ABSTRACT
The seismic design of connections for both steel moment frame and braced frame members has become much more complicated since the original adoption of the 1997 UBC, current adoption of IBC2000 and pending adoption of IBC2003 in the next year of so by the various States and local Building Departments. Since the 1994 Northridge Earthquake, there have been significant changes in the AISC Seismic Provisions for Steel Buildings (1997 edition, 1997 Supplements #1 and #2, 2002 edition) impacting design of both steel moment frame and steel brace framed lateral resisting systems. The results from the SAC program, initiated after the Northridge Earthquake, lead to the development of the FEMA 350 - 354 documents which are being extensively used for steel moment frame design. The intention of this paper is to provide some practical and useful information regarding connection design for both steel moment frames and steel braced frames. The emphasis is detailing for Seismic Design Categories (SDC) of D and higher which require Special Steel Moment Frames (SMF) and Special Concentric Braced Frames (SCBF). Detailing methods presented in this paper for SMF and SCBF may still be applicable to the steel Intermediate Moment Frame (IMF), steel Ordinary Moment Frame (OMF), and steel Ordinary Concentric Braced Frames (OCBF) in lower SDC A, B and C.

About the Book:
This English version of the French publication, (Dictionnaire du Génie Civil, published by the Conseil International de la Langue Française in 1997) will be a valuable reference tool for civil engineers. There are over 12,000 definitions accompanied by more than 1,300 charts, tables, and graphs. This dictionary is a comprehensive compilation of definitions, examples and descriptions - from the study of soils, and the various materials and equipment used, including the most common architectural terms as they relate to civil engineering. The clear and concise presentation of this dictionary will easily clarify often confusing concepts and correct other lexicological errors. This compendium will be an invaluable tool not only for civil engineers, but also for lawyers, contractors, engineering and design departments, architects, etc. and all trade associations involved with this discipline. This dictionary may also be used as a valuable teaching tool.
Written for:
Civil engineers, general engineers, other professionals like architects, for example, requiring a ready desk reference relative to building, maintaining and repairing structures of any type

Sudhakar Nair "Introduction to Continuum Mechanics"
Cambridge University Press | English | 2009-03-16 | ISBN: 0521875625 | 256 pages | PDF | 1,1 MB
This textbook treats solids and fluids in a balanced manner, using thermodynamic restrictions on the relation between applied forces and material responses. This unified approach can be appreciated by engineers, physicists, and applied mathematicians with some background in engineering mechanics. It has many examples and about 150 exercises for students to practice. The higher mathematics needed for a complete understanding is provided in the early chapters. This subject is essential for engineers involved in experimental or numerical modeling of material behavior.

A Practical Guide to Reliable Finite Element Modelling
Wiley | ISBN: 0470018321 | 2008-03-07 | PDF | 380 pages | 5 Mb
Many books have been written about the finite element method; little however has been written about procedures that assist a practicing engineer in undertaking an analysis in such a way that errors and uncertainties can be controlled. In A Practical Guide to Reliable Finite Element Modelling, Morris addresses this important area. His book begins by introducing the reader to finite element analysis (FEA), covering the fundamental principles of the method, whilst also outlining the potential problems involved. He then establishes consistent methods for carrying out analyses and obtaining accurate and reliable results, concluding with a new method for undertaking error control led analyses which is illustrated by means of two case studies.
The book addresses a number of topics that:
• Systematically cover an introduction to FEA, how computers build linear-static and linear-dynamic finite element models, the identification of error sources, error control methods and error-controlled analyses.
• Enable the reader to support the design of complex structures with reliable, repeatable analyses using the finite element method.
• Provide a basis for establishing good practice that could underpin a legal defence in the event of a claim for negligence.
A Practical Guide to Reliable Finite Element Modelling will appeal to practising engineers engaged in conducting regular finite element analyses, particularly those new to the field. It will also be a resource for postgraduate students and researchers addressing problems associated with errors in the finite element method.

J. N. Reddy "An Introduction to Continuum Mechanics (Classroom Resource Materials)"
Cambridge University Press | 2007-10-29 | ISBN: 0521870445 | 368 pages | PDF | 2,5 MB
This textbook on continuum mechanics reflects the modern view that scientists and engineers should be trained to think and work in multidisciplinary environments. The book is ideal for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students. The book features: derivations of the basic equations of mechanics in invariant (vector and tensor) form and specializations of the governing equations to various coordinate systems; numerous illustrative examples; chapter-end summaries; and exercise problems to test and extend the understanding of concepts presented.

The Economics of Urban Transportation
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN:0415285143
edition 2007
PDF 1,8 mb
276 pages
This timely new edition of Kenneth A. Smalls seminal textbook Urban Transportation Economics, co-authored with Erik T. Verhoef, has been fully updated, covering new areas such as parking policies, reliability of travel times, and the privatization of transportation services, as well as updated treatments of congestion modelling, environmental costs, and transit subsidies.
Rigorous in approach and making use of real-world data and econometric techniques, it contains case studies from a range of countries including congestion charging in Norway, Singapore and the UK, light rail in the Netherlands and freeway tolls in the US.
Small and Verhoef cover all basic topics needed for any application of economics to transportation:
forecasting the demand for transportation services under alternative policiesmeasuring all the costs including those incurred by userssetting prices under practical constraintschoosing and evaluating investments in basic facilitiesdesigning ways in which the private and public sectors interact to provide services.
This book will be of great interest to students with basic calculus and some knowledge of economic theory who are engaged with transportation economics, planning and, or engineering, travel demand analysis, and many related fields. It will also be essential reading for researchers in any aspect of urban transportation.

Handbook of Transportation Policy and Administration

Handbook of Transportation Policy and Administration

In the past few decades, the field of transportation has changed dramatically. Deregulation and greater reliance on markets and the private sector has helped to reconfigure the transport industries, while the rise of intermodal goods and global commerce has produced efficiencies of operation and a greater interdependence among transport modes. In addition, security issues have moved to the forefront as officials struggle with the challenge of protecting the vast transportation system while maintaining its operational efficiencies and effectiveness.
Taking a multidisciplinary approach, the Handbook of Transportation Policy and Administration addresses the changes facing the field of transportation. Organized into five sections, it describes and analyzes major modes of transportation and components of the contemporary transportation system. Later chapters consider policy and administration and focus on managing transportation systems and assets. The final section covers security and protection of transportation systems. The handbook explores continuing development in the US and other nations, with an emphasis on the challenges created by technological change, globalization of the world economy, and the threat of terrorism. It examines the current state of major modes of transportation (air, rail, highways, waterways, ports, urban mass transit) and presents public policies and management approaches to make transportation systems efficient, innovative, and responsive.
