P.J.M. Bartos, J.J. Hughes, P. Trtik , W. Zhu , "Nanotechnology in Construction"
Royal Society of Chemistry; 1 edition (July 13, 2004) | ISBN:0854046232 | 374 pages | PDF | 19 Mb
The importance of nanotechnology related research and development has become recognised worldwide. Substantial public and private investment is now being ploughed into research and development in a number of industrial sectors, where nanotechnology has become established and has led to new commercial products. The construction industry, having major economic significance with nano-scale research and development which is only emerging, offers a wide scope for exploitation of nanotechnology.
With international contributions from experts in the field, Nanotechnology in Construction amalgamates previously fragmented research and emerging trends. It reflects the inherent multi-disciplinary nature of nano-scale research in construction and contributions cover a wide spectrum, from highly scientific investigations to futuristic applications. The books is organised into four broad sections, the first reviews and analyses the prospects of exploitation of nanotechnology in construction, the second discusses novel tools and their capabilities, the final two sections show existing significant products where nanotechnology has been already been exploited or where product development is under-way.
Nanotechnology in Construction will appeal to researchers already working in this field as well as those wishing to enter it. It will also inform governmental and other funding agencies of the most promising future directions and their related timescales. Practical applications are considered and explanations of the underlying basics are given, raising awareness and understanding of what nanotechnology can offer to construction professionals in general.

Przemyslaw Litewka, "Finite Element Analysis of Beam-to-Beam Contact"
Springer | 2010 | ISBN: 3642129390 | 175 pages | PDF | 1,8 MB
Phenomena occurring during a contact of two bodies are encountered in everyday life. In reality almost every type of motion is related to frictional contact between a moving body and a ground. Moreover, modeling of simple and more complex processes as nailing, cutting, vacuum ing, movement of machines and their elements, rolling or, finally, a numerical simulation of car crash tests, requires taking contact into account. Therefore, its analysis has been a subject of many research efforts for a long time now. However, it is author’s opinion that there are relatively few efforts related to contact between structural elements, like beams, plates or shells. The purpose of this work is to fill this gap. It concerns the beam-to-beam contact as a specific case of the 3D solids contact. A numerical formulation of frictional contact for beams with two shapes of cross-section is derived. Further, a couple of effective methods for modeling of smooth curves representing beam axes are presented. A part of the book is also devoted to analyze some aspects of thermo-electro-mechanical coupling in contact of thermal and electric conductors. Analyses in every chapter are illustrated with numerical examples showing the performance of derived contact finite elements.

Seismic Retrofit Training For Building Contractors & Inspectors
Seismic Retrofit Training For Building Contractors & Inspectors
Publisher: Timothy P. McCormick | ISBN: N\A | edition 2005 | PDF | 237 pages | 10,9 mb
This course describes retrofit methods for light wood frame buildings that have structural weaknesses for resisting earthquakes. The training focuses on understanding how these retrofit methods work and how to install them. It also shows how to avoid making typical retrofitting errors. This course is not
intended to teach you how to design a retrofit, but rather how to implement one. Much of this information is also useful for other types of work, such as
the construction of new houses or apartment buildings.
