Product Description:
The Finite Element Method (FEM) has become an indispensable technology for the modelling and simulation of engineering systems. Written for engineers and students alike, the aim of the book is to provide the necessary theories and techniques of the FEM for readers to be able to use a commercial FEM package to solve primarily linear problems in mechanical and civil engineering with the main focus on structural mechanics and heat transfer.
Fundamental theories are introduced in a straightforward way, and state-of-the-art techniques for designing and analyzing engineering systems, including microstructural systems are explained in detail. Case studies are used to demonstrate these theories, methods, techniques and practical applications, and numerous diagrams and tables are used throughout.
The case studies and examples use the commercial software package ABAQUS, but the techniques explained are equally applicable for readers using other applications including NASTRAN, ANSYS, MARC, etc.
Full sets of PowerPoint slides developed by the authors for their course on FEM are available as a free download from a companion website.
* A practical and accessible guide to this complex, yet important subject
* Covers modeling techniques that predict how components will operate and tolerate loads, stresses and strains in reality
* Full set of PowerPoint presentation slides which illustrate and support the book are available on a companion website.

Sustainable Construction
By Sandy Halliday
Publisher: Butterworth-Heinemann
Number Of Pages: 408
Publication Date: 2008-01-23
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0750663944
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780750663946
It has taken a very long time for sustainable development to be recognised as a justified restraint on inappropriate development and a primary driver of improving quality of life for all.
For designers, clients and project managers this means we have to create healthy buildings and places which support communities, enhance biodiversity and contribute to reversing unsustainable trends in pollution and resource consumption. It is a very positive agenda.
This groundbreaking book will help all building design, management and cost professionals to understand sustainable design and provide the technical skills needed to implement the most up-to-date concepts. Based on a hugely successful series of workshops for professionals in construction, the book covers the history of ideas, materials, measurement – both cost and benchmarking performance – environmental services, and the building design and delivery process through to post-occupancy evaluation. It covers individual buildings and the urban scale.
Sustainable Construction is a master-class in how to achieve practical, affordable, replicable, sustainable design.
It has something new and often surprising in it for everybody in the construction industry.
For the Architect and Engineer it gives chapter and verse to the basic design issues at all scales and through the whole of the plan of work
For Quantity Surveyors and cost professionals it challenges current conventions with researched case study evidence”
For clients and project managers it outlines the drivers and the justification for a sustainable approach and outlines the legislative framework; and it gives guidance on procurement and project and site management issues
For contractors and developers it contains a wealth of case study material, rooted in practical experience and economic reality.
For teachers and students it will bust myths, liberate thinking and inform design
*Best practice solutions and case studies
*Practical advice on implementation of sustainable construction techniques
*Prepared by industry experts for their peers

The construction of the Millau viaduct in the southeast of France was a colossal engineering effort. The piers rise 803 feet from ground level, and the bridge weighs 400,000 tons. The bridge is supported by seven huge pillars. When the thickness of the platform (14 feet) and the height of the pillars are included, the total height reaches 1102 feet. That is about 50 feet higher than the famous Eiffel Tower. Construction of this bridge required more than 350,000 tons of concrete and 40,000 tons of steel. Assembled with the precision of a Swiss watch, this giant was designed to resist winds of up to 130 miles per hour and has cost almost 300 million euros (US$523 million). Built across the mountainous terrain of the Tarn river valley, the 8071-foot long bridge is part of the A-75 freeway that connects the cities of Clermont-Ferrand and Béziers. It will shorten by more than 60 miles the route connecting Paris with the Mediterranean. Seven European countries participated in construction of the bridge, the design of which was the work of the prestigious British architect, Sir Norman Foster, of Manchester, England.

G.N. Smith & Ian G.N. Smith: Elements of Soil Mechanics 7th Edition
G.N. Smith & Ian G.N. Smith: Elements of Soil Mechanics 7th Edition
Now in its Seventh Edition, this well established hook provides undergraduate and HND students of civil engineering with a core text on the theory and treatments of soil mechanics. The fundamental principles of the subject are explained clearly and logically and their use in practical applications is well illustrated.
The book also features a wide range of worked examples and problems which help to aid student centered Learning.
Key features of the new edition are:
• for the first time, an introduction to practical geotechnical design using limit state theory, together with new worked examples
• an outline of the changes introduced by the draft European GeotechnicaL Design Code, Eurocode 7
• a revised section on unsaturated soils
• new material in a number of areas including soil nailing„ highway design, and in situ moisture content determination
• an enlarged text page with more user-friendly presentation

I am a civil engineer from Spain with a MSc in Geotechnical Engineerring in UK. I have more than 5 years of experience in geotechnical engineering working for both designers and contractors.
I have worked 4 years in the UK and now I am in the eastern part of Europe trying to design and build two motorways.
I just would like to say that this forum is an excellent way of exchanging both experince and resources and that we should do our best to help each other.
From my side you will get technical solution to geotechnical problems as well as a huge collection of books and spreadhseets.
Foundations of Theory of Plasticity
By L. M Kachanov
* Publisher: North-Holland Pub. Co
* Number Of Pages: 482

Summary: A foundation book in the field of plasticity of continuous media
Rating: 5
The book of Kachanov on the Fundamentals of the Theory of Plasticity and the book of R. Hill on the Mathematical Theory of Plasticity are undoubtedly the two books that any researcher in the field of applied mechanics must hold. The book of Kachanov is still today unparalleled as far as it concerns presentation of difficult concepts of plasticity theory in a way understandable from any student or practitioner in the field of engineering. The material presented covers all aspects from plasticity theory including e.g. limit analysis, flow rule, hardening, stability theorems; even a concise but clear presentation of the older deformation theory of plasticity is presented. Certainly, the book shows its age because numerical aspects of plasticity theory are not included. However, this is a book, which greatly contributed to the diffusion of plasticity theory and must be read by anyone who whish to undertake research in the field of mechanics of deformable media.
