A recent construction project in Singapore involved a Russian plant, a Japanese management team, Australian and Italian engineers, Thai steel workers and a labour force from throughout Asia...
The recent growth explosion of multi-nationals and the lowering of trade barriers is pushing the globalization of construction at a startling pace. Mark Mawhinney has brought together for the first time, advice, information and evidence on this developing arena from a wide range of sources.
This book offers a clear understanding of the international construction market and an explanation of what knowledge is required to operate successfully in it. It also helps readers become familiar with some of the analytical tools available.
Drawing on both contractor and consultant case studies and including a practical 'hints and signposts' section, International Construction provides a lively and informed introduction for construction professionals moving into international work.

Acontinuation of Introduction to Finite Element Methods that covers more advanced FEM applications to linear static problems in structural mechanics. In particular: axisymmetric solids, 3D solids, plates and shells, and special elements.
This book covers advanced techniques for the analysis of linear elastic structures by the Finite Element Method (FEM). It has been constructed from Notes prepared for the course Advanced to Finite Element Methods or AFEM. This course has been taught at the department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences, University of Colorado at Boulder since 1990.

hi dear friends:
I need information please, I'm doing a thesis on plate bending (thin and thick), membrane (with normal rotations) and flat shell element (thin and thick), somebody will have the mathematical formulation of this element, I'm against time to really appreciate it might help.

This third edition of what has become a modern classic presents a lively overview of materials science that is ideal for students of structural engineering. It contains chapters on the structure of engineering materials, the determination of mechanical properties, metals and alloys, glasses and ceramics, organic polymeric materials and composite materials. It contains a section with thought-provoking questions as well as a series of useful appendices. Tabulated data in the body of the text, and the appendices, have been selected to increase the value of Materials for Engineering as a permanent source of reference to readers throughout their professional lives. The Second edition was awarded Choice's Outstanding Academic Title award in 2003. This third edition includes new information on emerging topics and updated reading lists.

The job of the estimator is explained in detail at every key stage, from early cost studies, through the preparation of the estimate, to the creation of budgets for successful tenders. Each step is illustrated with examples and notes, and appropriate technical documentation.
Over recent years there have been significant developments in construction management, notably new procurement methods, greater emphasis on innovation and partnering, a greater reliance on cost planning as a methodology, and new developments in both industry and governmental reports and guidance.
This new and updated edition of a well-established textbook addresses each of these developments in turn, placing them firmly in the context of a thorough and easy to understand introduction to the roles of the estimator in preparing and winning tenders.
Practical approach to estimating from the contractor's point of view
Fully up-to-date with new procurement methods
Many examples of estimators' notes and documents

Commentary and worked examples to
EN 1993-1-5 "Plated structural elements"
The objective of this commentary is to present the scientific background to the rules. The mechanical models behind the rules are presented and references to source documents are given. All such models include simplifications, which have to be justified by calibration of the rules against test results. Several models for each failure mode have been checked with calibrations according to Annex D of EN 1990 and the ones included in EN 1993-1-5 are those giving the lowest scatter and the most uniform safety. The procedure for calibration will be summarised in section 1.2. It should be noted that EN 1993-1-5, being a generic code, does not suggest partial factor values. According to the Eurocode system these values depend on the specific application and should be given by application parts e.g. for buildings in EN 1993-1-1 and bridges in EN 1993-2.

Design rules for lateral torsional buckling of channel sections EC3 & DIN
(image edited)
info:
Channel sections are widely used in practice as beams. However, design rules for eccentrically loaded (not through shear centre) beams with channel cross-sections are not available in Eurocode 3. In this paper five proposed design rules are summarised, explained and their validity is checked by Finite Element analyses. The design rules yield ultimate loads that are compared to ultimate loads from geometrical and material nonlinear analyses of imperfect (GMNIA) beams with channel cross-sections. A parameter study is performed by varying the dimensions of the cross-section, the span length to section height ratio of the beams, the type of loading and the point of load application but is limited to load application through the web of the channels. Based on one of the proposed design rules, this study has led to a new design rule which conforms to Eurocode 3. This is a 10 pages article (a chapter).
