This enlightening textbook for undergraduates on civil engineering degree courses explains structural design from its mechanical principles, showing the speed and simplicity of effective design from first principles.
This text presents good approximate solutions to complex design problems, such as "Wembley-Arch" type structures, the design of thin-walled structures, and long-span box girder bridges. Other more code-based textbooks concentrate on relatively simple member design, and avoid some of the most interesting design problems because code compliant solutions are complex. Yet these problems can be addressed by relatively manageable techniques. The methods outlined here enable quick, early stage, "ball-park" design solutions to be considered, and are also useful for checking finite element analysis solutions to complex problems.
The conventions used in the book are in accordance with the Eurocodes, especially where they provide convenient solutions that can be easily understood by students. Many of the topics, such as composite beam design, are straight applications of Eurocodes, but with the underlying theory fully explained.
The techniques are illustrated through a series of worked examples which develop in complexity, with the more advanced questions forming extended exam type questions. A comprehensive range of fully worked tutorial questions are provided at the end of each section for students to practice in preparation for closed book exams.

A comprehensive review of the Finite Element Method (FEM), this book provides the fundamentals together with a wide range of applications in civil, mechanical and aeronautical engineering. It addresses both the theoretical and numerical implementation aspects of the FEM, providing examples in several important topics such as solid mechanics, fluid mechanics and heat transfer, appealing to a wide range of engineering disciplines. Written by a renowned author and academician with the Chinese Academy of Engineering, The Finite Element Method would appeal to researchers looking to understand how the fundamentals of the FEM can be applied in other disciplines. Researchers and graduate students studying hydraulic, mechanical and civil engineering will find it a practical reference text.

Autodesk 3DS Max 2019
3ds Max contains essential tools for many of today’s 3D digital content creation specialists, but are increasingly becoming part of a daily toolset for many companies wishing to market their products or create interior and exterior architectural visualisations, 3D animations or stunning visual imagery.
Whilst many 3D modelling and design software solutions have there own internal render engines, 3ds Max and visualisation software extends these with a toolset that allows user to go beyond merely creating a virtual image, but to generating visually stunning truly photo-realistic imagery often indistinguishable from the real thing.
3ds Max can be purchased on a subscription basis as a standalone application or, if you are operating extended workflows, it is also be purchased as part of the wider Autodesk Media & Entertainment Collection.

Author(s)/Editor(s): Arnold Wilson | Size: 23 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Monolithic Dome Institute | Year: 2005 | pages: 415 | ISBN: 096791714X
Practical Design of Concrete Shells, written by Dr. Arnold Wilson specifically for engineers, architects, builders and students of civil engineering, is a long overdue, sorely needed reference text on the construction of concrete thin shells.
The persuasion process is often a long one! Take the case of David B. South, Monolithic’s president, and Dr. Arnold Wilson, Professor Emeritus of Engineering at Brigham Young University (BYU).
David wanted a comprehensive text that explained the engineering aspects of Monolithic Dome construction. He pictured it as a reference on reinforced concrete thin shells built using an inflatable form—a reference specifically written for engineers, architects and builders as well as students in those fields.
Who better to write such a book than Arnold. During his 40-year career at BYU, he taught a full range of undergraduate and graduate courses on thin shell construction and counseled students working on a Master’s Thesis or Master’s Project.
Moreover, Arnold’s engineering projects include more than 1500 concrete thin shells located in 48 of our states and in 40 other countries. In fact, David believes that Arnold has engineered more thin shells than any other person, living or dead.
David and Arnold began working together in 1976. And almost from the beginning of that relationship, David has been trying to talk Arnold into writing that sorely needed textbook. He finally succeeded!
Practical Design of Concrete Shells is now available. Generously illustrated with diagrams and photographs, this text describes and documents the innovative forming system used in the construction of reinforced concrete thin shells such as Monolithic Domes.
It discusses the benefits of such structures: cost-effective construction and maintenance, near-absolute protection from natural and some manmade disasters, structural strength and durability, extremely low energy use, interior and exterior design flexibility and eye appeal.
The book cites dome failures as well and gives the reasons for those failures.
Included are the computer programs both in print and on a cd used for calculating the stresses in a thin shell.
Its 398 pages present domes constructed as homes and as commercial and public facilities, huge domes with diameters of up to 1000 feet, unusual applications such as airplane hangars and water tanks, and a look at the future potential of domes.
