STP 1394 covers the latest concepts in new stone cladding and the rehabilitation of existing stone cladding installations. 13 peer-reviewed papers are grouped into four sections: Stone Cladding Preconstruction Evaluation--examines doctoral thesis research work performed at the University of Illinois, regarding the use of impulse-generated stress waves as a nondestructive means of determining stone properties. Stone Weathering And Durability--details methods of durability assessment currently used in the U.S. and European Community; discusses the relationships between crystalline structure, thermal hysteresis, and bowing of Carrara marble panels; and offers a case history assessing the root causes of weathering-induced damage to an 80 year old granite facade and explores a variety of restorative treatment methods. Design Of Stone Cladding Systems--addresses granite design issues involving wind and gravity support systems. Investigation And Restoration Of Existing Stone Cladding Systems--offer a variety of case studies, observations, and specific recommendations regarding investigative means and repair methods used to address distressed stone facades. This publication will be of interest to • Designers • Building Owners • Architects • Engineers • Contractors • Rehabilitation Specialists

NATIONAL BUILDING CODE OF INDIA 2005
(Loads forces & Effects)
Part 6: Structural Design
(Section 1: Loads, Forces and Effects)
This Section covers basic design loads to be assumed in the design of buildings, the imposed loads, wind loads, seismic loads, snow loads and other loads, which are specified herein are minimum working loads which should be taken into consideration of design.
This is scan from hard copy - quality is not so good but workable.

Description:
BS 8500 - Concrete, is the complementary British Standard to BS EN 206 - 1 and was first published in March 2002. It provides substantial national provisions not covered in BS EN 206 - 1. Both documents replaced BS 5328, Concrete, in December 2003. BS 8500 was updated in November 2006.
The standard is in two parts:
- Method of specifying and guidance for the specifier
- Specification for constituent materials and concrete.
Part 1 is for the specifier i.e. the person or body establishing the specification for the fresh and hardened concrete or who passes the specification to the producer, in other words the purchaser of the ready-mixed concrete.
Part 2 is for the producer and contains specification requirements for the producer.

Post-Tensioned Concrete Walls and Frames for Seismic-Resistance
info:
This case-study describes an innovative application of post-tensioned concrete construction in the new David Brower Center urban mixed-use development.
The use of post-tensioning in concrete structures to resist gravity loads is a well established technology with wide application. Recent advances in design practice and analysis techniques are demonstrating that post-tensioning also offers significant cost and performance benefits when incorporated into seismic resisting concrete walls and frames.

Revit Architecture allows architects to focus on designing buildings, without design software or application learning curves getting in the way. Work in any view, iterate throughout your different design phases, and quickly and easily make changes to major compositional elements. Create comprehensive design proposals in record time. See your ideas realized on the fly with 3D views and fully rendered scenes. You can even make late-stage changes with full confidence that your plans, schedules, and construction documents are coordinated.

Quote:This is not version "suite". I think it is different from Revit Structure 2009 Suite so i posted it.
If moderator or admin don't agree with me, you can delete this threat.
Hope to help somebody download more easiler.
Thanks

Contaminated Sediments: Characterization, Evaluation, Mitigation/Restoration, and Management Strategy Performance

Contaminated Sediments: Characterization, Evaluation, Mitigation/Restoration, and Management Strategy Performance
(Astm Special Technical Publication, 1442.)
By ASTM International
Publisher: ASTM International

ISBN: 0803134665

PDF 5.74MB
Product Description:
This new publication reviews recent advances in contaminated sediments-management-related research and focuses on the engineering aspects of contaminant transport, erosion, stability, monitoring, and modeling. It identifies both established and innovative physico-chemical and biological tests and methods used to characterize and evaluate properties and behavior of contaminated sediments, as well as the potential for contaminant transfer. This data reflects recent work carried out on large coastal investigations and on natural and artificial capping of contaminated sediments. Twenty-three peer-reviewed papers cover: Sediment Characterization of contaminated sediments has become more and more complex. It involves ex situ techniques from standard tests (e.g., physical properties) to biological analysis in addition to all the chemical analyses, but also in situ ones like erodability tests. Mitigation and Restoration Methods are diversified and touch on many different environments from river sediments and harbor lagoons to land reclamation. They involve techniques ranging from the use of geotextiles and geocomposites to selective sequential extraction methods Monitoring and Performance aspects of contaminated sediments are largely supported by extensive site investigations, like the Southern California project, but also by the development of modeling tools. In addition, four peer-reviewed papers in this volume summarize a five-year research effort aimed at evaluating the performance of a catastrophic capping layer resulting from the major 1996 Saguenay flood disaster that proved to be very beneficial to the Saguenay Fjord environment and ecosystem by covering most of the ancient contaminated sediments. Audience: This book is an invaluable resource for environmental engineers and scientists, water quality engineers, soil scientists, geotechnical engineers, and environmentalists, educators, and legislators.
