This book is about how local public transport can be made a less unacceptable alternative to the private car than it is now. It is intended for officials, politicians and others interested in the land use/local transport conundrum. It is also valuable to town planners, those working for passenger transport authorities and anyone concerned with policy making and project appraisal for local public transport

Alternative Materials for the Reinforcement and Prestressing of Concrete
The book is intended for all those concerned with concrete structures in aggressive environments—as owners, specifiers or designers—who wish to ensure adequate durability. It should be of most interest to bridge and highway authorities, and to those concerned with marine, coastal and harbour works, chemical works and water supply or drainage. Above all, it should widen the
scope for designers by offering viable alternatives to conventional steel in concrete.

This book covers the little known structural and architectural concept, design and construction of reciprocal frames, and is the first authoritive book of its kind, with an exhaustive coverage of a multitude of types. A simple description of reciprocal frames is ‘a structure made up of mutually supporting beams in a closed circuit’ – quite a good definition without a diagram or model. I have a six-membered timber model, made by Dr Popovic, which beautifully illustrates the simple principles. History has many examples – Serlio, da Vinci and Villard de Honnecourt – but these early ones were all planar examples. Here a huge variety of
types are analysed and illustrated.
This is a specialist’s book, with perhaps a limited appeal to architects and engineers at the forefront of thinking, but is fascinating as a treatise on an unusual structural system. Its content and scope are incredibly comprehensive, particularly on its extensive coverage of the many buildings in Japan, where the majority of the research was carried out. A ‘mind blowing’ book, which I am sure will lead to more exploration of ‘reciprocal frame structures’ in the future.

The post contains some useful 3d steel detailing with annotations. Those who want to draw 3d steel details might form their detail by using and modifying one of these details. They might be good start points for lots of details.

Use of Composite Materials in Civil Infrastructure in Japan
Author: Vistasp M. Karbhari
Affiliation: Assistant Professor, University of California, San Diego
INTRODUCTION
For over 10 years now, the Japanese have pioneered the use of advanced fibers and polymer composites, initially within Japan itself, and more recently in Europe, Asia and the United States. Although the economic competitiveness of individual products may be unknown or questionable, each application provides a unique advantage because of the intrinsic properties of composites. Listing the reasons behind the rapid development and growth of these activities in Japan can shed light on why such advances have not taken place in the United States at the same rate, despite efforts (although isolated in most cases until recently) in similar areas
