Hi all,
I have a drawing which is in feet-in. I need it in meters is there any option that cad does itself. I am not interested in alternate units. Because I need to convert and then import it to etabs. And if it has to be done manually how to do it.
Klaus Kirsch "Ground Improvement, 2nd Edition"
Published by Taylor & Francis | October 2004 | ISBN : 0415274559 | PDF Format, pages | English | 6.0 MB
Ground Improvements, 2nd Edition is written for geotechnical and civil engineers, and for contractors working in grouting, ground improvement, piling and environmental engineering. Advanced students will find the book a valuable source of reference.
The increasing need to redevelop land in urban areas has led to major development in the field of ground improvement, a process that is continuing and expanding. Vibratory deep compaction and grouting techniques have also been increasingly applied to solving the problems of urban development, whether from tunnelling, excavation, building renovation or bearing capacity improvement and settlement reduction.
The second edition of this well established book continues to provide an international overview of the major techniques in use. Comprehensively updated in line with recent developments, each chapter is written by an acknowledged expert in the field.

Ye, “Stress Analysis: Theory, tutorials and examples”
Taylor & Francis | 2008-07-02 | ISBN: 0415368650 | 217 pages | PDF | 1,75 MB
Summarising major concepts and key points, this book tests students' knowledge of the principal theories in structural and stress analysis. Its main feature is helping students to understand the subject by asking and answering conceptual questions. Each chapter begins with a summary of key issues and relevant formulas. A `key points' review identifies important concepts which are essential for students' understanding of the chapter. Numerical examples are used to illustrate these concepts and demonstrate the application of the formulas. A short discussion of the problem is provided before the solution is revealed to ensure that students know not only how but also why a formula should be used.i Structural and Stress Analysis is particularly useful for students preparing for exams. Working through these conceptual questions and reviewing the key points summarized in this book provides a structured approach to assess whether or not the subject has been understood and to identify the area where further revision is needed. It is also a useful reference for those who are taking an advanced structural and stress analysis course. Jianqiao Ye is currently a Reader of Structural and Materials Modelling at School of Civil Engineering, the University of Leeds, UK. He has been working as a university lecturer for over 25 years. His research is concerned with mathematical and computer modelling of structures and materials, and he has published extensively in these areas.

Joachim Roesler, Harald Harders, Martin Baeker, "Mechanical Behaviour of Engineering Materials: Metals, Ceramics, Polymers, and Composites"
Springer | 2007-11-14 | ISBN-10: 3540734465 | 536 pages | PDF | 10,7 Mb
How do engineering materials deform when bearing mechanical loads? To answer this crucial question, the book bridges the gap between continuum mechanics and materials science. The different kinds of material deformation (elasticity, plasticity, fracture, creep, fatigue) are explained in detail. The book also discusses the physical processes occurring during the deformation of all classes of engineering materials (metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites) and shows how these materials can be strengthened to meet the design requirements. It provides the knowledge needed in selecting the appropriate engineering material for a certain design problem. The reader will thus learn how to critically employ design rules and thus to avoid failure of mechanical components.
‘Mechanical Behaviour of Engineering Materials’ is both a valuable textbook and a useful reference for graduate students and practising engineers.

Code of Practice for Project Management for Construction and Development
Code of Practice for Project Management for Construction and Development
240 pages
Wiley-Blackwell; 3 edition (November 8, 2002)
1405103094
PDF 1 Mb
In 1991 the Chartered Institute of Building initiated a multi-institute task force and a Code of Practice for Project Management was published in 1992, with a second edition in 1996. Like previous editions, this third edition has been substantially revised to embody the results of intensive consultation between the CIOB and representatives of the professional bodies concerned with construction and development.
The Code is divided into two sections:
the first covers eight stages associated with projects from inception to completion, each one well supported with diagrams, flowcharts and checklists
the second section contains a project handbook, complete with guidance documentation and checklists.
The third edition features new guidance on:
project planning
EU procurement procedures
performance management plan
partnering
project risk assessment
environmental impact assessment
procurement options and
value for money framework.
Effective project management involves the assessment and management of risk, and this is a strong theme throughout the Code.
The Code of Practice provides an authoritative guide to the principles and practice of construction project management. It will be a key reference source for clients, contractors and professionals, irrespective of the size and nature of the project. Much of the information is also relevant to project managers in other commercial spheres.
