This new edition of an informative and accessible book guides building surveyors and facilities managers through the key aspects of property maintenance and continues to be of value to both students and practitioners.
With the increasing cost of new-build, effective maintenance of existing building stock is becoming ever more important and building maintenance work now represents nearly half of total construction output in the UK.
Building Maintenance Management provides a comprehensive profile of the many aspects of property maintenance. This second edition has been updated throughout, with sections on outsourcing; maintenance planning; benchmarking and KPIs; and current trends in procurement routes (including partnering and the growth of PFI) integrated into the text. There is also a new chapter on the changing context within which maintenance is carried out, largely concerned with its relationship to facilities management. More coverage is given of maintenance organisations and there are major updates to relevant aspects of health and safety and to contract forms.

Can anyone tell me what would be the best approach to compute the ground peak acceleration (Agmax) for a potential liquefaction project I am working on.
The Way I compute Agmax is using Donovan´s Approach (1973) in which Agmax is function of EQ magnitude and epicenter. This is the only approach I know but I am not sure if this is the most widely accepted / used.
If anyone got any imput about this, please let me know.
Very Very Sorry If I am writing in the wrong section, as I am new userm please forgive me.
I am PG student in Structural Engineering in India, I am currently engaged in the preparation of my final-year dissertation, regarding the applications of IS 1893 Part 4 : 2005 & the seismic behavior & aseismic design of tall reinforced concrete chimneys.
All please note that I am stuck with the unavailability of some of the technical literature.
Please, find the list of the technical papers,which I am in very much need of:

Again, please upload any relevant literature pertaining to the use of IS 1893 Part 4 2005 & ACI 307-08 with reference to seismic analysis & aseismic design of reinforced concrete chimneys
Please I request all of you, to help me out with these findings.
I pray to the All Mighty God to bless to all those to help me; as I got no temptations to offer in these matters.
4th Asian Rock Mechanics Symposium 8-10 November 2006 Singapore
Rock Mechanics in Underground Construction: Isrm International Symposium 2006 4th Asian Rock Mechanics Symposium 8-10 November 2006 Singapore
By C. F. Leung, Y. X. Zhou
Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Company
Number Of Pages: 528
Publication Date: 2006-11-06
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 981270437X
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9789812704375
Binding: Hardcover
Product Description:
This proceedings volume contains over 300 papers on rock mechanics and engineering with contributors from all over Asia and many other parts of the world. Seven keynote papers summarize the state-of-the-art in rock engineering including topics such as underground rock caverns. The technical papers cover a wide range of rock mechanics and engineering topics such as: rock tunnels, caverns, mining, rock slopes and dams, rock blasting, rock burst and failure, rock properties, rock mass, rock joints, and block theory. Numerous valuable rock engineering case studies are also reported. This volume should serve as a useful reference for the engineers and researchers in rock mechanics and rock engineering.

Earthquake Spectra, the professional journal of the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI),
is published quarterly in both printed and online editions in February, May, August, and November.
The printed edition is sent to EERI members as part of their membership benefits.
EERI established Earthquake Spectra with the purpose of improving the practice of earthquake hazards mitigation, preparedness, and recovery.
It is intended to serve the informational needs of the diverse professionals engaged in
earthquake loss reduction: civil, geotechnical, mechanical, and structural engineers; geologists, seismologists,
and other earth scientists; architects and city planners; public officials; social scientists; and researchers in all these disciplines.
Spectra serves as the publication of record for the development of earthquake engineering practice, earthquake codes and regulations,
earthquake public policy, and earthquake investigation reports. Manuscripts published in Earthquake Spectra are peer reviewed.
Periodically, EERI publishes special issues of Earthquake Spectra, either as theme issues or as reconnaissance reports on major earthquakes.

Product Description:
Spanish Colonial missions and Mexican rancho and pueblo adobe structures are among California's earliest existing structures and the only above-ground remains of the state's original settlement by the Spanish and Mexican people. The Northridge earthquake brought about tragic losses to a number of these historic buildings. It also provided a rare opportunity to assess the damage that can occur as the result of a large earthquake. As part of the Getty Conservation Institute's commitment to researching conservation measures for adobe structures, this study surveys the damage to the buildings and evaluates their seismic performance. The ultimate goal is to use the lessons learned from this earthquake and the retrofit research to help understand and so limit the risks earthquakes pose to these treasures in the future.

Safer Homes, Stronger Communities: A Handbook for Reconstructing After Natural Disasters
By Abhas K. Jha, with Jennifer Duyne Barenstein, Priscilla M. Phelps, Daniel Pittet, Stephen Sena
* Publisher: World Bank Publications
* Number Of Pages: 404
* Publication Date: 2010-01-15
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0821380451
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780821380451
* Subject: Building | Construction | Residential Reconstruction | Architecture | Natural Disaster Effects | Earthquakes | Seismic Studies |
Product Description:
Best practices in post-disaster housing and community reconstruction are constantly evolving. Technology is changing how reconstruction is done, as is the frequency and severity of the disasters themselves. Reconstruction projects are increasingly focused on the need to reduce future risks by ensuring that what is rebuilt is safer and more disaster-resilient than what was there before. The expanding role of communities in managing community reconstruction, with financial and technical assistance from government, is another way reconstruction is changing. Safer Homes, Stronger Communities: A Handbook for Reconstructing after Natural Disasters provides advice on how to ensure that reconstruction empowers communities to rebuild, and gives them the support they need to build back in a way that the risk of future disasters is greatly reduced. Written for policy makers and project managers engaged in major housing and community reconstruction programs, the handbook provides guidance on the roles and responsibilities of various actors, and explains what the scope of a reconstruction policy should be and how decisions in each aspect of reconstruction contribute to larger reconstruction goals. For project managers who will be charged with implementing reconstruction policy, the handbook provides guidance on the options that should be considered in each aspect of reconstruction, and examples of where they have been used in other reconstruction projects. It includes more than one hundred short case studies collected from global experts with recent experience in housing reconstruction, that illustrate how the policies and practical ideas have been used on the ground. It also includes links to extensive technical information on the topics covered by the handbook.
Safer Homes, Stronger Communities is a handbook that gives policy makers and project managers the information they need to plan and carry out housing and community reconstruction projects that empower communities affected by disasters and that reduce their vulnerability to future disasters. Designed to provide immediate guidance in post-disaster reconstruction settings, Safer Homes, Stronger Communities is a vital resource for policy makers and project managers, and for all practitioners involved in post-disaster housing and community reconstruction and disaster risk management.
