Structural Toolkit™ is software developed specifically to meet the demanding requirements of a professional structural design office. It provides features to fast-track everyday design tasks, delivering fast and accurate design assistance. Designed and developed in Melbourne over the past decade, it is designed for Australian codes and practices.
Design tools are provided for a range of materials including steel, concrete, timber and masonry and contains common section libraries. References and relevant code clauses are shown and results may be fine tuned with many additional options available. Printed outputs are typically formatted for a single A4 page and can include project details and a customised company logo.
With over 6 years assisting designers in design practices throughout Australia including some of our national consultanting groups, Structural Toolkit offers a reliable tool for the Professional Design Engineer.

Hi gents.
Does anybody have the following books:
"Foundation Design Codes and Soil Investigation in View of International harmonization and performance based design"
Here are few drawings that could be used as an reference for fresh comers from college to understand the concept and method of detailing after the analysis and design of an respective structure.
These are structural drawings for a 5 storied commercial building. I have uploaded all the drawings starting from the center line dwg to final stair case details. These are as enlisted below.
Additional Information:
- The design is based on IS 456 and SP 16.
- For Grade Of Concrete, refer the notes of each Drawing.
- Steel Grade - Fe 415.

Materials science (and engineering), MSE, is arguably the most important engineering discipline.
Materials have always been important to the advance of civilization: entire eras are named after them.
After evolving from the Stone Age through the Bronze and Iron Ages, now in the modern era we have
vast numbers of tailored materials to make use of. We are really living in the Materials Age.
The field of Materials Science deals with all classes of materials from a unified viewpoint and with an
emphasis on the connections between the underlying structure and the processing, properties, and
performance of the material. A materials scientist studies how materials react/behave when subjected
to different conditions (such as mechanical loads, temperature and pressure) and understands that all
materials can be approached from a common set of principles. Most fields in science and engineering
are concerned in some way or other with materials, but only the field of materials science and
engineering focuses directly on them.

Design Of Steel Structures I - By Prof. S.R.Satish Kumar & Prof.A.R.Santha Kumar
Steel is by far the most useful material for building structures with strength of approximately ten times that of concrete, steel is the ideal material for modern construction. Due to its large strength to weight ratio, steel structures tend to be more economical than concrete structures for tall buildings and large span buildings and bridges. Steel structures can be constructed very fast and this enables the structure to be used early thereby leading to overall economy. Steel structures are ductile and robust and can withstand severe loadings such as earthquakes. Steel structures can be easily repaired and retrofitted to carry higher loads. Steel is also a very eco-friendly material and steel structures can be easily dismantled and sold as scrap. Thus the lifecycle cost of steel structures, which includes the cost of construction, maintenance, repair and dismantling, can be less than that for concrete structures. Since steel is produced in the factory under better quality control, steel structures have higher reliability and safety.

DESIGN GUIDE FOR HIGH STRENGTH CONCRETE TO SINGAPORE STANDARD
info:
This design guide serves to extend the use of concrete beyond Grade 60 in the design of concrete structures using CP65. Hence, it is intended for use by engineers familiar with the design of concrete structures using particularly CP65 but who have little or no experience of high strength concrete (HSC). The guide is intended to provide safe design guidance, based on the best available information, especially in the areas not adequately covered by CP65.
In this respect, the guidance and recommendations in the Concrete Society Technical Report 49 are very relevant and have been extensively adopted here where ever possible. However, it should be noted that this guidance deals only with HSC made with normal weight aggregates and it should not be use for light weight aggregate concrete.

The research work presented herein focuses on the behavior of a new type of precast framed structure that consists of steel-concrete hybrid beams and reinforced concrete (RC) columns for use in regions of high seismicity. The hybrid beams consist of a steel truss encased in steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC). The FRC-encased truss provides excellent strength, stiffness and energy dissipation capacity while the randomly oriented steel fibers enhance material ductility and beam shear strength. A new connection scheme was developed for adequate moment and shear transfer between the hybrid beam and RC column during large displacement reversals. Moment transfer was achieved through a combination of external steel rods and steel members connected to the truss chords, while adequate shear transfer was ensured through a bolted connection between the precast column and the embedded steel truss.
In the experimental phase of this research, four beam-column connection subassemblies were tested under large displacement reversals in order to evaluate the seismic performance of the proposed hybrid beam-RC column connection. Test results showed that the proposed connection scheme was effective in transferring moment and shear during large displacement reversals. In addition, beam inelastic rotations of up to 4.4% were measured in the hybrid beams, with good stiffness retention and energy dissipation capacity.
In the analytical phase of the study, models for predicting the envelope moment rotation response of the FRC-encased steel truss beams and their hysteretic behavior were first developed. Then, a prototype precast frame with FRC-encased steel truss beams and RC columns was designed for target roof drifts of 2.0% and 3.0% under ground motions with 10% and 2% probability of exceedance in 50 years, respectively, through the use of an energy-based method. The seismic behavior of the precast frame was evaluated through push-over analysis, as well as inelastic dynamic analyses under ground motions of various intensities. Analysis results showed that the proposed precast frame system is capable of satisfying the target performance criteria provided that the external connections are designed such that joint elastic rotations are limited to 0.5%.

The European Design Guide for Tensile Surface Structures is a product of over three
years work by the members of TensiNet - A Thematic Network for Upgrading the
Built Environment in Europe through Tensile Structures, which was initiated on 1
March 2001.
...
Nevertheless, this European Design Guide for Tensile Surface Structures is not
intended to be a European standard. However, as a ‘state-of-the-art’ report it is a
step in that direction.

"Operational Aspects of Oil and Gas Well Testing" by Stuart McAleese
Handbook of Petroleum Exploration and Production, 1. Second impression 2003, transferred to digital 2006
Elsevier Science | 2006 | ISBN: 0444503114 | 352 pages | PDF | 14 Mb
The recommended practices and guidelines, so defined in the book, are for direction in good working practices. As changes in technology, methodology and experience of the industry develops these practices and guidelines may in the ftillness of time be superseded.
This handbook covers all the major Operational Aspects of Oil and Gas Well Testing and uses a structured approach to guide the reader through the steps required to safely and effectively plan a well test operation under just about any circumstances world wide.
