Design of Slabs on Grade - Reported by ACI Committee 360
This document presents information on the design of slabs on grade, primarily
industrial floors and the slabs adjacent to them. The report addresses
the planning, design, and detailing of the slabs. Background information
on design theories is followed by discussion of the soil support
system, loadings, and types of slabs. Design methods are given for plain
concrete, reinforced concrete, shrinkage-compensating concrete, and post tensioned
concrete s l a b s , followed by information on shrinkage and curling
problems. Design examples appear in an appendix.

Irrigation Systems: Design, Planning and Construction
A Laycock - Irrigation Systems: Design, Planning and Construction
Publisher: CABI | 2007-11-24 | ISBN: 1845932633 | PDF | 320 pages | 10.37 MB
Of all the confrontations man has engineered with nature, irrigation systems have had the most widespread and far-reaching impact on the natural environment. Over a quarter of a billion hectares of the planet are irrigated and entire countries depend on irrigation for their survival and existence. Considering the importance of irrigation schemes, it is unfortunate that until recently the technology and principles of design applied to their construction has hardly changed in 4,000 years. Modern thinking on irrigation engineering has benefited from a cross-fertilization of ideas from many other fields including social sciences, control theory, political economics and agriculture. However, these influences have been largely ignored by irrigation engineers.
Drawing on almost 40 years of experience of irrigation in the developing world, Laycock introduces new ideas on the design of irrigation systems and combines important issues from the disciplines of social conflict, management, and political thinking.

Wind Loading - A Practical Guide to Wind Loads on Buildings
Wind Loading: A Practical Guide to BS 6399-2
By Nicholas Cook
Publisher: Thomas Telford Publishing
Number Of Pages: 150
Publication Date: 1999-01-01
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0727727559
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780727727558
Product Description:
All buildings in the UK must now adhere to the recently published wind code BS 6399-2. The introduction of a new code is often traumatic, especially so in this case,as the previous code has been in place for 25 years.
The author's considerable practical knowledge of wind engineering, together with his involvement in drafting this standard and his experience in conducting workshops on this subject make him the ideal person to convey the strengths and weaknesses of BS 6399-2 in this guide. Following recent amendments to BS 6399-2 (2002) this popular guide has been revised.

NCHRP Report 628 Self-Consolidating Concrete for Precast, Prestressed Concrete Bridge Elements
Published by Transportation Research Board
ISSN 00775614
ISBN 9780309117661
Year 2009
Pages 99
This report presents recommended guidelines for the use of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) in precast, prestressed concrete bridge elements. These guidelines address the selection of constituent materials, proportioning of concrete mixtures, testing methods, fresh and hardened concrete properties, production and quality control issues, and other aspects of SCC. The report also presents recommended changes to the AASHTO Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) Bridge Design and Construction Specifications, and test protocols for evaluating some of the properties of SCC. The information contained in the report will guide materials and bridge engineers in evaluating, selecting, and specifying SCC mixtures for use in precast, prestressed concrete bridge elements, thereby facilitating fabrication, improving working environment and safety, and reducing cost. The information contained in the report will be of immediate interest to state materials and bridge engineers and others involved in specifying and evaluating concrete mixtures for use in highway bridges.

NCHRP Synthesis 360 Rock-Socketed Shafts for Highway Structure Foundations (A Synthesis of Highway Practice)
NCHRP SYNTHESIS 360
Published by Transportation Research Board
ISSN 05475570
ISBN 0309097681
Year 2006
Pages 145
This synthesis collected, reviewed, and organized the most salient aspects of this knowledge and experience to present it in a form useful to foundation designers, researchers, contractors, and transportation officials. The objectives of this report were to collect and summarize information on current practices pertaining to each step of the design process, along with the limitations; identify emerging and promising technologies; determine the principal challenges in advancing the state of the practice; and provide suggestions for future developments and improvements in the use and design of rock-socketed shafts.
For this TRB synthesis report a literature review was conducted on all topics related to drilled shaft in rock or intermediate geomaterials. A questionnaire was developed and distributed to the principal geotechnical and structural engineers of U.S. state and Canadian provincial transportation agencies. Questions were grouped into the following categories: use of rock-socketed shafts by the agency, evaluation of rock and intermediate geomaterials, design methods for axial loading, design methods for lateral loading, structural design, construction, and field load and integrity testing.
