This design guide serves as Singapore’s national code of practice for the use of alternative steel materials in design to the British Standard “BS 5950 Structural use of steelwork in building”, including those manufactured to British Standards. Steel materials not covered in BS 5950 by default shall be allowed with or without restrictions if they are in compliance with the provisions of this design guide.
The objective of this design guide is to ensure that only adequate (in terms of material performance) and reliable (in terms of quality assurance) steel materials, regardless of material standards to which the materials are manufactured to, are used in the design of structural steelworks to ensure public safety.
This design guide only gives provisions for structural design based on BS 5950, and therefore only serves as guidance at the design stage. It has been assumed in the drafting of this design guide that the execution of its provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified persons, in compliance with appropriate execution standards to control materials, fabrication and erection of steelwork.
As a code of practice, this design guide takes the form of guidance and recommendations. It should not be quoted as if it was a specification and particular care should be taken to ensure that claims of compliance are not misleading. Reference for additional design recommendations other than those given in this design guide shall be made to various parts of BS 5950.
This design guide does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of this design guide are responsible for their correct application.
Compliance with this design guide does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.

Intermediate Dynamics for Engineers: A Unified Treatment of Newton-Euler and Lagrangian Mechanics
Intermediate Dynamics for Engineers: A Unified Treatment of Newton-Euler and Lagrangian Mechanics
By Oliver O'Reilly
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Number Of Pages: 408
Publication Date: 2008-08-04
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0521874831
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780521874830
Binding: Hardcover
Product Description:
This book has sufficient material for two full-length semester courses in advanced engineering dynamics. As such it contains two tracks (which overlap in places). During the first course a Newton-Euler approach is used, followed by a Lagrangian approach in the second. In discussing rotations for the second course, time constraints permit a detailed discussion of only the Euler angle parameterization of a rotation tensor from Chapter 6 and a brief mention of the examples on rigid body dynamics discussed in Chapter 9. The text includes invaluable exercises at the end of each chapter that are highly structured and intended as a self-study aid. Validated solutions are provided, many of which can be performed in simulation using MATLAB® or Mathematica®.

As a engineer or manager many times we have to estimate quantities (bill of material) at early stage (feasibility stage) of project. This is required by client to get an idea of capital cost of project for budget purpose. Client needs this to present the bank to get the loan for a particular project. This estimate is also important for us as engineers to give some how (+/- 15% ) cost of our discipline. All these quantities are based on our previous projects or thumb rules. If these quantities are close enough to real, it makes our position stronger in market.
I would like to discuss these MTO (material take off) with all you guys, so we can share our experience and achieve better results in future. Any of you have similar kind (multistory commercial/residential) of information, please share it.
I will start with my numbers.
1) Enclsed or partially enclosed process building (mining sector with multiple floors 60.0 ft high)
Structural Steel = 1.2 to 1.5 lb/ft^3 (Vol. of Building in ft^3)
Structural Concrete= .07 to .09 Cu. yd/ft^2 (GF Covered Area ft^2) (individual footing or pile cap for each column)
Patterner for Windows is a powerful collection of tools to work with 3d surface meshes. It will allow you to design and produce production drawings of 3d surfaces.

Software used for the design, analysis and manufacture of pre-tensioned fabric structures.
Patterner for Windows ® - Bruno Postle
Patterner is one of the few software packages in the world to provide the tools to create membrane structures. Developed in house at Rudi Enos Design by Bruno Postle, it is considered to be 'state of the art' for visualisation and patterning. All the production patterns for many different projects have been created with 'Patterner'. See www.patterner.co.uk
Tech-net 'EASY' membrane force and cable analysis software.
EASY analysis tools provide the most effective method of assessing the forces in the structures membrane, it's cables and the reaction loads on the supporting steelwork. With the ability to define and model precisely the ultimate tensile strength and stiffness of the membrane and reinforcement materials, and then to determine maximum loads, deflections and reaction loads from the dynamic membrane, every condition can be simulated and shown.
Fabric structures possess significant structural and architectural advantages over conventional structures. However, fabric structures also present a unique set of design challenges. The shapes of membrane structures cannot be chosen at random. The absence of bending resistance's requires designers to work within the constraints of feasible membrane equilibrium shapes. These shapes are usually complex, doubly curved surfaces which must be pretensioned in such a way to resist applied loading such as wind and snow. A tensile membrane structure is prestressed and stabilised by the counteracting tensions of opposing curvatures of an anticlastic surface (two-directional curvature of opposite sign, as a saddle surface). Where flat profile sheet design is envisaged, the initial prestress is significantly higher due to the need to prevent movement. Special non-linear techniques are necessary for the structural analysis of tension structures, since membranes undergo shape changes under varying load conditions and fabric materials exhibit complex stress-strain response. Computer-based finite element techniques such as EASY are used to solve these non-linear problems.
Many other software tools are used for projects, which include Finite Element Analysis, etc.

Reloaded
Architects' Data provides an essential reference for the initial design and planning of a building project. Organised largely by building type, and with over 6000 diagrams, it provides a mass of data on spatial requirements and also covers planning criteria and considerations of function and siting.
Most illustrations are dimensioned and each building type includes plans, sections, site layouts and design details. There are substantial new sections on:
*building components
*services
*heating
*lighting
*thermal and sound insulation
*fire protection
*designing for the disabled
An extensive bibliography and a detailed set of metric/imperial conversion tables are included.
Since it was first published in Germany in 1936, Ernst Neufert's handbook has been progressively revised and updated through 35 editions and many translations. This Third Edition of the English language version has been revised for the first time in 20 years and completely reworked, with 40% more material, to provide a major new edition for an international readership.

I want to create a multidrawing table layout and i can't find a way to insert at drawing title the name of the assemblies which are contained by the multi-drawing. Does anyone know any solution? Is there any formula or attribute that can do this job?
Thank you!
