Steel has, over centuries, played a crucial role in shaping our material, and in particular, urban landscapes. This books undertakes a cultural and ecological history of the material, examining the relationship between steel and design at a micro and macro level – in terms of both what it has been used to design and how it has functioned as a 'world-making force'.
The research for the book is informed by diverse sources including industry journals, contemporary accounts and technical literature – all framed by rich, early accounts of iron and steel making from the middle ages to the opening of the industrial age, and most notably, the crucial works of Vannoccio Biringuccio, Georgius Agricola, Andrew Ure and Harry Scrivenor.
In contrast, trans-cultural accounts of the history of metallurgy from eminent sinologists and cultural historians like Joseph Needham and G.E.R. Lloyd are used. Readings on the pre-history and history of science, as well as histories and philosophies technology from scholars such as Siegfried Giedion, Merritt Roe Smith, L.T.C Rolt, Robert B. Gordon inform the analysis. Social and economic history from historians such as Eric Hobsbawn, William T. Hogan and David Brody are consulted; labour process theory is also examined, particularly the influential writings of F.W. Taylor in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and his contemporary critics, like David Nobel and Harry Braverman. Many other disciples also inform the account: histories of urban design and architecture, transport and military history, environmental history and geography.

An introductory textbook covering the fundamentals of linear finite element analysis (FEA)
This book constitutes the first volume in a two-volume set that introduces readers to the theoretical foundations and the implementation of the finite element method (FEM). The first volume focuses on the use of the method for linear problems. A general procedure is presented for the finite element analysis (FEA) of a physical problem, where the goal is to specify the values of a field function. First, the strong form of the problem (governing differential equations and boundary conditions) is formulated. Subsequently, a weak form of the governing equations is established. Finally, a finite element approximation is introduced, transforming the weak form into a system of equations where the only unknowns are nodal values of the field function. The procedure is applied to one-dimensional elasticity and heat conduction, multi-dimensional steady-state scalar field problems (heat conduction, chemical diffusion, flow in porous media), multi-dimensional elasticity and structural mechanics (beams/shells), as well as time-dependent (dynamic) scalar field problems, elastodynamics and structural dynamics. Important concepts for finite element computations, such as isoparametric elements for multi-dimensional analysis and Gaussian quadrature for numerical evaluation of integrals, are presented and explained. Practical aspects of FEA and advanced topics, such as reduced integration procedures, mixed finite elements and verification and validation of the FEM are also discussed.
Fundamentals of Finite Element Analysis: Linear Finite Element Analysis is an ideal text for undergraduate and graduate students in civil, aerospace and mechanical engineering, finite element software vendors, as well as practicing engineers and anybody with an interest in linear finite element analysis.

Practical Guide to Grouting of Underground Structures
Author(s)/Editor(s): Raymond W. Henn | Size: 9 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Scanner | Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers | Year: 1996 | pages: 191 | ISBN: 978-0-7844-1132-2 / 978-0-7844-7355-9
This guide presents a hands-on discussion of grouting fundamentals and provides a foundation for the development of practical specifications and field procedures. With a pragmatic approach to the subject of grouting, Henn concentrates on types of drilling, mixing, and pumping equipment, as well as their application. The book focuses on how cementitious grouting is used in conjunction with the excavation and lining of tunnels, shafts, and underground caverns in rock. Overviews of cementitious grouting in soils and chemical grouting are also provided. Topics range from record keeping to quality control and testing requirements to field operations, and production rates.
This book is written as a useful handbook for engineers, construction supervisors, inspectors, and other professionals involved in the planning, design, and implementation of underground grouting programs.

The Tower and the Bridge: The New Art of Structural Engineering
Author(s)/Editor(s): David P. Billington | Size: 47 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Scanner | Publisher: Princeton University Press | Year: 1985 | pages: 328 | ISBN: 069102393X / 978-0691023939
What do structures such as the Eiffel Tower, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the concrete roofs of Pier Luigi Nervi have in common? According to this book, now in its first paperback edition, all are striking examples of structural art, an exciting form distinct from either architecture or machine design. Aided by a number of stunning illustrations, David Billington discusses leading structural engineer-artists, such as John A. Roebling, Gustave Eiffel, Fazlur Khan, and Robert Maillart.

Sponsored by the Technical Council on Forensic Engineering of ASCE.
This report provides a one-stop reference of failures in steel structures, along with considerations for preventing them. The versatility of structural steel allows it to perform outstandingly in countless applications. However, repeated failures associated with fracture and/or fatigue mechanisms including, notably, the 1994 Northridge earthquake, the 1995 Kobe earthquake, and the I-35W Mississippi River Bridge collapse in Minneapolis in 2007 highlighted concerns for the life of bridge structures, particularly with regard to fatigue and corrosion.
Although problems with fatigue and brittle have been well documented, these factors and issues have not yielded state-of-the-art design practices. This book gives engineers a better understanding of steel, its limitations, and its applications, in order to reduce brittle and fatigue failures.
This book will be a valuable resource for structural engineers, as well as professionals involved in bridge construction, design, and maintenance.
