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.

CEB Bulletin No. 243
Title: Strategies for Testing and Assessment of Concrete Structures affected by Reinforcement Corrosion
Year: 1998
Pages: 184
ISBN: 978-2-88394-040-6
Abstract: Prepared by a Working Party of the Task Group 5.4 'Assessment, Maintenance and Repair' of CEB Commission 5 'Operation and Use', the report aims to present the currently available strategies for testing and assessment of concrete structures with particular reference to reinforcement corrosion. It deals with preparation activities, routine and in-depth inspections, the assessment procedure coming to proposals for intervention, and gives illustrative examples.

FIB - Design of post-tensioned slabs and foundations
Title: Design of post-tensioned slabs and foundations
Year: 1998
Pages: 44
ISBN: 978-1-874266-41-9
Abstract: In 1980 FIP had published ‘Recommendations for the design of flat slabs in post-tensioned concrete’ (out of print already for many years). Prepared by a Working Group of FIP Commission 3 ‘Practical Design’, these new recommendations now represent an update of the previously published. Considering new codes and especially the CEB-FIP Model Code 1990, they address post-tensioned flat slabs and foundation rafts using either bonded or unbonded cables.
The document gives information on this subject as a whole but particular attention is given to the structural analysis and prestressing effects, to the ultimate limit state of punching shear and to the serviceability limit state of verification for deflection and crack control. Detailing and construction recommendations are also presented. Two examples, one of a flat slab and one of a foundation raft, illustrate the design of these structures and the application of the present recommendations.
Approved by the former FIP Commission 3 ‘Practical Design’ and the FIP Council, it is hoped that these recommendations will facilitate the correct design of post-tensioned slabs and foundations.

i have tried to design slab using staadpro using plate element for IS:456:2002 but surprizingly it is giving me very high %steel. Slab is of 3.5X3.5 with loaded 10 KN/sq m. For 150mm thick slab it was giving me 16mm dia steel at 100mm c/c. i was shocked to get this... any advise... i do not claim to be good structural engg but still i know slab design via hand calc...
One of the most Usefull Books for Hydrology students and professors It is very costly too

From the Publisher
A unified presentation of the subject, treating fundamental principles, methods, and problems encountered in the field as a whole. All chapters have been extensively rewritten and expanded to keep up with the enormous growth of the subject matter. Nearly all references have been replaced; new ones have been selected on the basis of significance and general availability. Metric units have been employed exclusively. A conversion table for English units is included as an appendix. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

The Whole Building Handbook: How to Design Healthy, Efficient and Sustainable Buildings
The Whole Building Handbook: How to Design Healthy, Efficient and Sustainable Buildings
Earthscan Publications Ltd. | March 2010 | ISBN-10: 1844075230 | 702 pages | PDF | 85.5 MB
This book is a compendium of all the issues and strategies that architects need to understand to design and construct sustainable buildings for a sustainable society. The authors move beyond the current definition of sustainability in architecture, which tends to focus on energy-efficiency, to include guidance for architecture that promotes social cohesion, personal health, renewable energy sources, water and waste recycling systems, permaculture, energy conservation--and crucially, buildings in relation to their place.
