hi please some one tell me if i want to upload one file (staad file...etc) for discussion purpose what is the procedure and where i have to upload that file please explain me in brief...... thanks....
I am doing my MSc in Structres in U.K . I need some help regarding selection of a research topic for my dissertation.The field i want to do research is in Prestressing.But, I don't no what will i study in that (like tension required for cable how can it be optimised? something related time of tensionoing or i don't know) if any one have experience in Prestressing please recommend me a current good research topic in Prestressing (like a software based study).
I will highly appreciate if somebody could share some drawings about composite railway bridges (or highway bridge with similar cross section) with steel plate girder (with double composite action would be the best); general and detail drawings in *dwg (dxf) or *pdf are both welcome (I need primary drawings from the superstructure).
Here is my cross section (the bridge has three spans 45m-45m-22,86m):
Another request: I will be grateful if somebody could give me some advice or drawing about the reinforcement of the upper concrete slab. The bridge has Edilon direct fastening sytem (embedding the rail in elastic material) (no ballast) > almost concentrated force application, I checked the details of the fastening system and it seems to me that the baseplate doesn’t distribute the loads too much so I need a powerful reinforcing.
Reinforcement from the in-plane effect is ok, but I would like to know how engineers are solving the out-of-plane (plate) reinforcement of these bridges.

Product Description
Few up-to-date books exist on the hydraulics of canals, and indeed very few which deal with the design, construction, management and modernization of canals. This new book is written for engineers with a good grounding in hydraulic engineering who want a practical reference and guide. It provides in-depth study of the problems of losses caused by seepage, the various possible linings, the constraints posed by the construction of a canal without a lining and the relevant methods of calculation. It also explores the calculation of the various structures inserted in the canal, notably the gates.
Proper management of is essential in order to avoid losses from spillage. Current mathematical models are presented for studying the influence on the movements of a canal exerted by the variations in the opening of the gates or modifications in the rates of flow. The rehabilitation and modernization of old canals which are still in service are considered, and methods of avoiding deterioration by effective maintenance and conservation are addressed.

Geosynthetic materials have entered the mainstream in the professional arena and are no longer considered new construction material. Professionals need to keep up with the nuances of how geosynthetics work. Emphasizes design by function; overviews all types of geosynthetics, with stand-alone units on particular materials. Uses S.I. units for all problems and examples. Expands coverage of containers and tubes in the geotextile chapter. Discusses walls and slope design, including seismic analysis, in the geogrid chapter. Treats wet landfills, agricultural waste, waste stability, and dam waterproofing in the geomembrane chapter. Discusses new products and related performances in the geosynthetic clay liner chapter. Discusses new products and related behavior, including fiber reinforcement and wall drainage, in the geocomposite chapter. Adds a completely new chapter on geofoam. A useful reference for transportation, geotechnical, environmental, and hydraulics professionals and engineers.
From the Publisher
Koerner's Third Edition keeps pace with the fast-moving field of geosynthetics by updating coverage to include the latest materials and design techniques. It examines all types of geosynthetics-geotextiles, geogrids, geonets, geomembrane, and goecomposites with an emphasis on design-by-function. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Learn how to conduct a professional forensic geotechnical and foundation investigation
Clearly written and easy to use, this authoritative book shows you step-by-step how to:
# INVESTIGATE damage, deterioration, or collapse in a structure
# EVALUATE problems caused by settlement, expansive soil, slope movement, moisture intrusion, and more
# INVESTIGATE damage from earthquakes and other natural causes
# DETERMINE what caused the damage
# DEVELOP repair recommendations
# PREPARE files and reports
# AVOID civil liability
No matter what caused the structural damage, this book will help you pinpoint it and, if necessary, suggest a remedy. With advice on all aspects of the process, from accepting the assignment to testifying compellingly, this book is your all-in-one guide to geotechnical and foundation investigations in forensic engineering.
