Strut-and-tie modelling (STM) has been increasingly accepted for the design of concrete structures since it was promoted in the 1980s. In the time since, the method has seen continuing development such that it is now a mature method and its application has been considerably expanded in AS3600-200X. The presentation will outline the Australian requirements, plus demonstrate how the method can be used in conjunction with linear-elastic finite element modelling. Linear and non-linear analysis methods, combined with lower bound plasticity design processes, and with local detailing methods such as strut-and-tie modelling, can form the basis of design of new, complex, structures that are not easily dimensioned using other rational design methods.
The 26-pages pdf file has been presented by Prof. Peter Dux (UQ) in a seminar in Australia 2009. Please find the attached file below.

Jeffrey W. Cody, “Exporting American Architecture 1870-2000"
Routledge | 2003-01-17 | ISBN: 0419246908 | 304 pages | PDF | 6,9 MB
International clients have long emulated American buildings such as skyscrapers, have followed patterns of American urbanism and have adopted American concepts of form and space for lesiure activities. This unique study examines how North American architecture has been 'transplanted' elsewhere throughout the 20th century. It explains how, why and where American architects, contractors, developers, planners, or building material exporters have marketed architecture overseas. Architectural historians, urban planners, architects and planning professionals will find this book of interest. Postgraduates and researchers in planning history, geography and cultural studies will find this an excellent resource.

Product Description:
Tunnels have a high degree of risk that needs to be assessed and managed. Underground works intersect and interact with natural materials, incorporating their characteristics as structural components of their own stability. For this reason geotechnical risk analyses are implemented at all phases of tunnel construction, from design through to post-construction maintenance. Analysis of geotechnical risk involves a group of studies which lead to the identification and evaluation of the potential probability of error and the consequences of its occurrence. This volume considers construction and safety, financing and control, and exploration and maintenance. Eminent specialists discuss risk assessment and management, based both on advanced theoretical concepts and on practical experience. The book is of interest to a wide range of professionals involved in planning, construction and management of tunnels: entrepreneurs, designers, consultants and contractors.
A relevant contribution to the area of geotechnical risk assessment, this book addresses the risks present in subterranean works from different perspectives such as “construction and safety”, “financing and control” and “exploration and maintenance”. The contributors discuss risk assessment and management based on advanced theoretical concepts and on practical experience. They explore lessons learned from failures and accidents, the use of decision aids for tunneling, TBMs on fault zones, vibration design for high speed railway tunnels, hydrogeology in high speed railway tunnels, high profile tunnels currently under development, and more.
This volume considers:
construction and safety
financing and control
exploration and maintenance.
Eminent specialists discuss risk assessment and management, based both on advanced theoretical concepts and on practical experience. The book is of interest to a wide range of professionals involved in planning, construction and management of tunnels: entrepreneurs, designers, consultants and contractors.

General Theory of Elastic Stability
By J.M.T. Thompson, Giles William Hunt
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons Ltd
Djvu 4.4 Mb
Number Of Pages: 336
Publication Date: 1973-01-01
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0471859915
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780471859918
This book, is the result of a decade of research activity and presents a general nonlinear mathematical theory of elastic stability for conservative systems. Generalized coordinates are employed, and the treatise represents a sizeable contribution to bifurcation theory of classical mechanics in the spirit of H. Poincare. It has important applications in the nonlinear eigenvalue analyses of practical solids and structures, making it of immediate concern to structural engineers, as well as to wider audiences across the physical sciences
in such areas as crystallography and cosmology.

Hi Friends,
I've put couple of word files where i've put in the design load combinations required to analyze building and foundation in Etabs and Safe respectively in two separate word files. Make use....
Happy to help..
God Bless All

Book Description:
The finite element method (FEM) has become one of the most important and useful tools for scientists and engineers. This new book features the use of MATLAB to present introductory and advanced finite element theories and formulations. MATLAB is especially convenient to write and understand finite element analysis programs because a MATLAB program manipulates matrices and vectors with ease. The book is suitable for introductory and advanced courses in the Finite Element Method, as well as a reference for practicing engineers.
