A recent study by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) revealed that more than half of the Army buildings located in high or moderate seismic zones did not meet current seismic code requirements and were found vulnerable to damage during an earthquake.
One rehabilitation technique that addresses vulnerabilities in both the masonry infills and in nonductile concrete frames is the use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP). ERDC/CERL investigated the effectiveness of such a technique by conducting an experimental program on reinforced concrete (R/C) frames infilled with masonry. Based on this research and related research in the field, this report was developed to provide in-depth guidelines for engineers and practitioners on how to evaluate the strength and stiffness of R/C members and masonry-infilled frames strengthened with FRP.
This document uses the same nomenclature used in ACI 440, Guide for the Design and Construction of Externally Bonded FRP Systems for Strengthening Concrete Structures, when possible. Major contributions that go beyond ACI 440 include guidance on:
• FRP systems that have nonlinear stress-strain behavior
• flexural strength of R/C members fully wrapped with FRP and containing
compression steel reinforcement
• moment-curvature relationships for beams
• compressive strength of noncircular R/C members
• thrust-moment interaction behavior for columns
• strength and stiffness of masonry-infilled frames with FRP overlay
• global structural system performance evaluation using nonlinear pushover
analysis.

EN ISO 14688 - Geotechnical investigation and testing - Identification and classification of soil
EN ISO 14688-1:2003 Geotechnical investigation and testing - Identification and classification of soil - Part 1: Identification and description (ISO 14688-1:2002)
The general principles for the identification and classification of soils on the basis of the material and mass characteristics most commonly used for soils for engineering purposes.
EN ISO 14688-2:2006 Geotechnical investigation and testing - Identification and classification of soil - Part 2: Principles for a classification (ISO 14688-2:2004)
This standard establishes together with ISO 14688-1 the basic principles for the identification and classification of soils on the basis of those material and mass characteristics most commonly used for soils for engineering purposes. The characteristics relevant may vary and so, for particular projects or materials, more detailed subdivisions of the descriptive and classification terms may be appropriate.The classification system established in this standard permits soils to be grouped into classes of similar composition and geotechnical properties, and with respect to their suitability for geotechnical engineering purposes, such as: foundations, ground improvements, construction material for roads, construction material for embankments, construction material for dams, construction material for drainage systems.The field of application of this standard is natural soil and similar man-made material in situ and redeposited.

C.Reviews

"Wiley's latest may lay claim to being the most inclusive - both in breadth and depth - with this excellent reference. Kutz has successfully sought to include more "authoritative discussions, real-world examples, and insightful analyses. It is the addition of this extra text that will find appreciative readers, especially those relatively new to a topic." (American Reference Books Annual, 2008)
