Wind Loads on Pipe Racks and Open Frame Structure and Steel Pipe Rack Design
info:
Wind Load on Pipe Rack
The purpose of this practice is to provide the engineer and designer with
guidelines for wind load on Pipe Racks and Open Frame Structures for use by
engineers working on Saudi Aramco projects and Saudi Aramco engineers.
Steel Pipe Rack Design
This design guide defines the minimum requirements for the design of piperacks
in process industry facilities at Saudi Aramco sites. It covers general design
philosophy and requirements to be used in the analysis and design of piperacks.
Criteria presented herein pertain to loads, load combinations, allowable stresses,
and superstructure and foundation design. Section 2 of this instruction includes
reference codes, and Saudi Aramco Standards.

The range of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) applications in new construction, and in the retrofitting of existing civil engineering infrastructure, is continuing to grow worldwide. Furthermore, this progress is being matched by advancing research into all aspects of analysis and design. The Second International Conference on FRP Composites in Civil Engineering (CICE 2004) provided an international forum for the scientific community to exchange ideas and develop future directions in this rapidly developing field.
The papers included in these proceedings cover a wide range of FRP applications in civil engineering and represent the contributions from nine keynote speakers, four invited speakers and over a hundred contributed papers, from over twenty countries.

Pressure Relief Devices
info:
Mohammad A Malek, "Pressure Relief Devices"
MgH | 2005 | ISBN: 007145537X | 475 pages | PDF | 4,2 MB
Within the boiler, piping and pressure vessel industry, pressure relief devices are considered one of the most important safety components. These Devices are literally the last line of defense against catastrophic failure or even lose of life. Written in plain language, this fifth book in the ASME Simplified series addresses the various codes and recommended standards of practice for the maintenance and continued operations of pressure relief valves as specified by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the American Petroleum Institute. Covered in this book are: preventive maintenance procedures, methods for evaluation of mechanical components and accepted methods for cleaning, adjusting and lubricating various components to assure continued operation and speed performance as well as procedures for recording and evaluating these items.

Art and Architecture in Medieval France: Medieval Architecture, Sculpture, Stained Glass, Manuscripts, the Art of the Church Treasuries
Publisher: Harper and Row | ISBN: 0064300226 | edition 1972 | PDF | 432 pages | 78 mb
This is an English-language study on the architecture and art of medieval France of the Romanesque and Gothic periods, approximately 1000 - 1500. In addition to essays on individual monuments there are general discussions of given periods and specific problems such as: why did Gothic come into being? Whitney Stoddard explores the interrelationship between all forms of medieval ecclesiastical art and characterization of the Gothic cathedral, which he believes to have an almost metaphysical basis.

Trends in Continuum Mechanics of Porous Media
Reint de Boer
Publisher: Springer
2005-04-29
ISBN: 1402031432
PDF 2.23 MB
282 pages
In the last decade and, in particular in recent years, the macroscopic porous media theory has made decisive progress concerning the fundamentals of the theory and the development of mathematical models in various fields of engineering and biomechanics. This progress attracted some attention and therefore conferences devoted almost exlusively to the macrosopic porous media theory have been organized in order to collect all findings, to present new results, and to discuss new trends. Also in national and international journals a great number of important contributions have been published which has brought the porous media theory, in some parts, to a close. Therefore, the time seems to be ripe to review the state of the art and to show new trends in the continuum mechanical treatment of saturated and unsaturated capillary and non-capillary porous solids.
This book addresses post-graduate students, scientists, working in engineering, physics and mathematicians. It provides an outline of modern theory of porous media and shows some trends in theory and in applications.
