Editorial Reviews
The author is to be congratulated on the large number of examples he cites, drawn from many parts of the world and with excellent UK representation. Geographical Association 2/01
Although dealing with highly complex phenomena, the content of this volume is readily accessible by non-specialists, those in management roles, or those generally seeking a better understanding of geohazard phenomena. The Australasian Journal of Disaster and Trauma Studies Volume 2001/2
The discussion of hazards is both Comprehensive and critical and Bell does a good job of clarifying the complexity and uncertainty inherent in the study of geohazards. This critical focus further enhances the utility of this volume as an aid to comprehensive all-hazards planning. The Australasian Journal of Disaster and Trauma Studies Volume 2001/2
...an essential resource for those in emergency management and planning. The Australasian Journal of Disaster and Trauma Studies Volume 2001/2
...an excellent and accessible review of diverse hazard phenomena and one that should be regarded as essential reading for anyone requiring a detailed and comprehensive summery of hazard phenomena and who is grappling with the complexities of developing all-hazards plans and response capabilities. The Australasian Journal of Disaster and Trauma Studies Volume 2001/2
Geological Hazards is a welcome and valuable addition to the literature covering this subject. Its wide and balanced approach to the subject will be of great use to educators, researchers and planners and fills a clear gap in the subject. It is very well written and as an accessible and informative text interested undergraduates will read it avidly. The Geographical Journal 2002

Tolerance Manual for Precast and Prestressed Concrete Construction - PCI
This new reference manual is intended to assist designers, producers and erectors of products for the building industry in determining the proper tolerances in every phase of the building process. The new manual contains information vital to architects, engineers, general contractors, precast and prestressed concrete producers, quality control agencies and other interfacing building trades. In a preface to its comprehensive volume, the PCI Committee On Tolerances says, in part, ""It is essential that the members of the building team collaborate to provide an overall project tolerance system which will meet all of the project's functional needs and allow economical fabrication and erection for the precast concrete members and all of the interfacing building systems."" To accomplish those objectives, the new manual contains a wealth of information covering both plant-cast and site-cast precast and precast prestressed concrete. The committee warns, however, that the tolerances defined in the manual are designed to provide a reference point, not be rigid and unyielding. The tolerances contained within the manual are based on current modern precast concrete production techniques. The report preface points out that its intent is to provide the tools to enable the party responsible for tolerances to develop a tolerance plant that will lead to a successful project. The nearly 200-page manual defines the custom nature of building construction, defines tolerance categories, identifies tolerance issues, discusses responsibility for project dimensional control and describes mechanisms for handling tolerance discrepancies. Other sections of the document deal with a variety of issues, beginning with definition of tolerance related terms, relationships among various tolerance groups, product tolerances, special tolerance considerations, individual product tolerance listings, erection tolerances, mixed building system erection tolerances, clearance considerations, interfacing tolerances, design approaches for interfacing tolerance systems and characteristics of a tolerance interface. Later sections in the manual include a variety of typical tolerance related details as well as examples of tolerance detailing related calculations. Appendices provide the reader with examples of specification language and even sample contract language. The new publication complements and supports two other previously published PCI quality control manuals. These include MNL-116 Manual for Quality Control for Plants and Production of Precast and Prestressed Concrete Products and MNL-117 Manual for Quality Control for Plants and Production of Architectural Precast Concrete Products. The three documents form the basis of quality design and quality fabrication and erection for Precast and Prestressed Concrete Products. The new manual is designated MNL 135-00.

Nonlinear Targeted Energy Transfer in Mechanical and Structural
By Alexander F. Vakakis, Oleg V. Gendelman, Lawrence A. Bergman, D. Michael McFarland, Gaëtan Kerschen, Young Sup Lee
* Title: Nonlinear Targeted Energy Transfer in Mechanical and Structural Systems
* Author: Alexander F. Vakakis, Oleg V. Gendelman, Lawrence A. Bergman, D. Michael McFarland, Gaëtan Kerschen, Young Sup Lee.
* Publisher: Springer (2008-12-16)
* Number Of Pages: 1032
* Publication Date: 2008-12-16
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1402091257
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781402091254
This monograph is the first in the new area of targeted nonlinear energy transfer in mechanical and structural systems. This concept was initially discovered by the two leading authors in 1999, and was further developed exclusively by the entire author group in the last 6 years. Since then, additional groups of researchers in the USA, Russia, UK and France have started working on this concept and applying it.
It is estimated that in the years to come, the concept of targeted nonlinear energy transfer will be considered and applied by numerous groups of researchers and practitioners internationally. This monograph presents theoretical methods, computational results and experimental demonstrations of this concept applied to discrete and continuous coupled nonlinear oscillators. Moreover, it demonstrates the wide applicability of targeted nonlinear energy transfer to a wide range of problems, including: (1) Vibration and shock isolation in mechanical systems; (2) Seismic mitigation; (3) Aeroelastic and structural instability suppression; (4) Drilling operations; (5) Packaging devices.
This is a groundbreaking and unique volume, providing new design paradigms in a variety of fields.

fib Bulletin No. 32
Title: Guidelines for the design of footbridges
Category: Guide to good practice
Year: 2005
Pages: 160
Format approx. DIN A4 (210x297 mm)
ISBN: 978-2-88394-072-7
Abstract:
The intention of fib Bulletin 32 is to present guidelines for the design of footbridges as well as bridges accommodating cyclists and bridleways (equestrian paths). The need for these guidelines comes from the fact that structural engineers designing footbridges currently have to spend considerable time and energy collecting information from numerous documents, codes and recommendations to make design decisions. There seems to be no international document dedicated solely to the design of footbridges.
These guidelines attempt to provide a concentrated source of information regarding all design issues specific to footbridges. It is meant to be a 'liberal' document in the sense that it promotes new, innovative and bold yet prudent designs by sharing the experience of the authors, summarizing specifications given in codes, and presenting a collection of examples of well-designed structures or structural details from around the world. It is not intended to be an international code that specifies limits and admissible values, thus encouraging timid, conservative designs that are repetitions of approved and tested designs. Indeed, it may be the very fact that no international code exists specifically for footbridges that encourages the wide variety of footbridge designs found today.
It should be noted that numerous guidelines, codes and books have been published on bridge design in general. Information given in those publications that is also applicable to footbridges is not repeated in Bulletin 32.
The chapters of these guidelines all follow the same pattern:
* an introduction to the subject, general guidelines as well as do's and don'ts;
* a summary of information found in existing international codes, recommendations, experience of the authors, and built examples with comparison and comments on this information;
* examples.
Plenty of illustrations and photographs help to visualize the themes of this work. The last chapter, 'Case Studies', contains footbridges each with a short summary of main structural data and references for further reading.
