BS 5400-2:2006 Steel, concrete and composite bridges. Specification for loads.
Since its publication over 25 years ago, there have been many technical and social developments that have required the revision of the BS 5400, the standard for bridges. All parts are being reviewed; revised or amended editions of other parts are expected next year.
The revisions introduce technical changes to take account of present construction requirements, following a full review of the standards.
Further information regarding this standard can be found on page 7 of the Construction Materials brochure, which also contains other relevant products which may be of interest to you.
BS 5400-2:2006 replaces BS 5400-2:1978, which will be withdrawn on publication.

Fluid Dynamics and Transport of Droplets and Sprays
Fluid Dynamics and Transport of Droplets and Sprays
William A. Sirignano,
Cambridge University Press | 2005 | ISBN: 0521019257, 0511529562 | 332 pages | PDF | 7 MB
The study of droplets and sprays has developed rapidly over the past two decades because of their many important applications, from automobile engine combustion to drug aerosols. This book addresses the complex subject of the interactions of droplets and sprays. It describes the behavior of an individual droplet in a spray, the behavior of a spray, and the critical relationships between the two. Along with a strong theoretical foundation, the book presents results in a way that will be useful for engineering practice, with summaries of key formulae and examples of various spray computations. Among topics covered are transient heating (or cooling) and vaporization (or condensation), multicomponent liquid droplet vaporization, near critical and supercritical ambient conditions, interaction of droplets with turbulent or vortical structures, distortion of the spherical shape and secondary atomization of the droplets, and computational issues. As an authoritative review of the science and technology of droplets and sprays, this book will be useful for graduate students, researchers, and practicing engineers.

Analysis and Optimization of Prismatic and Axisymmetric Shell Structures
Theory, Practice and Software
Analysis and Optimization of Prismatic and Axisymmetric Shell Structures: Theory, Practice and Software
Ernest Hinton, Johann Sienz, Mustafa Özakca,
Springer | 2003 | ISBN: 1852334215 | 496 pages | Djvu | 8 MB
Shell-type structures can be found almost everywhere. They appear in natural forms but also as man-made, load-bearing components in diverse engineering systems. Mankind has struggled to replicate nature's optimization of such structures but using modern computational tools it is now possible to analyse, design and optimise them systematically.
Analysis and Optimization of Prismatic and Axisymmetric Shell Structures features: - comprehensive coverage of the background theory of shell structures; - development and implementation of reliable, creative and efficient computational tools for static and free-vibration analysis and structural optimization of variable-thickness shells and folded-plate structures; - integrated computer-aided curve and surface modelling tools and automatic mesh generation, structural analysis sensitivity analysis and mathematical programming methods; - CD-ROM containing well-documented Fortran software for these techniques using finite element and finite strip simulations which can be readily adapted by the reader for the solution of practical problems or for use within a teaching or research environment.
Written by leading experts in finite element and finite strip methods, Analysis and Optimization of Prismatic and Axisymmetric Shell Structures will be of great interest to researchers in structural mechanics and in automotive, aerospace and civil engineering as well as to designers from all fields using shell structures for their strength-per-unit-mass advantages.

Numerical Analysis of Pile Behavior under Lateral Loads in Layered ElasticPlastic Soils
This paper presents results from a ¯nite element study on the behavior of a single pile in elastic plastic soils. Pile behavior in uniform sand and clay soils as well as cases with and layer in clay deposit and clay layer in sand deposit were analyzed and cross compared to investigate layering erects. Finite element results were used to generate p ¡ y curves and then compared with those obtained from methods commonly used in practice.

Performance Based Evaluation of Buildings Nonlinear Pushover and Time History Analysis
Reference Manual
Trevor E Kelly, S. E.
Holmes Consulting Group Ltd.
Number Pages: 267
Rar file zise: 4.23 mb
This reference manual represents the current status of the Holmes Consulting Group procedures for the implementation of performance based evaluation of existing buildings. The procedures are continually evolving and so features may have been added and/or changes made which are not documented in the manual.
Performance based evaluation is a complex procedure which requires a high level of technical skill and engineering judgment to obtain valid results. The tools described in this Manual are just tools and do not substitute for skill and judgment.

Electrical Load Forecasting: Modeling and Model Construction
Succinct and understandable, this book is a step-by-step guide to the mathematics and construction of Electrical Load Forecasting models. Written by one of the world's foremost experts on the subject, Short and Long Term Electrical Load Forecasting provides a brief discussion of algorithms, there advantages and disadvantages and when they are best utilized. Supported by an online computer program, this book online arrangement allows readers construct, validate, and run short and long term models. The book begins with a brief discussion algorithm, there advantages and disadvantages and when they are best utilized. This is followed by a clear and rigorous exposition of the statistical techniques and algorithms such as regression, neural networks, fuzzy logic, and expert systems. In this book, readers find reliable and easy-to-use techniques designed to improve their forecasting techniques and construct more accurate models. The book begins with a good description of the basic theory and models needed to truly understand how the models are prepared so that they are not just blindly plugging and chugging numbers.
