Book Summary
The tension structures discussed in this book are predominantly roofing forms created from pre-stressed cable nets, cable trusses, and continuous membranes (fabric structures). A unique feature in their design is ?form-finding? ? an interactive process of defining the shape of a structure under tension. The book discusses the role of stable minimal surfaces (minimum energy forms occurring in natural objects, such as soap films) in finding optimal shapes of membrane and cable structures. The discussion of form-finding is extended to structural forms whose shape is supposedly known, such as suspension bridge cable

The Art of Structural Design: A Swiss Legacy
# Hardcover: 212 pages
# Publisher: Princeton University Art Museum (March 11, 2003)
# Language: English
# ISBN-10: 0300097867
# ISBN-13: 978-0300097863
Product Description
This handsomely designed book brings together for the first time the outstanding work of four Swiss engineers and their teachers who form the most impressive group of structural artists in the twentieth century: Wilhelm Ritter (1847–1906), Robert Maillart (1872–1940), Othmar Ammann (1879–1965), Pierre Lardy (1902–1956), Heinz Isler (b. 1926), and Christian Menn (b. 1927). David P. Billington, who has written widely on these engineers, argues that it is important to consider them as artists, for aesthetics played a major role in their design philosophy. He explains that their shared approach to design was developed while they attended the Federal Technological Institute in Zurich: Maillart and Amman studied with Ritter there, and Isler and Menn studied under Lardy. Billington focuses on the engineers’ artistic approach to bridge design and construction, and he discusses their impressive individual contributions to structural engineering. Generously illustrated, this book features many newly commissioned photographs, including images of important new structures such as the Charles River Bridge in Boston, completed by Menn in 2002.

More Info:
Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems (GDEs) frequently exhibit rich biological diversity and can provide enormous economic wealth. In recent years, GDEs in many industrialized countries have shown signs of serious degradation, primarily the result of groundwater abstraction and pollution. Many such systems, including a number of well documented cases in Eastern Europe, are no longer sustainable. As a consequence, the conservation and sustainable management of GDEs has emerged as one of the most urgent environmental research priorities of our time.
A large percentage of the world's population lives in cities and either depends on, or is affected in some way, by groundwater. Moreover, groundwater has become a very important and complex issue that attracts the interest of many diverse stakeholders. Many problems related to groundwater and ecosystems are shared by countries throughout the world and there is growing recognition that much can be gained by co-operation on an international scale.

Manual for the design of plain masonry in building structures to Eurocode 6
Author: BSI | Size: 0 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: The Institution of Structural Engineers | Year: February 2008 | pages: 136 | ISBN: 9781906335021
The Institution has published the Manual for the design of plain masonry in building structures to Eurocode 6, a new book based on the European standards for masonry structural designs in the UK.
This manual supports the design of structures to BS EN 1996-1-1: 2005, BS EN 1996-1-2: 2005 and BS EN 1996-2: 2006 for construction in the UK.
Nationally Determined Parameters from the UK National Annex have been taken into account in the design formulae that are presented.
The range of structures covered by the manual is limited to building structures that do not rely on bending in masonry for their overall stability (e.g. sway frame buildings).
However, the design of individual masonry elements subject to lateral loading and involving bending for their resistance is included.
The structural design of reinforced and prestressed masonry is specifically excluded from the manual, as are retaining walls and arched structures.
The exception to this is the use of bed joint reinforcement in laterally loaded wall panels and for crack control.
The design of both loadbearing masonry and masonry infill panels to framed structures in accordance with Eurocode 6 is covered by the manual.
The manual is similar in layout to the Institution's earlier manuals on British standards and covers the following:
- choice of structural form (conceptual design)
- choice of materials
- general principles of limit state design for masonry walls and columns
- design of loadbearing masonry
- design of laterally loaded masonry
- details and construction
- design for fire.
