One of the world's currently largests tunnel projects is under construction at the Yangtze River estuary: the Shanghai Yangtze River Tunnel project, with its length of 8950 m and a diameter of 15.43 m. The Shanghai Yangtze River Tunnel. Theory, Design and Construction, which was presented as a special issue at the occasion of the 6th International Symposium Geotechnical Aspects of Underground Construction in Soft Ground (IS-Shanghai, China, 10-12 April 2008), contains a comprehensive collection of papers dedicated to one of the most complex underground works recently undertaken, and covers a variety of topics:
– Experiment and design;
– Construction and monitoring;
– Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation;
– Risk assessment, and
– Project management.
This book will be invaluable to scientists and engineers working in the analysis, design, construction and management of tunnels in soft ground.

Fibre Reinforced cementitious Composites (Modern Concrete Technology)
Taylor & Francis | ISBN: 041525048X | 2006-12-21 | PDF | 601 pages | 4 Mb
Advanced cementitious composites can be designed to have outstanding combinations of strength (five to ten time that of conventional concrete) and energy absorption capacity (up to 1000 times that of plain concrete).
This second edition brings together in one volume the latest research developments in this rapidly expanding area. The book is split into two parts. The first part is concerned with the mechanics of fibre reinforced brittle matrices and the implications for cementitious systems. In the second part the authors describe the various types of fibre-cement composites, discussing production processes, mechanical and physical properties, durability and applications. Two new chapters have been added, covering fibre specification and structural applications.
Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Composites will be of great interest to practitioners involved in modern concrete technology and will also be of use to academics, researchers and graduate students.

This MATLAB function was developed for applications of the direct stiffness method for structural analysis which involves partitioning stiffness matrices and load/displacements vectors as well as reconstructing them based on the support conditions of each node of the structure.
The function was written using logical indexing to avoid looping, and as a result the process is much more efficient at partitioning matrices. While this function performs a relatively simple task, it will be useful to those who want to improve the performance of existing FEA code in MATLAB.

The Ecology of Building Materials by Bjorn Berge
Reed Educational and Professional Publishing Ltd 2000, 2001 | ISBN: 0750654503 | 474 Pages | PDF | 10 MB
The Ecology of Building Materials came out originally in 1992 in Scandinavia. It has now been revised and adapted for the English-speaking world. The book is far-reaching in its subject matter: too far, maybe, for some readers. There may well be the inevitable mistake or certain inaccuracies, if one dissects the information. On discovery of any such mistakes, I would greatly appreciate the corrected information being sent to me via the publishers, so any new editions will not repeat the same mistake. Any other comments, additions or ideas are also very welcome. Many have helped me in preparing this new edition, first and foremost my colleagues in our two Norwegian offices, Gaia Lista and Gaia Oslo. Howard Liddell in Gaia Scotland has given a great deal of worthwhile and necessary help in the preparation of the English edition.

David Wagg, Ian Bond, Paul Weaver, Michael Friswell "Adaptive Structures: Engineering Applications"
Wiley | 2007-07-10 | ISBN: 0470056975 | 314 pages | PDF | 6,6 MB
Adaptive structures have the ability to adapt, evolve or change their properties or behaviour in response to the environment around them. The analysis and design of adaptive structures requires a highly multi-disciplinary approach which includes elements of structures, materials, dynamics, control, design and inspiration taken from biological systems. Development of adaptive structures has been taking place in a wide range of industrial applications, but is particularly advanced in the aerospace and space technology sector with morphing wings, deployable space structures; piezoelectric devices and vibration control of tall buildings.
Bringing together some of the foremost world experts in adaptive structures, this unique text:
includes discussions of the application of adaptive structures in the aerospace, military, civil engineering structures, automotive and MEMS.
presents the impact of biological inspiration in designing adaptive structures, particularly the use of hierarchy in nature, which typically induces multi-functional behavior.
sets the agenda for future research in adaptive structures in one distinctive single volume.
Adaptive Structures: Engineering Applications is essential reading for engineers and scientists working in the fields of intelligent materials, structural vibration, control and related smart technologies. It will also be of interest to senior undergraduate and postgraduate research students as well as design engineers working in the aerospace, mechanical, electrical and civil engineering sectors.
