A Short Course in Geotechnical Site Investigation" is the third volume in the popular and authoritative "Short course" series. This book focuses on the fundamental principles of geotechnical site investigation - in particular the planning of the investigation. This indispensable book is illustrated throughout with 23 case studies, seven of which are detailed examples of best practice. Some aspects of soil mechanics are explained using "hand written" "Short Course Notes". The classic monograph "Writing Reports" by D. J. Palmer is reproduced, and also included is a plastic-laminated field card giving identification and description of soil and rocks.This book provides: an introduction on how to plan an investigation, with particular reference to spacing of boreholes, procurement, developing the geological model and conceptual design; guidance on how to carry out a desk study and walkover survey, with particular reference to the use of geological maps and air photos; advice on how to identify geotechnical hazards, manage geotechnical risk and compile the Risk Register; a review of key classic and modern laboratory and field tests for parameter determination. "A Short Course in Geotechnical Site Investigation" will familiarise students with the practicalities of geotechnical engineering and refresh the knowledge of practising engineering geologists and civil engineers

The Canadian Wood Council (CWC) is the association responsible for the development and dissemination of technical information on the use of wood products in construction. Ensuring that this information is in tune with technical change and users' needs requires constant vigilance.
The purpose of this fifth edition of the Wood Design Manual is to help the Canadian community design - architects, engineers, specification writers, teachers and students of these disciplines - to design wood structures with efficiency, economy and safety. It brings together, in a comprehensive but concise format, the essential information a designer needs for a wide range of wood structural elements and systems.
The information in the Wood Design Manual is based on the latest information available from the National Building Code of Canada (2005) and from CSA Standard 0-86-01 (2005) Engineering Design in Wood. Every effort has been made to ensure that the date and information in the Manual are accurate and complete. The CWC does not, however, assume any responsability for errors or omissions in the Manual nor for engineering plans or plans prepared from it.

ACI 551 R-92: Design Guide for Tilt-Up Concrete Panels - (Reapproved 1997, 2003), 51 pp.
This guide presents information to expand on the provisions of ACI 318, Section 14.8 applied to the design of site-cast precast, or “tilt-up,” concrete panels, and to provide a comprehensive procedure for the design of these important structural elements. In addition, this guide provides design recommendations for various support and load conditions not specifically covered in ACI 318. Included are design guidelines for in-plane shear.

Granular And Complex Materials
World Scientific Publishing Company | 2007-10-18 | ISBN: 9812771980 | 268 pages | PDF | 14,2 MB
The science of complex materials continues to engage researchers from a vast range of disciplines, including physics, mathematics, computational science, and virtually all domains of engineering. This volume presents a unique multidisciplinary panorama of the current research in complex materials. The contributions explore an array of problems reflecting recent developments in four main areas: characterization and modeling of disordered packings, micromechanics and continuum theory; discrete element method; statistical mechanics. The common theme is the quest to unravel the connection between the microscopic and macroscopic properties of complex materials.
Note from Nautilus87 :
This book is also about Discrete Element Method . It is mainly into Geomchanics:-b'coz soil is granular and complex material and micromechanical DEM simulation. It comprises of edited research papers .

# Presents the fundamental concepts of the discrete models for fractured rocks, including constitutive models of rock fractures and rock masses for stress, deformation and fluid flow
# Provides a comprehensive presentation on discrete element methods, including distinct elements, discontinuous deformation analysis, discrete fracture networks, particle mechanics and Cosserat representation of granular media
# Features constitutive models of rock fractures and fracture system characterization methods detaiing their significant impacts on the performance and uncertainty of the DEM models
Description
This book presents some fundamental concepts behind the basic theories and tools of discrete element methods (DEM), its historical development, and its wide scope of applications in geology, geophysics and rock engineering. Unlike almost all books available on the general subject of DEM, this book includes coverage of both explicit and implicit DEM approaches, namely the Distinct Element Methods and Discontinuous Deformation Analysis (DDA) for both rigid and deformable blocks and particle systems, and also the Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) approach for fluid flow and solute transport simulations. The latter is actually also a discrete approach of importance for rock mechanics and rock engineering. In addition, brief introductions to some alternative approaches are also provided, such as percolation theory and Cosserat micromechanics equivalence to particle systems, which often appear hand-in-hand with the DEM in the literature. Fundamentals of the particle mechanics approach using DEM for granular media is also presented.
Readership
Researchers and advanced undergraduate and graduate students with an emphasis in rock mechanics, rock physics, civil engineering, engineering geology, environmental engineering, petroleum engineering, and nuclear waste management.

Note from Nautilus87:
This book introduces the reader to Discrete Element Method. The Discrete element method was developed in 1971 by Prof. Peter A. Cundall for Modelling the soil and rock behavior . Its main advantage is that it is based on discontinuum mechanics rather than continuum mechanics (Fem) . It has the ability to simulate cyclic triaxial tests, slope stability , using anisotropic conditions,crack growth, discontinuity in rock and soil . It is mainly implemented in pfc2d,pfc3d,Ball,trubal,UBEC,3dec and other software and code .
It can model crack growth discontinuity , particle behavior , partcle shape which Finite Element Method cannot accomplish! It is used by geotechnical experts or geomechanic's experts for tunnel design, underground construction analysis and modelling complex behavior of soil .
