Reflects a decade of technological changes in concrete industry! The newest edition of this popular ASTM publication reflects the latest technology in concrete and concrete-making materials. Six sections cover: (1) General information on the nature of concrete, sampling, variability, and testing laboratories. A new chapter deals with modeling cement and concrete properties. (2) Properties of freshly mixed concrete. (3) Properties of hardened concrete. (4) Concrete aggregates—this section has been revised and the chapters are presented in the order that most concerns concrete users: grading, density, soundness, degradation resistance, petrographic examination, reactivity, and thermal properties. (5) Materials other than aggregates—the chapter on curing materials now reflects the current technology of materials applied to new concrete surfaces. The chapter on mineral admixtures has been separated into two chapters: supplementary cementitious materials and ground slag. (6) Specialized concretes—contains a new chapter on self-consolidating concrete

Manual on Elastic-Plastic Fracture: Laboratory Test Procedures
(Astm Manual Series, Mnl 27)
Publisher: ASTM International
ISBN: 0803120699
edition 1996
PDF 10,3 mb
101 pages
This manual provides specific guidance and instruction on equipment, apparatus, test fixtures, transducers, test setup, test procedure, and analysis of the data. Although nothing compares with hands on training as offered by the ASTM Technical and Professional Training Course on Elastic- Plastic Fracture,' this manual attempts to provide the next best thing through the use of test examples, example calculations, photographs of test apparatus and fracture samples, as well as expert advice and reference to papers in the literature describing various test techniques.

I have observered several members were banned recently. Just wondering is there a possiblilty, whenever someone is banned the reason be stated in forum discussion or any other way for other members. NOT TO PICK on the banned person but enabling other members not to make the same mistake as he have.
I know this is extra work for you guys. but its only a suggestion. :)
We all will make mistakes, this way there will be less of them.
This publication presents procedures for the design of wind-moment frames in accordance with BS 5950-1. In this method of design, the frame is made statically determinate by treating the connections as pinned under vertical loads and fixed under horizontal loads (with certain assumed points of zero moment). The publication gives design procedures for frames that are braced in the minor axis direction and for frames that do not have bracing in either principal direction. The limitations of the method, which differ slightly for these two cases, are explained. In particular, it should be noted that the method is only recommended for low-rise frames up to four storeys high.

Ferdinand P. Beer, E. Russell Johnston Jr., John T. DeWolf, "Mechanics of Materials"
McGraw Hill Higher Education | 2005 | ISBN: 0071249990 | 779 pages | PDF | 36,5 MB
For the past forty years Beer and Johnston have been the uncontested leaders in the teaching of undergraduate engineering mechanics. Their careful presentation of content, unmatched levels of accuracy, and attention to detail have made their texts the standard for excellence. The revision of their classic "Mechanics of Materials" features an updated art and photo program as well as numerous new and revised homework problems. The text's superior Online Learning Center includes an extensive Self-paced, Mechanics, Algorithmic, Review and Tutorial (S.M.A.R.T.), created by George Staab and Brooks Breeden of The Ohio State University, that provides students with additional help on key concepts. The custom website also features animations for each chapter, lecture powerpoints, and other online resources for both instructors and students.

"Advanced Strength and Applied Elasticity"
Prentice Hall PTR ,4 ed | 2003 | ISBN: 0130473928 | 560 pages | PDF | 11,3 MB
This systematic exploration of real-world stress analysis has been completely revised and updated to reflect state-of-the-art methods and applications now in use throughout the fields of aeronautical, civil, and mechanical engineering and engineering mechanics. Distinguished by its exceptional visual interpretations of the solutions, it offers an in-depth coverage of the subjects for students and practicing engineers. The authors carefully balance comprehensive treatments of solid mechanics, elasticity, and computer-oriented numerical methods. In addition, a wide range of fully worked illustrative examples and an extensive problem sets--many taken directly from engineering practice--have been incorporated. Key additions to the Fourth Edition of this highly acclaimed textbook are materials dealing with failure theories, fracture mechanics, compound cylinders, numerical approaches, energy and variational methods, buckling of stepped columns, common shell types, and more. Contents include stress, strain and stress-strain relations, problems in elasticity, static and dynamic failure criteria, bending of beams and torsion of bars, finite difference and finite element methods, axisymmetrically loaded members, beams on elastic foundations, energy methods, elastic stability, plastic behavior of materials, stresses in plates and shells, and selected references to expose readers to the latest information in the field.

Progressive Collapse of Structures

The progressive collapse of a structure is characterized by a disproportion between a comparatively minor event or local failure and the ensuing widespread collapse. Different structural systems exhibit different degrees of susceptibility to progressive collapse and such differences are neglected in modern design procedures based on reliability theory.
Disregarding the potential for progressive collapse in structural design can be associated with such catastrophic events as the collapses of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building (Oklahoma City, 1995) and the World Trade Center (New York, 2001), but also with a large number of less dramatic failures.
This book gives engineers the practical, systematic framework they need to anticipate the risk of progressive collapse and apply this knowledge to design and assessment procedures.
This will be an invaluable guide for structural engineers at all levels as well as many students and lecturers on civil and structural engineering courses.
Contents
