J. P. Den Hartog– Strength of Materials
Dover Publications (1961-06-01) | ISBN: 0486607550 | 323 pages | DjVu | 3,9 Mb
This full, clear treatment of basic material (tension, torsion, bending, etc.) also features advanced material on engineering methods and applications, in addition to 350 problems and answers.
Summary: Probably the best book on strength of materials
Rating: 5
This is the best book on mechanics of materials I have come across. Much more mathematical rigor than similar books by Gere and others. I read this book as an undergraduate and it put me at the top of the class. Of particular note is the Myosotis Method in the section on deflection of beams. This extremely useful method is very powerful, and has been abondonded in most new books becuase of computer software now available. Also has the best treatment of Castigliano Theorem. This book is a must have for any engineer concerned with materials. If your looking for a more advanced book, Advanced Strength of Materials, by the same offer is also very good, but outdated. It does have a very good treatment of shell theory. Better than a good amount of the books on theoretical elasticity that I own. Simply; good author; good book.

Harold Kerzner, Frank P. Saladis, International Institute for Learning, "Value-Driven Project Management"
Wiley | 2009-08-17 | ISBN: 0470500808 | 288 pages | PDF | 3,2 MB
In the traditional view of project management, if a project manager completed a project and had adhered to the triple constraints of time, cost, and performance, the project was considered a success. Today, in the eyes of the customer and the parent or sponsoring company, if a completed project did not deliver its anticipated value, it would be seen as a failure.
Today's changing economic climate, marked by an increasingly competitive global environment, is driving project managers to become more business oriented. Projects must now be viewed from a strategic perspective within the context of a business or enterprise that needs to provide value to both the customer and the organization itself. As a result, project managers are now required to possess the skills to complete a project within certain specifications, and also know how to create and deliver value.
Responding to the needs of today's project managers, Value-Driven Project Management begins by changing the paradigm of project management. Rather than judge the success of a project from the perspectives of time, budget, and quality, the authors demonstrate why success is only achieved when planned business values are met, including:
# Internal value
# Financial value
# Future value
# Customer-related value
The authors also offer best practices that allow you and your organization to create additional value in efficiency, customer satisfaction, and enhanced products and services. Finally, the book helps you incorporate value into clearly defined business objectives and "sell" the value-driven process to executives.
Throughout the book, helpful illustrations clarify complex concepts and processes.
Assigning valuable resources to projects that don't provide some tangible form of value to the organization and to the client is poor management and poor decision-making. On the other hand, selecting and implementing projects that will deliver value and an acceptable return on investment is effective management and decision-making, but is very challenging, especially when a project may not provide its target value for years to come. With Value-Driven Project Management in hand, you'll discover the tools you need to ensure that projects deliver true value upon their completion.

BS 8110-1997, ACI 318-2000 and IS 456-2000 Codes provide methods for calculating the
short-term deflection, deflection due to Creep effects and Shrinkage effects for beams and oneway
slabs. Though the codes are giving the provision for two-way slabs, as span to depth ratio
for deflection control, much variation exists among them. Deflection calculation with creep
and shrinkage effects is not included for two way slabs

With a view to realization of the full potential of the development of harbour facility in Hambantota and recognition of integrating port development with regional development, a comprehensive consultancy study utilizing consultant having experience in greenfield port construction whose work has been acceptable to international lending agencies is in the final stage.
Port of Hambantota is planned as a Service and Industrial Port and subsequently it could be developed as a transshipment port depending on the increasing cargo volumes.
In view of urgency, short term plan has been prepared for a service port as phase 1 of the project in order to cater for the immediate demands in accordance with the master plan. The Main components are two nos. of berth with 500m length, and the Breakwater of about 1.8 km and the proposed port will have depth of 15m. presently negotiations are being held with Government of China for funding arrangements.
Project Staff
Client -
Project Director - Priyath Bandu Wickrama – Chairman
Dy. Project Director - Agil Hewageegana – Deputy Chief Engineer
Contractor –
China Harbour Engineering Co & Sinohydro Corporation ltd JV
Project Features
Phase 1 of the project will cater for initial requirements as identified in Feasibility Study. The proposed port is planned to have the two breakwater arms on the seaside to ensure the safe navigation and the basin and quay walls within the lagoon called “Karagam Lewaya”, having an access channel across the Hambantota - Colombo main road. The main important feature of this project is the construction of the quay wall and basin in dry condition after constructing a cofferdam along the perimeter. The main parameters of the phase 1 are as follows:
·Design Vessel 100,000 DWT
·Approach Channel Width 210m
·Approach Channel Depth 16m
·Turning Circle 600m
·Quay Length( General cargo) 600m
·Service Quay 105 m
