Structural Timber Design is a comprehensive textbook that provides students of building and civil engineering courses with a wealth of information and in-depth guidance on design methods to the recently revised BS 5268 : Part 2 and the proposed Eurocode 5. It is also an invaluable reference source and design aid for practising engineers and architects. The text provides a step-by-step approach to the design of all the most commonly used timber elements and connections (illustrated by detailed work examples), and encourages the use of computers to carry out design calculations. I t covers the characteristics of timber; a review of BS 5268: Part 2 and its requirements; the design of beams and columns of solid, glued laminated and composite sections and mechanical and glued timber connections. The book also reviews the proposed Eurocode 5 and its limit states requirements, including the design of flexural and axially loaded members and connections.

Roxanna McDonald “Illustrated Building Pocket Book, Second Edition"
Butterworth-Heinemann | 2006-12-12 | ISBN: 0750680156 | 240 pages | PDF | 7,9 MB
Building and architecture has developed a language of its own, with terms and jargon that can confuse an expert let alone an outsider. Misunderstandings over what a word means can be irritating but unimportant, but could in the worst cases be costly or even dangerous.
Traditional building dictionaries rely on the reader to already know what the correct word is, and that's not always the case. Roxanna McDonald's technique is radically different, and makes full use of the power of visual communication to convey information. Each stage of the building and design process is illustrated, and each hand-drawn illustration is carefully labelled with the relevant technical terms, to ensure that each term is used correctly and consistently by everyone working on a project.
The 'Illustrated Building Pocket Book' is a radical approach to the age-old problem of the ambiguous use of technical language in building and architecture. By using drawings - which leave little room for ambiguity - clarity, safety and certainty can be achieved.
* Detailed hand-drawn images explain what terms mean and show how to use them
* Logical progression though the building process
* Avoid costly and dangerous misunderstandings about what is meant by building jargon

Advances in Mathematical Modeling and Experimental Methods for Materials and Structures
Advances in Mathematical Modeling and Experimental Methods for Materials and Structures: The Jacob Aboudi Volume (Solid Mechanics and Its Applications)
Rivka Gilat, Leslie Banks-Sills
Springer | English | 2010-01-01 | ISBN: 9048134668 | 312 pages | PDF | 13,4 MB
This work presents a collection of papers, written by leading authors in honor of Professor Jacob Aboudi.
Jacob Aboudi served as Head of the Department of Solid Mechanics, Materials and Structures, as Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and as Incumbent of the Diane and Arthur Belfer Chair of Mechanics and Biomechanics. Aboudi has published more than 200 papers, 2 books and is a leading authority in the field of composite materials.
The papers in this volume cover a wide spectrum of topics in the forefront of research in experimental methods and mathematical modeling of materials and structures. Subjects treated include developments in materials science, theoretical and applied mechanics, applied mathematics, applied physics, computational methods in engineering, mechanical and civil engineering. Both theoretical and experimental approaches are presented. As this book reflects the state of the art, possible engineering applications and future research directions are suggested.

WinRAR is a powerful archive manager. It can backup your data and reduce size of email attachments, decompress RAR, ZIP and other files downloaded from Internet and create new archives in RAR and ZIP file format. WinRAR puts you ahead of the crowd when it comes to compression. By consistently creating smaller archives, WinRAR is often faster than the competition. This will save you disc space, transmission costs AND valuable working time as well. It supports all popularcompression formats (RAR, ZIP, CAB, ARJ, LZH, ACE, TAR, GZip, UUE, ISO, BZIP2, Z and 7-Zip).
WinRAR is also ideal, if you are sending data through the web. Its 128 bit password encryption and its authenticated signature technology will give you the peace of mind you have been looking for.
Features in 3.91:
• Introduce an original compression algorithm
• Offer an optional compression algorithm highly optimized for multimedia data
• Support files and archives up to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 bytes in size, about 9000PB
• Complete support for RAR and ZIP 2.0 archives
• Support to unpack CAB, ARJ, LZH, TAR, GZ, ACE, UUE, BZ2, JAR, ISO, Z, 7Z archives
• Support NTFS file security and data streams
• Offer both a classic interactive Windows interface and the command line interface
• Functionality for creating a 'solid' archive
• Ability to create and change SFX archives using default and external SFX modules
• Ability to create a multi-volume archive as SFX
• Offer a number of service functions, such as setting a password, adding archive and file comments etc.
Latest changes in WinRAR 3.91
1. This version can decompress 7-Zip archives created with LZMA2 algorithm.
2. Now a password is requested only once when unpacking 7z archives with encrypted file names from context menu. WinRAR 3.90 asked it twice.
3. This version can unpack tar.bz2 archives consisting of several smaller bz2 streams merged together. Previous versions unpacked only the first nested bz2 stream in such composite archive.
4. WinRAR displays CRC32 of files inside of usual .gz (not .tar.gz) rchives. Previous versions left this field blank for GZIP files.
5. Bugs fixed:
a) WinRAR 3.90 displayed "Save" button instead of "Open" or "OK" in "Find archive" dialog ("Open archive" command in "File" menu and "Browse..." command in archiving dialog);
b) WinRAR could display incorrect file names when browsing malformed ZIP archives;
c) WinRAR 3.90 failed to decompress LZH archives created with "-lh7-" algorithm;
d) WinRAR 3.90 could fail to delete a part of files after archiving if delete to Recycle Bin was enabled. This bug was present when working in Windows XP, but not in Windows Vista and Windows 7;
e) when unpacking ISO file using WinRAR "Extract files..." command in Explorer context menu, WinRAR could unpack same archived files twice during the same operation. It displayed the overwrite prompt when unpacking files for the second time;f) hexadecimal search in WinRAR 3.90 "Find" command and console RAR "ih" command failed to find matches if first byte in search string was greater than 127.

The emerging design methodology Reliability-Based Design has become today’s norm in Japanese structural design codes and will soon be included in the international standard codes. To meet this trend, methods for the design and construction of deep foundations have made large advances. As deep foundation construction is one of the most important and applied executions in geotechnical engineering worldwide, both research work by academics and the experience and ideas of practitioners are required to develop this field and meet future standards.
