Concrete is an integral part of twenty-first century structural engineering and an understanding of how to analyse and design concrete structures is a vital element in the subject.
With Eurocodes having replaced European national standards it’s important to get to know the new codes which, for most countries, are more complex than before.
Newly revised to Eurocode 2, this second edition retains the original’s emphasis on qualitative understanding of the overall behaviour of concrete
structures.
A unique feature of the new edition is a whole chapter on case studies. This provides a unique insight into the way a structure is put together and the alternative structural schemes that are considered in the early stages of design.
The concept has been used very successfully in a Problem Based Learning environment at University College Dublin.
Groups of students are assigned case study problems, and after a few days they present their solutions to expert judges who give feedback
on the practicalities of their chosen solutions.
This highlight of the undergraduate experience teaches the students communication as well as design skills.
This book provides civil and structural engineering students and graduates with complete coverage of the analysis and design of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures.
Great emphasis is placed on developing a qualitative understanding of the overall behaviour of structures and on bringing together all the strands in the design process – load paths, developing a structural scheme,
preliminary sizing, analysis and detailed design.

Matrix Methods of Structural Analysis presents how concepts and notations of matrix algebra can be applied to arriving at general systematic approach to structure analysis.
The book describes the use of matrix notation in structural analysis as being theoretically both compact and precise, but also, quite general. The text also presents, from the practical point of view, matrix notation as providing a systematic approach to the analysis of structures related to computer programming. Matrix algebraic methods are useful in repeated calculations where manual work becomes tedious. The Gaus-Seidel method and linear programming are two methods to use in solving simultaneous equations. The book then describes the notation for loads and displacements, on sign conventions, stiffness and flexibility matrices, and equilibrium and compatibility conditions. The text discusses the formulation of the equilibrium method using connection matrices and an alternative method. The book evaluates the compatibility method as programmed in a computer; and it discusses the analysis of a pin-jointed truss and of a rigid-jointed truss. The book presents some problems when using computers for analyzing structures, such as decision strategy, accuracy, and checks conducted on handling large matrices. The text also analyzes structures that behave in a non-linear manner.
The book is suitable for structural engineers, physicist, civil engineers, and students of architectural design.

One of the primary objectives of this code is to define the allowable capacities used in sheet steel applications in which transfer of calculated load occurs. The foremost examples of such applications are steel decks, panels, storage racks, and stud and joist framing members. It is a concurrent objective of this code to impose \Vorkmanship, technique, and qualification requirements so as to effect consistently sound execution of \velding of joints in these categories.
Certain shielded 1netal arc, gas 1netal arc, gas tungsten, gas metal arc, and flux cored arc welding procedure specifications (WPSs) when used with certain types of joints, have been tested by users and have a history of satisfaction perfonnance. These WPSs are designated as prequalified, may be en1ployed \vithout further evidence, and include 1nost of those that are co1nn1only used. However, the purpose of defining prequalified WPSs is not to preclude the use of other WPSs as they are qualified.
When other processes, WPSs, or joints are proposed, they are subject to the applicable provisions of this code and shall be qualified by tests. The obligation is placed on the contractor to prepare WPSs and qualify them before production use.
All WPSs (prequalified and qualified) must include the classification of the filler metal, its size, and for each type ofv.1eld, its melting rate or other suitable means of current control indicative of the melting rate, as applicable. The requirements for the qualification of v.1elders and welding operators are also given. A Welder qualification test requires each welder to prove their ability to produce satisfactory welds using prequalified or qualified WPSs.
Although this code is essentially directed at those joints that are used to transfer loads, the quality of welds \vhere strength is not a govenling consideration should 1neet quality standards that will 1naintain the integrity of the supporting structure. The allov.1able capacity provisions of Clause 4 could be disregarded when the ,velds are not used in a loadcarrying capacity.

Prevention of tank bottom leakage A guide for the design and repair of foundations and bottoms of vertical, cylindrical, steel storage tanks
EEMUA PUBLICATION 183
Edition 2
ISBN 978 0 85931 183 0
The prevention of ground and ground water pollution from leaking storage tanks containing oil or chemical feedstocks or products is of primary importance, particularly in areas with a large number of storage facilities. Where such facilities are near to rivers and other waterways there is an additional risk of pollution being spread and affecting a wider natural environment. Also, leakage is a financial loss to the owner.
GUIDE FOR THE DESIGN, CONSTRUCTON AND USE OF MOUNDED HORIZONTAL CYLINDRICAL STEEL VESSELS FOR PRESSURISED STORAGE OF LPG AT AMBIENT TEMPERATURES.
EEMUA PUBLICATON No. 190 : 2000 (Ammdt2004)
ISBN 085931 071 X
The integrity of a pressure vessel depends on both its strength and the adequacy of the supporting foundation or structure. For vessels on earth foundations, with their inherent proneness to settlement, this aspect is of greater importance than for those more conventionally supported. For this reason, considerable coverage is given in this guide to soil investigation and foundation design.

Rules of Thumb Guidelines for building services (5th Edition)
BSRIA BG 9/2011
As a construction project progresses from a client’s statement of need, through design and construction, and into operation and use, project teams seek increased certainty of criteria such as layout, fit, cost and performance. Rules of Thumb, such as those contained in this publication, can provide extremely useful guidance to inform the early stages of this process, such as briefing, feasibility studies and concept design. This may be in the assessment of space and weight requirements, the preparation of outline cost models, the configuration of nvironmental performance targets or the evaluation of heating, cooling and electrical loads, for example. Furthermore, Rules of Thumb can be employed throughout the project delivery process to sense-check precise calculations, quickly verify the work of junior construction professionals and rapidly perform what-if scenarios for different design options.
