Conceptual Structural Design aims to bridge the gap between engineers and architects understanding of structural form and highlight the importance of close collaboration between all members of the design team throughout a project. This book is presented in two parts. The first part is theoretical and investigates source of inspiration for developing structural form, learning from natural forms, applying our own intuition, seeking inspiration from precedents, applying understanding of structural principles, developing design through physical models, and using new design tools, construction methods and materials to develop new structural forms. The second part of the book is presented through a selection of case studies which include interviews with the design teams.

This book is laced with ample illustrations including photographs of real-life wood structures and structural elements across Africa that make for interesting reading. It has numerous manual and Excel spreadsheet worked examples and review questions that can properly guide a first-time designer of wooden structural elements. A number of design problems were also solved using the FORTRAN programming language. This was considered useful for readers who are already familiar with that programming language and could serve as a guide for those who would prefer programming using other languages. Topics covered in the 13 chapters of this book include a brief introduction to this book, the anatomy and physical properties of tropical woods; a brief review of the mechanical properties of wood, timber seasoning and preservation, uses of wood and wood products in construction; basic theory of structures and structural load computations; design of wooden beams, solid and built-up wooden columns, wood connections and wooden trusses; as well as a brief introduction to the design of wooden bridges.

The quake, recorded at 9:18 p.m. on Sunday, was felt as far away as Turkey and Pakistan. The epicenter was near Ezgeleh, Iran, about 135 miles northeast of Baghdad, and had a preliminary magnitude of 7.3, according to the United States Geological Survey. Seismologists in the country said it was the biggest quake to hit the western part of Iran.
Photographs from the region — a patchwork of farms and home to many Kurds, a large ethnic minority in Iran — posted on the internet showed collapsed buildings, cars destroyed by rubble and people sleeping in the streets in fear of aftershocks.
At least 445 people were killed and 7,370 people were injured in Iran, according to the semi-official Tasnim news agency, which gave an estimate significantly higher than the death toll of 407 that officials had announced earlier.
I need the following papers. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thank you very much.
