The text emphasizes conceptual understanding and avoids an oversimplistic treatment of the subject. Estimation of soil parameters for use in design is given high priority. Users will find an up-to-date text that relates theory to real world practices and integrates concepts and continuity of examples across chapters. Illustrations, applications and hands-on examples are provided. The text not only explains the "how", but also the "why".

Nanomaterials, Nanotechnologies and Design: An Introduction for Engineers and Architects
Daniel L. Schodek, Paulo Ferreira, Michael F. Ashby "Nanomaterials, Nanotechnologies and Design: An Introduction for Engineers and Architects"
Butterworth-Heinemann | English | 2009-03-06 | ISBN: 0750681497 | 384 pages | PDF | 19 MB
How could nanotechnology not perk the interest of any designer, engineer or architect? Exploring the intriguing new approaches to design that nanotechnologies offer, Nanomaterials, Nanotechnologies and Design is set against the sometimes fantastic sounding potential of this technology. Nanotechnology offers product engineers, designers, architects and consumers a vastly enhanced palette of materials and properties, ranging from the profound to the superficial. It is for engineering and design students and professionals who need to understand enough about the subject to apply it with real meaning to their own work.
* World-renowned author team address the hot-topic of nanotechnology
* The first book to address and explore the impacts and opportunities of nanotech for mainstream designers, engineers and architects
* Full colour production and excellent design: guaranteed to appeal to everyone concerned with good design and the use of new materials

Diane Throop; Richard E. Klingner, "Masonry: Opportunities for the 21st Century (ASTM Special Technical Publication, 1432.)"
ASTM International; illustrated edition (December 1, 2002) | English | 0803134509 | 287 pages | PDF | 5.93 MB
STP 1432 provides nineteen peer-reviewed papers on historical, current, and predicted masonry issues, ranging from studies of the behavior of historic masonry, through basic research into the behavior and potential application of innovative masonry materials. Subjects cover historic structures, material testing, evaluation techniques, and new products and systems.
This new publication is a valuable technical resource for those involved n the production, design, or testing of masonry products or assemblies, including designers, manufacturers, engineers, architects, or consultants.

Technology of Floor Maintenance and Current Trends
Technology of Floor Maintenance and Current Trends (ASTM special technical publication, 1448)
Publisher: ASTM International | ISBN: 0803134827 | edition 2004 | PDF | 177 pages | 3,8 mb
This new ASTM publication gives you the latest information on ALL ASPECTS of floor polish in easy-to-understand terms. Ten peer-reviewed papers cover: A thorough review of the chemistry involved in floor polishes and associated coatings. Coating maintenance and staticcoefficient of friction (COF) includes papers that clearly define COF and how it is measured correctly in accordance with ASTM standards. There is also a general review of polish maintenance techniques and a critical paper encompassing the relationship between the static COF of newly applied floor polish and that same finish, which has been subjected to various industry standard maintenance techniques over time. Legal and regulatory issues discusses the legal aspects associated with a slip incidence, as well as the tools to prevent slip incidents. It also includes an actual case history, which provides a meticulous investigative outline for those involved in the discovery phase of a slip claim; and closes with a review of those regulatory issues that currently effect floor polishes. STP 1448 will help facilities better manage their floor care program, saving them time and money, while improving the overall appearance and safety. It has a broad base of appeal from the formulation chemist developing polishes to the facilities manager who is looking to better manage their floor care program.

mozilla firefox 4 Will Become The Super Duper Fastest Browser
as the developer is planning to release a new version of Firefox 4. Firefox 4 is claimed to be a fast browser and is compatible with the HTML 5 standard.Fast: making Firefox super-duper fast
Powerful: enabling new open, standard Web technologies (HTML5 and beyond!),
Empowering: putting users in full control of their browser, data, and Web experience.
Views Firefox 4 is slightly different with the previous version. Menu bar (the menu consists of File, Edit, View, etc.) “replaced” with an App Button, so that will add a reading area in your browser. Besides the Stop button, Refresh and Go be a single button.

Slab and Wall Form Design Spreadsheets according to ACI Code
William C. Epstein, professor of construction management at California Polytechnic State University, has developed interactive spreadsheets for design of formwork components following procedures outlined in Chapter 6 of ACI SP-4, “Formwork for Concrete,” 7th edition. One spreadsheet deals with forms for elevated slabs, and the other with wall forms. These spreadsheets were created as a teaching and learning tool, and are in no way intended to supplant the qualified engineer or designer to whom formwork planning should be entrusted.
