I post in this section because it is to do with bridge design, strictly speaking, this could be in the Water and Hydraulic Engineering Forum. May I request Moderator to change it if it is not in the right Forum? Thanks!
Lynn Beadle " Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat"
Taylor & Francis | 2001-12-14 | ISBN: 0415232414 | 1024 pages | PDF | 11,7 MB
In this new millennium, given the continued expansion of technology, materials science and telecommunication coupled with development of social and geo political systems, we can expect the design and shape of our urban environment to change enormously. This two-volume set, the result of the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat 6th World Congress: Cities in the Third Millennium, examines the issues which must be addressed if we are to have a common understanding of the forces of change.
Experts in architecture, engineering and planning contribute a commentary on the existing condition of urban design, sociology and tall buildings, and expand the boundaries of new construction and engineering technology. These in-depth proceedings, bringing together the world's leading decision makers in urban development, will be essential reading for engineers, architects, planners and others involved with shaping the urban environment of the future.

Design is widely recognised as the key to improving the quality of the built environment. This well-illustrated book comprises 15 chapters written by leading practitioners, clients, academics and other experts, and presents the latest thinking on what design quality is and how to achieve it. For design practitioners and their clients alike, the book provides evidence to justify greater focus on, and investment in, design. It summarises the benefits that arise from good design - such as, civic pride in the urban environment, the stimulation of urban regeneration, corporate identity, occupant productivity and health in offices, improved learning outcomes in schools, better patient recovery rates in hospitals, as well as reduced environmental impact. And it illustrates these benefits through case study examples.
Eight chapters focus on case studies of exemplary buildings in particular sectors - offices, schools, housing, and hospitals - and explain why and how they came to be designed, and the design qualities they exhibit.

Review:
'This book offers a refreshing and fascinating look at mega-projects from the perspective of public evaluation and planning. With the changing role of the public sector in planning and implementing large-scale projects and a subsequent strong emergence of private-public modes of operation, mega-projects have become a problematic phenomenon. This volume is a major source of information and reference. It provides the reader with unique insights and caveats in mega-projects planning.'- Peter Nijkamp, Free University, Amsterdam, The Netherlands'Building on the seminal work of Bent Flyvbjerg, this book is a collection of expert contributions that will prove essential to anyone wanting to understand why mega-projects go wrong and how they can be made to work better.'- Professor Sir Peter Hall, University College London, UK

Introduction to the Design and Behavior of Bolted Joints
John H. Bickford "Introduction to the Design and Behavior of Bolted Joints, 4 Ed.: Non-Gasketed Joints"
CRC | 2007-08-24 | ISBN: 0849381762 | 568 pages | PDF | 4 MB
Redesigned for increased accessibility, this fourth edition of the bestselling Introduction to the Design and Behavior of Bolted Joints has been divided into two separate but complementary volumes. Each volume contains the basic information useful to bolting experts in any industry, but because the two volumes are more clearly focused, they are easier and more efficient to use. The first volume, Non-Gasketed Joints, describes the design, behavior, misbehavior, failure modes, and analysis of the bolts and bolted joints that play a large, even ubiquitous, role in the myriad machines and structures that form our world. The author elucidates why proper bolt tension - often called preload - is critical to the safety and reliability of an assembled joint. He introduces many ways to create that preload as well as ways to measure or inspect for it, then covers how to design joints that are less apt to misbehave or fail, using the guidelines, procedures, and simple algebraic mathematics included in the text. The book provides numerous tables, charts, graphs, and appendices, giving you all the information and data required to design and use non-gasketed bolted joints. Now leaner and meaner, this new edition is better suited for classrooms as well as the practicing engineer.

Finite Element Techniques for Fluid Flow
Jerome J. Connor
Transatlantic Arts | ISBN: 0408001763 | 1977-02 | PDF (OCR) | 340 pages | 7.3 Mb
Preface:
Until recently, finite element techniques were almost exclusively used in structural engineering problems but now there is a growing awareness of their potential in other engineering fields, especially in fluid mechanics.
This book presents these recent advances in a simple way. The authors have been mainly concerned with producing a text for teaching which can be easily followed by the self-taught student. The last part will undoubtedly also be of use to research workers. The reader will be led from the basic principles of Chapter 1, and the simple finite element concepts and models given in Chapters 2 and 3, step by step to more complex applications. A chapter (4) on the governing equations of fluid flow has been included o provide a more complete progression, though this is not intended for those already well versed in fluid dynamics. Chapter 5 is concerned with the solution of potential type problems and Chapter 6 sets out viscous flow problems in porous media: both are topics well suited to finite element solutions and of general interest to the engineer, applied mathematician and physicist.
In the remaining chapters the solutions of more specialised problems are presented. Chapter 7 describes how circulation problems can be tackled using finite elements, Chapter 8 deals with the solution of the mass transfer equation and Chapter 9 discusses ways of solving general transient incompressible flows. Since this book contains more material than could be used in a standard course, the authors have also indicated in t he contents some sections which could be omitted without affecting the general structure. Those students not interested in coastal engineering and transport type problems could in addition leave out Chapters 7 and 9. Finally, the authors wish to thank all those who made this book possible, especially their research associates Dr. R. Adey, Mr. J. Rodenhuis, Dr. S. Smith and Dr. J. Wang.
