yet concise fashion. Thus, the book contains three major aspects of shell engineering: (1) physical understanding of shell behaviour; (2) use of applied shell theories; and (3) development of design methodologies together with shell design examples.
The theoretical tools required for rational analysis of shells are kept at a modest level to give a sound grasp of the fundamentals of shell behaviour and, at the same time, an understanding of the related theory, allowing it to be applied to actual design problems. To achieve a physical understanding of complex shell behaviour, quantitative presentations are supplemented by qualitative discussions so that the reader can grasp the `physical feeling' of shell behaviour. A number of analysis and detailed design examples are also worked out in various chapters, making the book a useful reference manual.

Thanks in advance,

Psy.
