This book developed from annual course on the genesis of joints in rocks, in the department of rock engineering at the University of Technology, Graz, Austria. As joints are fractures which, barren or filled with fluid or minerals, interrupt the continuity of rock bodies, the development of these features is a mechanical process. Hence, the course and, in more detail this book, deal with the mechanical genesis of joints.

The Current limitations of displacement based design.
ABSTRACT
Displacement based design methods are emerging as the latest tool for performance based seismic design. Of the many different displacement based design procedures proposed in recent years there are few that are developed to a standard suitable for implementation in modern design codes. throudh application to various case studies this report identifies and discusses the difficulties a designer may encounter when trying to use displacement based design. It is hoped that by presenting these limitations efforts will be made to develop the methods further so that designers can begin using the methods with ease and confidence

Analytical Methods for Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow Problems
Analytical Methods for Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow Problems
Springer; 1 edition (August 26, 2004) | ISBN: 3540222472 | 538 pages | PDF | 11 MB
"The main aim of the present book is to show the usefulness of analytical methods, in a world, which focuses more and more on numerical methods. … The book is written for graduate students and engineers. … At the end of every chapter, problems are shown, which the reader may solve to check his/her knowledge." (Claudia-Veronika Meister, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1073, 2005)
"The intention of the author of this modest little book is to provide a guide for analytic methods for the solution of heat transfer problems. … A list of symbols is provided at the start, some 200 references are cited, and there is a shortish index. … The author intends his book for graduate students and engineers. … It will mainly serve as a reference for those interested in technical heat transfer calculations." (A. C. Fowler, Journal of Fluid Mechanics, Vol. 547, 2006)
"The main aim of this book is to ‘show the usefulness of analytical methods in a world which focuses more and more on numerical methods (in heat transfer and fluid flow)’. The intended readership is researchers from the relevant engineering community and their students. … the mathematician can use the book as an entrée to selected parts of the engineering literature, both theoretical and experimental." (J. R. Ockendon, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2005 h)
"Analytical methods for heat transfer and fluid flow problems is designed to show the usefulness of analytical methods for solving problems … . The book’s target audience is engineers and engineering students, people with a good understanding of basic engineering mathematics. … The book is laid out clearly, making good use of tables and graphs when necessary. All problems are solved in clear steps … . It’s a useful reference for those working in this field … ." (Ragan Nelson, The Chemical Engineer, October, 2006)

ACI 350-01 - Code Req. for Environmental Engineering Concrete Structures
CODE REQUIREMENTS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL
ENGINEERING CONCRETE STRUCTURES
(ACI 350-01) AND COMMENTARY (ACI 350R-01)
398 pages - PDF - Excellent quality
REPORTED BY ACI COMMITTEE 350
The code portion of this document covers the structural design, materials selection, and construction of environmental engineering concrete structures. Such structures are used for conveying, storing, or treating liquid, wastewater, or other materials, such as solid waste. They include ancillary structures for dams, spillways, and channels.
They are subject to uniquely different loadings, more severe exposure conditions and more restrictive serviceability requirements than normal building structures.
Loadings include normal dead and live loads and vibrating equipment or hydrodynamic forces. Exposures include concentrated chemicals, alternate wetting and drying, and freezing and thawing of saturated concrete. Serviceability requirements include liquid-tightness or gas-tightness.
Typical structures include conveyance, storage, and treatment structures. Proper design, materials, and construction of environmental engineering concrete structures are required to produce serviceable concrete that is dense, durable, nearly impermeable, resistant to chemicals, with limited deflections and cracking. Leakage must be controlled to minimize contamination of ground water or the environment, to minimize loss of product or infiltration, and to promote durability.
This code presents new material as well as modified portions of the ACI 318-95 Building Code that are applicable to environmental engineering concrete structures.
Because ACI 350-01 is written as a legal document, it may be adopted by reference in a general building code or in regulations governing the design and construction of environmental engineering concrete structures.
Thus it cannot present background details or suggestions for carrying out its requirements or intent. It is the function of the commentary to fill this need.

The independent review of the Mn/DOT bridge inspection policies and procedures began with the consultant team’s first bridge inspection assignment of the Blatnik Bridge on August 6th, 2007 where the teams used the previous Mn/DOT bridge inspection report for reference and comparison. The consultant teams continued to utilize the previous Mn/DOT reports for reference throughout the entire project while performing over 300 fracture critical and routine bridge inspections. These inspections included a diverse statewide group of structures on the trunk highway system that was selected as a peer sample for the compliance review. The intent of the peer sample was to compare the consultant’s inspection findings with Mn/DOT’s previous findings.

BS 9999:2008 - Code of practice for fire safety in the design, management and use of buildings
459 Pages
After 10 years in development, BSI British Standards has published BS 9999:2008 Code of practice for fire safety in the design, management and use of buildings.
BS 9999 gives recommendations and guidance on the design, management and use of buildings to achieve acceptable levels of fire safety for all people in and around buildings.
BS 9999 is applicable to the design of new buildings, and to alterations, extensions and changes of use of an existing building, with the exception of individual homes and with limited applicability in the case of certain specialist buildings. It also provides guidance on the ongoing management of fire safety in a building throughout the entire life cycle of the building, including guidance for designers to ensure that the overall design of a building assists and enhances the management of fire safety. It can be used as a tool for assessing existing buildings, although fundamental change in line with the guidelines might well be limited or not practicable.
BS 9999 contributes to the protection of people in buildings by:
* Working to prevent fires occurring in the first place
* Being aware of the types of people in the building and any special risks or needs (such as disabled people, see BS 8300 Design of buildings and their approaches to meet the needs of disabled people. Code of practice)
* Ensuring that all of the fire safety measures in the building are kept in working order, and in particular that the means of escape are always available
* Training staff and organizing the evacuation plan, to ensure that occupants leave quickly if a fire occurs
* Taking command in the event of a fire until the fire and rescue service arrives.
The standard builds on government guidance to legislative requirements, providing an advanced approach to fire safety in the design, management and use of buildings. It promotes a more flexible approach to fire safety design through use of structured risk-based design where designers can take account of varying human factors. The guidance on means of escape for disabled people (in respect of both design and management) is greatly expanded within BS 9999 from that in DD 9999 to reflect the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act and the principles of inclusive design.
Who should use BS 9999?
* Architects
* Designers
* Surveyors
* Facilities/building managers
* Fire and rescue service
* Building control officers
* Fire safety engineers
* Fire risk consultants
* NRAC and other qualified access consultants.
BS 9999 will supersede DD 9999, and the entire BS 5588 series (with the exception of BS 5588-1), which will be withdrawn on 6 April 2009.
