Product Description:
This book is a compilation of 540 photographs and paintings of Qing Dynasty architecture that appeared in Western publications currently housed in the Peking University Library. The collection is categorized into 18 chapters, such as city walls and gates, pagodas, archways, guild houses, churches, streets, and bridges. These photographs and paintings present a visual introduction to the modes and styles of Chinese architecture built before and during the Qing Dynasty. Besides mirroring the various social upheavals in China during the late Qing Dynasty, the photographs also reflect the Sino Western cultural interactions and military encounters then. This is shown in photographs of armed foreign troops standing guard on the city walls of Nanjing and the triumphant parade of the German military motorcade along a street in Qingdao. In conclusion, this book is useful as a visual reference for researching the architectural evolution during the Qing Dynasty and also provides a fresh and multi-faceted perspective on China's political, social, cultural, and economic landscapes then.

This steel detailing manual has been prepared to provide practical and up to date information on various aspects of steel construction for educators, designers, draughtsmen, detailers, fabricators and all others who have an interest in structural steelwork.
The text covers the full scope of structural detailing in the UK, Europe and the USA. The text covers the fundamentals of drawing, continuing with draughting practice and connections, the types of fastenings and the conventional methods of detailing components. Individual case studies are included.
The types of structure covered represent the bulk of the typical fabricator’s work in commercial and industrial buildings, bridges, tanks, hydraulic and offshore structures and power structures. Examples of steel detailing in CAD format are included in some of the chapters.
Many of the drawings included are typical and, with minimal alteration, can be adopted directly from the book and attached to individual drawings based on a special code.
This book should serve both as a primer for trainee detailers and as a reference manual for more experienced personnel. Engineers, architects and contractors will find the book useful for daily use and practice.

This book is intended as a design guide for practitioners and advanced students with a sound knowledge of structural design who are not expert in seismic aspects of design, and perhaps are encountering the problem for the first time. Earthquake engineering is a vast subject and the intention of this book is not to provide a fully comprehensive treatment of all its aspects. Rather, it is to provide the practising engineer with an understanding of those aspects of the subject that are important when designing buildings in earthquake country, with references to sources of more detailed information where necessary. Many of the principles discussed
also apply to the design of non-building structures, such as bridges or telecommunications towers, but the scope of this book is restricted to buildings.
Although earthquakes do not respect national boundaries, the practice of earthquake engineering does vary significantly between regions, and this is reflected in the differing formats and requirements of national seismic codes. The book is intended to be more general than to describe the approach in just one code, although it reflects the experience of the authors, particularly of the European seismic code Eurocode 8 and of US codes. Japanese practice is in many ways very different, and is scarcely mentioned here.

API RP 686 -2009
Recommended Practice for Machinery Installation and Installation Design
This recommended practice (RP) is intended to provide recommended procedures, practices, and checklists for the installation and precommissioning of new, existing, and reapplied machinery and to assist with the installation design of such machinery for petroleum, chemical, and gas industry services facilities. In general, this RP is intended to supplement vendor instructions and the instructions provided by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) should be carefully followed with regard to equipment installation and checkout.
Most major topics of this RP are subdivided into sections of “Installation Design” and “Installation” with the intent being that each section can be removed and used as needed by the appropriate design or installation personnel.

In recent years an increasing emphasis has been placed on numerically based methods of structural analysis. This has been reflected in the production of structural mechanics texts that are orientated towards particular numerical methodologies, especially the finite element method. Whilst this approach serves the needs of potential research engineers, a concentration on the numerical analysis aspects of structural mechanics is of less relevance to professional engineers, who are likely to be concerned with the use and interpretation of numerical analyses, but not in the development of the methodologies.
It is to this group that Advanced Structural Mechanics is especially addressed.

Ultimate limit-state design of concrete structures - a new approach - M.Kotsovos,M.Pavlovic (1999)
ISBN: 0 7277 2665 X
The aim of the present book, is to introduce designers to the ‘compressive-force path’ method. Such an introduction not only includes the description of its underlying theoretical concepts and their application in practice but, also, presents the causes which led to the need for a new design methodology for the implementation of the limit-state philosophy into practical structural concrete design together with evidence — both experimental and analytical — supporting its validity. The book is divided into four chapters. Chapter 1 presents characteristic cases of structural concrete members, mostly designed in compliance with current code provisions, for which the behavior predicted by the methods implemented in such code provisions deviates excessively from that established by experiment. In Chapter 2, the results obtained from an investigation of the fundamental causes which led to the excessive deviations discussed in the preceding chapter are described. These results from Chapter 2 are summarized in Chapter 3 so as to then form the theoretical basis of the proposed design methodology. The latter is fully described in Chapter 4,
together with examples of its application in practical structural concrete design.

For a long time I am using this forum and I have notice that there are users who are doing programming (writing own subroutines). Also I am having many open source subroutines/programs and I do not know in which section to post them.
I would like to suggest you, surely if could be implemented into civilea forum, to be opened a new section under software topic named as "Codes" or other name where users can share codes.
I know that there is a section "Engineering Spreadsheet" but I think that is not appropriate place for this propose.
I know that for professional programmers there are many forums and of course I am using them. This is hard request because the topics that Civilea forum is dealing with will be too wide. But I think that such a section should exist.
I do hope that other civil engineering programmers will support my suggestion.
