This volume is one of a series of Monographs prepared under the aegis of the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, a series that is aimed at documenting the state of the art of the planning, design, conslruction, and operation of tall buildings as well as their interaction with the urban environmenL The present series is built upon an original set of five Monographs published by the American Society of Civil Engineers, as follows:
Volume PC: Plnrming nrzd En~rironn~enraClr irerio for Toll Beildings
Volume SC: Tall Building Sysrems ond Cortceprs
Volunze CL: Tall Building Criteria nnd Loading
Volume SB: Srrucrurol Design of Toll Sreel Btrildings
Voltrme CB: Srmcrural Design of Tall Concrele and Mosorrry Buildings
Following the publication of a number of updates to these volumes, it was decided by the Steering Group of the Council lo develop a new series. It would be based on the original effort but would focus more strongly on the individual topical committees rather than the groups. This would do two things. It would free the Council committees from restraints as to length. Also it would permit material on a given topic to reach the public more quickly.
The result was the Toll Buildings and Urban Enr,iron~nensf eries, being published by McGraw-Hill. Inc.. New York. The present Monograph joins sixothers, the first of which was reieased in 1992:
Cost-in-Place Concrere in Toll Building Design ond Consrrucrion Clodding
Building Design for Handicapped ond Aged Persons
Fire Safely in Tall Buildings
Senxi-Rigid Connecrions in Steel Frornes
Cold-Formed Sfeel in Tall Buildings
This parlicular Monograph was prepnrcd by the Council's Committee 3. Strucmral Systems. Its earlier treatment was n part of Volume SC. It dealt with the many issues relating to tall building structural systems when it was published in 1980. The committee decided that a volume featuring cane studies of many of the most important buildings of the lust two decades would provide professionals with some interesting comparisons of how and why structural systems were chosen. The result of the committee's cfforls is this Monograph. It provides case studies of tall buildings from Japan. the United States. Malaysia. Australia. New Zealand. Hong Kong. Spain, and Singapore.
This unique international survey examines the myriad of archirecturni. engineering, and construcdon issues that must be taken into account in designing tall buildtag structural systems.

Book Description:
This key text is written for senior undergraduate and graduate engineering students. It delivers a complete introduction to finite element methods and to automatic adaptation (error estimation) that will enable students to understand and use FEA as a true engineering tool. It has been specifically developed to be accessible to non-mathematics students and pres the only complete text for FEA with error estimators for non-mathematicians. Error estimation is taught on nearly half of all FEM courses for engineers at senior undergraduate and postgraduate level; no other existing textbook for this market covers this topic.
* The only introductory FEA text with error estimation for students of engineering, scientific computing and applied mathematics
* Includes source code for creating and proving FEA error estimators
* Complete with homework exercises and supporting website with instructor's solutions manual

This revision of design manual has been prepared to account for the changes of ZAMIL STEEL standards
during the last four years since 1999 regarding single skin & Tempcon panels, built-up sections standard
dimensions, serviceability consideration and some standard connections, also this revision of design
manual presents the results of special technical studies carried out in the ZAMIL STEEL PRD department
including finite element studies using most recent software techniques, buckling analysis studies and also
derived formulas using numerical correlation studies. Designers can make use of these studies to enhance
the design process.
This revision of the design manual also resolves some miscellaneous and confusing points that were
reported to PRD department.
The contents of this manual were rearranged and presented in “Adobe Acrobat” format along with
navigation pane to ensure effective and fast use of this manual.
Design/Quote engineers are strongly advised to read this manual as a whole in conjunction with the
standard codes and manuals stated in clause 2.1 page 2-1 of this manual.

Reducing Earthquake Losses
Roger C. Herdman,
U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment | ISBN: 0160482674 | 1995 | PDF | 172 pages | 5 Mb
Earthquakes have caused massive death and destruction, and potentially damaging earthquakes are certain to occur in the future. Although earthquakes are uncontrollable, the losses they cause can be reduced by building structures that resist earthquake damage, matching land use to risk, developing emergency response plans, and other means. Since 1977, the federal government has had a research oriented program to reduce earthquake losses the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP). This program has made significant contributions toward improving our understanding of earthquakes and strategies to reduce their impact. Implementing action based on this understanding, however, has been quite difficult. This chapter provides an introduction to earthquakes: a sum mary of the earthquake hazard across the United States, a review of the types of losses earthquakes cause, a discussion of why earthquakes are a congressional concern, and an introduction to mitigation actions taken prior to earthquakes that can reduce losses when they occur. The federal policy response to date, NEHRP is then described and reviewed. Finally, specific policy options for improving federal efforts to reduce future earthquake losses are presented.

I suggest there should be a separate thread on "green" engineering. Specifically Wind and Solar engineering, and other Special structures or materials with applications to (the future technologies for) civil engineering. this is the knowledge everyone should be acquainted.
