Connection design in an introductory steel course is often difficult to effectively communicate. Time constraints and priority of certain other topics over connection design also tend to inhibit sufficient treatment of connection design.
The Steel Connections Teaching toolkit is an attempt to effectively incorporate the fundamentals of steel connection design into a first course in steel design. The toolkit addresses three broad issues that arise when teaching students steel connection design: visualization, load paths, and limit states.
In structural analysis classes, students are shown idealized structures. Simple lines represent beams and columns, while pins, hinges and fixed supports characterize connections. However, real structures are composed of beams, girders and columns, all joined together through bolting or welding of plates and angles. It is no wonder that student shave trouble visualizing and understanding the true three-dimensional nature of connections!

The scientific disciplines of hydrology and hydrogeology are expanding as the Earth's water is being recognized by governments and individuals as a shrinking resource-no entity can afford to take water for granted. At the present time, there is no single reference source for definitions. The Encyclopedic Dictionary of Hydrogeology is a practical, comprehensive reference guide with complete definitions of terms in hydrogeology and other fields closely related to water practices. This concise reference not only defines terms and concepts, but also provides a clear explanation of key elements so that an in-depth understanding of processes may be obtained.
* With more than 2,000 entries, from "absolute permeability" to the "Z-R relationship", this dictionary features the most up-to-date vocabulary in hydrology and hydrogeology. This dictionary would be of use to practicing scientists and professionals in all the fields of water science.
* More than 340 graphs, tables and diagrams complement the entries in order to clarify terms, methods, or processes
* Essential reference for students, academics, consultants, and practitioners in hydrology, hydrogeology, environmental engineering, environmental law, and the government

Hi
This semester I am taking My MSc thesis topic but I don't know what to do.
Can any one please help me, I am very confused. The subject I am interested in, is HYDRAULIC STRUCTURES. But I will appreciate any topic as long as it is related to Structural engineering and wont require a lot of money to get it done.
Thanks

Materials: Degradation and Its Control by Surface Engineering
info:
Materials: Degradation and Its Control by Surface Engineering
Publisher: World Scientific
Pages: 428
2003-03
ISBN 1860943349
PDF| 22 MB
The second edition of Materials Degradation and Its Control by Surface Engineering continues the theme of the first edition, where discussions on corrosion, wear, fatigue and thermal damage are balanced by similarly detailed discussions on their control methods, e.g. painting and metallic coatings. The book is written for the non-specialist, with an emphasis on introducing technical concepts graphically rather than through algebraic equations. In the second edition, the graphic content is enhanced by an additional series of colour and monochrome photographs that illustrate key aspects of the controlling physical phenomena. Existing topics such as liquid metal corrosion have been extended and new topics such as corrosion inhibitors added.

Design and Construction in Romanesque Architecture
info:
Design and Construction in Romanesque Architecture.
First Romanesque architecture
and the pointed arch in Burgundy and northern Italy
by C. Edson Armi
Cambridge University Press
2004
ISBN: 0511166303
235 pages
PDF 8 Mb
This book reveals the significance and depth of the First Romanesque period in a comprehensive physical, religious, and cultural context.
An original interpretation of Romanesque architecture by focusing on buildings in northern Italy, Switzerland, southern France, and Catalonia, the regions where Romanesque architecture first appeared around 1000 AD. He integrates the study of medieval structure with a knowledge of construction, decoration and articulation to determine the origins of medieval architecture and the High Romanesque style. Armi's in depth study reveals new knowledge about design decisions in the early Middle Ages.
