Response Control and Seismic Isolation of Buildings (Cib Proceedings)
By Masa Higashino
* Publisher: Taylor & Francis
* Number Of Pages: 400
* Publication Date: 2006-10-17
* Binding: Hardcover
Product Description:
Many countries and cities are located in earthquake-prone areas, and effective seismic design has been long been a major issue in structural engineering. Reassuringly, structural response control and seismic isolation have advanced remarkably in recent years following numerous studies internationally. Several major conferences have been held and reports have been written but little has been issued on the application of the technologies to good structural engineering practice. This state of the art report from an internationally-based task group (TG44) of CIB, the international council of building research organizations, presents a highly authoritative guide to the application of innovative technologies on response control and seismic isolation of buildings to practice worldwide.

The Lightweight Treated Soil Method
By Takashi Tsuchida, Kazuhiko Egashira
* Publisher: Taylor & Francis
* Number Of Pages: 109
* Publication Date: 2004-08-15
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 9058096920
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9789058096920
Product Description:
The lightweight treated soil method (LWTS) is a newly developed construction technique within the area of coastal soft ground engineering. In this groundbreaking book, experts Tsuchida and Egashira demonstrate that by using the LWTS method in a soft ground area, the consolidation settlement and the gravity impact of heavy structures can directly be decreased. Based on extensive research and experience, the text offers expert information for dealing with soft ground in the areas of geotechnical and construction engineering. The properties, design and construction techniques of the LWTS method are treated and a number of case studies is presented to illustrate this method in practice.

Theoretical treatments of fracture mechanics abound in the literature. Among the first books to address this vital topic from an applied standpoint was the first edition of Practical Fracture Mechanics in Design. Completely updated and expanded to reflect recent developments in the field, the second edition of this valuable reference concisely reviews all of the fracture modes and design methodologies needed for control and prevention of structural failures in mechanical components. Practical Fracture Mechanics in Design, Second Edition begins with the historical development of the field, which is critical in understanding the origins and purpose of the various methodologies and equations. The book goes on to provide the fundamentals, basic formulas, elementary worked examples, and references with an emphasis on linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM). The author also includes case studies and design problems to clarify the concepts and explain their application. New chapters cover experimental methods in fracture, fracture of composite materials, dynamic fracture, and post mortem analysis of fracture surfaces. Providing much more than a simple introduction to fracture mechanics, this critical, authoritative guide supplies easy-to-use and understand tools based on hands-on experience in design, emphasizing practical applications over heavily theoretical, rigorous mathematical derivations.

The International Conference of Building Officials is pleased to offer the following set of
checklists:
1997 UBC Accessibility CheckList
1997 UBC Nonstructural CheckList
1997 UBC Structural CheckList
1997 UMC CheckList
1997 UFC CheckList
The checklists have been developed to facilitate the architect, designer, civil engineer and
plan reviewer in the plan review process. These checklists are comprehensive and, as a
result, somewhat lengthy. However, they have been organized and categorized into
subjects that allow the user to quickly identify which comments are applicable to the project.
A code section is referenced within each comment so that the user may refer to the code
provision for further clarification. The comments in the UBC Structural CheckList have been
further classified with a subject title for each comment because of the technical nature of
the list.
As structural engineers this will make our design checks easier and organized :)

Hi all,
I really need this book badly. I hope someone could help me find the links and similar.
Cheers!
Author: Roger A. Dorton, Ranjit S. Reel, National Cooperative Highway Research Program, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.
It's basically about increasing the liveload capacity of an existing highway bridge in special cases.

At Least 50 Tall Buildings Now on Hold
Construction of at least 50 tall buildings is on hold after initiation of foundation work, according to the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH). Of the tallest 20, eight are in the Middle East, and six are in Latin America. Projects in the U.S. also are taking a hit. Foundations are complete for the 2,000-foot-tall Chicago Spire, by Santiago Calatrava, but work has been halted.
