What turns a building into an icon? What is it about some structures that makes their history and legend even more important than their original intended use, making them a part of American, and world, popular culture? Twenty four buildings and structures, including the Brooklyn Bridge, the White House, the Hotel del Coronado, and the Washington Monument are presented here, along with their roles in fiction, film, music, and the imagination of people worldwide. Approximately twenty five images are included in the set, along with sidebars featuring additional structures.

he Fourth Edition of the SDI Diaphragm Design Manual, DDM04, replaces the Third Edition, DDM03. It includes information for the design of steel deck diaphragms for roof and floor decks and complies with the requirements of the ANSI/AISI S310-2013 North American Standard for the Design of Profiled Steel Diaphragm Panels. It includes information on diaphragm strength and stiffness, fasteners and connections, and warping and stiffness properties. Also included are 25 Design Examples, many of which are being published for the first time. Load Tables for proprietary and, for the first time, generic fasteners are included.

Author(s)/Editor(s): United States Steel | Size: 8.745 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Scanner | Publisher: United States Steel - FHWA | Year: 1984 | pages: 135 | ISBN: n.a.
This manual is directed to the practicing engineer concerned with safe, economical designs of steel sheet pile retaining structures. The content is directed basically toward the designer’s two primary objectives: overall stability of the structural system and the integrity of its various components.
Emphasis is placed on step-by-step procedures for estimating the external forces on the structure, evaluating the overall stability, and sizing the sheet piling and other structural elements.
Graphs and tables are included to aid the designer in arriving at quick solutions.
Three basic types of sheet pile structures are considered: (3) cantilevered and anchored retaining walls, (2) braced cofferdams and (3) cellular cofferdams.
Consideration is also given to the design of anchorage systems for walls and bracing systems for cofferdams.

The design of temporary excavation support to Eurocode 7
Author(s): Paul David Markham
Published By:Geotechnical Engineering Volume 165 Issue GE1, ICE Publishing
Published Year:2011
DOI:10.1680/geng.2012.165.1.3

Quality:Original Preprint
Abstract: This paper examines how Eurocode 7 relates to the design of temporary excavation support. It is shown that total stress design and the net available passive resistance method described in Ciria Report 104 can produce inconsistent results, which must be carefully checked for sensitivity to the soil parameter values used. Many temporary excavations are designed using moderately conservative soil parameter values and a limit equilibrium method of analysis with a lumped factor of safety of 1.5. It is concluded that design in accordance with Eurocode 7 produces higher propping forces than design using this approach, but that Eurocode 7 produces propping forces over 60% lower than design in accordance with Ciria Report C580.

first I apologize if this is a wrong section to post in, but I couldn't find better place to make this request.
Aiming to make comparison of what students learn in Croatian universities and in other universities, I kindly ask all of you who are able to share your lecture notes from the following courses (or equivalents):
- Modeling of structures (e.g. numerical / finite element modeling) - bachelor or master degree
- Remediation of structures - bachelor or master degree
- Concrete structures - bachelor or master degree
- Dynamic soil-structure interaction - master or PhD degree
- Signal processing - master or PhD degree
It is often the case that lectures are restricted for download from university web sites so I wonder if someone has some material that can share here. I would appreciate very much a PowerPoint presentation or PDF. Also, I will appreciate very much if you can share copies of old exams or tasks that one needs to accomplish during a semester.
If more convenient you can share your material with me via Private Messaging.
Kind regards,
G
p.s. I'll be able to cope with materials in English, German, Croatian, Serbian, Bulgarian, Slovenian, Spanish and French. I'm fine with Cyrillic or Latin.

This report includes the detailed nonlinear seismic analysis of a 150-m guyed telecommunication tower. The tower is located in Little Buffalo, Alberta. Canada. and its detailed data was provided by LeBLANC & Royle Telcorn Inc.. Oakville, Ontario. and AGT Limited. Edmonton, Alberta. It has 7 guying stay levels, 7 sro~lndanchor :roup\. and 3 stabilizers or outriggers along the mast. The detailed geometry of the tower is shown in Fig. I.
This tower is one of the eight towers studied by Amiri (1997) in his Ph.D. research.

EAB - Recommendations on Excavations 2014 - 3rd Ed.
Author(s)/Editor(s): German Geotechnical Society | Size: 2.551 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Ernst & Sohn | Year: 2014 | pages: 325 | ISBN: 978-3-433-60398-7
Once the 4th edition was complete in 2006, Anton Weißenbach stepped down from his position as chairman after more than 40 years and retired from the working group along with a number of other long-term members.
Following this, one of the main emphases of the Working Group on Excavations – now under the Chairmanship of the undersigned – was Recommendation R 102 “Modulus of subgrade reaction method”, presented in draft to the professional community, completely revised, in 2011 in the journal Bautechnik.
In line with the imminent introduction of the Eurocodes as binding building regulations it became necessary to adapt the 4th edition of the Recommendations to the provisions of DIN EN 1997-1:2009, in conjunction with National Annex DIN 1997-1/NA:2010-12 and the supplementary regulations
of DIN 1054:2010-12. All Recommendations were thoroughly examined, revised where necessary and adapted to accommodate recent developments.
The experienced user will note that the revisions to this 5th edition are relatively minor. It was possible to retain the majority of the tried and tested regulations, because the safety philosophy has not altered in principle compared to the 4th edition.
