Structural Behavior of Asphalt Pavements provides engineers and researchers with a detailed guide to the structural behavioral dynamics of asphalt pavement including: pavement temperature distribution, mechanistic response of pavement structure under the application of heavy vehicles, distress mechanism of pavement, and pavement deterioration performance and dynamic equations.
An authoritative guide for understanding the key mechanisms for creating longer lasting pavements, Structural Behavior of Asphalt Pavements describes the intrinsic consistency between macroscopic performance and microscopic response, structure and material, as well as global and local performances, and demonstrates the process of pavement analyses and designs, approaching science from empirical analyses.

This book presents a rigorous treatment of the fundamental, mathematical behaviour of pavement structures under dynamic loading. The topic is of growing importance in economic design of aircraft runways and highway pavements. A range of modelling approaches are presented and compared with experimental data.

Bridge Engineering: Classifications, Design Loading, and Analysis Methods begins with a clear and concise exposition of theory and practice of bridge engineering, design and planning, materials and construction, loads and load distribution, and deck systems. This is followed by chapters concerning applications for bridges, such as: Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete Bridges, Steel Bridges, Truss Bridges, Arch Bridges, Cable Stayed Bridges, Suspension Bridges, Bridge Piers, and Bridge Substructures. In addition, the book addresses issues commonly found in inspection, monitoring, repair, strengthening, and replacement of bridge structures.

Introduced two weeks prior to the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, the ATC-20 report provides procedures and guidelines for making on-the-spot evaluations and decisions regarding continued use and occupancy of earthquake damaged buildings. Written specifically for volunteer structural engineers and building inspectors, the report has become the de-facto national standard for safety evaluation of earthquake-damaged buildings. The report includes rapid and detailed evaluation procedures for inspecting buildings and posting them as INSPECTED (apparently safe, green placard), LIMITED ENTRY (yellow placard) or UNSAFE (red placard). Also included are special procedures for evaluation of essential buildings (e.g., hospitals), evaluation procedures for nonstructural elements and geo-technical hazards, and guidance on human behavior following earthquakes.

STAAD.Pro CONNECT Edition Update 2 (21.00.02.44) is the latest version of the world's leading analysis and design application.
The CONNECT Edition release introduced a complete new modeling system for creating physical models that provides a more structured method for interop with the greater construction processes including models with surfaces. Additionally, the analysis solvers were built with 64-bit technology providing extra capability to solve larger more complex problems. More design code capability than ever is offered and principal design codes, used for the design of beams, columns, and slabs other than STAAD nuclear and STAAD Advanced Concrete Design are now included at no extra expense. Complimentary offerings can still be added such as STAAD Foundation Advanced and RAM Connection to provide a more comprehensive solution depending on your business demands.
With Update 2 the AISC and ACI design routines have been updated to the 2016 and 2014 versions of the US steel and concrete design codes and a new dynamic Wind load routine and an all new output viewer that matches the extensive capabilities of the new Editor.

STAAD Foundation Advanced CONNECT Edition 08.04.00.21
Size: 493 MB
A part of the STAAD family of products, STAAD Foundation Advanced can import and update the geometry, loads, and reactions from a STAAD.Pro model after which it will design the foundation type that we want at those supports. If the type happens to be a pilecap, it can determine a number of pile arrangements and design the pilecap for the arrangment that we choose. Data can also be brought from spreadsheets (e.g., such as that in Microsoft Office Excel®) into STAAD Foundation Advanced.
For mat foundation designs, STAAD Foundation Advanced creates a finite element model of the mat slab on grade. Soil is treated as spring supports whose stiffness is determined based on the size of the elements of the FE mesh. The model is then analyzed using STAAD.Pro, and, design of the slab is performed by aggregating the results across elements that are clustered into design strips.
In addition to the benefits that interoperability with STAAD.Pro provides, the program also functions in a standalone mode.

Lynda.com - Construction Management - Introduction to Lean Construction
Publisher: Lynda.com
Peresented By: Jim Rogers
Year: 2018
Format: mp4
Duration: 01:02:00
Size: 251 MB
Quality: DVDRip
While manufacturing has realized substantial gains in productivity, the construction industry hasn't seen notable improvements in productivity over the past few decades. Lean productivity—a tried and tested continual improvement process leveraged in manufacturing—contains elements that lend themselves to being ported over to the construction process. In this course, explore the lean theory of production and learn how it can be successfully adopted in construction to enhance efficiency. Instructor Jim Rogers provides a brief introduction to the theory of lean productivity, describing key concepts and explaining how lean applies to construction. Jim then spells out the changes that need to occur in order for lean to be successfully adopted in the construction industry.
Topics include:
- What is lean?
- Embracing lean productivity
- Construction vs. manufacturing
- How does lean apply to construction?
- Identifying and minimizing waste
- Training and empowering front-line field personnel
- Understanding the pull planning method
- Continuous improvement
