Hi, Im new here. I need help from people here about progressive collapse. I know there is GSA Progressive collapse but I need guide to really understand this GSA code and how to produce analysis using software such as STAADPro. Thanks in advance,,
I'm looking for any kind of publications (journal, magazine, e-book, ...) related to the concrete (concrete structural elements or just concrete as a material) deformations (damage, cracks, ruptures, ...) due to high temperatures/ wildfire/ conflagration. Any kind of informations are welcome. Publications related to the fire exposed concrete in existing buildings are welcome as well.
Conventional materials, such as nickel based alloys, will not be able to match the required performance specifications for the future generation of high temperature materials. This book reviews the characteristics and potential of a wide range of candidate superalloy replacements, such as ceramics, intermetallics, and their composites. Particular attention is devoted to the problems of processing and design with these materials.

Dear Fellows,
I'm attaching detailed pictures of an electricity transmission tower. The tower is basically a steel structre and attached pictures are showing its bolt details, gusset plates, joints etc. There are more than 60 pictures in the attachment and only main picture is shown as a direct link. Hope it'll be helpful for you people.
Regards.

Product Description
This series comprises works on subjects of topical interest in the broad field of concrete technology. Written or edited by international authorities, the books should appeal to engineers, consultants, academics, students and others involved in this area. This volume provides a state-of-the-art perspective on concrete bridge design, construction and maintenance. The author focuses on the concepts not usually covered in standard works such as, the appreciation of aesthetic form and the protection of the natural environment. These are subjects which play an important part in the understanding of the design and construction of concrete bridges but which are very often overlooked. The text provides new information on the vital topics of inspection, testing, assessment and rapair and offers an international perspective, providing case studies from around the world. It takes into account recent amendments in BS5400 and also provides an historical summary of bridge building. It is aimed at practising engineers in the design and construction industry, architects and professionals involved with the design and construction industries.

Product Description
Focusing on the conceptual and preliminary stages in bridge design, this book addresses the new conceptual criteria employed when evaluating project proposals, considering elements from architectural aspects and structural aesthetics to environmental compatibility.

Esthetics in Concrete Bridge Design, ACI MP-1
Editors: Steward C Watson, M.K. Hurd
1990
In the present age of heightened public awareness, bridge design engineers can no longer be allowed to limit their activity to static calculations and monitoring of construction. The public will not permit us to create unattractive structures. After a bridge is constructed it actually changes its particular part of the environment for 50 years or longer. There is a growing perception that ugly bridges actually are a form of pollution and in fact seem to breed discontent and despair.
The selection of a bridge design--whether the most attractive, the best for its structural qualities, or the most economical for the pUblic--is often in the hands of those who are not specialists in bridge design. with this in mind ACI committee 124, Concrete
Esthetics, decided to try to identify the fundamentals of bridge esthetics, which could be shared among decision makers and professionals alike. We searched worldwide, asking distinguished members of the bridge design fraternity as well as their architectural counterparts to help us in this task. The result was four symposium sessions presented at ACI conventions, two in Seattle, Washington on November 12-13, 1987, and two in Orlando, Florida March 24, 1988. These proceedings constitute the record of the symposia where the question was addressed. In approving the papers for publication, committee
124 waived the peer review process usually followed for ACI symposium volumes. The reason for this decision is that the content is highly subjective, nondimensional, and generally not quantitative. This reflects the nature of esthetics as a branch of philosophy and respects each writer's right to expression of a personal point of view. critiques or criticism may be appropriate as discussion later, but they have not been used to influence authors of these invited papers to change their drafts.
Information contained in these proceedings indicates the present state of the art. It is hoped
that it will serve to time-bind this generation of bridge designers and builders to those generations to come. If we have been successful in this endeavor, then all the hard work of the many people involved will have been worthwhile.
