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.

Theoretical Foundation Engineering (SAME AS THE BOOK ON GOOGLEBOOKS)
# Paperback: 440 pages
# Publisher: Elsevier Science Publishers B.V., Amsterdam, 1987
# Language: English
# ISBN-10: 1932159711
# ISBN-13: 978-193215971
Product Description
Theoretical Foundation Engineering provides in-depth reviews of the existing literature on lateral earth pressure, sheet pile walls, ultimate bearing capacity of shallow foundations, holding capacity of plate and helical anchors in sand and clay, and slope stability analysis. The discussion of the ultimate bearing capacity of shallow foundations is comprehensive, and the review of earth anchors is unique to this book. The treatment is primarily theoretical and does not compete with existing foundation design books. It will be welcomed as a useful reference by graduate students of geotechnical engineering and consultants in the field and will be a valuable addition to any civil engineering library.

Product Description
Retaining structures form an important component of many civil engineering and geotechnical engineering projects, and careful design and construction of these structures is essential for safety and longevity. In this edition, all sections have been carefully updated and improved to take account of recent developments and improvements in our understanding of soil behaviour and design requirements.

For your information, I am beginner to start using CSC Orion v15. when i try to click model and analysis results display it appear this message "Model (GMgeo) cannot be found"
There is a Phd competition at my faculty in Serbia - 3 people will get a free Phd course (the course lasts 3 years). The topics are already made by professors, mainly are crap related to some architectural bulshit (public space trough history, buidlings and it's design bla, bla). Only one of them is by my opinio the best among others:
"Lightweight three dimensional grid load bearing structures (space frames) and their relationship with architecture."
Can you just give me any indication, what can this be about? From architectural point of view, probably the most significant concept will be aestherical part. But as I stated before, I find this as a bullshit (and regret I finished architecture instead of civil engineering, I was just not well informed).
So the "potential" is a broad and vague term. I could say that the potentials of space frames in civil engineering and architectural are, that:
light, fully prefabricated, easy to assemble and erect, light and convinient for transport, can cover of huge spans and indoor spaces, material savers etc.
I know how to write a thesis (methodology, theoretical orientetion, research study, sources, materials, advantages and disadvantages of this system etc). And there are also a lot of thesis examples at our faculty library. Also I have downloaded the "How to write a Phd thesis" here from forum.
But what would be the main thing to focus on researching and doing the Phd thesis with this title in the following 3 years?
Any ideas?
